Sheik (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Line 21: Line 21:
Sheik is one of the fastest characters in the game, having the fourth fastest running speed, high attack speed, and a quick, long and deadly [[DACUS]]. She has one of the best comboing abilities, as her attacks have very little start up and ending lag, with overall low knockback, allowing them to chain effectively. The best example of this is Sheik's forward tilt. As in Melee, the forward tilt can smoothly follow after her up tilt, down tilt, neutral aerial, forward aerial, back aerial, down smash, and jab cancel; it can also repeatedly link into itself to easily rack up 50% or more, especially on fast-fallers or heavy characters, such as {{SSBB|Fox}}. Sheik's up tilt can combo into itself very low percentages, and at slightly higher percentages, it leads well into a forward tilt. It has a very large hitbox in terms of size and duration, making it a powerful defensive move.

As for her smash attacks, Sheik's down smash has multiple hits and has long range. Her up smash can KO easily at around 100%, but only when it is sweetspotted, which is not always easy. Her forward smash isn't very powerful, but it is a two hit combo and has fairly good range.  
Sheik has rather poor smash attacks overall, Sheik's down smash has multiple hits and has long range, but has very low knockback for an attack of its type. Her up smash can KO easily at around 100%, but only when it is sweetspotted, which is not always easy. Her forward smash is among the weakest in ''Brawl'', but it is a two hit combo and has fairly good range.  


Sheik also has a fairly powerful aerial game. Her back and neutral aerials have very similar knockback and speed and negligible landing lag outside of auto-cancel. If hit in the initial few frames, they have decent knockback, making them useful for edgeguarding, and they have good range. Her up aerial has some landing lag and has less knockback. Her forward aerial is a quick swipe with low knockback but a great semi-spike trajectory, low lag, but sub-par range. This makes it a great move for KO'ing at higher percentages. Her down aerial is a [[stall-then-fall]], negating all vertical knockback, but unfortunately, it has high landing lag and can cause a SD if used off-stage.
