One of Sheik's greatest strengths is her overall mobility, being among the best in the game both grounded and aerial, boasting the 5th fastest [[walk]]ing speed, 8th fastest [[dash]]ing speed, above average [[traction]], high [[air speed]] and [[air acceleration]] and the 9th fastest [[falling speed]]. She also has high [[gravity]], which makes her mobility better, but leaves her more vulnerable to vertical knockback. However, she is also the 7th [[weight|lightest]] character; when coupled with her gravity and tall height, these traits collectively make her very susceptible to combos. Her crouch is also very low, making her difficult to hit when doing so. Sheik can also wall cling and crawl. | ||
Aside from her excellent mobility, another of Sheik's greatest strengths is her nearly-unrivaled frame data. Her moves have generally negligible amounts of startup and ending lag, making her extremely difficult to punish properly, and this is supplemented by the good range of her moveset. She also has an excellent projectile in [[Needle Storm]], with the needles being fast, long-ranged (covers about half of [[Final Destination]]), possessing [[transcendent priority]], and causing [[hitstun]]. Coupled with her range, her needles give her a strong camping ability. Overall, her mobility, projectile game, range and frame data all combined form her greatest strength: her outstanding neutral game. She can play both defensively, by pressuring and zoning from afar without much trouble, or aggressively, with her fast attack speed giving her an unpredictable approach. Sheik can poke and pressure her opponents with her aerials and tilts, all of which are safe options. If they choose to drop shield, they are wide open to these attacks. At the same time, holding shield presents her with an opportunity to grab and use her throw set-ups. | Aside from her excellent mobility, another of Sheik's greatest strengths is her nearly-unrivaled frame data.
