'''Chain''' ({{ja|鉄糸舞|Tetsushimai}}, ''Iron Thread Dance'') is [[Sheik]]'s [[side special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It involves Sheik pulling out a long metal chain and whipping it around. When Sheik pulls out the chain, the player has full analog control over it. The player can whip it in all directions - above and even behind Sheik's head. When a foe makes contact with the middle of the chain, they are slightly damaged. However, when the foe makes contact with the tip of the chain, they are given a small electric shock. It can be used to block solid projectiles like [[Link]] or [[Samus]]'s bombs. In ''Brawl'', the chain can act as a [[tether recovery]], although inexperienced players randomly whipping the chain around can cause Sheik to immediately let go once tethered.  Due to the move's poor damage and lag, Chain is almost never used in competitive play.

When Sheik pulls out the chain, the player has full analog control over it. The player can whip it in all directions - above and even behind Sheik's head. When a foe makes contact with the middle of the chain, they are slightly damaged. However, when the foe makes contact with the tip of the chain, they are given a small electric shock. It can be used to block solid projectiles like [[Link]] or [[Samus]]'s bombs. In ''Brawl'', the chain can act as a [[tether recovery]], although inexperienced players randomly whipping the chain around can cause Sheik to immediately let go once tethered.  Due to the move's poor damage and lag, Chain is almost never used in competitive play.


There is also a glitch called the [[Chain Jacket glitch]] which affects the properties of the move's hitboxes.
