Sheik (SSBU)

Line 199:

Patch 3.0.0 eventually gave Sheik a handful of buffs, most notably improving the effectiveness of some staple moves like down tilt, forward aerial and [[Needle Storm]]. As a result, some of her former players, most notably {{Sm|VoiD}} and {{Sm|Mr.R}}, began representing her in tournaments again, and her perception within the community has improved somewhat as some players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} believe that Sheik has potential and could make a great secondary character. {{Sm|VoiD}} has been using Sheik along with Pichu and has used her to great success.

~~However~~, Sheik's perception has been questionable more recently, as {{Sm|VoiD}} has gotten worse results and has started to use his other mains, such as {{SSBU|Joker}} more often than Sheik. As a result, the general reception of her has ~~shifted back to a low tier~~ by ~~most~~ professionals ~~once again~~. As of now, Sheik's current spot in the metagame is uncertain.

For a while, Sheik's perception has been questionable more recently, as {{Sm|VoiD}} has gotten worse results and has started to use his other mains, such as {{SSBU|Joker}} more often than Sheik. This was up until Sheik was buffed again in 7.0.0, and as a result VoiD has recently gotten much better results with the character, greatly improving her perception within the Smash community with most professionals claiming she is a upper mid to high tier character. Soon after, he placed 13th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}} with solo Sheik, and is the highest placement for a solo main for that character.

As a result, the general reception of her has become positive by many professionals although many still consider Sheik's flaws too severe for her to have dominance in tournaments like in ''Smash 4''. As of now, Sheik's current spot in the metagame is uncertain though she is in a much better position than she was back in late 2018.

However, {{Sm|VoiD}} has picked up Sheik once more and she was buffed in 7.0.0, as a result {{Sm|Void}} has recently gotten much better results with the character, greatly improving her perception within the Smash community with most professionals claiming she is a upper mid to high tier character.
