Sheik Vs. Jiggledude

[John Onefifteen]

so through my entire span of being a sheik main I have always had trouble versing puff. I just cant seem to find the right strategy, what would be an effective game plan versing a jigglypuff main?

Aerial needles and platform camping also try to get grabs to followup such as fair uair or bair

Platform camp + Needle stuff like rye_un said. Spacing Bairs a ton in neutral is good too. Your general aim in the mu is to just play it safe and not let Jiggs feel like she can just approach you for free; make a wall of Bair/Needles/Fading Nair+Fairs. But also make sure to be ready to capitalize on anything once they inevitably screw up. Don't give up too much stage control, either. If you give them more than 3/4 of the stage, their punishes get that much scarier if you screw up

Watch out for crouching too when you go in for those grabs

Other than that just try to keep her above you. That's where it's hardest for Jiggs

A lot of Sheiks staples are just plain out countered by Jiggs. Be careful with your grabs because Puff and crouch under the range and punish with a rest. Puff can also crouch cancel rest lots of sheiks moves like dash attack, fsmash and dsmash. The best bet is as others have suggested it to play super safe and don't commit hard to anything. Another thing to note if the Puff player knows what their doing just about every edgeguard against sheik should net a kill, If possible go for the ledge with your up-b but if they go for the edge hog on stages like battlefield or yoshis try for the platform above the ledge. You gotta be careful with up-b onto stage because the endlag gives Puff enough time to land a rest.
