I'm going to FC soon and I need to learn this matchup. I main Samus, but I can't touch good Sheiks with Samus :(. So I just sheik ditto them. What are some things I need to know about this match up.

This is about the extient of my ground game:
I mindgame downsmash spam.
Dash in then wavedash back for mind games.
Bair spam.
Ftilt or Dtilt to Fair.

Chain grabbing:
Low percents I Dthrow-> Jab-> Dash Grab
Chain grab starting at about 40%
I have a hard time finishing off the chain throw if they keep DIing away! Anyone other DI leads to an easy slap.

Edgeguarding:
CC near ledge and Dsmash.
Maybe the occasional run off and Fair.



What else do I need to incorperate into my game? I have trouble getting grabs sometimes too. When do I use the Jab-> Grab?

You can jab>grab when your SHFFL'ed air doesn't connect, especially if they're slow on the shield grab. As for edgeguarding you might try hanging on the edge and edge hopping the nair or using the bair depending on the situation. If you get to the point where you can no longer chain grab you might try to tech chase into a j-cancelled u-smash. I don't do this but I've had it used against me by a superior player and it can be very effective. Needles are always good too, and the dash attack cancelled grab has great range. Hope this helps.
