Social Stuff that ends in fair..... A Sheik Social Thread!

[edgeluca]

Be more creative? Idk your playstyle so for all I know you may be hella creative.

 

[soap]

i can play sheik for hours if it's against alternating competition that's really good

 

[DualCats]

I've been playing Sheik fairly infrequently lately, but I don't think I'm going to stop maining Sheik. Falco is too fun.

 

[Zoler]

Yeah, same, if I have good competition I can, but when it's someone that I can beat with my other characters I'd just rather play them, and I figure it's because I think they're more fun?

I will never stop maining sheik tho, but I'd love her to be as fun as she was when I started playing XD

 

[soap]

falcon is too fun against scrubs. that's just the way of the world.

 

[Zoler]

I got over my depression... I wanna play sheik now. I wish there was some universal law which said that you always have someone to play smash with ;_;

 

[AlcyoNite]

i usually only switch from sheik when i feel like its just abuse.

ie vs falcon or sheik dittos

i mean, i like playing chain-grabbalb mu's w/o chaingrab, but when i know the mu is simply not fun from the other party and i can tell they arent learning anything, i switch to marth or falco

at least with falco i know ill die a lot so the other person can feel better about himself

 

[KirbyKaze]

I only CG now vs. people that aren't good.

Without is too slow.

 

[soap]

I don't care about other people's feelings

 

[AlcyoNite]

but without the other person's feelings, there is no reason for them to play with u

 

[KirbyKaze]

It's dumb because half the time with noobs they'll be like, "Yo, no CG."

So you respond with, "Uhh, sure."

Then halfway into the match you're up 3-1 or whatever so they start doing it to catch up. Or they always do it at low percent when they can't link d-throw > dash attack and I'm like, "What are you doing?"

And their argument is something like, "It's not gay if I only do it a little bit. Three regrabs isn't much."

And it just creates stupidity.

 

[gm jack]

Then get a grab and do it until death. Because doing it for one stock isn't that gay.

If you agree to no CG at least stick to it and take the loss.

 

[Zoler]

I've never CGd with sheik, is it fun?

 

[gm jack]

I've never CGd with sheik, is it fun?

I CG bad Peach's etc who don't know how to DI or nair out. Feels good man.

 

[DualCats]

I've never CGd with sheik, is it fun?

It feels dirty. After every sheik ditto I play, I have to sit down for a bit and think about what I've done.

I look like this after I CG another sheik to death

[KirbyKaze]

It's gay but I mean, we're playing Sheik.

 

[Twin_A]

It's gay but I mean, we're playing Sheik.

Oh God I may very well sig that...

 

[Zoler]

Maybe it's just me but I've never seen Sheik as gay lol

 

[Beat!]

It might have something to do with you not playing NTSC.

 

[Zoler]

True indeed.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Yeah, if you're europe you're probably playing PAL and Sheik CAN'T be that gay.

 

[Beat!]

Well, downthrow isn't broken, and uair is a friggin joke (apart from certain combo situations).

 

[gm jack]

Uair is an amazing combo move, if hard to land the initial hit (I tend to get it tech chasing through platforms). You can get ******** strings like Uair -> DJ Uair -> land on top platform and tilt -> Uair -> DJ Fair on mid percent falcons etc. It pops them up just so that your DJ will allow you to hit them again, so I often think of it as a quicker alternative to Dair (though Dair's longer hitbox gives it other good uses).

Without the broken Dthrow, we were hardly going to get a load of set ups into it on floaty characters anyway, and it still can be used as an opportunistic killer and to poke at people above you.

 

[Beat!]

It's that useful?

Oh well, I'm not good, so I can get away with saying stuff that's wrong :D

 

[DualCats]

Oh well, I'm not good, so I can get away with saying stuff that's wrong :D

This has been my philosophy since December 2009 =3

 

[Zoler]

Uair is indeed great even in PAL, I find it useful to throw at spacies that try to jump around at platforms

 

[gm jack]

I'm really bad as well, but just recently I've tried copying KK and using it on fast fallers (though I'm finding it does have a use at lower percents on Marth etc) to pop them up for another hit. People are starting to do the same with Dair, but sometimes, you can't afford the delay of going above them and falling a move onto them, and Uair allows you to push them up so you can DJ and hit them again quickly. It's actually really easy to do, but a bit situational, so it's hard to practice.

Next time you Uthrow a fast faller onto a low platform and read their tech, rahter than going straight for a fair/nair, try uairing as soon as you full jump and hit them again.

Gets an extra 10% in PAL (12% in NTSC), which could score the extra percent to help get the kill. It also looks awesome.

 

[soap]

beware of uairing into platforms at low percents. it won't combo very well and if they CC you will be hurt

 

[Jolteon]

pal uair is really **** for comboing falcon

i hate our uair/weaker usmash though lmao, I love off the top kills so much

 

[DualCats]

I think I like uair through platforms because it allows you to poke-and-run fairly easily. I've previously been doing that largely with bair but I like the possibilities for combos at moderate levels of damage.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Why do I play this character?
She is so boring...

 

[gm jack]

Then you're doing it wrong.

 

[j3ly]

says he who has never done it right ^

 

[Cosmo!]

chaingrabbing is my favorite part of sheik dittos

 

[The Good Doctor]

chaingrabbing is my favorite part of sheik dittos

I can vouch for this^

 

[Zoler]

Played quite a few sheik dittos with Android, Armadas younger brother yesterday. Really fun matchup as always.

I like KOs by soft hits

Man I wish I can play the PAL version

 

[Jolteon]

Man I wish I can play the PAL version

It's funny when you get stuff like uair --> poof kill when there's a really small ceiling =p, but sometimes I really wish I had more strong KO options.

 

[Teczer0]

There's always fair?

=3

Upair poof is the best thing xD. I only was able to catch it once =/
