I don't know how you keep calling him your friend he's a jerk lmao

So...What's Sheik's general matchup spread?

high mid tier with a niche good MU vs lloyd which has caused her to see much use recently.

Also Marth and MK. In general, a great secondary because she's excellent against swordsmen and Naruto.

Why does Sheik's dash attack beat everything??

It does?

It feels like it...

Not sure if this is already known tech, but I found a way to hold a 5/6 needle charge for the aerial needle storm, while being able to throw single needles on the ground.

This tech allows you to throw out needles on the ground while having a 5/6 aerial needle storm. You can also preform this tech in reverse allowing you to throw single needles in the air and have a 5/6th charged needle storm on the ground.

Step 1: charge 5/6 needle shakes on the ground and throw them out immediately (you do not need to throw them out immediately to preform the reverse tech, instead shield after 5 shakes and throw them in the air first.)

Step 2: now at any point in the match you can jump into the air and press the special button twice quickly to throw out the charged needle storm while in the air. ( for the reverse tech you can use the needle storm at any time on the ground for a near/fully charged needle storm)

Note that you can throw grounded needles while you still have the charged aerial needle storm. this allows for good spacing and being able to surprise your opponent. you could also shield to keep the initial 5/6 needle storm at the start to have the double charged needle storm for later usage when combined with the aerial one.

This tech has extremely weird properties where sometimes if you fail to preform the tech (which is hard since the tech is rather easy to preform) you are unable to redo it at anytime in the match. Sorry if the instructions were unclear im not very good at explaining tech.
P.S you can also do a double 5/6 charged ground needle storm by using the initial 5/6 needle storm and then by jumping up and pressing special twice right when you hit the ground to preform a 2nd charged ground needle storm. The timing on this one is rather tricky and takes practice. EDIT: if you preform the double grounded needle storm you can not preform this tech again in the match, its still a very good option but can only be done once per match. the rest can be done multiple times if preformed correctly.

Here is a display of the basic tech http://gfycat.com/HappyEnlightenedCalf

uhhh

If you do the needle thing for long enough, you can get double charged needles in one jump

I recently learned you can do single needles on the ground to charge up your aerial needle storm. this means you dont have to charge the whole 5/6th ground needle storm at one time, its pretty helpful. this also works in reverse, which makes it really usefull since you can space with single aerial needles and then use a full charged needle storm on the ground.

I recently started playing a lot of Sheik and may pick her up as a secondary.

A few questions though.

I realized that her FTilt can be spammed when up close to you opponent and can create a near infinite combo if you can change directions fast enough. How viable is this in competitive play and can it be easily countered?

Also, in Smash 4, when using Sheiks Up-b while DIing left if you quickly swing your stick right she will go right instead. This can trick an opponent in order to get better position or to avoid them from catching you in the air. This seems much harder in SFF2. How many frames do you have in SFF2 to do this?

It's good for combo'ing all the characters and can lead into other moves. If the opponent doesn't D.I. or D.I.'s in than it can lead into a sweet spotted up smash.

Hmmm I am not to sure about that.

If you DI ftilt out it doesn't link into another one, provided you were sufficiently far away from Sheik.

I get nervous af fighting this guy lol

Eh..... I don't have the strength to deal with this.
