Sheik's excellent frame data, combined with the low power of many of her moves, give her among the best combo abilities in the game. At the same time, holding shield presents her with an opportunity to grab and use her throw set-ups. If they choose to drop their shield, they are wide open to these attacks. Sheik can poke and pressure her opponents with her aerials and tilts, all of which are safe options.
She can play both defensively, by pressuring and zoning from afar without much trouble, or aggressively, with her fast attack speed giving her an unpredictable approach. Overall, the combination of Sheik's mobility, projectiles, range and frame data form her greatest strength: her outstanding neutral game. These traits collectively give Sheik a strong camping ability and as well as allowing for versatile follow-ups off of her needles. She also has an excellent projectile in Needle Storm, with the needles charging and traveling fast, being long-ranged (covers about half of Final Destination), possessing transcendent priority, causing hitstun, and having overall low cool down (especially when used in the air or on landing). Her moves have generally negligible amounts of startup or ending lag, making her extremely difficult to punish properly this is supplemented by the good range of her moveset. However, she is the 6th-lightest character in the game, which when coupled with her gravity and tall height, these traits collectively make her very susceptible to combos and KO's, thus giving her very frail survivability overall.Īside from her excellent mobility, another one of Sheik's greatest strengths is her extremely quick frame data. Her crouch is also very low, making her difficult to hit when doing so. She also has the 4th highest gravity, which makes her mobility better, but leaves her more vulnerable to horizontal knockback. One of Sheik's greatest strengths is her overall mobility, being among the best in the game both grounded and aerial.
