Acting as one of the few characters that actually stand a chance of winning a major in Super Smash. Bros Melee, Sheik can give newer players a lot of trouble with her potent tech chase follow ups, super fast aerials and easy auto-combos on low to mid level players. In order to help those who are struggling in the fight against this sneaky Sheikah, Kira from SSBM Tutorials has compiled an extensive guide on how to beat Sheik.
This video guide lists how to deal with Sheik’s main two approaches options, how to exploit her mediocre neutral and how to avoid and exploit those who like to sit back and charge needles all day. The main thing to take from this guide is players need to stay calm against Sheik and not panic whenever they get tech chase grabbed or have to deal with her shield pressure. Mashing buttons straight out of shield will get you punished nine times out of ten so learning how to combat her specific pressure strings will go a long way in defeating Sheik.
