I'm starting to learn how to play Sheik, and I'm trying to optimize my punish game.
Studying which percentages allow which followups from which actions seems like one of the best ways to optimize my punish game. Starting off, I'm trying to figure out when ftilt can combo into fair easily and when dash attack becomes a better techchasing tool than regrabs. Eventually I think I'll start to study when getting a tech read with up smash would get the best results, if there are any good followups from up throw at certain percents, and what on earth down smash is used for. I'll also probably plan on at least getting a feel for when certain attacks start to knock down, when they pop the opponent up for a combo, etc.
But it seems like getting into percents might be a really cumbersome task. Even the things I mentioned will take a decent amount of time to figure out, and some of them will definitely require not only gruntwork but a bit of problem solving. I know that if I do start to study percents, I probably won't use a guide or anything- I know for one that figuring it out on my own will help the information stick in my head better and will also feel rewarding.
So- is studying different followups from different percentages from different actions worth the time for Sheik? And are the things I'm currently focusing on good places to begin?
