I have gone to two tournaments so far and did abysmally the first time, and okay the second. However, I was taken out by sheik both times, can anyone help me figure out this match up?

DI patterns are pretty crucial in this matchup. Sheik can play like Melee and make jank combos. The obvious is Sheik's ftilt and also her dtilt. I've had success personally DIing up and away depending on if I can read her patterns or not. Try and find out what Sheik likes to follow up with if she starts a combo on you.

Uthrow > uair strings work vs Sheik and I believe Bair is also a REALLY good kill option against Sheik due to her recovery.
