Need opinions on my Snake*UPDATED APRIL 23*

I currently play with my friend who uses shiek as his main, We believe we play pretty good and wonder where our skill stands with others. Out of our group of friends(lucario, pit, link, me(snake), and him(Shiek) players),we are the best players, That's why i'm asking for an opinion on my Snake so I can further better my skill level.

*UPDATED APRIL 23RD*

Here's some videos(All Direct Feed Btw):
Rendo(Shiek) vs DarkDeath(Snake)

*NOTE*All the "old" videos are updated, It's time for the new videos to come soon.

General Notes:
-I don't try to do any type of air attacks because in comparison to shiek, She's faster in the air, So when i'm launched and he tries to attack me, I don't try to counter because I rather just safely land, Plus he knows I'll do Bair or Uair, So he already knows the counter.
-My way of using grenades is not to cook them but to use them as pressure and keeping the stage in my favor, if I cook it, he just shoots at me or just throws it back.
-At the edge, I mix it up with either UpSmash + grenade or the Nikita
-I only motorslide in certain situations, He always grabs me when I Dash attack and/or motorslide, I'm also still getting used to consistently doing motorslide without hitting him first with the dash attack.

Thanks for the feed back!

Will post more videos after I've uploaded them on youtube

I'll put more later, but I didn't see a lot of Mortar Sliding... after my next class I'll add something else.

you roll too much, and you dont use any aerials. obviously when youre both in the air you shuld just dodge down but when youre both on the ground you only have 3 moves: ftilt, dash attack and AAA. so put in some dairs and nairs. use uptilt to kill and use mortar after you hit with dash attack. throw him off the stage when youre close. snake owns at edgeguarding

nades arent good the way you use them. all you do is drop them on ground and run away, and sometimes throw a fresh one at shiek for 2%. if shiek was patient, needles would rip up your strat

btw tell rendo that shiek isnt the same as in melee

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm adjusting my snake to the suggestions.

Kin3tic: I try to use grenades, I usually use them so he can hit them or take advantage of that area rather than me cooking them and throwing them at him, I guess that's my way of using them.

Rigapen: I'll agree my rolling is a bit much, I'm slowly trying to get used to slightly moving my joystiq so I can turn around and walk rather than run and dash attack by accident. I do tend to try to use short hop Dair, but I usually get grabbed. Same with Nair. I'm trying to incorporate nair to a upthrow or a uptilt at low % though

Rendo is still getting used to Shieks system, but he's still effective nonetheless

more feedback please!

learn how to neo nade or whatever we're calling it now. basically shield drop one nade and throw it at him. if he picks it up and tries to throw it back, pull out and shield drop another nade. the 1st one you threw will stop in mid-air and just drop.

shield drop nade -> throw it -> opponent catches and tries to throwback -> shield drop another nade -> 1st nade just drops

Actually, I noticed that recently, when u throw a grenade and use another one, the other one drops. I'm actually practicing a system(My own personal system) for it right now which would prolly be in my future videos

Updated the first post btw, 2 more videos,, the next videos I make would be made after this thread started, since all the videos I'm posting were made before I made this thread, So differences in my gameplay will be visible

You're on the right track. You should definitely learn and use the no contact mortar slide. You should also use full hop nair. As a finisher you should definitely go for more up tilts. Up tilt pretty much pwns on all light characters, like sheik. You also tend to get shield grabbed a lot because you carry out your AAA and ftilt combos even after the first hit gets blocked. Overall though you look pretty good.
