Maybe more attention needs to be given to her upB as a kill move. It still has some invincibility frames I think so maybe it can catch them mid-grab or something for the kill.

So sad that Sheik's only real kill move, her fair, got nerfed so bad as far as knock-back. Lame.

Check out the hitbox on the f-tilt at 2:18 in video four.

Sheik is looking like she's all about comboing the bejesus out of people. Might have limited kill moves, but if she can combo people for 30-40% reliably off of a single hit... I can see some of the reasoning behind the tradeoff. Too early to tell, really.

Of course Ike is a bit heavy, which makes him nice combo material... though he also takes forever to die, which evens that out. Interesting match-up.

I'm digging the tilts though, week=combo. I don't see much kill moves though. I'm thinking of using sheik at the game stop tourny.

I guess if you have a staple of moves that you use a lot, then when going for the kill you've got to move away from these to others, to avoid stale moves affect.

If you save up-air for kills, I guess it would still be effective vs floaty characters. Shiek can still SH aerial pretty quick, so maybe if some b-airs connected at high % as you weren't using them very often? Perhaps some more smashes. Otherwise Shiek is going to have to go for some off stage drama edge-guarding.
