No problem. I've spent apparently ~230ish matches with Sheik online now it seems, about half with friends/people from AllIsBrawl and the other half on For Glory 1v1. Really starting to feel like I have control over the common MUs and starting to kill super early with Sheik (Fair to Fish is seriously amazing, learn when to hit B early and when not to) and her combination of insane mixups and the ability to easily condition people with Needles. Strategic use of Vanish is highly underrated; I've run offstage only to do a Vanish to edge, when I know opponent can only make it to ledge, to either hit then with the explosion hitbox or to trump them off the ledge for free Bairs. Done it numerous times on stage too after conditioning people... Hell, I've even decided while landing on stage to use it. Such a crazy ridiculously buff move now. I've started to be able to work in Grenade finally too. Sheik has arguably zero bad moves and it's amazing. Dash backwards, reverse down-b? Legit. Dash to pivot fsmash? Legit too. Ftilt ftilt ftilt chase with fair, do it a few times, mix up to Fish after a few times, so fun to condition the hell out of people with her. Find yourself on ledge? Decent option if you haven't shown it before is tapping back to get off ledge but not fast fall, instantly hit Vanish, and recover on stage with it. Hitbox+windbox on end is seriously dumb and unnecessary. I could talk about new Sheik for days, man. So so so happy with all the changes.
All this Smash 4 Sheik play has even worked its way into my Melee/PM game, mostly with Vanish. Random Vanishes as mixups completely wrecking my locals. One guy noticed it the other day so I might have to start holding back a bit to not let people get a complete read on me, heh
