It involves Sheik pulling out a long metal chain and whipping it around. | It involves Sheik pulling out a long metal chain and whipping it around. | ||
When Sheik pulls out the chain, the player has full analog control over it. The player can whip it in all directions - above and even behind Sheik's head. When a foe makes contact with the middle of the chain, they are slightly damaged. However, when the foe makes contact with the tip of the chain, they are given a small electric shock. It can be used to block solid projectiles like [[Link]] or [[Samus]]'s bombs. | When Sheik pulls out the chain, the player has full analog control over it.

In ''Brawl'', the chain can act as a [[tether recovery]], although inexperienced players randomly whipping the chain around can cause Sheik to immediately let go once tethered. | ||
Due to the move's poor damage and lag, Chain is almost never used in competitive play. However, it is possible for the move to be used to stun opponents for extended periods of time, dealing significant damage to the opponent. [[Mew2King]] is known for performing this on opponents on the ledge, often resulting in the opponent losing a stock.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R57wKOKR0so</ref> | Due to the move's poor damage and lag, Chain is almost never used in competitive play.

*In the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-71Dh6vLj8 E3 2001 pre-release trailer] of ''Melee'', the Chain looked and felt as though it was fast, responsive, and weighted at the end. This suggests that it originally had very different physics than what was implemented in the final build of the game. | *In the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-71Dh6vLj8 E3 2001 pre-release trailer] of ''Melee'', the Chain looked and felt as though it was fast, responsive, and weighted at the end.
