Sheik does a quick swipe in front of herself, semi-spiking the opponent with decent knockback. While noticeably weaker than its Melee counterpart, the move still serves as a decent edgeguarding move due to its semi-spike trajectory. The move is also fast along with it having low landing lag and a very lenient auto-cancel window; making it an overall safe move to use.
