Overview

A typical sex kick. With its extremely fast 3 frame startup, it is Sheik's go-to option for counterattacking out of shield, and its very long duration makes it a strong option for using as a lingering hitbox offstage for edgeguarding and gimps. It also has low end-lag, and is a very safe option on shield when SHFFLd, although it is more difficult to execute than with most other characters. The initial hitbox has fairly high knockback and can sometimes combo into Sheik's other aerials and her dash attack, although it tends to be less effective as a KO move than her Forward Air, Up Air, and Back Air. A versatile move that works well as an air-to-air, edgeguarding tool and out of shield option.
