| '''Sheik''' ({{ja|シーク|Shīku}}, ''Sheik'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Zelda}} and the rest of the returning roster. Sheik is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #16]].

Ultimate Official Site]]}} |
| | | '''Sheik''' ({{ja|シーク|Shīku}}, ''Sheik'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. |
| As with {{SSBU|Zelda}}, this is the first time in the series to not have Sheik voiced by Jun Mizusawa since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''; as a result of Zelda's ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds}}''-based recast, {{s|wikipedia|Ayumi Fujimura}} now also voices Sheik, continuing the trend from the former voicing both characters in the previous games.
| |
| | |
| Sheik is currently ranked 31st out of 82 characters placing her at the top of the B+ tier. This is a large drop from her top tier placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', where she was ranked 4th out of 54. Sheik's main strength is her unrivaled frame data, with most of her attacks coming out at no later than frame 4 or 5. They also have very little end lag, enabling maximum reliability for most of her moves and combos to connect and safety on shield. This frame data also grants her arguably the best [[neutral game]], a strong edgeguarding game, highly effective special attacks, and one of the best advantage states of any character. Complementing her neutral game is one of the best neutral specials in the game in [[Needle Storm]], which is useful not only for zoning, camping, or connecting combos, but also confirms into offstage KOs with [[Bouncing Fish]]. Furthermore, she boasts a powerful and flexible recovery, with [[Vanish]] and Bouncing Fish giving her extensive range and distance that can reliably bring her back to the stage, as well as being fast and reliable KO options.
| |
| | |
| However, Sheik has significant weaknesses, the most prominent being her poor endurance. She is the sixth lightest character in the game, and her high falling speed and gravity makes her prone to easy combos and early KOs. Her grab game is also below-average; while down throw is a reliable combo starter at low percents, its utility drops off quickly, with its KO confirms requiring Sheik to read the opponent's DI or else only working at very specific percentages. Furthermore, Sheik's otherwise amazing neutral and combo game is sometimes offset by the very low damage output from her attacks, so she must win neutral multiple times to be able to inflict the same amount of damage that many other fighters can rack up from a single interaction or combo. Finally, Sheik's KO ability is generally subpar; while the handful of KO options she does possess have quick frame data and are mostly safe on shield, they are burdened with either awkward hitboxes or the requirement of a platform extension or prior combo string. For example, down smash works as an [[out of shield]] option but is sometimes inconsistent and only KOs at much higher percents, while up smash is afflicted by a large sourspot, and it often requires a combo and/or platform extension to KO reliably. Another KO option, Bouncing Fish, has high end lag, so it is somewhat unreliable in neutral for a KO and often requires either a combo string, or an offstage kill setup. Finally, [[rage]] alleviates her subpar KO abilities to a considerable degree; however, she struggles to survive long enough to benefit from it, especially against heavyweights, who can possibly live up to very high percents and KO her with rage of their own.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Sheik is a character with powerful unique abilities and attributes. She has a somewhat high learning curve, so her combo and KO abilities depend on the player putting in consistent time and effort to perform effectively. The general consensus on her was mostly poor in the early metagame, with players particularly highlighting the excessive nerfs she received transitioning into Ultimate. However, significant buffs from patch updates have since put the character's perception in a better shape, especially during the post-pandemic metagame. The consensus right now is that she is a high effort-high reward character that is only viable after one has significantly mastered her capabilities. Sheik remains a viable character in the current metagame, proven by players such as {{Sm|WebbJP}}, {{Sm|Eim}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}}, and {{Sm|VoiD}}.

| | |
| ==How to unlock== | |
| Complete one of the following:
| |
| *Play [[VS. match]]es, with Sheik being the 47th character to be unlocked.
| |
| *Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the 5th character unlocked after {{SSBU|King Dedede}}.
| |
| *Have Sheik join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
| |
| With the exception of the third method, Sheik must then be defeated on [[Gerudo Valley]]. In World of Light, she is fought on {{SSBU|Final Destination}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Attributes==
| |
| Sheik is a character that, like a ninja of sorts, fits the "hit-and-run" character archetype. One of Sheik's greatest strengths is her overall mobility, being among the best in the game both grounded and aerial. She also has the 4th highest gravity, which makes her mobility better, but leaves her more vulnerable to horizontal knockback. Her crouch is also very low, making her difficult to hit when doing so. Sheik can also wall cling and crawl. However, she is the 6th-lightest character in the game, which when coupled with her gravity and tall height, these traits collectively make her very susceptible to combos and KO's, thus giving her very frail survivability overall.
| |
| | |
| Aside from her excellent mobility, another one of Sheik's greatest strengths is her extremely quick frame data. Easily one of if not the fastest in the game. With all of her moves with the exception of her down aerial and smash attacks coming out under 6 frames and all having very minimal ending lag, making her extremely difficult to punish properly; this is supplemented by the good range of her moveset. She also has an excellent projectile in [[Needle Storm]], with the needles charging and traveling fast, being long-ranged (covers about half of Final Destination), possessing transcendent priority, causing hitstun, and having overall low cool down (especially when used in the air or on landing). These traits collectively give Sheik a strong camping ability and as well as allowing for versatile follow-ups off of her needles.
| |
| | |
| Overall, the combination of Sheik's mobility, projectiles, range and frame data form her greatest strength: her outstanding neutral game. She can play both defensively, by pressuring and zoning from afar without much trouble, or aggressively, with her fast attack speed giving her an unpredictable approach. Sheik can poke and pressure her opponents with her aerials and tilts, all of which are safe options. If they choose to drop their shield, they are wide open to these attacks. At the same time, holding shield presents her with an opportunity to grab and use her throw set-ups.
| |
| | |
| Sheik's excellent frame data, combined with the low power of many of her moves, give her among the best combo abilities in the game. Her throws can easily lead to other attacks, with her forward and down throws being particularly effective at starting combos, as they can set up long chains of forward aerials, with her up aerial and Bouncing Fish being useful combo finishers. Her combos are not limited to her air game; all of her tilts can start and extend combos since they send opponents into the air, and can confirm into aerials; her forward tilt particularly has reliable follow-ups all the way into KO percents. Down tilt, while not chaining into itself as effectively, has even lower power, giving her access to KO confirms as well. | |
| | |
| All aspects of Sheik's moveset are solid overall. The majority of her aerial moves possess great versatility; forward aerial, in particular, has a fast startup, decent ending lag, auto-cancels in a short hop fast fall, and has slightly disjointed range, making it an all-purpose move: it can be used to approach, pressure, combo and set up edge-guards. Up aerial similarly possesses great utility: its looping hits can be used to drag down opponents to extend combos or lead into KOs depending on positioning, much like {{SSBU|Joker}}'s own up aerial. Additionally, it is her strongest aerial, and also launches opponents at a great angle for juggling, both of which give it good utility at both KOing and finishing combos. Her back aerial is also versatile to an extent, as it can be used to extend or finish combos as well. When sweet spotted (at the foot), it can KO at high percents near the ledge and is even safer on shield than her forward aerial. Lastly, neutral aerial is her fastest aerial, allowing her to break out of combos and extend or finish hers, notably into [[Bouncing Fish]].
| |
| | |
| Outside of [[Needle Storm]], Sheik's special moveset also possesses good utility. Her up special, [[Vanish]], grants her intangibility and invisibility, which collectively make it difficult for the opponent to predict where she will reappear. It also has a hitbox on disappearance that is moderately strong, and another one and a windbox when she reappears, making it difficult to punish. Meanwhile, Sheik's down special [[Bouncing Fish]], is famous for being her primary KO move, being similar to [[Flip Jump]] on some regards: it deals respectable damage with high knockback scaling, can finish combos from her neutral aerial, forward aerial, back aerial, and aerial Needle Storm, and is safe on shield when retreating. Sheik can perform consecutive stronger kicks after the first, although this sees almost no use in normal gameplay.
| |
| | |
| Both Vanish and Bouncing Fish also conform Sheik's last strength in her recovery, as they make it versatile and extendable, both of them can be used in tandem with each other, and they are difficult and risky to intercept, as they both deal high knockback enough to interrupt an edge-guard. Combined with her wall jump, this makes Sheik hard to edge-guard or gimp, without disabling her double jump, and enables her to reverse edge-guard effectively.
| |
| | |
| However, despite having immense strengths, Sheik has polarizing flaws. The most notable of them is her frailty: despite the fact that her recovery is amazing, in a similar vein to {{SSBU|Fox}}, her on-stage endurance is very weak due to her very lightweight (being lighter than characters such as {{SSBU|Kirby}}), succumbing to even decently strong blows, whereas her above average height, high falling speed and gravity make her easy to combo. This is further compounded by her notoriously poor damage output overall: despite her strong damage racking ability, she requires extremely long strings of attacks just to do the same amount of damage that the vast majority of the cast can inflict in noticeably far fewer hits, making her arguably the weakest fighter in the game in terms of general damage and knockback in her moveset.
| |
| | |
| While the low damage and power on her moves grant her an extensive combo game, Sheik also struggles to securely score KOs due to her handful of KO options and each of them being difficult to land precisely. Her up smash has a powerful first hit on her arms as she raises them, but it is difficult to land outside of a read or confirm, is hampered by its much weaker second hit as she lowers her arms and is very punishable if missed, her forward and down smash are among the weakest smash attacks of their kind, and they have punishable ending lag as well, while Vanish's disappearing hitbox is hard to land. In the air, she is limited to using her up aerial, back aerial, or Bouncing Fish to KO, and even then, the former two require to be used close to the blast lines due to their relatively weak knockback, whereas the latter is susceptible to DI and is predictable without a setup on top of KOing considerably later center-stage compared to the edge, making her often reliant on dragging her opponent close to the blast zone in order to secure a KO.
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, Sheik's aerial KO setups are difficult to pull off due to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s faster pace and launch physics, re-addition of directional air dodges, and the weakening of her neutral and back aerials' respective combo potentials. Her other aerials are otherwise only useful for edge-guarding and gimping characters with particularly weak or linear recoveries due to their abysmal KO power or sacrificial use. Sheik's grab game is also below-average overall: she lacks throws that can KO at realistic percents, and while her aforementioned forward and down throws are useful combo starters, they have too much knockback for truly reliable KO set-ups.
| |
| | |
| With all of these weaknesses working against her, it is not uncommon for Sheik's opponents to survive in excess of 150%. When combined with her frailty, she is notoriously vulnerable to comebacks, even against fighters with generally mediocre KO potentials. Lastly, the rage mechanic hinders Sheik: without rage, she often has trouble KO'ing, though as her rage increases, her combo game slowly dwindles, which when combined with her poor damage output, can make bringing an opponent to KO percents difficult. Additionally, this brings opponents to a high level of rage enough to KO Sheik herself.
| |
| | |
| Other weaknesses include a few moves that have very low utility, despite Sheik's moveset versatility. These include her down aerial, which is her overall slowest aerial, has the highest landing lag and is a stall-then-fall, giving it the lowest utility of Sheik's aerial moveset despite it meteor smashing an opponent. Her dash attack, although very quick, is unsafe on shield due to its inability to cross-up and does not KO at realistic percents. Her up throw similarly does not KO at realistic percents and is her least useful throw, as it lacks the utility her other throws have. Sheik's smash attacks are unsafe and difficult to land overall, although they are fast enough to work as combo finishers. Lastly, [[Burst Grenade]] is powerful but has a slow explosion, which limits it to situational usage on edge-guarding predictable recoveries, extending the damage of a hard punish, or a situational mix-up to deter edge-guarders.
| |
| | |
| Altogether, Sheik's strengths slightly outweigh her weaknesses. While she has an outstanding neutral game owing to her excellent frame data and mobility, she often has to play a very long game due to her slow damage output. At that point, Sheik has to play an entirely different playstyle and try to look for openings to land her KO confirms. Nevertheless, Sheik's strengths and the myriad of buffs she received from game updates have resulted in many top players having an overall positive view on her viability, especially compared to the early meta when she was commonly considered a low-tier character.

|
| ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | | ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== |
| Sheik was considered one of the most potent characters in ''SSB4'' (and the best character in the middle of the game's lifetime), due to her nearly uncontested [[neutral game]]; despite receiving the most nerfs from game updates that did affect her effectiveness, she remained a top tier character. Possibly as a result, while Sheik has received a large mix of buffs and nerfs, the latter is more prevalent since they have worsened her strengths while amplifying her weaknesses from the previous game. Thus, Sheik has been greatly nerfed overall in her transition to ''Ultimate''.
| | {{notice|[[SmashWiki is not speculative]]. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.}} |
| | |
| Sheik's most notable nerfs are to her already weak damage output and her poor survivability. Her main combo moves like her [[tilt]]s and neutral and forward aerials (most notably the latter), in addition to Needle Storm and Bouncing Fish, all deal less damage. This gives Sheik a notoriously harder time racking up damage, requiring her to string much more hits just to deal any noticeable damage; this is exacerbated by her lack of KO ability. Although the weakening of [[rage]] has slightly improved her endurance and, most importantly, her combo consistency, this is counterbalanced by her lower weight, now being even lighter than small characters such as {{SSBU|Kirby}} and {{SSBU|Pikachu}} while also worsening her already lackluster KO potential. As a result, Sheik is unable to take significant advantage of rage, much like in ''SSB4''.
| |
| | |
| The universal changes to the game's engine have both benefitted and hindered Sheik, but have hurt her overall. The game's faster launch physics, changes to jostling mechanics (which prevent cross-ups and instead pushes characters away), and the reintroduction of directional air dodges worsen many of Sheik's combo strings and KO set-ups. Furthermore, the prevalence of the newly introduced 0.85x [[short hop]] multiplier on aerial attacks means Sheik doesn't benefit as much from the new [[1v1 multiplier]] as the rest of the cast, due to her semi-reliance on aerials done out of a short hop; combined with the lower damage on her combo moves, this further exacerbates her worsened damage racking ability. While Sheik does benefit from the universally faster [[jump]]squats, mobility and lower [[landing lag]] like the rest of the cast, she already had highly impressive mobility and the overall fastest frame data in ''SSB4'', which causes the rest of the cast to benefit more than her from their buffs in those aspects, allowing them to keep up with her.
| |
| | |
| However, Sheik has received some useful buffs besides the universal changes. Her [[dash|running speed]] has increased even further, now being the 4th fastest among the cast. Her [[neutral infinite]] connects more reliably and has less ending lag, making it more consistent for damage racking despite its individual hits dealing less damage. Her up tilt, down tilt and Needle Storm (especially the aerial version) also have less ending lag, improving their combo potential.
| |
| | |
| Sheik's generally least useful moves in ''SSB4'', such as her dash attack, down smash, down aerial and up throw, each deal more damage and/or knockback. Her smash attacks as a whole have also been buffed, with forward smash and down smash's hits connecting more reliably, and up smash's first hit having more power and slightly more range. [[Burst Grenade]] has less ending lag and no longer causes [[helpless]]ness, while [[Vanish]] grants more intangibility when used on the ground. Sheik has a new [[pummel]] that has gone from one of the slowest to one of the fastest, allowing it to be used more safely and rack up more damage. Finally, and most notably, her [[back aerial]] now deals more damage and knockback, improving its previously lacking KO potential when sweetspotted (though it still remains relatively weak).
| |
| | |
| In the end, Sheik's nerfs noticeably outweigh her buffs, as the former have both worsened her key strengths and exacerbated her main flaws, while the latter was not significant enough to compensate despite giving her more consistent options. Game updates have been generally kind to Sheik, giving her some miscellaneous buffs and fixing a few inconsistencies with her moveset; general optimizations to her playstyle have also proven benefitial. Nevertheless, Sheik performs worse than her ''SSB4'' iteration, and is one of the most nerfed characters in the transition to ''Ultimate''.

| {{SSB4 to SSBU changelist|char=Sheik}}
| |
| | |
| ==Update history==
| |
| Sheik was buffed via game updates. Beginning with update 2.0.0, she received a few quality of life buffs. The hitbox of up smash's first hit was enlarged, allowing it to catch landings better and hit a larger number of tall and/or large characters when they are standing right next to Sheik. Down smash's first hit received an additional hitbox in order to improve its consistency. Forward aerial's edge lockout duration was decreased significantly, which made it much safer to use while off-stage. Up aerial auto-cancels earlier, which made it slightly better for drag down combos. Lastly, [[Burst Grenade]]'s ending lag was decreased, which made it slightly safer as an edge-guarding option.
| |
| | |
| Update 3.0.0 brought a few buffs as well, three of which were noteworthy. Firstly, down tilt's sourspots were shrunken and repositioned, which made the sweetspot easier to land and thus improved the move's combo potential. Secondly, forward aerial became more reliable at hitting small fighters, thanks to its hitboxes being repositioned. Lastly, [[Needle Storm]] reaches its full [[charge]] noticeably faster. Aside from these these buffs, neutral infinite became slightly safer via its finisher's ending lag being decreased.
| |
| | |
| Update 7.0.0 further buffed Sheik in a number of ways, most notably in regard to Needle Storm and Burst Grenade. Needle Storm has less landing lag, improving its safety and combo potential. Burst Grenade's ending lag was decreased even further, its explosion has more active frames, and it can no longer be canceled out by attacks; altogether, these buffs addressed the move's primary flaws that have plagued it since ''SSB4''.
| |
| | |
| In addition, a handful of Sheik's underwhelming moves were also improved to varying degrees. Down smash's overall lag was decreased and its hits connect even better than before. [[Vanish]]'s disappearing hitbox KOs noticeably earlier, thanks to its knockback being increased. Standing grab's range was increased, which mildly restored one of her former out of shield options. Lastly, Sheik's shield was enlarged as part of a near-universal buff.
| |
| | |
| Following this, update 8.0.0 improved forward smash's consistency by adjusting its first hit's launching angles and knockback, as well as increasing the range of its second hit. Lastly, update 9.0.0 followed a similar format in regard to up tilt by increasing its first hit's hitstun in order to ensure it connects into its second hit, even against sufficiently fast combo breakers.
| |
| | |
| Overall, Sheik fares better than she did at the launch of ''Ultimate''.

| |
| |neutraldesc=An inward {{iw|wikipedia|knifehand strike}}, followed by an upward knifehand strike. When button mashed, Sheik performs a barrage of knifehand strikes followed by a palm thrust. It has very minimal start-up (frame 2) and, despite having a very meager overall damage output, it is nevertheless decent for damage racking, especially if the opponent fails to [[SDI]].
| |
| |ftiltname=Cycle Kick ({{ja|円弧|Enko}}, ''Circular Arc'')
| |
| |ftiltdmg=3%
| |
| |ftiltdesc=A roundhouse kick. Deals very poor damage, but its minimal start-up (frame 5) and ending lag (FAF 25) compensates for this. As a result, it boasts excellent combo potential from low to high percentages, including an up aerial at high percentages for a potential KO confirm.
| |
| |utiltname=Spindle Tree ({{ja|真弓|Mayumi}})
| |
| |utiltdmg=3% (hit 1), 4% (hit 2)
| |
| |utiltdesc=A stretch kick followed by an axe kick. The first hit is hard to land on grounded opponents. Like forward tilt, its low damage output is compensated by its minimal start-up (frame 5) and decent ending lag (FAF 33). As a result, it is a respectable combo option.
| |
| |dtiltname=Whirlwind ({{ja|旋風|Tsumuji}})
| |
| |dtiltdmg=4.5%
| |
| |dtiltdesc=A legsweep. Sheik's foot has a hitbox that launches the opponent at 90°, whereas the rest of her leg launches at 45°. The sweetspot combos into forward tilt, neutral/forward/up/back aerials, and up smash, the latter of which is a KO confirm (albeit one that requires strict timing) at around 90%. The sourspots, however, have significantly less combo potential in comparison. Although update 3.0.0 shrunk and repositioned the leg hitboxes in order to make the foot hitbox easier to land, proper spacing is nevertheless pivotal in order to use down tilt to its fullest.
| |
| |dashname=Gale ({{ja|疾風|Shippū}})
| |
| |dashdmg=7% (clean), 5% (late)
| |
| |dashdesc=Lunges to perform outward fanning knifehand strikes with both hands. While situational, its minimal start-up (frame 5) and decent base knockback make it serviceable at punishing or catching landings.
| |
| |fsmashname=Twin Snake ({{ja|双蛇|Sōja}})
| |
| |fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8}} (hit 2)
| |
| |fsmashdesc=A roundhouse kick followed by a jumping spinning sidekick. Both attacks cause Sheik to move forward. One of Sheik's best KOing options, although its power compared to other forward smashes is below-average. Crosses up shields if performed close enough.
| |
| |usmashname=Razor Wing ({{ja|割符|Warifu}}, ''Split Mark'')
| |
| |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11}} (hit 2)
| |
| |usmashdesc=Raises her arms overhead and then quickly swings them downward to perform outward fanning knifehand strikes. There is a hitbox at Sheik's hands, just before she swings down her arms, that hits opponents above her. If performed close enough to a tall character, it is possible to land both hits of the move, but this is difficult to achieve. When sweetspotted, it is Sheik's strongest move overall and one of her best KOing options. However, it has high ending lag and the second hit fails to KO at reasonable percentages.
| |
| |dsmashname=Windmill ({{ja|大車輪|Daisharin}}, ''Large Wheel'')
| |
| |dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|6}} (hit 2)
| |
| |dsmashdesc=A modified butterfly kick performed from the {{iw|wikipedia|windmill|b-boy move}} (a breakdancing move). Despite having a slightly below-average overall damage output for a smash attack, it is very unreliable for KOing due to its second hit's meager damage output. As of update 7.0.0, it has respectable start-up (frame 8) for a smash attack, which makes it decent at punishing rolls and setting up edge-guards.
| |
| |nairname=Falling Leaves ({{ja|落葉|Rakuyō}})
| |
| |nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (clean sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (clean sourspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (late sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (late sour spot)
| |
| |nairdesc=A flying kick. It has very minimal start-up (frame 3) and [[sex kick]] properties, which collectively make it a great combo breaker and out of shield option. It is also useful for edge-guarding due to its somewhat powerful sweetspot and its long-lasting sourspot. The late hitbox, upon landing onstage, also combos into Bouncing Fish at around 100% for a KO confirm. Auto-cancels in a short hop, but requires strict timing to do so.
| |
| |fairname=Hatchet ({{ja|鉈|Hata}})
| |
| |fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4.5}} (sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3.8}} (sourspot)
| |
| |fairdesc=A lunging, downward arcing knifehand strike. Its sweetspot is located on Sheik's arm, while the sourspot is on her body. It comes out on frame 5 with minimal ending lag. Low base knockback, but very high knockback scaling. Combos into itself and other moves exceptionally well, including Bouncing Fish which can lead to a KO. Safe on shield if properly spaced. Has a very generous auto-cancel window, being able to do so after 11 frames.
| |
| |bairname=Flying Swallow ({{ja|飛燕|Hien}})
| |
| |bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9.5}} (clean sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.5}} (clean sourspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (late)
| |
| |bairdesc=A side kick. While its power is slightly below-average for a back aerial, it can easily gimp characters with lackluster recoveries or KO outright while offstage starting at around 90%. Like up aerial, it hits on frame 4, making it one of the fastest moves of its kind in the game. Auto-cancels in a short hop.
| |
| |uairname=Drill ({{ja|錐|Kiri}})
| |
| |uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1}} (hits 1-3), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 4)
| |
| |uairdesc=An upward corkscrew flying kick followed by a thrust kick with the opposite leg. KOs reliably near the top blast zone, and can be set up into by forward tilt or down tilt, though this requires precise timing and doesn't KO until around 120%. It can be used after a forward tilt to drag the opponent down and lead into another forward tilt. Like back aerial, it hits on frame 4, making it one of the fastest moves of its kind in the game. It does not auto-cancel in a short hop.

| |dairdesc=A downward flying kick. It is a [[stall-then-fall]], and its clean hitbox is a [[meteor smash]] during its beginning frames. One of Sheik's least useful and most situational moves, as its lag makes it very punishable, and trying to use it offstage will most likely result in an instant self-destruct.
| |
| |grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
| |
| |grabdesc=Reaches out. Sheik has one of the shortest overall grab ranges among the cast.
| |
| |pummelname=Knee Strike ({{ja|膝打|Hizada}})
| |
| |pummeldmg=1%
| |
| |pummeldesc=A knee strike. Fast but weak.
| |
| |fthrowname=Shoulder Strike ({{ja|肩打|Katada}})
| |
| |fthrowdmg=5% (hit), 2% (throw)
| |
| |fthrowdesc=Performs the tie shan kao{{ref|a}} (a technique used in {{iw|wikipedia|Bajiquan}}). Combos into aerials and Bouncing Fish at low percents. Can combo into Bouncing Fish at higher percents, though this is easily avoidable with an air dodge. However, this can be conditioned and punished with Sheik's extremely fast mobility and frame data.
| |
| |bthrowname=Heel Strike ({{ja|踵打|Kakotoda}})
| |
| |bthrowdmg=5% (hit), 2% (throw)
| |
| |bthrowdesc=Throws the opponent behind herself and then performs a mid-level side kick. It can potentially combo into neutral, forward, and back aerials at low percentages. It can also combo into Bouncing Fish at medium to high percentages, which has respectable KO potential while near the edge. However, this combo is risky, as it is heavily dependent on DI.
| |
| |uthrowname=Handstand Strike ({{ja|倒立打|Tōritsuda}})
| |
| |uthrowdmg=3% (hit and throw)
| |
| |uthrowdesc=Heaves the opponent up and then performs a handstand kick. It is one Sheik's least useful moves in general, due to its consistency as a read-dependent set-up into Vanish being worsened significantly since ''SSB4'', as well as its meager damage output and inability to KO at reasonable percentages (it fails to KO middleweights until around 288% on Final Destination).
| |
| |dthrowname=Guillotine ({{ja|断頭|Dantōda}})
| |
| |dthrowdmg=3% (hit and throw)
| |
| |dthrowdesc=A collar drag takedown followed by a somersault axe kick. It can combo into neutral and forward aerials at low percents, and up aerial at low to medium percents.
| |
| |floorfname=
| |
| |floorfdmg=7%
| |
| |floorfdesc=A {{iw|wikipedia|kip-up}} transitioned into a double-footed {{iw|wikipedia|scorpion kick}}.
| |
| |floorbname=
| |
| |floorbdmg=7%
| |
| |floorbdesc=Kneels and performs a palm thrust in front of herself and then behind herself.
| |
| |floortname=
| |
| |floortdmg=5%
| |
| |floortdesc=Squats on one leg and performs a roundhouse kick.
| |
| |edgename=
| |
| |edgedmg=9%
| |
| |edgedesc=A corkscrew {{iw|wikipedia|dropkick}}.
| |
| |nsname=Needle Storm
| |
| |nsdmg=1.5% (per needle, close), 0.8% (per needle, far)
| |
| |nsdesc=Accumulates up to six needles that can be thrown immediately or stored for later use. When used in the air, Sheik throws the needles downward at approximately 30° angle. One of Sheik's best options for [[camping]] and zoning. The needles have [[transcendent priority]], and thus cannot stop or be stopped by other attacks (including, for example, other projectiles).
| |
| |ssname=Burst Grenade
| |
| |ssdmg= 1% (grenade), 1% (vortex), 12.6% (explosion)
| |
| |ssdesc=Throws a grenade attached to a {{iw|wikipedia|tripwire}}. On detonation, the grenade creates a small vortex that [[pull]]s opponents towards it, then explodes. The detonation can be delayed a second by holding the special move button. The grenade can be thrown farther when used in the air or when thrown over an edge. The explosion is strong enough to KO middleweights at 115% near the edge, making it useful for edge-guarding. If Sheik is attacked before the grenade explodes, the grenade will detach from the tripwire and become a non-[[explosive]] [[item]] that anyone can use.
| |
| |usname=Vanish
| |
| |usdmg=12% (disappearance), 5% (reappearance)
| |
| |usdesc=After a short delay, Sheik destroys a {{iw|zeldawiki|Deku Nut}} in order to disappear via a small explosion before reappearing nearby in a controlled direction. Its disappearing hitbox's respectable damage output and very high knockback scaling enable it to KO at 100% while near the upper blast line. It also grants a small vertical boost when used in the air. Conversely, its reappearance hitbox deals much less damage, but also has a windbox that can [[push]] away opponents who are very close to wherever Sheik reappears. It grants intangibility on frames 19-53. Reappearing near an edge renders her helpless, though [[self-destruct]]ing with the move is difficult to do because it allows Sheik to grab the edge the moment she enters helplessness.
| |
| |dsname=Bouncing Fish
| |
| |dsdmg=11% (first kick), 13% (subsequent kicks)
| |
| |dsdesc=A 360° Tengkong Pantui Cepu{{ref|b}} (a kick used in Nanquan). If it connects with an opponent, she will backflip a distance away and land on her feet. She can then perform subsequent kicks up to three times by pressing the special move button again after the preceding kick connects. Upon missing, she experiences landing lag if she lands before the move's animation is over. It can also be executed earlier by pressing the special button again and covers more distance if the control stick is held in whatever direction Sheik is facing. Its long horizontal travel distance, respectable damage output, and high knockback scaling make it one of Sheik's most viable KOing options. It KOs middleweights at 120% while near the edge. Due to its earliest input hitting on frame 18 and its noticeable landing lag, however, it is punishable if it misses.
| |
| |fsname=Sheikah Dance
| |
| |fsdmg=1% (dashing hit), 2% (first hit), 3% (hits 1, 2, 4-6, 8-10, 12, 13), 2% (hits 3, 7, 11, 14), 12% (final)
| |
| |fsdesc=Sheik dashes forward and slashes with her knife. If she catches anyone, the [[zeldawiki:Eye Symbol|Sheikah eye symbol]] will appear onscreen, and the screen will darken. She will then proceed to launch an onslaught of punches, kicks and slashes from multiple directions before finally launching the trapped opponent with an upward slash. The last hit launches opponents in the opposite direction of the initial dash. Only one opponent can be trapped, although bystanders will also take damage during Sheikah Dance.

| | *{{nerf|[[Forward throw]] and [[down throw]] deal slightly more knockback, reducing their combo potential.}} |
| *{{Sm|VoiD|USA}} - The best Sheik player in the early metagame, where he played the character alongside {{SSBU|Pichu}}, placing 5th at {{Trn|Mainstage}} and 9th at {{Trn|Glitch 7 - Minus World}}. He was also the first Sheik player ranked on a global ranking, ranking 38th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]]. Although less active in the current metagame, he has still seen some strong performances, including upsetting {{Sm|Sparg0}} at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}.
| |

| |
|
| |
|
| ===Tier placement and history=== | | ===Special Moves=== |
| During ''Ultimate''{{'}}s early metagame, Sheik's representation was almost nonexistent due to the significance of her nerfs. With the reduction of her overall damage output, Sheik became notorious for having long combos that only amounted to the equivalent of 2-3 stray hits that the opponents dealt. As a result, much of her playerbase dropped her entirely due to the perception that she was a high effort, low reward character, and she was regularly considered a mid-to-low tier by the community.
| | *[[Needle Storm]]: |
| | | **{{nerf|Needle Storm charges slower, and the charge can no longer be immediately canceled.}} |
| Updates granted Sheik several useful buffs that improved her best moves. Furthermore, some of Sheik's former players -- most notably {{Sm|VoiD}} and {{Sm|Mr.R}} -- began picking her up again and showcased how Sheik's neutral game and advantage state, while not as prevalent as in the previous game, were still rather strong. This led many to consider Sheik as underrated in the metagame, and this is most apparent in Japan, who believed Sheik was a top tier character; this resulted in Japan having several notable Sheik players place highly at tournaments, most notably {{Sm|Eim}}. Sheik players would adapt to the changing meta and discover very potent and consistent setups and kill confirms with her, as well as using her overall moveset more effectively to take stocks and overwhelm opponents. Her improving results and increasing representation helped shift opinions on her viability. Sheik was ranked 35th on the first tier list, with Japan notably ranking Sheik 10 places higher. Still, some players believed the character should have been ranked higher due to her ability to overwhelm opponents, as well as the rise of many other Sheik players such as {{Sm|WebbJP}}. As it stands, Sheik is now ranked 31st on the second and current tier list at the top of the B+ tier; although, many players continue to argue that she should be ranked higher.
| | **{{buff|Aerial Needle Storm has less end lag, allowing for potential followups.}} |
| | | *[[Burst Grenade]]: |

| | **{{buff|Burst Grenade no longer leaves Sheik [[helpless]] when used in the air.}} |

| *''Ultimate'' is the first ''Smash'' game where Sheik's design is based on a different ''The Legend of Zelda'' game than her alter-ego, {{SSBU|Zelda}}. | | *''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' marks the first time in any video game where Sheik is shown using her dagger. |
| **''Ultimate'' is also the first installment in the series that gives Sheik a [[Final Smash]] different from Zelda's.
| | **Ironically, she no longer appears to have the dagger on her person like in previous iterations. |
| *Sheik is the only ''The Legend of Zelda'' character:
| | **It is also the first time she has a different Final Smash from her alter-ego, {{SSBU|Zelda}}. |
| **Who doesn't fight characters from her own series in her Classic Mode route.
| |
| **Who does not travel to her home stages in her Classic Mode route. | |
| **Who doesn't appear on the [[:File:SSBU Key Art.png|full group artwork version of the box cover]]. | |
| *Sheik is the only ''The Legend of Zelda'' character who debuted in ''Melee'' that is not unlocked in the [[Sacred Land]] sub-area in [[World of Light]] and, by extension, is not controlled by [[Galeem]].
| |
| *In English, Sheik and {{SSBU|Joker}} are the only characters whose Classic Mode titles are each one word.
| |
| **Coincidentally, both Sheik and Joker have similar playstyles (fast characters with weak, damage-racking attacks).
| |
| *Like in the previous installment, Sheik will revert to her ''Brawl'' idle animation while holding a small throwable item.
| |
| **Sheik briefly also does her ''Brawl'' idle animation after doing an attack.
| |
| *In Palutena's Guidance, Sheik is referred to in the sense of having been present before in ''Smash'' ("Sheik appears to be wearing a traditional Sheikah outfit this time around."), despite every other newly recorded ''The Legend of Zelda'' character guidance bringing up the characters having separate incarnations throughout the franchise (Ganondorf being the same person, Link being a different person than before, and Zelda and Young Link being specific incarnations). This implies that she's the same version of Zelda/Sheik seen in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', in which her design was created for ''Brawl'' as a hypothetical transformation of the ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation of Zelda.
