However, Sheik's overwhelming dominance took a blow with patches [[1.1.4]] and [[1.1.5]], which removed her most reliable KO set-ups, worsened her survivability, and weakened her camping ability. As a result, her most notable player, ZeRo, eventually dropped her, and others such as K9sbruce have been using secondaries more often. Despite her heavy nerfs, Sheik's neutral, combo, and offstage games are still among the best, allowing her to continue to gain strong results from players like VoiD and Mr.R and remain a top-tier character, placing at 3rd and 4th on the second and third version of the tier list respectively and remaining on the S tier. | However, Sheik's overwhelming dominance took a blow with patches [[1.1.4]] and [[1.1.5]], which removed her most reliable KO set-ups, worsened her survivability, and weakened her camping ability.

Currently, Sheik is ranked as 4th on the fourth tier list, but has since then dropped to the A tier due to her results being worse than the characters ranked higher than her, although they still remain strong with many top players still having high opinions over Sheik as {{Sm|VoiD}} won Smash 'N' Splash 4 defeating top players {{Sm|Mistake}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Light}} and {{Sm|Salem}} marking the first time Sheik won a major since patch [[1.1.5]], {{Sm|Mr.R}} getting 2nd at Hyrule Saga defetaing top players {{Sm|DSS}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|ANTi}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}} before losing to {{Sm|Tweek}}, 1-3, and {{Sm|Nietono}} getting 3rd at EVO 2018 defeating top players {{Sm|Charlie}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|falln}}, {{Sm|Choco}}, {{Sm|Mr E}}, and {{Sm|Mistake}} before losing to {{Sm|Captain Zack}} 0-3 (Although he used Diddy Kong to beat Choco and Mr E). These recent spike of results have been rare for Sheik as she hardly ever achieved these results after the nerfs. These results have also been more impressive than {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}} as they have failed to go this far in tournament without the use of a secondary in recent history. Due to this, some smashers have debated that Sheik should be ranked higher than this with {{Sm|Dabuz}} {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|MKLeo}} agreeing that Sheik should be ranked slightly higher. | Currently, Sheik is ranked as 4th on the fourth tier list, but has since then dropped to the A tier due to her results being worse than the characters ranked higher than her, although they still remain strong with many top players still having high opinions over Sheik as {{Sm|VoiD}} won Smash 'N' Splash 4 defeating top players {{Sm|Mistake}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Light}} and {{Sm|Salem}} marking the first time Sheik won a major since patch [[1.1.5]], {{Sm|Mr.R}} getting 2nd at Hyrule Saga defetaing top players {{Sm|DSS}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|ANTi}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}} before losing to {{Sm|Tweek}}, 1-3, and {{Sm|Nietono}} getting 3rd at EVO 2018 defeating top players {{Sm|Charlie}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|falln}}, {{Sm|Choco}}, {{Sm|Mr E}}, and {{Sm|Mistake}} before losing to {{Sm|Captain Zack}} 0-3 (Although he used Diddy Kong to beat Choco and Mr E).

Other players like {{Sm|ESAM}}, however, believe that she is overrated due to her inconsistency at killing as he puts her at 8th on his tier list. | ||
