Sheik (シーク, Sheik) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Sheik is classified as fighter #16.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

- Sheik's color scheme is more subdued, and her hair features simple detailing similar to Brawl.
- Sheik's voice is deeper and more masculine than previously.
Attributes
Like all characters, Sheik's jumpsquat animation now takes 3 frames to complete (down from 4).- Sheik dashes significantly faster.
- Sheik's air speed is faster.
Sheik's weight has been decreased. She is now lighter than Kirby.
Ground attacks
- Forward tilt deals less damage, but this also allows it to combo at higher percents.
- Up tilt has less endlag.
- Both hits of up tilt deal less damage.
- Forward smash has slightly more range.
- Forward smash's two hits link together more reliably.
- Down smash's animation is noticeably faster.
Aerial attacks
- All aerials have less landing lag.
- Forward aerial has slightly increased range, improving its spacing utility.
- Forward aerial deals slightly less damage.
- Up aerial deals slightly more knockback.
- Back aerial deals noticeably higher knockback, making it a viable KO option at high percents.
Throws/other attacks
- Sheik's pummel is faster.
- Pummel is now a knee jab rather than an elbow jab.
- Forward throw and down throw deal slightly more knockback, reducing their combo potential.
Special Moves
- Needle Storm:
- Needle Storm charges more slowly, and the charge can no longer be immediately canceled.
- Aerial Needle Storm has less endlag, allowing for potential followups.
- Burst Grenade:
- Burst Grenade no longer leaves Sheik helpless in the air.
- Burst Grenade's vortex is now clear/white rather than light blue, which may make it harder for opponents to see.
- Vanish:
- Sheik emits a gold flash right before she disappears.
- Bouncing Fish:
- Bouncing Fish has slightly increased startup.
- Bouncing Fish deals slightly more knockback.
- Bouncing Fish produces a splash of water at the start.
- Sheikah Dance:
- Sheik has a new Final Smash called Sheikah Dance, replacing Light Arrow. Sheik dashes forward while the Sheikah symbol flashes on-screen. If the initial attack lands, Sheik will trap the opponent in place and repeatedly slash them with her dagger before launching them away, similar to Triforce Slash.
Role in World of Light
Although Sheik does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, she was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.
During the mode itself, Sheik can be unlocked early on shortly after rescuing Mario, where the player has the choice to rescue her, Marth or Villager.
