Sheik (シーク, Sheik) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
|
NOTE: 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. |
Aesthetics
Sheik's model features a more subdued color scheme, and her hair has simple detailing.- Sheik now wears the Sheikah Set from Breath of the Wild, including the long white scarf of the Stealth Mask.
- Sheik has a new voice that sounds deeper and more masculine than previously.
Attributes
Like all characters, Sheik's jumpsquat animation now takes 3 frames to complete.
Ground attacks
Forward tilt deals less damage.- Forward smash has slightly more range, and the first hit more reliably links into the second hit.
- Down smash's animation is noticeably faster.
Aerial attacks
- All of Sheik's aerials have less landing lag.
- Forward aerial has slightly increased range, improving its spacing utility.
- Up aerial deals slightly more knockback.
- Back aerial deals noticeably higher knockback, making it a viable KO move at higher percents.
Throws/other attacks
- Pummel has a new animation - a knee jab.
- Pummel is faster.
- Forward throw and down throw deal slightly more knockback, reducing their combo potential.
Special Moves
- Needle Storm:
- Needle Storm charges slower, and the charge can no longer be immediately canceled.
- Aerial Needle Storm has less end lag, allowing for potential followups.
- Burst Grenade:
- Burst Grenade no longer leaves Sheik helpless when used 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 more startup frames.
- Bouncing Fish deals slightly more knockback.
- Bouncing Fish produces a splash of water at the start.
- Final Smash
- Sheik has a new Final Smash, replacing Light Arrow. She 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
Sheik was absent in the World of Light trailer, though she presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. It is also possible that she is considered the same character as Zelda, similar to how she was treated in Brawl's adventure mode.
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 an unidentified third character.

Trivia
- Sheik is currently referred to with male pronouns on the Smash Blog [1] despite being referred to with female pronouns in every Smash appearance thus far, as well as on various other official Nintendo social websites.[2][3][4] This may be an error.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate marks the first time in any video game where Sheik is shown using her dagger.
- Ironically, she no longer appears to have the dagger on her person like in previous iterations.
- It is also the first time she has a different Final Smash from her alter-ego, Zelda.
