Sheik did receive some buffs besides universal changes, however. Her [[rapid jab]] connects much more reliably and its finisher has less ending lag, making it more effective 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, while her generally least used moves in ''Smash 4'' such as her dash attack, down smash, down aerial and up throw deal more damage. Most notably, however, her back aerial deals more damage and knockback, improving its previously lacking KO potential when sweetspotted (though it is still a relatively weak aerial), and her pummel has gone from one of the slowest to one of the fastest, allowing it to be used more safely. | Sheik did receive some buffs besides universal changes, however.

Overall, Sheik's nerfs | Overall, Sheik's nerfs outweigh her buffs, making her worse than her ''Smash 4'' iteration. Her overall perception has been extremely negative as many smashers such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} {{Sm|Dabuz}} have claimed that she is not a viable character. As such, her current representation in ''Ultimate'' has been poor, with many notable players such as [[Vinnie]], [[Mr. R]], and [[VoiD]] dropping her in favor of other characters. | ||
