+===Tier placement and history===
+Sheik has always been perceived as a top-tier character, which was eventually reflected in her ranking at the very top of the first official 4BR [[tier list]], with the previous nerfs to {{SSB4|Rosalina}} and {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} paving the way for Sheik to be considered the near-indisputable best character in the game, in a very similar manner to {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl.'' Sheik attained this position thanks to her fantastic frame data, her ability to [[space]] with her forward aerial and [[camp]] with needles, extensive combo ability, dominant offstage game, and reliable KO set-ups. Her ability to control the [[neutral game]], rack damage quickly and efficiently, and KO with low-committal grab set-ups all led most players to believe she lacked losing match-ups and had only a handful that were arguably even. As expected, Sheik's position was cemented by a stellar playerbase that included highly talented players such as ZeRo, Mr. R, and VoiD among others, all of whom achieved great results with the character on a consistent basis.
+Sheik's overwhelming dominance took a blow with patch 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 VoiD and 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 and remain a top-tier character, with her placing 3rd on the second version of the tier list.
