Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Sheik's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her hair retains its simple detailing, similar to Brawl.- While Sheik retains some design elements from SSB4, she now wears the Sheikah Set from Breath of the Wild, including the long white scarf of the Stealth Mask.
- Similar to Brawl, Sheik's muscles are less well defined, making her appearance overall less masculine.
- Sheik now has a new voice, which sounds a tad bit deeper than before.
Attributes
Like all characters, Sheik's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Due to the removal of perfect pivots, Sheik's tilt combos have been removed.
Ground attacks
- Forward smash links into itself better, and its range has slightly increased.
Aerial attacks
- Forward aerial has slightly increased range, granting it better spacing ability.
- Up aerial has slightly increased knockback.
- Back aerial has noticeably increased knockback, making it a viable KO move at high percents.
Throws/other attacks
- Sheik has a new pummel, a kneekick. It is faster compared to her previous pummel.
- Forward and Down throw have slightly more knockback and hitstun, reducing its combo potential.
Special Moves
- Needle Storm charges slower and can no longer be canceled immediately, as Sheik now has to wait for a period of time before being able to cancel the charge.
- Aerial Needle Storm has less ending lag, allowing for potential followups.
- Using Burst Grenade mid-air will no longer leave Sheik helpless afterwards.
- Vanish no longer grants her invincibility right before executing the move.
- Bouncing Fish has slightly more startup lag.
- Bouncing Fish has slightly more knockback.
- Bouncing Fish now produces a splash of water on start-up.
- Sheik has a new Final Smash, replacing Light Arrow. Her new Final Smash now involves her lashing out while the Sheikah symbol flashes on-screen. If it lands, Sheik will trap the opponent and slash repeatedly before finishing with a strong blow, similar to Triforce Slash.
