Captain Falcon vs. Sheik Super Smash Bros. Brawl tiers, match-up votes and discussion

His speed prevents this match-up from being a 10 to 90.

Agreed. Captain Falcon's punish game can be potent on Sheik, but his attacks are marginally slower (especially his kill moves) and have worse placement on their hitboxes. Meanwhile, Captain Falcon's weight and falling speed make him very easily comboed by Sheik's forward tilt, much like the spacies and other heavyweights. Captain Falcon can gimp careless Sheiks with a Falcon Dive stage spike, however it gives Sheik more time to read compared to Marth's Dolphin Slash (as in tech). Conversely, Sheik has a better recovery and significantly more effective edge guarding; her back and forward airs after a forward tilt lock into up smash or another move have great knock back, forward air in particular. Thus, while Captain Falcon has more power and better endurance, this matchup is 2/8 since damage racking and landing the KO/gimping moves are so one-sided in favor of Sheik.
