Who voted that this matchup is even? Sheik has pretty much no safe options to approach the Ice Climbers without entering their grab range, Chain is too laggy to effectively space with (plus, it doesn't have the notable range of Melee's chain), and her other moves are easily punished (forward and down smashes, and even forward and up tilts aren't that useful due to how both Ice Climbers can't be combed together by them). Pretty much Sheik's only option is to zone with needles, but she also has to contend with Ice Shot. Because Sheik falls so fast, even a lone Ice Climber can chaingrab Sheik for 60%. Only Pikachu can be argued to be a worse matchup for Sheik. My vote: 8-2 Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cWK... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTRMz...
