EVERYTHING You Need To Know About SHEIK'S NEEDLES

[@SSB_Seal]

Needles are probably my favorite move as a Sheik main. There's just so many things they can be used for, and it's always nice to get a refresher on many of those uses! Thanks for making this video.

[@SSBMTutorials]

I always see such nice comments from you on our videos. Thanks for being a real one! 💯 - Connor

[@SSB_Seal]

@@SSBMTutorials I like to let people know when they've made something I enjoy! Just one little way to spread positivity and whatnot. Thanks for telling me that, haha. Also omg I'm such a big fan of your Sheik, you always have some of the coolest clips around! 🙏🙏

[@jaredbowers9503]

Aww, humanity isn't the worst after all

[@jazaniac]

Needle gimping a peach or jiggs player might be the best feeling in melee.

[@JoonTheKim]

Picking up sheik solely to learn this. Will update later

[@agitosblades]

best feeling is accidentally wavedashing off the stage ledge, jumping, and then perfectly spot dodging parallel to the stage floor so that you ground cancel mid spar. i don’t make the rules i just follow the reads

[@oceanwaves83]

2:57 this just explained so much.... 17 years of playing and not knowing needles bounced......

[@arJunebugSmash]

Needles are hype

[@EDEdDNEdDYFaN]

vs. Samus you can also snipe the bombs themselves as she's recovering, one of my fav things to do in the MU cause it generally leads to a kill

[@lakessbm]

The charge shot invalidation is such a piss off.

[@lakessbm]

@Morph Ball 😮 I didn't know that! Well happy to say I'm a recovering Samus main that switched to fox 4 years ago. I have had relapses, but have now been fully Samus free for over 2 months

[@JSteezy]

@@lakessbm I'm sorry to hear about your trauma. If you are up to it, I'd love to hear more about your flashbacks :) Did waveshine via Fox ever make it to your trauma list?

[@JSteezy]

It is but I also love it. Puff's f-smash is way too strong and how the heck can she throw someone up so far? It's insane.

[@lakessbm]

@@JSteezy yes waveshine was bad, but worst of all was sheiks downthrow fair. I was so young...

[@JSteezy]

@@lakessbm What drew you to samus anyway? And now fox? I am addicted to the movement of this game and the amount of time I'm in the air just jumping as samus is like a lifetime to me. I enjoy playing sheik, fox and falco quite a lot. Sheik was my gateway character from PM but I was really into Falco. Now I play a lot of Fox and Falco depending on mood or matchup but Sheik sometimes as well. More, recently. Because marth...More falco and sheik these days because of Marth lol.

[@KevinGannets]

me who doesn’t play sheik at all: *very interesting*

[@bobroctopus2210]

Me who doesn't play melee: *I agree*

[@SheikAshii]

The walljump recovery was insane. And the Armada clip at the end eas really cool. Can snipe people riding the wall with a run off turnaround needle throw amazing

[@stuvius]

Can we just appreciate how much detail and effort they put into this game?

[@eddiestilll]

as someone who plays sheik as a secondary, incorporating needles into my game was always a bit tricky so dis vid was super helpful :D thank u SSBM tutorials!!! :)

[@Smashing_PunKing]

I loved sheik when I was a kid playing melee... How tf did I never know you could store needles 😭😭😭

[@ariesomega2487]

The video kira promised years ago finally has come Thank you guys

[@WooAlberto]

Me who's locals are made up of almost entirely sheiks: 📝needles 📝 are 📝 dummy 📝 good 📝

[@roundupssbm]

Me: picks up the game and finds ssbm tutorials, starts maining sheik Ssbm tutorials 5 years ago: well make a needles video soon! (Actually makes it 5 years later like a boss) Me: we take those

[@OmarRifaiII]

sick video. really good and varied clip selection to illustrate the points being made. loved it!

[@Base_Bass_Forte]

Pain. Pain, pain, pain and more pain. That's everything i know about Sheiks needles.

[@SnippyDoughnut]

oh my god fool the needles have hurtboxes that affect L cancel timing, are you fucking serious, this is the sickest goddamn game, ever made

[@Chrisuan]

Finally... they were always a mystery to me. I just accepted getting grabbed or edgeguarded lol

[@eu4um]

Amazing guide! You’re a natural at this Connor

[@Skapes11238]

Needles are why me need monitors lol. Some CRTs make them neigh impossible to see but the move is so good it doesn't matter at times. The depth of this one move along side the melee mechanics is so satisfying.

[@JaneViolet_]

Really great video! I wasn't sure how much the video would cover that I didn't already know, but I was surprised to learn it was actually quite a lot.

[@Radarssbm]

Amazing video, Connor is a god!

[@Ax-now]

Thanks for this guide, im beginner in melee and i main Sheik (my love) this is very useful for me !

[@bonzokop1233]

Holy shit the vid ive been waiting for

[@Sway___SD]

quite possibly my favorite video on the channel, amazing stuff :)

[@SminkingDoctor]

It’s here. It’s finally here.

[@weezingfan64]

THE NEEDLE VIDEO FINALLY CAME I AM SO HAPPY

[@NightfoxNiko]

Now we just need a guide on how to see the things. They're practically half a pixel tall on CRTs.

[@shadoninja]

Wow this was a great idea for a video. Thanks!

[@LeavingMirror]

he'S BACK! EDIT: wait... hes been back

[@lagalil]

Yeah I have been waiting 5 years for this video since kira promised it, I already learned how to use them! Jk amazing video

[@FirePuff12]

Everytime I mentally prep myself. Its ok if Kira and team are done. We still have such amazing videos. THEN THEY RELEASE ANOTHER ONE!!! KEEP RECOMMENDING THE GAME GUYS!!!

[@wordanjitter]

as a beginner this is really eye opening, thank you

[@crisXD2010]

i would love to see a 100K youtube channel/creator award unboxing!

[@jespejo1882]

this is a super informative video

[@thegoodgeneral]

Yay!

[@davidl1112]

At 4:08 you said every needle after the first puts them in regular hitstun instead of crouch cancel hitstun. I'm looking at Ikneedata and id0, id2, and id3 all have purely horizontal knockback which can't be ASDIed down and I'm assuming one of those is the hitbox that only hits grounded opponents, but then you shouldn't be able to ASDI down the first needle either. Or are you only talking about the 1/3rd reduction in hitstun/hitlag from crouch armor?

[@crisXD2010]

best melee channel

[@Danaatjebananaatje]

Thanks :D

[@aprimer1431]

9:15 you can also turn-around needle cancel by running off the ledge, although the inputs are frame perfect and the only person I've ever seen do it was Plup vs Druggedfox at Smash&Splash

[@neurotelepath]

"hmm how can we make Akuma fireballs but even more broken?"

[@JBlexe]

Lets go!! Sick vid :)

[@thomasp3543]

Finally!!!

[@Videowaffle94]

I can't believe you didn't talk about American Dragon Needle Storm Barrage

[@Padthai_Shrimp]

wow so this is how jmook is doing it.

[@JoonTheKim]

I fucking love this game

[@TheMOReviewers]

If you SDI away from on-stage aerial needles, can it help you avoid the follow-up grab?

[@spongem8118]

yes

[@brickkid30]

Why is this not in the sheik playlist tho

[@SSBMTutorials]

added! ty

[@SparkyForce]

Title: Everything about needles Video: This video won’t teach you everything about needles

[@Casuuuual]

Am I dumb or is sheik and marth not floaties? I thought they were midfallers or something

[@Dominik_K2]

I was trying the instant needle cancel recovery on fod and fd, but a lot of times my walljumps seems to be to short. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[@partyboat123]

Mario fireball?!

[@MeesterTweester]

Wait, they have a hurtbox on the ground?

[@mlalbaitero]

No it's a hitbox I think idk why he say hurtbox

[@MeesterTweester]

ahmost 22 He said you can hit them when they're stuck in the ground

[@SSB_Seal]

@@mlalbaitero No, it is a hurtbox. They even show characters actually hitting them with attacks and projectiles getting blocked by hitting them. If they had a hitbox in the ground they would be even more broken lol imagine people taking damage just from running up to you after you threw them in the ground or being forced to jump over them

[@mlalbaitero]

@@SSB_Seal oh yeah u right that makes sense

[@koedurley8582]

They always double jump charge and threaten the needles on the way down I hate that thing

[@davidstebbins8002]

Yeah and then if you fullhop over their needles they just needle cancel into aerial or empty land so there's no winning lmao

[@koedurley8582]

@@davidstebbins8002 I go for a hard read and run up and up air under them(falco) out of anger. Otherwise i run away and laser them as punishment for they're crime.
