Got this idea from Sean Benner http://forwardfox.blogspot.com (Forward:Best Falco player and top 5 in US from 2006-8)
Just kind of realized my Marth vs Shiek game is lack luster. East Coast Marths are very good at the matchup.
Then again it seems like the skill difference for Shiek in order to beat a better marth players can be significant.
Things I need to stop doing in this match up:
Zoning on the ground too much: Basically Marth isn;t going to win a footsie game against Shiek.
Dash Dancing and baiting will leave you too susceptible to reacting too much.
Being more Aggressive: Ken would force mistakes because he made it seem like he was attacking...If I play zone too much the shiek has nothing to be afraid of and basically and walk up and react to me (Shielding, etc.) By being more aggressive you can make Shiek jump.
Crouch Canceling also into grabs more as well.
SPACING IS EVERYTHING.
Azen is probably the best Marth vs Shiek, but I can't find any matches of him vs a Shiek on FD.
As of now beating Shiek with Doc isn't an issue, but it's odd how a higher tier character like Marth is worse vs Shiek.
This isn't 2004 where Upthrow uptilt to 40 percent works on Shiek :/
IMO any decent Shiek should be able to do at least 30-50 percent off any dash attack or grab on Marth and hardly ever miss an edgeguard.
