Sheik (Life & Death)

Sheik (シーク, Sheik) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Sheik is a character from The Legend of Zelda universe. Sheik debuted in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, often appearing at random times as well as claiming to be one of the last surviving Sheikah and aiding Link by teaching him warp songs. In actuality, however, Sheik is the magically-induced alter ego of Princess Zelda. 
Sheik is voiced by Ayumi Fujimura in-game, who also voices Mechanica and provides voices to some Mii Fighters in-game.

Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A roundhouse kick.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	A stretch kick followed by an axe kick. The first hit is hard to land on grounded opponents.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A legsweep.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Lunges to perform outward fanning knifehand strikes with both hands.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	A roundhouse kick followed by a jumping spinning sidekick. Both attacks cause Sheik to move forward.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Raises her arms overhead and then quickly swings them downward to perform outward fanning knifehand strikes.
Down Smash 	N/A 	A modified butterfly kick performed from the windmill (a breakdancing move).
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A flying kick.

Down Throw 	N/A 	A collar drag takedown followed by a somersault axe kick.
Neutral Special	Needle Storm 	Accumulates up to six needles that can be thrown immediately or stored for later use. When used in the air, Sheik throws the needles downward at approximately 30°. The needles have transcendent priority, and thus cannot stop or be stopped by other attacks (including, for example, other projectiles).
Side Special 	Burst Grenade	Throws a grenade attached to a tripwire. On detonation, the grenade creates a small vortex that pulls opponents towards it, then explodes. The detonation can be delayed a second by holding the special move button. The grenade can be thrown farther when used in the air or when thrown over an edge. If Sheik is attacked before the grenade explodes, the grenade will detach from the tripwire and become a non-explosive item that anyone can use.
Up Special 	Vanish 	After a short delay, Sheik destroys a Deku Nut in order to disappear via a small explosion before reappearing nearby in a controlled direction.
Down Special 	Bouncing Fish	A 360° Tengkong Pantui Cepu (a kick used in Nanquan). If it connects with an opponent, she will backflip a distance away and land on her feet. She can then perform subsequent kicks up to three times by pressing the special move button again after the preceding kick connects.
Final Smash 	Sheikah Dance	Sheik dashes forward and slashes with her knife. If she catches anyone, the Sheikah eye symbol will appear onscreen, and the screen will darken. She will then proceed to launch an onslaught of punches, kicks and slashes from multiple directions before finally launching the trapped opponent with an upward slash. The last hit launches opponents in the opposite direction of the initial dash. Only one opponent can be trapped, although bystanders will also take damage during Sheikah Dance.

==Fighter Spirits==
Sheik's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Sheik in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
