Sheik has some unique quirks to her movement in this game. These are some small optimisations you can use to speed up your gameplay as well as making some combos connect that otherwise couldn't.

Some of this tech applies to other characters as well. Other characters with faster Run Speeds than Dash Speeds include Sonic, Fox, Captain Falcon, Greninja, Ridley, Cloud, Palutena, Yoshi, Pikachu and Mii Brawler - some of these increases are more dramatic than others. Any character with a Dash to Shield of frame 8 can do the quicker skid cancel stuff as well - I didn't test the whole cast, but I know at least Corrin can do it too.

For anyone hoping for Fox content, I'm afraid Fox is just ... very boring for me in this game. I've labbed dozens of hours on him, and there's nearly nothing interesting to show for it. Nobody's more disappointed about that than I am. There may be some Fox content down the line just to cover the random stuff I've labbed, or a combo video of the clips I have so far, but I'm mostly turning my attention towards Sheik as my labbed character of interest. I'll still be posting stuff which can apply to Fox though (like Dashwalking in this video) so I hope you still stick around.
