Differences from Brawl
Sheik has received some considerable buffs to further increase her mobility and power. Many of her moves properties now resembles a bit the ones she had in Melee. As transformations have been removed, she no longer can transform into Zelda and vice-versa. She also received very few nerfs.

Appearance-wise, Sheik looks much like she did in Brawl, however with some additional details to her clothes. She also got a new idle animation that gives her a more fierce look.

Attributes

 * Short hop is much faster and her normal jump has less landing lag.
 * No longer able to perform Tether Recovery due her new Side Special, Burst Grenade.

Ground Attacks

 * The second hit of her Neutral Attack can transition between rapid jabs and a finisher.
 * Up and Down Tilt have less ending lag and knockback growth.
 * Forward Smash is much stronger in terms of knockback.
 * Up Smash's sweetspot is a bit stronger in terms of knockback, but harder to land. Also, sourspot causes slightly lower knockback.
 * Down Smash deals less damage and knockback, but has slightly lower ending lag.
 * Dash Attack's animation is slightly different, where Sheik claws more forcefully. It's now a multi-hit attack, has slightly higher reach and causes more horizontal knockback.

Aerial Attacks

 * Forward Aerial has a different animation, and is much faster.
 * Back Aerial has less ending lag.
 * Up Aerial is now a multi-hit attack, similar to Samus' Up Aerial, however it deals high damage and knockback.
 * Down Aerial now causes Meteor Smash, however it descends much faster. Additionally, also causes a second hit against grounded opponents.

Grabs and Throws

 * Forward Throw is slightly faster and sends opponents more vertically.
 * Back Throw has less ending lag.
 * Down Throw deals much more knockback, and now sends opponents more vertical above Sheik, like it was in Melee's. However, it deals less damage.

Special Attacks

 * Needle Storm, when used in midair, no longer gives Sheik landing lag.
 * New Side Special, Burst Grenade, replaces her old one, Chain. Rather than using the chain to cause damage, Sheik launches a grenade attached to the chain, which explodes when the button is released, causing knockback. When used in midair, it leaves Sheik in a helpless state.
 * Vanish now has a hitbox when Sheik reappears, causing dmaage and knockback.
 * New Down Special, Bouncing Fish, replaces her old one, Transform. It functions similar to Zero Suit Samus' Down Special, Flip Jump, however it covers much more horizontal range. It also causes very high knockback.
 * Light Arrow deals slightly less knockback than Zelda's, but causes more damage and now launches opponents at a lower angle instead of straight forward. With this in mind, it can be considered a Meteor Smash.

Trophy Description
''In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sheik claimed to be a surviving Sheikah. However, this was just a cunning disguise used by--SPOILER ALERT!--Princess Zelda so she could hide from Ganondorf. In Smash Bros., she's the complete opposite of Zelda, striking with fast attacks that can unbalance her foes.''

 * Since Sheik is now her own character, two new moves have been added, the Bouncing Fish and the Burst Grenade.
 * Sheik's eight color skin variation appears to be a reference to Tetra. Wich is another transformation from Zelda.
