Sheik (SSBM)/Forward tilt

Overview

Hitbox duration of Sheik's forward tilt.

Sheik does a quick round kick in front of herself. Although the move has less range than many other forward tilts from characters of similar size, it greatly outshine most of them in scope and is a staple combo move in Sheik's metagame, as it can easily setup forward aerials on fastfallers, and leaves almost any character open for aerial combos, along with having minimal startup and ending lag. It can also be used in between down throws on fastfallers to position them for regrabs or other followups. Additionally, due to the high hitboxes it is excellent at hitting opponents out of aerial approaches.
