Diddy's good tools aren't his frame data though. His good tools are banana, fair, good mobility, and amazing neutral (thanks to banana). Sheik's good tools are her frame data, fair, needles, and recovery I guess? They're completely different in that regard.They said this about Diddy Kong about 6 different times. "All of the things propping this character up got deleted, characters dead"
And he kept coming back into the top spots, every time.
For small nudges to catapult characters up or down tiers, you need an extremely well balanced game to begin with. Smash 4's balance isn't tight enough to drop Sheik out of top 5 if Fair was tweaked so you couldn't chain them, especially since with how changes happen in this game, since it'd probly get like a ~2% damage boost for its framedata and knockback being screwed with so badly.
Out of those her frame data is most important. Nerf that, and Sheik's not that quick ninja that can combo you to oblivion anymore, which is the entire point. Most people I've seen discuss Sheik agreed that her frame data should remain untouched.
