But if you think about it this way.. If you stick it out, and get really good with Sheeva, you have to make up for so many shortcomings, that when you play, say.. Kano, or Kabal; Smoke or Nightwolf. Any high tier character, you'll be THAT much better off the get go. The main strategy with Sheeva, when you first pick her up, is mastering the basics with all her problems.. For instance, her LP runs suck, her RH is super delayed, her size, her slow but long sweep, her pointy, but delayed ducking LK.. If you can master using those disadvantages, when you play a character that doesn't have them, you'll be that much more in tune with them, and it will be cake.
