You can do Low grab, anti air grab for 27% damage, really easy combo.
Anyone have strategies for her online though?

Yesterday I played as Sheeva against very good players and I rocked as her.
- Use her enhanced special grab as wake-up for ending pressure.
- Use her teleport only in very specific cases since many characters can punish her, control her directions wisely.
- To punish teleport when the opponents are rolling in the air do 3, 3 + special grab - deals nearly 25% which is great.
- Take advantage of her B2, 1+2, fireball - deals nearly 30% alone.
- Don't try to do her anti-grab if the opponent is jump kicking you - they ALWAYS have priority over her, unless she does her enhanced anti-air grab.
- Take advantage of her F4, it has a great range.

A good anti air is 4, Grab n Punch, more effective then anit air grab. Also, i read on TYM her best X-ray combo is actually 4 X-ray-41%. Havent tested it but if its true OP should definitely put it up there.

Try it out. If it works and counts as a whole combo, I'll add it and give you credit for it.

New changes to Sheeva's gameplay.
Fireball hits mid, so it will hit you even if you duck!
Enhanced fireball hits overhead, so if you're ducking and blocking, it will you hit anyway.
Great zoning tools. People will have to jump to get to your Sheeva and, plus, her air grab is faster.
And the cherry in the cake: tele stomp has HYPER ARMOR all the way. So, bye bye Kung Lao's spin
100% safe wake-up special against pressure. Can't wait to try it on. I actually never bothered using her enhanced tele stomp, but now for pressure it's gonna be gold. Now, no special will have priority against her tele stomp (Mileena's teleport kick, Kung Lao and Baraka's spin for example).
Additionally people, it seems jip is gonna disappear in this game, so we will have a whole new tier-list eventually...

Her 1, 1+2 will only work if the first 1 hits.
What do you mean by jips?
Sheeva has 50% corner combos that don't even require meter.

I believe some of those sentences weren't referred to my post. 1, 1+2 only works if 1 gets in the hit and not blocked.
Jump punches are no more. You cannot do a combo string from a jump punch anymore it seems. That may affect Sheeva a bit since her strings tend to have low priority, but most of her big combos don't have to necessarily start with JP. I believe Smoke and Scorpions will have a hard time now. As I am on PS3, I cannot get the patch until next week so I heard

Yeah you can do jp into combo. I'm in the training room now, just did jp, f3, 2. 3 hit combo, 21%.
And true, you aren't always in the corner, and I find sometimes you need to burn meter for extra damage midscreen. Wow, how fireball is crazy good now. Sheeva is almost like using a boss character now!
