Bouncing Fish
Bouncing Fish is Sheik's down special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It replaces her Transform move from Super Smash Bros. Brawl due to her and Princess Zelda being made separate fighters.
Bouncing Fish is visually similar to Zero Suit Samus's Flip Jump special move, as it involves Sheik leaping forward with a kick. If the kick lands, the opponent receives high knockback, and Sheik rebounds backwards in a higher arc than the original. If the player presses the special move button again after the first kick lands, Sheik can perform a second kick.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the first custom variant, Jellyfish, covers much more height and is slightly slower than Bouncing Fish, and also knocks the opponent in the air, allowing Sheik to easily kick a second time. The second custom variant, Pisces, moves fast and covers the most distance, although the kick is optional when performed on the ground.
