Blood Wing beat you to it >;) shit i apologize for the cringy emote thing i wanted to convey that i wasnt trying to be rude but it went overboard and it must have scarred you and your family and your dog. Arrivederci.
I love links play style. He is a master of manipulation. I’m glad I main him, and honestly this is the best incarnation of link that’s been made being the hero of the wild. The remote bomb is fantastic and fun to use. I could go on and on about how much I love this character
I personally love melee link for two reasons: 1: hero of time link is the best link. 2: contrary to popular belief I consistently won locals and beat everyone I knew with melee link back in the day he was an underrated secret gem who to this day is the best iteration of link in smash.
Link is one of my core mains, and I personally love how your videos are layered out. Also, what I love about ya, Izaw, is how you, a professional Smash Player, is teaching us what we have to do to become good ourselves, and you still deeply earn my respect on that. Keep up the good work, and we'll wait patiently for the next "Art of" video next time.
Welcome to my SSBU text character guide! Simply put, I want to inform people on the character Izaw is covered in the video, but with text as an alternative. My goal is to inform players, newcomers, or even veterans on Link in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. *Link* is a flexible rushdown/zoning heavyweight character that excels at pressuring shields with his godlike jumping kicks (nair & bair), flexible projectiles (z-drop bomb pressure with the detonate threat, Boomerang, and arrow), disjointed attacks like Fair, D-tilt, & F-tilt, & with one of the fastest grabs to complement this. He is very good at making opponents want to jump to avoid his projectiles, and this leaves them open for anti-air punishes, which he excels at. On the space control spectrum, Link can surprisingly cover every possible angle with his bomb (the blast on detonation is huge), Boomerang’s multiple angles, and arrows going massive horizontal distances (pretty much covering entire stages when fully charged) makes Link a terror when edgeguarding or when he has stage control Also, Link is much faster in this game than his previous iterations: walk speed (1.188 → 1.247). Run speed (1.3944 → 1.534). Initial dash speed (1.3 → 1.98). His Fast Fall speed has a 90% increase, which makes abusing him in a juggle state harder than usual. His recovery is also very long (one of the longest) with a bomb he can z-drop detonate off-stage. However, Link lacks options when dealing with fast in-your-face pressure, he lacks a burst option in front of him, getting off of the ledge when ledgetrapped, or when his Bomb is used against him (like opponents z-dropping it on him for pressure & nulling one of his best tools). His weight and size also make him combo food, so beware of those flaws. *Jab* - Only use when needed, as it can be shield jumped punished and is risky on shield even when delayed into jab 2 and jab 3. On hit it does lead to tech situations after 20%. *F-Tilt* - Very useful move for ledgetrapping and it’s useful after nair pressure because it mixes the way link pressures up greatly. Can kill at later %s and setup edgeguards. Safe when properly spaced. Can lead to tech chasing at 20%-40% *U-tilt* - Great anti-air and combo starter after a down throw with successful DI reading. Great for covering platforms too. Good against ledge jump. *D-tilt* - Links safest grounded poke (being safe on shield at max range). It’s useful when opponents have been heavily conditioned to angle the shield up to resist nair shield poke pressure, just for them to get shield poked from their legs being left open. Leads to uair if opponents DI in at certain mid %s. Beats ledgestalling. *Dash Attack* - A hard punish on opponents landing in an obvious spot. Most threatening after boomerang is returning and bomb has been tossed to control space. *F-smash* - A hard read whiff punisher. A hard Tech option/Roll punish. And more importantly, A shield poking/ breaking option against damaged shields. *U-smash* - A hard punish on jumping opponents. Can be used after a down throw at low %s to force jumps or air dodges after the 3 hits connect. Committal anti-air. *Nair* - One of the best Nairs. Has a long lasting weak hitbox after the initial strong hitbox and it has only 6 frames of landing lag. Both are safe on shield the closer Link is to the ground when using them, or when spaced, or in cross-ups, making them safe. It also shield pokes ridiculously easily, hitting other characters through shields usually after one attacks hits an opponent’ss shield, giving it terrifying pressure capabilities, tech setups, and combo opportunities. One of the best edgeguarding tools (along with bomb) for its lingering hitbox. *Bair* - almost as good as Nair, but with 2 turn around kicks. Both with 6 frames of landing each. Useful for additional pressure, combo extending, and edgeguarding. Change if only the first hit will connect or if both will connect when using it as a shield pressuring tool to avoid parries. Leads to tech situations at 25% *Uair* - A juggling tool that kills and forces air dodges or jumps with its vertical knockback. 14 frames of landing lag. *Dair* - Link’s only meteor attack. 19 frames of landing lag. Useful for the weaker lingering hitbox for snatching low recoveries off-stage. Landing mix-up with fast fall to land quickly with a hitbox under Link. *Fair* - Link’s spacing disjointed aerial. 11 frames of landing lag. Safe on shield from max range on either hit. The second hit can kill with the first hit leading into grab and other options if coupled with a fast fall with it’s non-existent knockback. Also, it does respectable shield damage if both hit connects with a shield. *Neutral B* - Arrows are useful. Has an arc with good horizontal distance when a charge is applied. Covers infinite horizontal in its line of fire and does good damage when charged. Useful for sniping off the stage, chipping away shields, and covering options like platforms. *Boomerang* - Has a variety of angles that control space and it poses a mixup for opponents when returning because of the hitstun it inflicts leading to combo opportunities and kill confirms. Does decent shield damage and is safe against shield, even at a half-sword’s length (although perfect parry can easily be done at that range). Has many damaging setups at lower %s & is useful for chipping down shields. Great for edgeguarding with its multiple applications (like bouncing it off the side of the stage to hitting lower recovering opponents). *Bombs* - One of the most deadly projectiles in SSBU with its huge radius upon detonating and its hitstun inducing hitbox if it’s moving AT ALL. It can be used to z-drop pressure, anti-air, ledgetrap, shield poke, control platforms, & gimp recoveries. It is also not a one dimensional tool because all of Link’s (and his opponents) moves can hit the bomb, granting it a hitbox and sending it a variety of angles that the opponent has to worry about because of the detonation choking a huge space (unless the opponent is carrying it). The bomb has a HP value (50%? I think?). Anyway, beware of using this tool recklessly because opponents can use it to pressure you and deny access to its utility. *Great Spin* - Link’s only OoS open when jump canceled from shielding and one of his primary recover options. It sends at a very favorable angle for edgeguarding, kills at 85%+ or sends very far away, and can even be a combo ender because of its aerial variants enveloping hitbox which sweeps opponent into the front to be swiped away. One of Link’s more unseen edgeguarding tools against vertical recoveries because it forces tech lest the opponent get stage spiked. Is still useful against horizontal recoveries if a stock lead is present. *U-throw* - The kill throw. Can be useful at low % because it puts opponents above you. *D-throw* - The combo throw. Opponents can alter the knockback angle with DI, but mixups are guaranteed. *B-throw* - Positional advantage throw. *F-throw* - Positional advantage throw.
Me, having a meh day : Izaw : NOT ON MY WATCH ! Here, take that sweet Art of Link, hell, I'll even make playthrought of games you are so waiting for, thx kiss bye. We don't deserve you dude, you always hit that sweet spot of awesomeness in your videos !
I don't know if anybody will read this, but I found a stupid easy way to reverse your up tilt after a down throw. Here's how you do it.. When pressing "down" for the down throw, do not return the stick to neutral. Instead, roll the stick from towards the top till you get to the diagonal angle you're looking for. From here you can input a buffered reverse up tilt that will be frame perfect.
Abdulaziz Mohammef yep, bomb. A very important character. Link's best friend even. Best on Link's team but always with team attack on for some reason. I wander if that will be ever changed in the next patch. Finding bomb on the character select screen should also be patched in too. It's going to be bomb... who Izasmash reviews next.
Can't wait to watch this when I get home! Have been waiting for this. Love all your content and so excited you're covering my (our) main! Your scripts, and editing of such high quality. Keep it up!!
I love how detailed you go in the specifics of all his moves to the point of giving bomb its own video I would love to see you cover other characters with complicated uses like Pokémon trainers switches
The amount of detail and devotion you put into this character is the entire reason why I subscribed and followed you since the release of your first Smash Ultimate video. Top notch work.
I've found soooo many kills off of uair after boomerang on shield. The opponent jumps after the boomerang hits very often and it's a great mixup I use often. Also, fantastic video!
Bro the part with hair on shield is why I watch tutorials, you yourself have so much insight and I have seen many others and I’m just taking in things for every character can’t wait to practice
This is such a well-made tutorial, concise and straight to the point. Link main and started going to tournaments recently, I love watching your videos and saw a video of your match at GOML, very impressive! Can't wait for the bomb video!
This is perhaps the most detailed and helpful smash guide I've ever watched. Amazing job. Your explanations aren't too advanced that they are over my head, but they are a snapshot of where I may be one day as a smash player. For now, a lot of the concepts in this video are completely new to me. I'm excited to learn and grow. I'm going to crush my homies next time I face them. I didn't actually realize smash was this advanced. Thank you so much for this
This Link guide is the most impressive Smash guide I've seen! I'm a Smash noobie, playing about a month now. So 90% of this information is lost on me. Hopefully I'll come to understand it over the next few months as I play 😁👍
This video was one of the first things I watched when I first played Ultimate. It's how I first learned to play Smash more seriously and now Link is my most dependable main. Thank you!
This video is pure Rupee ! It's a truly awesome guide with clear demonstration and a LOT of knowledge. Thanks you very much for making this, i subscribed as soon as it was over
I won the first tourney i ever went to as link in jan 2022, now i shall be returning to the same tourney at the same place tomorrow to defend my title. This is the coolest shit I ever was part of lol I'm a champion returning to defend my title. I never thought I'd even be alive at this age, let alone having a main character ass moment like this. This video gave me a few more pointers but idk how much more I can learn after playing ultimate for over 5 years. I miss melee sometimes
Wow, your videos just keep reminding me how much there is to just one singular character, all of this is achieved because of your amazing video quality and polish, followed by detailed and on point visual presentation and script. Really, amazing work. P.S: Breath of the Wild's soundtrack is just gorgeous, isn't it...
Thank you Izaw!!!! I will now patiently wait for your series on the bomb and future Art of videos. You are by far my favorite channel for guides *whispers* (and memes). Also your Sm4sh Art of Link helped me improve in Brawl.
I've been looking forward to this one. Thank you for getting to Link! Great video. Automatically added to my Smash playlist. Watching this reminds me how much one can really do with this character in Ultimate. I've mained Link since Brawl. No regrets. It's wonderful to see how he's evolved. The Sheikah Bomb is the best thing that happened to him in this game. I can't wait for more videos on that.
Omggggggg!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Also, you should mention that f smash at zero close range is stronger too with the beam. And, thank you for making this, reallllly helpful
Incredibly comprehensive, awesome tutorial my man. I always felt like Link's skill cap would just always be super far beyond my reach. I'm inspired to pick him back up again!
One of my friends mains Link so I'll be sure to show this to him! It's a good guide by the way! I don't play Link much, but I feel like I too learned a lot about from you in general! ^^
Thank you, Izaw, for all the hard work you have poured into Link and Smash research overall. When Sm4sh released, I was determined to figure out how to Link, despite having at the time no concept of how fighting games work. Not only did you give me much-needed guidance, but you also bolstered my faith in him when up against the terrors that were Sm4sh’s top tiers, and now, with this video, you do so again for Smash Ultimate. I look forward to the next Art of... video. Thank you.
ITS FINALLY OUT! God no other smash youtuber has even CLOSE to the level of polish and quality as you Now I just have to wait 89 years until Art of Donkey Kong.
I watched your smash 4 version so and it helped me play better.I'm glad that you made an updated version.Some of the stuff from 4 is still viable like the boomerang which I used since day one but I never realized how good nair is
Funnily enough, these videos are called "art of", when these videos are works of art themselves. I love these so much, much love and respect to you and your craft!
A combo I learned when playing link (only works around starting percent because it requires getting the sour spot which knocks your opponent back around 30% and above it does a good 33- 40%) fast fall nair (sour spot)>down tilt> forward air (may want to practice the f-air tho)
The amount of detail you put into Link's N-air alone far surpasses most "eLiTe sMasH gUidEs" in their entirety. The quality of content and production shown in these videos is unlike anything else in the smash community. We all appreciate the hard work!
Aside from being straight to the point and extremely helpful i have to say what a great presentation these videos have, specially how yo chosed music from the character's game it makes very entertaining to watch!
When soft-throwing the boomerang up, if you walk forward so you don't catch it (making it curve downward), it bounces off the ground and goes almost straight up. When hard throwing, and not catching it, boomerang goes through the stage. (both up or down) I have no idea where this would be useful but there ya go.
Your guides are the best on YT. I love your explanations and examples while commentating what options you have. Keep them coming, they're amazing. Also could you do one on Greninja, he's my fav 👍
Genuinely bought smash a few days ago and after watching this I won my first online tourney. I’ve played fighting games before and I’ve spent some time watching smash content for entertainment but it’s still pretty impressive how much this helps even a beginner.
Thank you for this video, i can start to understand new Link more, as i was too used to Smash 4 Link and cant play Yink due to his speed and light weight
You never know what videos will teach you global smash tech you weren't aware of previously. Thanks for letting me know I can double tap to walk out of dash with any character! Also the video was very enlightening and well constructed.
You can pop the bomb over when its stationary with a low nair and fake opponents with its change in movement. Its very subtle but surprisingly very effective cause moving it by throwing covers too much distance & grabbing and dropping it takes too much time. Its quick and unexpected for certain situations especially ledge trapping (perfect for more complex mind games). The placement and timing can be tricky but labbing it will help obviously.
I started following your channel when you did this same vido for Link on SB BRAWL. You made the Brawl scene a great one on your city because I popularized your videos and many people started learning your techs and style. I've got a lot to thank you man, you never know how much a piece of content you create can affect people elsewhere. Many friendships were made and a lot of fun times were had. Seeing this notification, The Art of Link (Smash Ultimate edition) makes me remember those times, and makes me notice how long I've been following your channel. Keep up the good work and keep going to tournaments in the west as you can. I'll keep following and supporting this channel however I can.
Hey IzawSmash, I want to say thank you for explaining each thing you do , i'm ok at smash but not good, but the way you explain spacing and options is very nicely done, please continue as i hope to observe more!
If I’m correct, I remember fighting you online and I was DESTROYED by your Link and it lead me to your channel to tutorials where I declared you my master. I hope to see you at Momo! Thank you IzAw.
Thank you for this Izaw! I’ve been playing link since 64, and I remember watching you play him in Brawl, during those dark time, you were Always an inspiration! And what I learned from you let my Link hold his own in the local community! Thank you! Would love to see an Art of Zero suit Samus.
Loving these videos. As a suggestion, you may want to add a small text for the move you are covering currently, either only for a couple seconds or the entire segment. Your explanations are easy to follow, but when skipping through and searching for a particular section this might actually help a lot.
18:24 the reverse Uptilt is the most reliable follow-up from down throw at low % and is super easy if you buffer it by holding diagonally up behind on the control stick and A during the throw animation. Also some questionable examples of risky up B/Upsmash scenarios and a few things I feel like are missing. Still a lot of good stuff, tho.
Hey I wanted to know where I can find the Kass’ theme used in the video, the link in the description didn’t take me there and I’m interested in hearing that song alone
Also would love to see an art of Robin! I loved how you chose to make guides for some of the less played fighters in Smash 4, would love to see Robin especially if you ever find the time! Thanks

Izaw: *releases Art of Link*
Chrom mains: *laugh hysterically*
JMotto The King hahahahaha
Art of Chrom/Roy needs to be done
*im in danger*
LINK is in the description below 🤔
Me looking for LINK 👀... 😤
Bro the part with hair on shield is why I watch tutorials, you yourself have so much insight and I have seen many others and I’m just taking in things for every character can’t wait to practice
First hit of back air + Spin attack
Is a true combo and a kill confirm near the end of the stage
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time as I’m actually starting to use Link more lately!
Amazing work as always Izaw!
Your first how to link is how I actually started getting good at smash. Ever since link has always been my best character, thank you for your lessons!
Me matched against link:
Oh shit here we go again
This is such a well-made tutorial, concise and straight to the point. Link main and started going to tournaments recently, I love watching your videos and saw a video of your match at GOML, very impressive! Can't wait for the bomb video!
This is perhaps the most detailed and helpful smash guide I've ever watched. Amazing job. Your explanations aren't too advanced that they are over my head, but they are a snapshot of where I may be one day as a smash player. For now, a lot of the concepts in this video are completely new to me. I'm excited to learn and grow.
I'm going to crush my homies next time I face them. I didn't actually realize smash was this advanced. Thank you so much for this
Best guides ever. Keep doing what you’re doing, your videos and quality are amazing.
Also plz do a Greninja guide next.
Arts I can't wait for
Art of Cloud
Art of Zelda
And
Art of Mewtwo 👌
Y fucking hate Zelda, but I'm waiting for Cloud's one too ;)
@@frankgrimito5821 because izaw will discuss her weaknesses
Art of Pac-Man
@@_CNT_ That too or I'd atleast hope he would cuz he never did it in smash 4
Art of Zelda? More like the art of the b button
Ive been waiting for this one, your guides are unparalleled and Link is by far my favourite character.
Thanks alot man
Masterpiece. Instant subscribe. I hope all of your vids are this quality
Very helpful. This is probably the most helpful video for extra tips on link I've seen so far.
My first smash main when I started playing in 2019, still my main today and I still learn things about him. Link is amazing!!
This Link guide is the most impressive Smash guide I've seen! I'm a Smash noobie, playing about a month now. So 90% of this information is lost on me. Hopefully I'll come to understand it over the next few months as I play 😁👍
This video was one of the first things I watched when I first played Ultimate. It's how I first learned to play Smash more seriously and now Link is my most dependable main. Thank you!
LINK GANG *master sword flies to hand*, ASSEMBLE
Love this series. Any chance Art of Zelda could be a thing? I know you made one for smash 4 and I'm hoping maybe it could be redone for SSBU!
This video is pure Rupee ! It's a truly awesome guide with clear demonstration and a LOT of knowledge. Thanks you very much for making this, i subscribed as soon as it was over
I won the first tourney i ever went to as link in jan 2022, now i shall be returning to the same tourney at the same place tomorrow to defend my title. This is the coolest shit I ever was part of lol I'm a champion returning to defend my title. I never thought I'd even be alive at this age, let alone having a main character ass moment like this. This video gave me a few more pointers but idk how much more I can learn after playing ultimate for over 5 years. I miss melee sometimes
Wow, your videos just keep reminding me how much there is to just one singular character, all of this is achieved because of your amazing video quality and polish, followed by detailed and on point visual presentation and script.
Really, amazing work.
P.S: Breath of the Wild's soundtrack is just gorgeous, isn't it...
5:02
Izaw: "Which is very precise and hard to do."
Me: *Laughs in dash attack*
Thank you Izaw!!!! I will now patiently wait for your series on the bomb and future Art of videos. You are by far my favorite channel for guides *whispers* (and memes). Also your Sm4sh Art of Link helped me improve in Brawl.
0:46 when Ganon tries to use up tilt in disadvantage.
Lol
Thank you so much for this tutorial man! These tutorials are amazing, keep it up!
I've been looking forward to this one. Thank you for getting to Link!
Great video. Automatically added to my Smash playlist.
Watching this reminds me how much one can really do with this character in Ultimate. I've mained Link since Brawl. No regrets. It's wonderful to see how he's evolved.
The Sheikah Bomb is the best thing that happened to him in this game. I can't wait for more videos on that.
You tutorials are superior. Your Smash 4 Ganondorf really helped me back then, so I'm hoping for an update on him.
Art of ultimate characters thank you so much, I’ve been waiting for this for so long
Link is going to be my main in smash ultimate, so every link video you do when it comes to tech is a god send. Thank you Izaw ;-;
I absolutely loved this. Now all I need is "art of young link" and "art of pikachu".
Link is your best character right? This is an awesome guide. Keep it up Izaw
Omggggggg!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
Also, you should mention that f smash at zero close range is stronger too with the beam.
And, thank you for making this, reallllly helpful
Incredibly comprehensive, awesome tutorial my man. I always felt like Link's skill cap would just always be super far beyond my reach. I'm inspired to pick him back up again!
I love how the bombs need their own videos, like they're a new smash character that's been added on to Link.
One of my friends mains Link so I'll be sure to show this to him! It's a good guide by the way! I don't play Link much, but I feel like I too learned a lot about from you in general! ^^
Thank you, Izaw, for all the hard work you have poured into Link and Smash research overall. When Sm4sh released, I was determined to figure out how to Link, despite having at the time no concept of how fighting games work. Not only did you give me much-needed guidance, but you also bolstered my faith in him when up against the terrors that were Sm4sh’s top tiers, and now, with this video, you do so again for Smash Ultimate.
I look forward to the next Art of... video. Thank you.
ITS FINALLY OUT!
God no other smash youtuber has even CLOSE to the level of polish and quality as you
Now I just have to wait 89 years until Art of Donkey Kong.
couldn't agree more, when smash ultimate came out I just waiting for these videos, because I felt like I understand characters way better
Thanks for making this video I have been wanting to improve my link and I know this guide will help.
dude your videos are basically what made me better at smash, you are hands down my favorite and the BEST smash youtuber.
I watched your smash 4 version so and it helped me play better.I'm glad that you made an updated version.Some of the stuff from 4 is still viable like the boomerang which I used since day one but I never realized how good nair is
Excellent work! Very detailed and gets me excited to play Link. :)
Funnily enough, these videos are called "art of", when these videos are works of art themselves. I love these so much, much love and respect to you and your craft!
Champion's ballad : *starts*
Me: TIME TO GET SERIOUS
For some reason I had assumed you made this video ages ago. So excited to watch this!
A combo I learned when playing link (only works around starting percent because it requires getting the sour spot which knocks your opponent back around 30% and above it does a good 33- 40%) fast fall nair (sour spot)>down tilt> forward air (may want to practice the f-air tho)
Really cool job w the screen grabs (pichu w an arrow in his chest and a bomb rolling towards him, for example)
The amount of detail you put into Link's N-air alone far surpasses most "eLiTe sMasH gUidEs" in their entirety. The quality of content and production shown in these videos is unlike anything else in the smash community. We all appreciate the hard work!
Aside from being straight to the point and extremely helpful i have to say what a great presentation these videos have, specially how yo chosed music from the character's game it makes very entertaining to watch!
When soft-throwing the boomerang up, if you walk forward so you don't catch it (making it curve downward), it bounces off the ground and goes almost straight up.
When hard throwing, and not catching it, boomerang goes through the stage. (both up or down)
I have no idea where this would be useful but there ya go.
I’d love to see a Luigi one, but I’m wondering if Luigi play would apply to the mario fundamentals of going about it
Your guides are the best on YT. I love your explanations and examples while commentating what options you have. Keep them coming, they're amazing. Also could you do one on Greninja, he's my fav 👍
Genuinely bought smash a few days ago and after watching this I won my first online tourney. I’ve played fighting games before and I’ve spent some time watching smash content for entertainment but it’s still pretty impressive how much this helps even a beginner.
Awesome as always, man!
The Arts series I’m looking forward to the most are:
Yoshi
Incineroar
and Toon Link
I had been having my doubts on Link lately, glad this video exists
I recently picked up link and I've been doing pretty sub par... but this tutorial has helped me a lot! (Like the mario one too)
Thank you for this video, i can start to understand new Link more, as i was too used to Smash 4 Link and cant play Yink due to his speed and light weight
You never know what videos will teach you global smash tech you weren't aware of previously. Thanks for letting me know I can double tap to walk out of dash with any character! Also the video was very enlightening and well constructed.
You can pop the bomb over when its stationary with a low nair and fake opponents with its change in movement. Its very subtle but surprisingly very effective cause moving it by throwing covers too much distance & grabbing and dropping it takes too much time. Its quick and unexpected for certain situations especially ledge trapping (perfect for more complex mind games). The placement and timing can be tricky but labbing it will help obviously.
I started following your channel when you did this same vido for Link on SB BRAWL. You made the Brawl scene a great one on your city because I popularized your videos and many people started learning your techs and style. I've got a lot to thank you man, you never know how much a piece of content you create can affect people elsewhere. Many friendships were made and a lot of fun times were had. Seeing this notification, The Art of Link (Smash Ultimate edition) makes me remember those times, and makes me notice how long I've been following your channel. Keep up the good work and keep going to tournaments in the west as you can. I'll keep following and supporting this channel however I can.
I’m pretty sure joker is the same with fast falls as link right?
Hey IzawSmash, I want to say thank you for explaining each thing you do , i'm ok at smash but not good, but the way you explain spacing and options is very nicely done, please continue as i hope to observe more!
If I’m correct, I remember fighting you online and I was DESTROYED by your Link and it lead me to your channel to tutorials where I declared you my master.
I hope to see you at Momo! Thank you IzAw.
I cannot wait for the Remote Bomb series! I love how it's Snake's C4 but you can move it. :)
But...c4 is a heck of a lot better
Thank you for this Izaw! I’ve been playing link since 64, and I remember watching you play him in Brawl, during those dark time, you were Always an inspiration! And what I learned from you let my Link hold his own in the local community! Thank you!
Would love to see an Art of Zero suit Samus.
Came around just as I started considering maining Link. Great guide lots to learn from
12:45 remote bombs are also a reliable ledge stall offensive tool
Wow I really like the new transition that you did on this video. Do you think you could do that with future characters.
Loving these videos.
As a suggestion, you may want to add a small text for the move you are covering currently, either only for a couple seconds or the entire segment. Your explanations are easy to follow, but when skipping through and searching for a particular section this might actually help a lot.
18:24 the reverse Uptilt is the most reliable follow-up from down throw at low % and is super easy if you buffer it by holding diagonally up behind on the control stick and A during the throw animation. Also some questionable examples of risky up B/Upsmash scenarios and a few things I feel like are missing. Still a lot of good stuff, tho.
Hey I wanted to know where I can find the Kass’ theme used in the video, the link in the description didn’t take me there and I’m interested in hearing that song alone
The best guides on the Internet has now touched one of my mains.
Can't wait for the Ganon guide.
Also would love to see an art of Robin! I loved how you chose to make guides for some of the less played fighters in Smash 4, would love to see Robin especially if you ever find the time! Thanks
