[@fyzikal5]

Please do Art of Diddy Kong next

[@Rocky-cc3xs]

And Art of Terry please

[@blakeknightvos7867]

Honestly it’s about u do a art of outside of sword fighters

[@zayeer11]

Art of ness would be amazing

[@luisrosario3665]

Please Art of Ken

[@LordNebilim]

Art of making an epic come-back.

[@yeetskeet3]

Trueee

[@taylorbee4010]

All Ryu Does In every game he’s in

[@LimeNadoYT]

I don't even main Ryu but IM HYPED

[@khaidinh9046]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

[@edgarastorga5899]

I’m with you guys lmaooo

[@groudon2006]

I never thought about the concept of their jump mobility but its a nice attention to detail because in street fighter once you commit to jumping forward you can't move back

[@flamingpaper7751]

Correct: Ryu's Shoryuken strength windows are actually 1-3, 4-5, and 6+. 1-2, 3-4, and 5+ are the windows for Ken's

[@jonas162]

instructions unclear, won a local by spamming fireball

[@GreenLobsterMonster]

Bruh that’s how I feel. I recently joined my high school’s esports team, initially only joined rocket league but they needed more people for a full smash team so I joined. With over a year of no practice, I 2 stocked my first opponent twice to win the set of 3 easily and my main weapon of choice was fireballs and tastumakis

[@ojodeoro1106]

I love Ryu because I like traditional fighting games but the light medium heavy system makes me go insane

[@Malleo_3232]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!! As an exclusive Ryu main in smash, I’m super hyped!

[@pixelmorgaming398]

Even though I would probably never main some of the characters in these art of videos, they always make me want to, it's crazy. Great content 👍

[@ninjabladechannel8680]

Dude I remember practicing Ryu in the jank & salty *For Glory* sm4sh days. Felt like I was actually learning martial Arts, lol. I pretended people's combo videos were old scrolls a master was giving me. *bows* I can't wait to see if an old dog can learn new tricks.

[@ryan_raus]

16:38 one of the sauciest Ryu clips I’ve ever seen

[@a1marine105]

That was saucy that was bullying to the top degree lmao

[@demonight2]

Totally!

[@Aeros802]

Could not happen to a more deserving then that lame dlc char.

[@thevideogamemafia568]

I’ve played traditional fighting games for years and I played ultimate since release and the very fact sakurai implemented Chara cancels is insane

[@kish92]

I've been a ryu player since smash 4 and this was so refreshing and eye opening

[@ados1280]

Awesome. I waited since Smash 4 to see Art of Ryu. So happy to finally see it come to life. Only thing I'll say is: The only reason to use regular Neutral B instead of true input Hadoken, is cause the input for it is faster and easier. Sure you lose some damage, but you'll almost never misinput it, and you can react whiff punish with it with a little more wiggle room cause you don't have to do the stick input. Also Heavy Fireballs at mid range is unreactable so using that to your advantage in neutral is a key part of neutral. Allowing for conditioning. Just some thoughts. :)

[@dazeo4393]

i have almost 1k hours online just as ryu. but i really only use very fundamentals. i would say that playstyle is competitively viable especially for your locals. but you do have to learn more advanced stuff if youre up against anyone with decent mu knowledge. even with all my hours, i find the ryu discords ive joined are full of actual jerks who make the learning process hell. the only ways ive actually learned anything is through tutorials who all say the same things over and over. THIS tutorial is by far the best ryu tutorial ive ever seen. sure, it doesnt take very long to explain something like kara-cancelling, something i still struggle with. but it tells everything you actually need to know about the character, advanced or basic. and the BIGGEST PLUS for this tutorial is it tells you why you might choose a certain option and when its good. phenomenal work IzAw. even I learned stuff from this tutorial. and your wording for the things i did know was spot on and i wish i knew this stuff sooner. big props.

[@smash154]

Thank you, Izaw. I never knew about this. This will definitely make me a better Ryu player.

[@nep7939]

People think the SF characters are hard when they really aren't tbh. People should give them a chance

[@genaromorales6946]

These videos always make me feel like I'm gonna be a master lmao But I have been wanting to get good at Ryu and definitely gonna try to apply this stuff

[@amon8088]

Thank you!!! I have played Ryu at the Halmstad/Jönköping Ultimate events for a while now. This pointed out some stuff i didn't fully understand and gave me a couple of new ideas.

[@IzAwSmash]

Nice, maybe we can play in Malmö one day :)

[@amon8088]

​@@IzAwSmash Hell yeah man

[@ShinyGBZ]

17:16 HOLY SHIT I AM LEARNING THIS WHAT

[@TheKnightguard1]

Same man. My Peach friend is always teasing me that I should pick up Kazuya to win more. Wait 'til he Fairs into lvl 3 Focus this time 8)

[@CATLOAFMAN]

You content recently got me into smash I am so glad your back!!

[@Lagoon7]

it would also take me 7 months to learn Ryu

[@tinyt.w.i.m7291]

Nahh you sell yourself short lol Ryu will take about a week to fully understand everything It WILL take you a couple months to start winning, however…

[@NFYT]

@@tinyt.w.i.m7291 lmao

[@gapplssb]

U learn him yet?

[@AngelsandWolves1]

Salam IzAw, man, to wake up and see this in the news feed is definitely hype! This was packed with great information, excellent upload, and the SF5 music was a great touch! Can't wait to see the next upload!

[@solidmetaknight]

Ryu mains we up!

[@onoyango]

i was literally about to try and learn ryu, tysm!!

[@Vash614]

Yoooooo the new intro?!? Love to watch these art of videos man, excited for whatever's coming next!

[@DoritoTime]

Me learning after all these years that the shoryu input ends in DOWN right, not up right Maybe that’s why I’ve been so bad at inputting it

[@frankzhang1412]

really nice to see more ryu content

[@SachinPatel-fy8vj]

Im so glad you got your channel back!! 🙌

[@wookiecookie7543]

Art of Ken

[@chocolatechip2641]

z motion. that was the answer to consistent shoryuken and power dunk. i always tried to like, ride along the edge of the joystick and sometimes i'd just get other inputs. I feel dumb but it all makes sense now, thank you so much.

[@DGDShadowMemoria]

Your stylish of editing and explaining is amazing as always Izaw! I enjoyed your videos and Sub you a very long time ago from Brawl days. :)

[@jeanangelo98]

Loving the new intro animation! Great content as usual :)

[@jordonroy6574]

Bruh some of these clips are absolutely nuts. That Ryu vs Joker one was crazy asf

[@burger_will]

Very hyped to see a new "Art of"! Thanks for all you do!

[@alexz9775]

This video helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@Cadesworth]

Before this video, the FGCs always seemed very esoteric to me; I could never get the hang of them, even when I got the inputs down. Their gameplan was just too foreign to me as a smash player. This video goes over SO much more than the inputs, and it helps a lot. Thank you for demystifying these bois 🙌🏾❤

[@jonwhite7328]

I feel like my life has been missing these videos. Welcome back

[@ToshisGarden]

Love these tips and the Crash Bandicoot font for the percent!

[@gabrielfuret4852]

Great job doing this video, really appreciate it

[@SuperVada]

I walked this path long time ago as a Ryu main since Smash 4.

[@masterofcircles0587]

Was literally searching for this yesterday.

[@pupster202]

i think either ken or snake next would be great, there's not actually too many snake guides out there so i think your input would be helpful, same with ken

[@TheGravemistake]

You should look up poppinswiss for snake content!

[@cocoabluntz]

Took long enough I’ve been waiting for this

[@ginomartinez6485]

Yooooo cool new intro btw hope see art of Sonic soon gj n great vídeo dude

[@waltermelon4161]

Duuude love your content!!! Ever thought about doing an art of DK or Ness?

[@yoloswaggins2857]

I secondary Ryu and I feel like I learned a ton

[@RoninX-uo8uy]

This came out solid, good shit as always

[@IzAwSmash]

Thank you :)

[@tinyt.w.i.m7291]

My teacher! Your advice helps me in tournaments. Thank you.

[@flutterboypr6481]

Hell...yeah. Waiting for these for years.

[@mastertoki1]

One day art of snake will come

[@vlassispolitis-a]

Those are some sf2 looking combos, especially comboing into jumping heavies from crouching shorts. Generally Ryu in this game can combo off of attacks that you would never combo off of in street fighter, comboing off of far forward for example is nearly unheard of.

[@Balbradis]

Hope these come out more often I love them. Waiting for Ganon since the game came out.

[@lbesavant]

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED

[@Hyushi_sama]

Bro, I’m listening to this and all these tactics are ripped from street fighters holy snap l I never took in how TRUE he is to his game .

[@jsoft2]

amazing intro

[@azzlanvfx888]

YES IZAW IS UPLODING AGAIN!!

[@pavoman3]

Shout out to my man Mak the Knife!!!

[@scourge8143]

Ryu has the most beautiful combos in the game imo.

[@mangowett9967]

HES BACK BABY

[@horizon8618]

Ryu as you main you enjoy your time play for satisfaction with him like Nair into side b. Ryu takes work, skill,and patience and I like that.

[@Jahzz0]

I applaud the effort into this video. Ken next???

[@diversionuk4001]

this video is amazing, as expected at this point. no other resource like it. now PLEASE PLEASE DO KEN PRETTY PLEEEEEASE

[@lukektelfer]

Ryu's SF4 theme is so hype!!

[@tomfoolery2885]

When the world needed him most, he returned

[@yalebass]

izaw you really did me dirty in that intro 😭

[@omegaalpha3594]

Thanks for the video. I miss your content

[@PhireandIce1999]

Return of the king

[@-Ryu]

Now, With an understanding of my abilities. Go out there and Smash!!

[@jameselgin1334]

I will never play Ryu, however the videos are so quality I will always watch.

[@tinyt.w.i.m7291]

FGCs are a skill most pros don’t have. Give Ryu a shot. He’s easy to learn and difficult to master.

[@ryan_raus]

No way I’m HYPED

[@MD.1111]

I've been interesting in picking up ryu for a long time but to play well is so hard

[@billy2zenki]

thanks for the tips

[@djdrizzy9139]

Aw, what did Kirby ever do to Link? Lol. Nice intro.

[@TerryTheOne-WingedBogard]

I would say Ryu is really balanced. Some technicalities, but still well rounded

[@churle1]

thanks for the great content

[@SLQInc]

honestly a vid on the art of pichu or wario would be chill considering i kinda main both of them

[@Halofan11730]

Huh, and i was thinking of maining ryu. Anyways welcome back, been a while.

[@jReign007]

never thought I'd see the day we'd get a shoto vid

[@epistarter1136]

Finally I can learn them

[@securatyyy]

16:38 Omg that was the grimiest thing I've seen in a while

[@carmelair-head8008]

Bro; I thought u died…welcome back!!

[@Focus_20SF]

Welcome back bro

[@robertgeorge4602]

Playing Ryu is a lot of fun. But my execution is ass. L/M/H depending on button hold is something I suck at. Which is why I main Terry. And I miss certain parts of Smash 4 Ryu's kit, but Smash Ultimate Ryu does a lot really well and he really transformed. Great Guide IzAw!

[@DreamlandKing]

Art of OG Fighter Game Players

[@Scrap802]

Love when zaw posts

[@f.r3644]

You have GOT to mention negative edge. Really important and is the barrier to most people picking up this character.

[@ShadowLucas87]

I hope u can do an art of incineroar or Lucas next but all and all good video izaw

[@shadowbonbon3]

Whenever I try to do the fireball (the one made of actual fire) half the time I just end up doing down B or side B

[@wishesandbennett2372]

Nice new intro dude

[@YoMammi]

Whose clips did you use for the unnamed Ryu player? Those were pretty nasty set up/combos lol

[@ShiddyKong]

Great video!

[@joebiscit]

Whoa. There is A LOT!!!!

[@zachstarattack7320]

so excited

[@dk_boyblue]

TIL Ryu mains play 4D chess in all torunaments they partake in.

[@_CNT_]

Art of making that intro

[@rubenvandijk1158]

It's crazy how in depth this game can be

[@taylorbee4010]

I’m a street fighter and ssb player. No issue on inputs until platforms or weird backwards inputs come in😅

[@spiritualak5147]

Yes I love this can you do peach?

[@muddyanims6708]

17:18 Epic 😊

[@realchezboi]

FINNALLLYYYYY
