If you pick the pink DK it changes his damage to fairy type.

U are the GOAT Noodl 🦍

[@Itamaxification]

You're insane

[@jlachman381]

I still don’t understand why your videos don’t get more views these days. Amazing quality.

[@chignonn]

Probably just the lower viewership with smash in general since it’s been out for so long now

[@oussamabekk1108]

[@FloetryFox88]

As a long time DK main of over 20 years, it's actually great to see a video that actually doesn't try to downplay DK at all! Great job fam 💯👏🏿

[@sebaschan-uwu]

All the heavy weights are way overtuned in smash ultimate. Including incineroar. But everyone is stuck on the heavyweight = bad mindset because they were bad in every other game.

[@calvinnguyen1870]

It’s pretty important for DK to know how to wavebounce down b. It’s one of his only real mix-ups when landing and it can combo into a kill at the right percents.

[@spiritualak5147]

Yep I use it all the time although it’s easier to do on a pro controller than GameCube.

[@JamesHarrison687]

@@spiritualak5147how do you do it

[@brentlayne7685]

​@@JamesHarrison687input reverse down b then immediately swivel the left stick back in the opposite direction like you're b reversing

ART OF KROOL, he truly deserves it. It would be so kool!

[@miaumiau1867]

Hahaha, hell yeah

Krool ❤❤

Patiently waiting for the Art of KRool, yah.

The way I've been WAITING FOR THIS!!!

[@kirbee1113]

Great Video as always IzAw! Been waiting for this one for a long time. :)

[@AngelsandWolves1]

Another beautiful Art of. Well done IzAw 💯

[@deantyoowon6439]

I noticed you started to cover the big guys. Always appreciated.

[@jc76109]

Good stuff! I love this series. Can't wait for more.

DK combos belong in the Museum of Modern Art

[@Horfact]

YES IZAW THANK YOU FOR THE DK REPRESENTATION

[@MeesterTweester]

🦍 DONKEY KONG DECEMBER 🦍

[@MetalMusicMan]

Great stuff as always!!!

[@dawsondegraaf8143]

FINALLY!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@fatherrussiaisyourking1442]

This was really good, but man he missed out on including DK’s new tech. That kind of sucks ASK, drop off ledge C-bounce ariel down b to safely get on stage, grounded hand slap ledge slip for easy ledge trumping…DK’s got so many new weapons other than cheese

[@Ghosthand97]

Was waiting for Art Of DK since January, it was good to see some DK magic

[@takkiemon]

Another Izawsmash dropped, let's goooooo!

[@localnekonia6830]

HAPPY DAYS I NEED THIS

[@LordNebilim]

Fun fact : now we have an art of smash ultimate for every character that was part of the original cast of 8 on N64 (without unlockables)

[@tmtv2234]

I love using and this video helped out a lot. Thank you

[@chillarttalks]

well done!

[@hawaiiboyg7143]

Another very good guide! Would like to see a lucario guide next plz :]

This is incredible!! I am so excited for art of ROB

"I'd shower with coconut cream pies" -Donkey Kong Jr. 1996 This is a thing every time izaw uploads a new art of video

[@TheElzerOner]

FINALLY! I'll study this to death

[@silvazuao]

LET'S GO

[@tdm-ty]

I think “The Art of Sheik” would be an amazing. With all of her potential combo routes, confirms, and tech, that would make a very informative video.

[@danystone]

i have a whole year waiting for art of sheik 😢.

[@Allan8a]

As a Sheik main I second this.

[@sed5185]

goat ty

[@dongzuyamishikong]

Thank you

[@dragonknight1766]

A ledge option that DK can do that I didn't see get mentioned was drop off airel upb. It's one of his fastest options from drop off and if the opponent is shieldeding. It will shield poke large/tall characters.

[@dragonknight1766]

Another thing I noticed, DK back air is disjointed like a mfer, so for edge guarding, it trades or wins against lots of characters up b to stage. Doing this works super well on cf, ganon and corrin. DK can also drop off, drift in the stage and double jump back air opponents who want to scale the wall with their up b. This works well on charcters like Bowser, Wii Fit and Little Mac

[@yadielgarcia1772]

I'm glad that u keep this saga of "The Art of". Id like to see Diddy Kong

[@sofianaba5761]

Jazakallah khair video about my main after shahada❤

[@jonjonbrady7695]

HE IS BACK

[@Horfact]

Art of Ice Climbers would be great due to how complicated they are

[@TheSharkAnt]

Donkey Kong is here!

[@kpthezealous8532]

This video makes it sound like DK is top tier, which I love, the only I hate about DK is that he's killed by any Corrin main

[@CoolRacoon64]

An "the art of peach/Daisy" would be nice

[@darealgautruc]

Idk if it's possible, peach/daisy are pretty complex imo

[@likenoother6561]

complex doesnt mean impossible tho? @@darealgautruc

[@spiritualak5147]

Yea I asked him an another vid it would be some work it’d be a blessing for izaw to do it his character breakdown the best 💯

[@vortex8988]

I missed these

[@drzonlyjonas323]

FINALLY

[@Red_PlaysYT]

Art of shulk would be great to see next! Btw your videos are really good and learning about dks gameplan was very interesting

[@xxMaki]

Hard agreed 👍 SHULK

[@julo_ghost]

I'd like to see Ganondorf. With the rise of Major, it's about time for him to shine

[@PassTheSnails]

He has already done an art of ganondorf video. It’s for Smash 4, but almost all the information still holds up because of how little ganondorf changed.

[@ballantyne7349]

Got a Kong vs Godzilla ad before watching this… very fitting

[@offdeez21]

Best designed character in the game no cap

[@rafaelblackman9879]

Art of Mega Man or Art of Pac Man would be really interesting, since both characters can do a lot with their projectiles.

[@GoTE_DocShock]

Just in time for Donkey Kong December!

[@Roses_yt17]

This is awesome, would love to see an art of joker (as a joker main I need help) but dk is awesome and I love all these art of videos

[@alfredpeverly2093]

Methinks you may have undersold just how bad his disadvantage can be, but yeah. DK is a good time. Definitely a great character to flex on noobs with 😂

[@Miimu5210]

Please, please do one on Game and Watch!

[@jackogoeswacko4smackos]

A whole section on the Ding dong!!

[@DoritoTime]

I used to play DK a lot more, but it feels like every time I pick him, I get a gauntlet of Isabelles and Samuses on elite smash

[@Pichulover69]

I love big dumb heavies, but I would love to see a guide on Pichu next, as all the current Pichu guides were made before everyone dropped him because of the nerfs, so they’re outdated. Could be some new information about Pichu these days that I think you’d be great at showing.

[@andrewboatman669]

FINALLY!!!!!

[@hotheadjabz3543]

Sick to see my N-air D-air clip Vs Flow (Inkling) in Bracket made it in.

[@rissamatrices]

I'd love to see an art of Peach/Daisy, these videos are great!

[@plabcentral630]

This guy is actually IZAW

[@dogboyton3166]

DK is just hilarious. I know because my friend plays him and reminds me not to underestimate the low tiers

[@dangelorolle3397]

I used to main DK. Won alot of my locals with him, but after a while, he just became combo food. He has an amazing advantage but disadvantage just isn't worth it.

[@NolmanZ]

I think that, with the recent Miya exposure, it would be interesting to have a G&W episode, as I think that the character is deeper than we might think

[@CasualSalato]

Would have been nice to see "ASK OOS" I know it is fairly new but it is incredibly helpful. Chunky has a tutorial if anyone wants to learn it.

[@ICYoyoLamar]

Donkey Kong December.

[@AkiraYanky]

Art of sonic !!

[@Shaheemswaggedout]

🔥🔥🔥

[@luisayllon3467]

Finally! The day has come my monkey brothers. Assemble. Izaw. U are the best. Love how u showed Noodl clips. Noodl has the craziest DK ever 🦍. Now we need KK Rool 🐊

[@agentjp106]

He's the leader of the bunch, and after this video we will know him well

[@Novastopper]

You should do art of mewtwo I love the videos

[@PBJKasugano]

other names for this video Art of DK BK or Art of Noodl

[@karmore17076]

I’m trying to master characters like K rool and Donkey Kong, it’s for an esports event and this will help.

[@Dr.Azalel]

Nothing feels better than beating a swordfighter as DK

[@bby7630]

Excited to see Diddy Kong

[@floatyboi3454]

Can you make a video on Ridley like this!? Cuz this is very well made

[@Sm4sher-Vader]

Another awesome Art of video! I know a couple of friends of mine that play DK will certainly enjoy this lol Praying for either Art of Banjo & Kazooie or Art of Wario 🙏

[@luisayllon3467]

Banjo and KK Rool for sure!

[@ElariaFlori]

He’s already made an art of Banjo if I’m not mistaken

[@ElariaFlori]

Just checked and he hasn’t made one for Banjo. My apologies

[@lovingspacefan3795]

Though this is a very good video, and really interesting, I will say down through is good for tech chases, though cargo down throw is probably better.

[@latinajoseph]

9:57 in my house this is dubbed the infinite blender

[@JackOfSpadesYT]

Art of DK!! I've been looking forward to this one :) As a DK Enthusiast. I Only have 1 thing to say... DK BK! DK are you gonna eat BK when you win this? Burger King d- donkey kong eating Burger King BK. He’s eating unlimited burgers! After he wins BK. DK! BK DK is eating BK... when he wins this. Joker... donkey kong is versing joker. Are you gonna unleash the demon ra- GGs Donkey Kong got this. Who does? ...Who's Vince?

[@omegafreddy12]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about ask oos. It's become a pretty competent tool with optimization to give DK more options against pressure.

[@purpsheik2975]

What is ask oos

[@omegafreddy12]

@@purpsheik2975 aerial spinning kong. If you input a short hop up b it basically gives dk a great oos option

How do you turn around neutral b?

[@nanodragon0123]

What is the difference between turning around a neutral b and b reversing it?

[@shadowsun3422]

Make an updated steve video with stuff like phantom states and other new tech

[@praetorian217]

Seeing DK have intangibility on his arms and head during most of his moves just makes me wonder why Mewtwo is the only character that has a hitbox on a body part
