Hey Izaw! I don't mean to be a bother, but I can't find the document link for up throw up air kill percent in the description. Do you still have that link by chance?

[@mayisthebestfr]

No Izaw stop we already made inkling go down the tier list stop single handedly making everyone get better at the character with these godlike guides

[@O2Switcharoo]

@@GoTELuckyCharms He was just joking about how Inkling went down the list a bit while complimenting Izaw on how useful his guides are to viewers (If I'm wrong, feel free to woooosh me). On a mildly related note, his videos really are pretty useful, lol.

I don’t play Inkling but now I better understand the character. I learned that if you tech after an inkling knocks you away, you’ll get buried. If you miss the tech, you won’t. That’s very very helpful.

[@eaa1338]

Tiny T.W.I.M no you will still get buried if you don’t tech

[@dresean3725]

You have to mix it up. Not teching too often can lead into an ex jab reset

I don't know if this was intentional, but I feel like your voice is more energetic in this video, which pairs really nicely with the more energetic music in the background. It's a really nice touch

Hey DFS Shusa I know this was a year ago. But I'm curious how you thought of your name? It seems really creative, and I am having a difficult time thinking of a good name for me lol. So ye :)

[@dfsshusa6354]

@@LilRacoon123 Hi no name! Thank you for replying to me, I appreciate that you think my name is creative. Well, DFS stands for Dreaming Fantasy Smash/Splat, it's a Smash Bros. and Splatoon 2 club that I created in 2016, for Shusa, I combine the name of my favorite Smash fighter "Shulk" with my nickname "Isa" so it became Shu-sa, you see. I always thought the name is kinda silly lol. Again thank you so much! I hope u find an amzing name soon!

[@LilRacoon123]

@@dfsshusa6354 Omg that is so cool! I see! So you combined Shulk and Isa to get your name. I have heard of how people combine two things to get a cool name and I think that is a perfect example of that. Along with the initials of your club :0. Also, Thank youu I do really hope I can aswell! :D

[@LilRacoon123]

@@dfsshusa6354 Update! Umm so I am not 100% certain, but I think I may have a word I like. I am not sure if it is fine on its own, or if I should combine a word with it. But it is.. Astro :D What do you think?

[@dfsshusa6354]

@@LilRacoon123 It sounds really cool! I think it's an amazing name for a gamer, it's unique since I haven't heard any other player who also use this name. It has the "pro" feeling attached to it. Great! You thought of a marvelous name at last, I'm so happy for you :) Well done, Astro!

amazing tutorial, im maining inkling since day 1 and made a couple of combo tutorials myself and still you teached me a couple of things i didnt realize before, great work

[@lugiagalaxy3849]

rly hyped for this!! have been wanting to learn inkling for a while and your guides always help make everything super clear and easy to pick up!

[@adooly]

You forgot to mention that the Splattershot acts like some sort of windbox against both Chrom and Ike's recovery, but I'm not sure if it gives a free kill every time.

[@Sashisan]

Finally my main! It's never too late buddy! Thank you !

Best inkling guide till now... so good and detailed that almost covers Splatoon2 ad well

This series has helped me out a lot with a variety of characters! I hope you can make more content like this in the future. Thanks, and stay fresh!

[@matthewjones6786]

Such a great character, from concept to execution. I still can't believe they managed to work in ink sticking to the stage and fighters, just like in Splatoon! Excellent guide as always, Izaw!

[@dragodadragon]

I've absolutely loved your Art Of series since the Smash 4 days, and this is one of the best you've made. When you get around to making Art of Incineroar I'd be more than happy to help, my Wrestle-Cat has gotten pretty clean and I won around five sets in bracket with him a couple days ago. Also for future videos I would suggest trying to include the tags of the players whose clips you used in the UI to match how it appears in sections with your Inkling. While I noticed contributor's names in the corner they struck me as pretty easy to miss. Hopefully that change wouldn't be too much of a pain, I don't know much about editing. Can't wait to see what comes next!

[@salj.5459]

This is PERFECT. I literally decided to main Inkling yesterday and was gonna look up guides and then I saw this... thanks Izaw! 😃

[@Roller610]

5:07 something else I would like to add for fellow inkling mains, if you’re against a new opponent during a set test this out one time and see if they get hit by it, use it from ledge if possible when they’re ledge trapping, if it succeeds use it as a mixup for later if you’re in pressure but if they shield don’t use it again. Remember to not make a habit of it but keep it as an option

[@davidasellem1311]

God, I watch many tutorials for inkling but these one gives exactly what I'm looking for : how to properly land your attacks on shield and how to follow up. I mean the other I watched didn't explain how inklings options work that well. (I watch Armada and Cosmos guide + some randoms ones) Thank's a lot !
