THANK YOU! I've been working my ZSS the past few weeks and I still search "Art of Zero Suit" despite knowing you hadn't made one yet lol I promise I'll come back for another class sometime soon! Been a couple years haha

[@Rowmson]

Thank you soooo much! I got a dedicated playlist with the art of any character I wanna main or put as secondaries. You did it a while ago for my second main, Wolf, and now my absolute main is covered! (so happy to see ORIO featured in this vid, an absolute beast of knowledge when it comes to ZSS) Gives me an opportunity to thank you for your hard and dedicated work, you're by far my most trusted Smash Bros channel. I know I'll learn and improve with litterally every video you're posting, even the ones dedicated to characters I don't play (know your enemies...). Sir, thank you.

[@victini_10]

loved working with you on this!

[@MatthewDuguay1134]

I'm a ZSS main who's stuck in a bit of a rut - This video opened up my eyes on the potential, it's like a whole new character again! Thanks!

[@likapitam]

The video I've been waiting for since I discovered your channel 2 years ago. Thank you Izaw !

[@wakkastow]

as a samus main i thank you dearly (you have taught me that zss is just samus but more physical)

[@bona3102]

Been waiting for this since smash 4. Great guide 💯💯

[@zach9529]

One more small thing that wasn’t mentioned - if you get a bury, you can use the sour/middle spot of side-b to hit them and then it will force them to do a bit of a hop back in what every direction you were facing once they escape the bury.

[@rippleboba]

i was just thinking about you making one of these last night! love the video :)

[@STAWBsOrio]

Here to make this video more... clickable ;-)

[@antonparas4782]

goated zss right here

[@antonparas4782]

people in the zss discord be like "i didn't know i should use backwards c stick instead of forwards when doing nair->fjk" and im like "stawbs covered that in his flip kick video already" :'( no recognition m8

[@dannyboi1679]

Your videos made me much better at ZSS, good to see you here!!

[@MasterSprintersan1]

Yes! My girl! Corny Marss jokes aside, ZSS is so much fun to play as, and also still really freaking good! Great video here like always, Izaw :)

Thanks for uploading this on my Birthday! I've mained her since Smash 4

[@ms.martian1729]

This video was amazing, and just what I needed considering I’m a zss main.

[@ahat4046]

FINALLY I've been waiting for this since day 1!

[@doxxblood]

Just started really messing around with ZSS last week and the first thing I did was head to KZbin and searched "Art of ZSS" but to my dismay there was nothing there. Little did I know Izaw was in the lab cooking up a tutorial just for me. God damn perfect timing.

[@deshawnthomas]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS FOREVER FINALLY MAYBE ILL LEARN HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY MY MAIN

[@rihalleo9229]

exactly what i needed! perfect!

[@maxpane26]

This character is so sick I couldn't stop smiling

[@wondrwaffleXD]

Been waiting for this since you asked for ZSS clips for the Art of. You’re goated, and I’m starving for that Art of Wii Fit 😏

[@n00blord14]

Style and substance. Thanks Izaw

[@MDTeach_FGC]

Youre a blessing for the smash community!

[@robertkruger5744]

Randomly played her today against my friends and I had a blast so I’m gonna dig in a bit, thanks!

[@dylburt49]

Thanks for the video Izaw! I play Link and I am thinking about picking up ZSS specifically for Falcon/Ganon matchup (mostly Falcon, its hard to keep up with his speed as Link). I was struggling to figure out how to get her flip kick to combo from... well anything, and the most helpful thing I didn't know was that you have to aim her foot. Also, I didn't see it in the video, but with her side b, you can hold the b button if you do it into a shield, and the have to respect the entire duration, and can lead into up air combos because instead of sending them out, it will send them above you :)

[@GING173]

Great video as always

[@mcgoo721]

The way you describe her playstyle makes her sound like a kung-fu master. I think this is my next character to learn!

[@kieranmehlig]

Izaw. I've been waiting my whole life for this. You sir. Are a god.

[@Theyellowflash6]

I've patiently waited for this

[@RKOJERR]

I been playing ZSS since Sm4sh (I’m no pro by any means) but I love how a lot of these I look at and be like “yepp!” 😂 awesome guide. Thank you 🙏

[@icebaby6324]

Maybe Marss will finally see the orio kick. $50 says he goes “that’s not even true”

[@Ajguahguah]

Oh yeah love these guides

Thx for the vod, izaw. You never fail to deliver

Zero suit has some of the most sauce in game

[@PrecludeLP]

[@SoralaxPlays]

Awesome video! I would like to humbly toss my hat into the request ring and ask that you tackle Peach / Daisy or Pokémon Trainer in an upcoming Art of, or perhaps even Wii Fit, if I dare to be bold.

Here for SPARTAZSS!!! Awesome video man

Man IZAW you are so great

[@cmcintyre2004]

Art of Bowser would be hype

[@theshadowspider97]

I'm glad u touched on held side B! I never see it used and I think it's kinda underrated...or ZSS players just forget it's there!

[@BasilicanMocha]

You made like 40+ guides and this before Marss made his long promised ZSS guide.

[@stupidw33b52]

I've had a really hard time with ZSS on quick play so i gave up a couple days ago but then this video drops.

[@wizardryyyy]

okay, clearly I've been using ZSS incorrectly. thanks for the quality content as always

[@luisreyes1963]

Excellent gameplay with Zero Suit Samus. 😍

[@clowntown2769]

I would like to see a Art of Ken because he has such complex moves and combos that would be perfect for this series to cover

[@MrNostalgic23]

Ayyyyeeeee let’s go!

[@Link-Ling]

Insane video! My Friend learn a lot of things from your video, i'm waiting patiently for an Art of Pichu :^)

[@aescling]

optimal DI on uthrow is down and away; you can survive MUCH later than 150% (though instant uthrow on approaches can force bad DI)

[@icetrey8662]

13:59 not a ZSS main, yet these are my goals

2 games and you finally do ZSS! 😂 So glad you did man

Awesome!!!!!

[@teacup2686]

Let's facking goooo. I have been waiting so long.

[@JinisBored]

Amazing

[@zydrate3539]

I love ZSS. She's so fluid and a great combo'er, but damn I think I've SD'd myself more times than I can count with her Dair. I'm pretty sure she always goes toward whatever direction she's facing.

[@SheruMuko]

Okay after watching this I am even more impressed by one of my recent opponents.

[@Takujaki]

What else helps against her in neutral besides parrying or having priviliged oos?

[@MAXXX1195]

4:58 Is there a name for those kind of movement with the laser ? i don't know how to do that and i'd like to learn

[@IzAw]

B reverse/wavebounce

[@luigipie5402]

13:49 Lol “di away and fall asleep”. People love doing that and I just go for the spike

[@gamermanzeake]

Very great video here! Very informative! I'm personally waiting for Arts of; King K. Rool, Ganondorf and Ryu! But while I wait, I appreciate the knowledge you pour into these guides. Not too many, if any on KZbin, have anything this full of Smash tactics, basics and levels of play.

[@yamsang0__0]

Flipkick starts working at 30 not 40. It depends obviously but 30 is usually enough

[@JonCom3dy]

Every time I watch one of these it makes me want to pick up the character

[@JB_CY]

Ooo cool Maybe it's just me but ZSS has always been a very weird feeling character to me. The people who make her work are great

[@Kai_pies]

This is every mans favourite character lol.

[@laserbeamlightning]

As someone who struggles AGAINST ZSS, this video is going to be very helpful

[@Takujaki]

hello there, I struggle against her too and I got about 4 of them in my local scene, did you find out her weaknesses by now? or is it just parrying and hoping she messes up?

[@laserbeamlightning]

I learned to outrange her basically. She's very good midrange and somewhat closeup due to the fast jab but if you can force her to approach, you're good. Always read the down B and space attacks properly because if not, you get met with Up B or a number of her options. I play Joker, and Min Min so both these characters have tools to pressure from a very safe distance. I don't play as much as I used to though and this is just what I remember @@Takujaki

[@Takujaki]

@@laserbeamlightning thanks for your input. Sadly she counters all my winconditions because I main Lucas. But I guess I have to get good at calling her out and trading her somehow in close range

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@Takujaki you have side B and a Zair of your own for air to air interactions. Use up smash for hard end of stock call outs for early kills at like 70-80

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@Takujaki run back at ledge instead of just down smashing for the two frame. She can drop down up air to fend off close range ledge camping. Neutral B ice offstage obviously

[@MrMKAST]

Art of Game and Watch needs to be a thing..

[@ddanyaa]

YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@sean5902]

was this video filmed pre nerf? I don’t think a lot of these combos are true anymore (might be wrong but it looks like pre patch zss)

[@user-pd2mp8nk5g]

I don’t know if you’re taking recs, but I think an art of donkey Kong would be fun, especially considering he just got buffed.

[@theblackbasketball]

Bless 🙏

[@21GMix]

People say this character is mid tier and then Izaw dropped a guide like "alright bet"

[@olso3110]

Hey Izaw! Could you make an Art of PT video? Either three part or one.

[@ssbuzeno]

[@ThirdEye_FGC]

Thanks for making this. My channel is almost exclusive Zss matchups, and will help a lot.

Marss has to watch this

[@MundiaLizm]

Anybody got the link to the Zero Suit Samus discord?

[@darkstalkersmash3893]

still waiting for art of ryu/ken/kazuya. zss is cool though.

[@justicetaylor3050]

As heavy as armored Samus is, Zero suit can still back throw to down b spike KO her at 70 percent. It's like everything Armored Samus does is just a cue for Zero suit to down B for a free bury. Occasionally my armored Samus will catch ZS with a fair, but I don't remember the last time I beat a really good ZS.

[@DX_3445]

FINALLY

[@error_1234]

Can we get art of sheik?

[@XH1tokiriX]

I’ve always said it, zss moves/combos when they land, are some of the smoothest and hypest moments in smash. I just wish she wasn’t so damned hard man (I fucking suck)
