I personally like Samus' white alt more than her Dread armor but if they replaced her second alt (the one that looks like her dread armor) with the new one that would be sick
Your arts made my Link be astronomically better, and was just recently thinking of when were you going to make a Samus Art of. I have a feeling I will love this video. 🔥
Just to complete for full Charge Shot on hanging edge opponent. For Samus you can also hit (all during animation at the edge): - Mario - Dr Mario - Young Link - Wii Fit Trainer and for Dark Samus : - MinMin - Squirtle - Pirahna Plant - Banjo & Kazooie - Mii Brawler - Mii Gunner - Mii Swordfighter By the way, this is the most interesting and complete video about Samus ! Really nice job !
17:55 Even though you don’t verbally mention it, I’m glad you show that up throw is a good kill option in certain situations. You’d be surprised how often it comes in handy against heavies.
One thing you'll see a lot of if you watch quiK's Samus is how good her up smash is as an extension of her ledge trap game. The initial hit has a hitbox inside Samus's body, which can catch opponents as they roll in from the ledge. Her arsenal of ledge trap options makes her pretty good at conditioning their ledge getups, and up smash is a fantastic read punish.
Thank you for including the clip I sent you! :) Great work! I even learned something new, as I didn't know that Samus has 7 less frames of endlag if you hold down after a bomb.
There isn’t a lot of updated guides for Ultimate’s Samus, but yours is very clear and got a lot of super informations applicable at all level of gameplay! Super work as always!!
Solid ass video my dude I actually learned a thing or two. I’ve gotten pretty darn good but recently hit a wall especially with quick play higher tier opponents. I recently entered the 11,750,000 bracket in elite and it has shown me I’ve got some cleaning up to do when it comes to some of my moves. They charge shot cancel to teather is what I’ve been trying to figure out for like ever as well as grab into back air constantly. Thanks again man
Great guide. That bomb pressure offstage is awesome, but when you don't have the skill to do it, most of us short hop bombs off the ledge. Not as efficient though so I'll be practicing.
Samus has even more ledge options than the ones listed. Here's a few: -jump and immediately zair. This catches opponents standing at ledge-rolling distance, charging a smash attack. -jump and immediately charge shot. This catches opponents anyway, and is even safe against reflectors. Be careful with characters who absorb projectiles or charge with counters. -drop and screw attack, holding down. This catches opponents who stand at the edge and hold shield. Potentially shield breaks. -with most stages, you can go under the stage and grab the other side. This avoids major setups the opponent was trying to do. Be careful though - this counts as regrabbing the ledge, opening you up to a two-frame. -double jump, zair, and cancel the ledge grab by tapping down. This can catch your opponent off-guard, especially if they've been conditioned to you zairing the ledge and actually grabbing it. From there, you can up-b to ledge, air dodge, or punish them with an aerial. Obviously this is over a year after posting so people probably know this stuff anyway. Still thought this was a cool video though!
Your videos have all been incredibly helpful and informative! Do you think could add a small section on optimal shield break punishes? It feels like the only thing missing from these incredible guides Thanks for all the work you do and the professional quality of every video!
One thing I would have liked to see mention is how her charge shot's release from mid charge is the fastest. Being Frame 3 means that your opponent literally could never hope to get away with neutral get up and roll at ledge without being caught on reaction with ease. This conditions them to wait out your charge entirely or jump predictably. Conditioning them to wait out charging at the ledge just to cancel into dsmash, dtilt, utilt, or another bomb at ledge is very strong.
One thing i would suggest Samus players do with bomb is pressure platforms by quickly jumping on them, dropping the bomb and then sliding off as the morph ball animation ends. That way they can pressure the platform and the space under it with an aerial at the same time.
You can also fast fall through the platform, then lay a bomb while you're passing through it. If you time it right the bomb will be on top of the platform and you'll land below it.
I've been watching this video and the zss one over and over and now I actually hear your voice while I'm playing. You sir have earned yourself a new client . I know feel like I have a strategy when I'm playing.
The best thing about this particular Art of, not including competitive players but it shows how so called Samus mains don't fully take advantage of her skills, I'm not great with Samus but many times I've challenged myself to not rely on her projectiles and see how much I can do and honestly I never knew her charge shot could have so many combo options because all I ever see people do is charge shot to grab
A little known difference between dark samus and samus is that dark samus' missiles spawn slightly farther away from her than samus. It's not much, but it makes homing missiles slightly faster at reaching opponents with dark samus, useful for platform tech chasing
I learned how to play Samus in a single night. Not extremely well and polished, but well. My buddies didnt want me playing her anymore. I could keep both Little Mac and Sora off the ground and map. They got me all the way up to like 335% or something, and I continued to move back onto the map. Samus's maneuverability is unmatched with the morph ball. I do wish we got a DLC skin for her Dread outfit and Metroid Suit. I adored the Metroid suit.
Its technics like this is the reason why Samus is more respected amongst cheese zoners. Art of Palu also preety cool with the teleports but there is cheese thre though. teleports are risk asf.
This sounds a lot like I play but with tons more bells and whistles. I had no ideal about the subtle control bomb rain at ledge. I don't attempt b reverses cause online lag might make it not worth the misinput risk, but i do double jump forward air attack suddenly to catch high opponents even while charging and drifting back in mid air. I play around the same stregths of ledge trapping and threatening with charge shot. I might just have to try loads of cheeky stuff seen here like sniping from below ledge from the opposite end of the stage.

I wish Sam got an alt skin for Dread, the new suit is *chef’s kiss* tier.
well Nintendo says that Sora is the last DLC character, but they say just that though, perhaps some Skin Dlc?
@@Ghosthand97 I doubt it, but even if it happens they’ll probably make us pay for it, which is not worth it to me.
There is a dread skin mod. :p
I personally like Samus' white alt more than her Dread armor but if they replaced her second alt (the one that looks like her dread armor) with the new one that would be sick
Same, the dread gravity suit is 👌
4:00 every online Samus learning that they can interact with the opponent
lmao
LOL
Believe it or not, I needed to be taught how to zone with her. My samus is just too aggressive.
@@neko_knockout feel it, I’m still more aggressive than not, but I can slow way down and really grab my opponents by the nuts with flow switching
@@stinker1822 exactly what I'm striving to do 👌 would love to have a match some time

Exactly. I discovered this after long enough and racked up loads of ledge roll up smash kills, even on a few shorties.
Man I can't tell you how good it feels when you see someone as amazing as you noticing our names and teaching is how to use them.
Thank you for including the clip I sent you! :)
Great work! I even learned something new, as I didn't know that Samus has 7 less frames of endlag if you hold down after a bomb.
fun fact: samus could be the female equivalent of seamus (the irish form of james/jacob)
there are islands called the aran islands in ireland
Are you from Ireland? I've always wanted to travel there.
@@DueNorthGaming no
@@hatsuneblacktrousers interesting. But its still cool that you know that
Samus really did just used to be a regular (albeit rare) name.
@@DueNorthGaming ireland is amazing and beautiful and top 10 best countries
(Totally not biased)
This video isn't just a showcase of Samus tech, but how amazing the Prime OST is.
And it's crazy that many Prime 2 and 3 themes didn't make it in to Ultimate. Rundas' theme was amazing.
Is there a track list for the video? these songs are sick
2:50 is why I love Art of Smash series. Learn something new and useful Everytime! Thank you again Izaw!!
These videos got me into competitive smash. So great! Would love to see an art of Peach...
There's a ton out there
@@Gamerrelm1.0_relm yeah, but I really like how Izaw explains things!
Trust me the Art of Peach/Daisy would be 45 mins+ because of all the uses for float, JCFF, and the use of items
I’d wish he’d do it for peach
8:58 you choose one of the greatest Metroid tracks of all time! Props to you
Yeah!! Whats the name of this song, need to know x_x

I'm not even 2 minutes in and the segment on using the morph ball as a recovery option has changed my life
Great guide. That bomb pressure offstage is awesome, but when you don't have the skill to do it, most of us short hop bombs off the ledge. Not as efficient though so I'll be practicing.
always have respect for someone who uses music from the games she comes from, especially the prime games. nice video
Just in time for Dread!!!😂
Was hoping for this for awhile thank you so much
Nicely done! Stoked that one of my clips made it in :-)
that morph ball recovery was smooth. hadn't thought of that!
I’ve been waiting for this art for so long long! Thx so much!
I've been waiting for this for literally 2 years. Awesome footage :)
Great character guide. You actually explain the character properly.
Missed the opportunity to have Samus win the intro lol
Great vid Izaw I love the arts
I've waited for this video for ages thank you so much
0:31 The art of ✨💗SAMUS💗✨ (and Dark Samus)
My b. I just like rooting for the good gal.
@@STAWBsOrio It’s an amazing intro! :D I just made a dumb joke
@@silvesta5027 ❤️
"You'll have to interact with the opponent"
Online Samus: Has a mental breakdown
Reflect is that you?
Are you telling me that Samus can't land that good because of the weight of the power suit? Somebody has been playing Metroid.
Wake up honey, it's another Art of Ultimate video!
5:36 dude that link costume is lit! 🔥🔥🔥
holy heck dude, where the heck are you getting these remixes? theyre so good

Yes! Been waiting for this tutorial for a while now!
Awesome video as always! I'm wondering, in what order are you doing these guides? I can't wait for an Art of Sheik or an Art of Pac-Man

This was great! I'm a Samus main and this was very helpful

I've been watching this video and the zss one over and over and now I actually hear your voice while I'm playing. You sir have earned yourself a new client . I know feel like I have a strategy when I'm playing.
I'd love to see "Arts of" videos for characters in other fighting games as well. A guide video Guilty Gear Strive would be awesome :)
This was an amazing video. I tried a few of the techniques but they're so hard to pull off. It just speaks volumes about your skill.
“Your not schmooving your schmooving away from me”
Been waiting for this one. Great job dude!
i really like the soundtracks you chose, very interesting video
i needed this
Izaw: uploads a new Art of video
me: looks like I have a new main
I hate that they picked this streamlined suit design from other M.
I want the bulky shoulders from prime
Ah the Varia upgrades.

Por fin un video de mi Main. Gracias Izaw, eres un crack del Smash Bros Ultimate.
been waiting for this forever. thanks!
I knew about you because of the first Art of Samus. I'm gonna love this one too.
Am I the only one who was hoping that for this Art of Samus he brought back the saucy female voice actor who did his Smash 4 Art of Samus? 😂
I wish! It was the first video I saw for competitive Smash! It was so cool to hear her saucy voice saying how to "punish" others.
A little known difference between dark samus and samus is that dark samus' missiles spawn slightly farther away from her than samus.
It's not much, but it makes homing missiles slightly faster at reaching opponents with dark samus, useful for platform tech chasing
These "Art of.." series deserve a lot more attention from players looking for insight on Smash. Very comprehensive indeed..

Commenting for the algorithm, love everything you do Zawman
Top notch tutorial. I'm a Samus main. This was gold
The best samus guide ever made 💯🙌🏽✔
I am a simple man. I see an Art of video, I like comment and Subscribe. Also, well done getting this out in time for Dread!
These Art of videos are always well done. Great breakdown. I learn something new every time about a character. Thank you.
FINALLY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I am glad to see Art Of Samus is done, Keep up the good work! Strong Fan of Samus right here.
Great in-depth as usual Izaw. It'll help people practice good habits and expand how they play her. Good timing as well!
Amazing, I never knew Samus could look so flashy
One thing not mentioned, Samus' forward smash has a deceptively long range, if a Samus is charging a forward smash, try not approaching from the front
Ty Izaw! Been a Samus main since the first smash bros game. You rock for these vids
Let's GO I was looking for it 5 days ago !
Samus is one of my favorite video game characters. I’m glad she kicks ass in competitive smash as well 😊
I wish people abused the power of reg missles
There it is. Thanks!
I didn’t know Samus had so much swag, dayum this character is cool
Yes! I finally know how to get around my brother when he plays samus
Amazing guide dude thank you very much ! 😁 It helps a lot !
short hop forward air drag down into grab or jab, works more than you think it would.
I asked God for a sign because I need to learn how to use Samus.
This video appeared out of nowhere.
Thanks for existing.
Finally I’ve been waiting to learn/beat this character
How do you cancel charge shot with grab? When I try to grab while charging it just shoots the shot
Samus is probably my most played and I had no idea about the trick for saving frames on bombs lol
your arts videos are awesome man, we need a art of mewtwo
Thank you for the amazing work i love the art of series❤️❤️
So is the difference between Samus and Dark Samus negligible, or does it make one better than the other?
People say Dark Samus is slightly better. But considering Dark Samus is a copycat alien it makes sense.
Samus is such a technical character. Very cool!
That's so cool!
I really want an art of Mewtwo tho :(
Nice vid man, thx!
Its technics like this is the reason why Samus is more respected amongst cheese zoners. Art of Palu also preety cool with the teleports but there is cheese thre though. teleports are risk asf.
Hell yea, I’ve been waiting for this. I’ve been doing great with Samus but I wanna take her to the top so this’ll be great
Waited so long for this one
This man needs more credit for the effort put into his work
I was waiting for this vid
Thank u, i think ill main her for a while now
Never stop making these
Nice I'm early! Even though I don't play samus
Edit: Ok after watching some Samus real tech with smooth gliding combos, I am playing Samus!!
This sounds a lot like I play but with tons more bells and whistles. I had no ideal about the subtle control bomb rain at ledge.

I've been waiting for this, hahaha. An art of Samus video! You really have a talent for explaining things. 😁
I needed this to beat a friend who mains samus
and what are the best maps for samus?
Maaaan Just as soon as I pick up Samus this banger drops. I'm eating tonight!
