I love it when he picks underrated characters as makes other players want to play them creating a larger viarity of enemies instead of high tiers, fire emblem characters (except for Robin) and Jigglypuff
I love your chuckle 20 minutes in speaking about ding dong. You switch between being professional and casual very well. I am training with DK now that this is out.
This was a nice birthday present. I've been looking for how you'd "teach" my main, Donkey Kong. I've watched your other videos, and they've helped me progress as a player. Thank you Izaw.
DK's has a "dash dance" like Falcon's! This helps DK so much in many match-ups and gives him lots of good mix-ups! Besides that, great guide! I learned a few new things for my DK!
I’m good compared to an average player (someone that knows most of the fundamentals) but against pros I’m ass. And I’m kind of limited because I don’t have wii u but a 3ds
I just want to say the quality of your videos and the standard of your uploads are fantastic and something I don't really see on TH-cam at all. I barley play smash at all but even I'm 100% invested to each one of your videos. Great work man
A lot of these combos and setups I already know about but have yet to start learning or practicing them. There's some stuff in here I've yet to try though but definitely will start doing in the future. Great video as always
I use full hop F-Air as bait / mix-up on-stage. If you input the attack just as you jump (can't remember how that was called), you actually have a couple of frames left to either jump out of the way or land without lag, whereas people usually expect you to land with lag.
If ever there is a proper Hall of Fame for Smash, Izaw is probably the most deserving content creator to be inducted. The quality and depth of the content he provides to the community is nothing short of astounding. And I mean, this is truly work. The editing, the research, film capture and planning that goes into making such a cohesive presentation is no doubt time consuming.
Such beautiful analysis as usual. I always refer my friends to your videos above any other tutorial. I can tell so much work is put in to these and I can't wait until you get art of villager. (Assuming you will eventually cover the whole cast)
Other thing to add. Dair on most fast fallers around 10% is a really small bounce that can lead into a jab lock. Especially if you bait an attack with the first jump.
Not sure if you know already, but Sonic has a neat technique that you could definitely showcase in your next "Art of Sonic" video. While dashing, Sonic can press side special and quickly b reverse. You can put your shield up immediately after turning around, which essentially gives Sonic a b-reverse grab. It's a neat mix-up and I don't see any players use it. Great videos by the way!
4:50 how come i cant do it when i start with dk facing to the right? Fix: In training i had to put mario up to 124%. You cant use dks shoulder so its weaker. Falco seems to be an exception to this. I gotta keep experimenting.
...Izaw I fucking love you. I have no clue how you’re making these videos so damn fast, but I love it. Also lucky me wants a pocket DK, so bless you for making this with such convenient timing! ❤️
Pretty sure normal down throw can be used for setting up tech chases at low-mid percents. It's also good if you get a grab and they're more than 2-3 pummels out of ding dong range. DK's worst throw is probably normal up throw or cargo forward throw.
You are the best at doing what you do and you are somehow still improving as well! I love all the attention to detail when it comes to showing off hitboxes, optimal DI, character combo percentage charts etc.
Art of ryu would be dope, just because of his sheer amount of moves and combos, plus he has a solid amount of kill confirms and his special inputs would be a cool thing to go over all in one video
Great video, only missed a matchups part. DK is a bit unreliable as a solomain (doable however) but he's arguably one of the best counter picks in the game together with Bowser. It's just that characters that zone you out are really difficult to beat. Especially characters like Tlink, Link, Samus, Villager, Greninja, Bayonetta, Megaman, Wii Fit, Sheik and ZSS. Other than that DK goes even with everybody at least or wins.
I'm the only one to have landing lag when I'm doing the double jump airdodge from the ledge, it seems there is not enough time to do the bair, what I'm doing wrong? Please explain me how to do it right, thanks !
Smash 4 DK easily has the best design and tournament balance of all the heavyweight characters in Smash’s history. I hope they can do the same for characters like D3, K.Rool, and Bowser in Ultimate.
DK, Donkey Kong!! He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well, he's finally back to kick some tail, his Coconut Gun can fire in spurts, if he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt, he's bigger, faster, and stronger too, he's the first member of the DK crew!

Your 'Art of' series is possibly the best and most informative series on TH-cam for ANY videogame.

PleaseDoNothingToTheCook ur missing out on some fun dude
I actually picked up DK as a secondary because of this video...
Proud to be a dk main! Didn’t think I would learn anything new from this guide but I did; really well put together
o
Yooo, we rolling out the Art of Smash videos this quick? Helllllll yeah.
Sooner than expected. Love it.
I love it when he picks underrated characters as makes other players want to play them creating a larger viarity of enemies instead of high tiers, fire emblem characters (except for Robin) and Jigglypuff
Romnia he's picked a lot
If you’re talking about DK you’re just straight-up wrong lol
Rohan C. I don't see many DK players
Romnia yeah I see a lot of Ganondorfs too but I just didn't want to include all of the over played Characters
Your videos are so well done, i actually watch them with no intention of playing the character :3
I love your chuckle 20 minutes in speaking about ding dong. You switch between being professional and casual very well. I am training with DK now that this is out.
These are some of the best character guides I’ve seen on TH-cam. Can’t wait for Sonic.
Finally I can shower for glory in coconut cream pie
Anime Legend im dead
Holy cow, when you said Art of DK was coming soon, you weren't kidding!
THE LAST ONE CAME OUT JUST TWO WEEKS AGO YOU BEAST
Thank you!!
You are pumping these out so fast, yet the quality remains pristine! Are you human?
You never cease to amaze me with your in depth knowledge of both the game and its characters. Keep making these excellent guides Izaw.
Yo this was really good! Was also shocked to see myself there :D
This was fast but I love DK and I want to learn more from Izaw so I accept this offer from God.
This was a nice birthday present. I've been looking for how you'd "teach" my main, Donkey Kong. I've watched your other videos, and they've helped me progress as a player. Thank you Izaw.
"Hmm, I'm bored. I know! I'll go master another character!"
DK's has a "dash dance" like Falcon's! This helps DK so much in many match-ups and gives him lots of good mix-ups!
Besides that, great guide! I learned a few new things for my DK!
Are you an actor? Your annunciation is perfect and you can quickly change from serious to casual
DK’s eyes pop out when he’s in hit stun hahahahaha best thing I’ve ever seen
Best video you've made, and this isn't even my main. Lol DK has so much potential after seeing this. Thank you
Izaw your videos are the reason why im good at smash
Mono Tempo I'm still ass 😔
Toxic Lightning lol
Andy Loi I was half joking I'd like to think I'm half way decent cuz I go to tournaments often
I’m good compared to an average player (someone that knows most of the fundamentals) but against pros I’m ass. And I’m kind of limited because I don’t have wii u but a 3ds
0:43 OHH Banana!
This video was very meaty and juicy for a character that people don't think is that hard to play! Thanks for expanding it!
I just want to say the quality of your videos and the standard of your uploads are fantastic and something I don't really see on TH-cam at all. I barley play smash at all but even I'm 100% invested to each one of your videos. Great work man
He's a back-air machine! Love the vid man.
MY MAIN!! This was excellent, and taught me a lot. Now I can take my DK to the next level. :)
A lot of these combos and setups I already know about but have yet to start learning or practicing them. There's some stuff in here I've yet to try though but definitely will start doing in the future. Great video as always
20:24 "so, *DCCHHHEHH*, don't expect to..."
The best Art of Character yet.
For some reason, IzAw’s art of video come after I get out of school. Always!
Because Smash 4 DK is an artful, complex character.
I use full hop F-Air as bait / mix-up on-stage. If you input the attack just as you jump (can't remember how that was called), you actually have a couple of frames left to either jump out of the way or land without lag, whereas people usually expect you to land with lag.

Always learning new things with you thx famm
Take a shot everytime you see “expand” in the comments
reported for encouraging suicide
Ok, encouraging the expansion of alcoholism is not a good idea for expanding the population of the world.
Such beautiful analysis as usual. I always refer my friends to your videos above any other tutorial. I can tell so much work is put in to these and I can't wait until you get art of villager. (Assuming you will eventually cover the whole cast)
Your channel is so inspirational.
You have some pretty good videos as well.
Merkky
Thank you! :)
You gonna start ripping off Izaw like you did Beefy Smash Doods?
I bet BSD is "inspirational" too
Art of expanding
Other thing to add. Dair on most fast fallers around 10% is a really small bounce that can lead into a jab lock. Especially if you bait an attack with the first jump.

This production value is absolutely phenomenal, well done
Another amazing guide
Keep up the great work
In some parts of the video shows frames traps and how it's been use in some scenario. 9:42 Great Video
4:50 how come i cant do it when i start with dk facing to the right? Fix: In training i had to put mario up to 124%. You cant use dks shoulder so its weaker. Falco seems to be an exception to this. I gotta keep experimenting.

*73k subs! Congrats IzAw :)*
These showcase clips are some of the best I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. They need to be in a montage!!
the info the music best break down ever keep it up man
You are the best at doing what you do and you are somehow still improving as well!
I love all the attention to detail when it comes to showing off hitboxes, optimal DI, character combo percentage charts etc.
12:28 Wow Izaw, you think we didn't see that attempt at disrespect? You ain't slick XD
Art of ryu would be dope, just because of his sheer amount of moves and combos, plus he has a solid amount of kill confirms and his special inputs would be a cool thing to go over all in one video
He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well. And he's finally back to kick some tail!
Thanks for the heart
Damn, two art ofs in two weeks, I’m loving this upload schedule.
Was a pleasure working with you, man!
Still an honest character IMO
Great video, only missed a matchups part. DK is a bit unreliable as a solomain (doable however) but he's arguably one of the best counter picks in the game together with Bowser.

Art of bayo so i can win majors.
Trainer_ UpTilt lmao
Other bayos will smack ur ass tho
that was fast upload
nice job izaw
this pops up after listening to DK Music all day
what are the odds!? :D
Ok I’ll say it
Art of Ding Dong
IzawSmash 12:06 that Marth one was disgusting😂😩 anyway excellent DK guide... can't wait for the Sonic guide
YESSSSSS THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Great video with great choice of music and animation
Great video man. DK is my secondary so this really helped
Nice video, as always.
dong surprised me, neutral aerial and down special B on air are so cool to use
down throw to up air, the best combo in sm4sh when playing diddy
15:07 this until 15:10 without audio lmfaooo
I've been maining DK for a solid Half a year I would say and have been waiting SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO
Please for the love of god, make Art of Luigi! I need those taunt combos!
Already! Its finally here! Thanks Izaw! Another great vid!
hitting d-special mid-air and getting the spike feels so good
Ah man learned a lot from this video. Well back on For Glory I go as CE765 with Risky Kong.
When you got that history exam tomorrow and Izaw post
There's show much raw energy coming from that thumbnail
Daily Loi uploads, AND this!? Izaw you spoil us so!
I'm the only one to have landing lag when I'm doing the double jump airdodge from the ledge, it seems there is not enough time to do the bair, what I'm doing wrong? Please explain me how to do it right, thanks !
Sooooo damn good! Your voice is epic, sounds like Fleet Command from Homeworld!
_Expansive_ video. Even as a DK main, I learned many new things I never even considered.
watching old izaw vids just to feel somethin
12:03
Such a beautiful spike
You make so many good videos and guides, you deserve way more subscribers! Keep up the good work!
Smash 4 DK easily has the best design and tournament balance of all the heavyweight characters in Smash’s history. I hope they can do the same for characters like D3, K.Rool, and Bowser in Ultimate.
Great tutorial once again! But you forgot something. DK d-tilt trip into walk forward down-b covers every possible getup option due to its range.
there's literally no reason to do that when you can get a grab instead
Are those ALL the donators for DK or are those the ones who donated most? Great vid as always. Can't wait for Yoshi!
Literally been playing DK as my main since the first week of 3DS smash and this make me so hard.
DK, Donkey Kong!!
He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well,
he's finally back to kick some tail,
his Coconut Gun can fire in spurts,
if he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt,
he's bigger, faster, and stronger too,
he's the first member of the DK crew!
This is such a great guide. DK is my secondary with Ryu as my main. Hopefully Ryu is next lol.
A lot of this is still applicable in Ultimate!
You say theres no combos into 9wind, but ding dong into 9wind was proven to work with a 1-2% range by DKWill
My Donkey Kong Dong has expanded after watching this guide.
Recently picked up DK, thank you Izaw!
