Smash Ultimate: Art of Kirby 

Sign up for the SEMINAR! classes.metafy.gg/izaw-ssbu

I’ve been playing Kirby as a solo main for almost eight years now, and still I feel like there’s so much creative potential I haven’t even begun to touch.

7:26 when Richter said "Take this!" and kirby took the holy water, I felt that

As an obvious Kirby main, this video does a pretty great job at detailing how the puffball's current moveset can be used. I'm sure people will find this extremely handy. Nice work!

I haven't won a single game against my boyfriend , I refuse to back down so now I'm going to take this seriously and learn Kirby properly.

Shoutouts to all the non Kirby mains who just love watching these Izaw guides because you always learn something valuable.

Excellent video as always! I'd truly love to see an "art of inhale" follow up video, where you explore how to use copy abilities with Kirby. Complex ones like monado arts, Duck Hunt's can, the bonus fruit, charge shot, etc. Hope you're well :)

Great guide as always. As a kirby main i'm happy to see such an accurate guide. It took me a lot of vods to watch and learn all of these kinda wish this came up when i first picked up the character.. Anyways! Great work as always, izaw!

Excellent guide; there are a few tricks I want to add to my competitive Kirby! As a Kirby main, you must optimize your combos, advantage state, and neutral since it can be hard to approach certain mus. Anyway, looking forward to part 2 and hope my clips show up! Some more basic tips: 1. Final Cutter is best used as an anti air mix up. Don't spam of course. You can also cheese with its spike at ledge. 2. Practice copy combos and platform combos; you'll need them! 3. Back throw can kill near ledge, so go for it instead of up throw in those situations.

I've been watching since the Smash 4 Art Of Kirby. It's pretty surreal to contribute to the Ultimate version, thanks a bunch for the opportunity, Izaw! (◕‿◕✿)

It’s crazy how in depth your guides go. I’ve been a Kirby main for 2 years now and some of this stuff I didn’t know.

I'd like to add. Fair 1 has two ways it can launch depending on which part of the hitbox you get. Meaning hitting the tip of kirby's shoe wil ALWAYS pop in front making fair 1 into fsmash true even at high percents. Now if you hit with the part of the shoe the closest to kirby's body will launch away from kirby making it kinda harder to como at higher percents. As for the command grab, it also depends on how fast the opponent mashes. Usually as izaw said you want to use it as your tomahawk grab (mainly since kirby is floaty it can take a while and can be easily punished if he tries thawk grab and also inhale sends straight forward with a slight pop upwards) so don't take long before pressing a or b button and also at 0 percent.. Unless they don't mash, it's pretty hard to get anything guaranted so don't take long to press a button and exhale. Backair i might want to add that you have to land and space that move for it to be safe and combo it's actually tricky at first but it sure is as good as izaw says. And lastly, regarding up b, it is one of kirby's best anti air options. Mainly because of it's range and kirby lacking in mobility the mobility to make it up ther for full hops in time, it's pretty solid and it's disjointed so it allows you to contest some characters without disjoints and you can make it safe or harder to punish by drifting backwards it also kills at very high percents if you drag an opponent into the upper platform in battlefield. It is also worth mentioning that while recovering even while mixing up going high ALWAYS go back to the ledge. never land on stage as the endlag is brutal and you will die (izaw did it but not sure if he specifically mentioned it). Seriously the amount of kirby players online who land on stage while recovering is unbeliveable.

Incredible. I've never seen a single video that so comprehensively covers kirby's gameplan. Going to be referencing this one to try to incorporate the stuff I've neglected.

Coming back to smash since terry came out and since the art of diddy kong im impress that your doing the guide of all of the character in the game which is dedicated and appreciate since you gotta do all of the studies but you can visually see them while being explain making it very alive and welcoming which I have to say as a smash 4 veteran which I'm proud to say some of the things you taught was from you and thank you. Even the danishbuttercookies 1v1s in the past which I really love. Off topic just thank you. 👏🏾

Man I've been watching since s4 art of kirby.....wild

just a few more tips, final cutter can set up tech situations at high percents inhale and dair are both great for catching teleportation and tether recoveries. Out of inhale release, instead of footstool, you can go for Bair. Starting it instantly prevents you from being footstooled. You'll usually want to go for jump bair, as most opponents jump out of release. Some characters are not worth trying anything on out of inhale release.

Great Video! BTW the 3 kirby charakter are very underrepresentative! I hope for an "Art of Metaknight", there are some ladder guides but no videos about general movset, tech chase, follow ups or kill confirms in detail

I was just playing some Kirby yesterday, I’m glad I could turn to you for a little advice on him!

As a Kirby main, I've been waiting for this!!

As a Kirby main I gotta say this is one of the best guides that I have ever seen for this character!

honestly i've been waiting so long for this video. thank you so much for making this. as a kirby main im very peased

Great work Izaw! Looking forward to part 2!

7:42 That jab reset into foootstool into another jab reset is brutal man

This is a great video! I just learned about combining up-air into a up-tilt so I appreciate this video! One thing that you should have mentioned was usage of the aerial version of hammer. When the hammer isn't fully charged yet, it swings two times in the air, but when it is fully charged, it only swings once.

YES!!!! I requested this before. Thank you so much Izaw Ive been waiting for this

0:55 Kirby is cute this is important 0:59 Kirby sleeping this is also important. 1:10 Kirby is a god 1:21 Kirby says stfu to D3

Sorry I been missing videos this was a blast from the past seeing the art of anything was crazy

Lovely. I'm a proud Kirby main and while I'm happy I know some of these moves and techniques (Art of Kirby Smash 4, baybee lol), this guide is sure to improve my skills even more so. Probably a LOT more so! Thanks IzawSmash!

YEEESSSSSSS!! Finally!! I been waiting for this one for years!

Great video :) Looking forward to the next one

Very good guide! I really enjoyed watching this.

Solid Vid. Keep up the work!

Me a few years back would’ve loved this video, as I haven’t played smash in a year or two but was a Kirby main back when I did. My biggest gripe with the character is his lower range but I really like the low percent combo potential

I use Kirby as a secondary and one of my favorite things to do at low percentage is use the classic fthrow fair to create a tech chase and run up and down tilt to see if I can get a trip do various things. At mid to high percentage I simply use fthrow up b to force them in a awkward position, especially at ledge. Depending on their habits I run up and up smash, fair, dash attack. Whatever punishes best. Olimars ability is the best imo.

Thanks for this guide, I've been learning a lot about kirby in ultimate! Overall, I'd love to improve my kill-confirms.

You should really do an Art of K Rool video, i think the character is honestly SUPER underrated, i dont main him, but i've been looking into him more.

My favorite Kirby combos are down air -> take 12% from enemy multijab and down tilt -> whiff dashgrab

Hello izaw, nice video as always and well explained. Can I request an art of king k rool sometime in the future? I think you need to shine more light on low to mid tier characters.

Peacockkaè Has Taught Me So Much!!

This guide makes kirby look like a pretty decent character. Another great Art of.

I've been waiting for this since the Roy art of, and it's been out for 2 weeks?! Man I need to keep up lol

Final been waiting for this video lol

YAYYYYY LET’S GOOOOOO glad I could contribute even if it was a little bit! great guide izaw :)

Yes I remember asking so long ago and THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Love these videos.... I guess I've gotta get Kirby to Elite Smash now:)

Izaw Smash rlly out here, still making these vids. What a champ

the kirby-minmin matchup gave me flashbacks (my friend beat my ass 5 times in a row with minmin)

I'm upset he doesn't talk about falling uair Crossing it up on shield is great, and if you land it, it sends at an amazing angle to combo at lower percents.

You missed something important: You can dance by gently taping the control stick left and right.

Really great video !!!

IzawSmash, do you plan on making an Art of Meta Knight video? I love using the character but I need more help knowing how to use him at an advanced level

Great video! Can we get an art of sheik!? I love your attention to detail. And sheik is one of those characters were attention to detail is crucial.

I'm super sad to say that I only knew half of the things talked about and I'm a Kirby main but at the same time, now I can bring my playing to a higher level of gameplay, thanks for the video!

The content we need!!!

I've always had fun playing Kirby. Kirby has the combos, fast frame data, and being small for that matter. Being small has been a great feature for some characters such as G&W, Pikachu, and Olimar. Those characters do well in tournaments and are played a lot. I think Steve can also be categorized with being small, which makes Steve a strong character in the current meta

Thanks for this Izaw despite the moveset not serve me fan service wise I still enjoy with the pink puffball ^V^

this makes kirby's combos a lot more cool than I thought definitely could see him being mid tier when optimized

Finally an Art of Kirby!! Theres so much more kirby can do with ALL the copy abilities from everyone in Smash! Hmm I wish someone could make a montage of Kirby using all these copy abilities 🤔

I love Kirby because of their ability to combo with relative ease.

Overall, great video, having great explanation on the char, just a few things 19:59 this doesn't happen on PS2, since its platforms are a tiny bit higher, so fthrow to fair still works also at higher %s you can do fthrow to up b as a mixup (which in my experience depends on opps DI, but still can catch some off guard)

This moment at 9:48 when both King Dedede and Kirby charge their BIG hammer... This was so intense!!

Obviously the strongest character in the game

Bro I hope this is foreshadowing another meme art of DDD

Since I mostly play Kirby for fun it never crossed my mind that his up tilt extensions had to be spaced to hit the middle of the weak hitbox, guess I need to polish him a bit.

11:30 ayo Izaw, KingOfSkill called he wants his do it again back

Just a mention kirby gave pretty good initial dash is not make his mobility perfect but at least is help him a lot than his normal run

Will forever wait for Art of Ryu *and* Art of Ken

Kirby has the original 0-to death. Inhale and walk off edge.

Omg! I can finally learn the TRUE ART OF KIRBY!

Nice video!

my boyfriend suggested that i watch this video to learn more about Kirby's potential. I have learned and i am happy thank you! i'm a kirby main

10:48 Hey, that's me!

Top entry for r/unexpected Needless to say - thank you for your hard work Izaw !

As a kirby main I learned nothing BUT I love these videos none the less! Looking forward to part 2!

Does anyone have advice on how to get the fast fall fair third hit?

Write that down! Write that down!

Okay what.. since when was Kirby this sick

Can you do a video about little mac? I think he’s a really underrated character

Always playing with Kirby and friends hate me for it but idc, I’ll continue to kick ass 🩷

It’s scary that my Kirby amibo acts exactly like the example videos

This guide on Kirby has been the most up to date and proficient. I been a Kirby main for a long time, and I love how u broke specific techs and combo tricks that other ppl usually do. Kirby has so much potential as a character and very honest. You’d have to be a student of the game for sure by studying other characters and in game techs. Simply amazing presentation overall.🙏🏼🦾💯💯🚶🏽🏆‼️

Inhale, walk off ledge, we’re dying today.

Kirby is underrated

I deal with kirbys slow fall by down b canceling into a dodge if someone is trying to hit me

Kirby needs jiggly puffs air speed and fox’s ground speed 😈

YOOOO! ITS TIME!

We need one for each dlc

I have been repeating this video so many times. I started with 1921 gps and haven’t got much more. Do you think I need to keep practicing and repeating this video or keep playing online and I will get better?

I just noticed something. Kirby is just Squirtle, but slower and floatier, easier to use, a better recovery, and has more kill power.

Thanks for this fun video father

Thanks You very much for upload My clips, i'm very happy :D

Man I wanna see art of Game and Watch.

Down air into anything: the character

KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY THATS THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW

I LOVE KIRBY :D

Is an art of snake planned ? I would love to watch it

9:47 funniest thing ive ever seen

1:55 BUT WAIT HERES THE BEST PART
