Never give up Izaw, I look forward to see the art of the full roster one day, and this guides are literally the best ones on the entire smash community, for now I can safely say we appreciate all the effort and time you put into these
Same. I'm looking forward to helping you out on Patreon when I get a full time job. Ssbu has improved so much since you've made these, I can't imagine picking up say, Yoshi, without one of your videos.
Incineroar always felt like a fun character for me. It's a showboating, hard-hitting character that captures that wrestler feel pretty well. It's one of my primary mains alongside Banjo-Kazooie.
Same tho. I wouldn't be far off if I said smash mage me realize he's my favorite Pokemon in general. Great design, solid concept, fun delivery, and it's big buff pro wrestler shenanigans so I'm happy
I'm so glad you got so many big incineroar names to work with you on this, he's right up there with my top favourite Wrestler/Luchador fighters. I can bet alot of folks who don't pick those labeled "low tiers" but I promise you guys to spend more time improving your Incineroar game also same goes for any PvP game, always make sure you have pocket mains even if a community calls them mid or low tiers. They don't get fully checked up on by the community or they'll just forget how their match up will go and that gives you a combat advantage. 🔥🐯🔥
Incineroar is such a fun character! This guide does a great job of explaining the mindset you need while playing Incineroar which is something I learned while playing as him. His biggest weakness is how slow he is, but at a certain point every character has to fight him at close range which he excels at. And once you're powered up with Revenge, they are more scared of you than you are of them. Thanks for the guide Izaw!
As someone who has been playing incineroar for quite some time, i would like to correct one of the things in the video, it isn't the grabs that remove revenge upon hitting it. It's the throws. if incin gets grabbed released or grabbed by any of the command grabs that don't have a throw component, he doesn't lose revenge.
Something to note as well, not all moves are equal with revenge. There's a mod that makes "every move does 300%" or something ridiculous like that, and certain attacks, arials, and specials don't kill at 0% to start, while others do. I think it was LittleZ who played with the mod but I distinct remember watching Incineroar and being surprised that certain moves just didn't kill, despite their % reaching an absurd number after a single hit. And then I figured it out: **Some moves kill earlier because they calculate the launch distance after the damage has been dealt, not before.** The vast majority of attacks will calculate the launch angle before the hit. Byleth Forward smash kills at 40% fully charged, and would still kill at 40% even if the forward smash itself did no damage because it does the calculation BEFORE the % is added. With the mod, there were a lot of moves that didn't kill when the player was at 0% before the hit. Incineroar Neutral Special would not kill at 0% despite doing 300% damage because the launch was calculated before the damage was accounted for, but I distinctly remember Alolan Whip and Back Throw killing at 0% because it calculated the launch AFTER the hit (technically launching at 300%). If you get a crap ton of revenge and back throw someone at ledge, you can straight up just kill some characters at 0 because you're technically back throwing them at whatever resulting percentage they're at after the throw connects. I can't remember what other moves did/didn't calculate after the damage was dealt but it definitely made me realize another niche aspect of smash. As a rule of thumb, attacks with more hitstun would calculate the launch after damage was dealt.
I didn't expect to learn anything new (just watched because your art of videos are amazing) but I learned 2 new things about Incineroar from this video that I didn't know before: 1. The "Impact Revenge" Tech which if somehow mastered by a pro Incineroar player looks like it it could potentially be a powerful new option for Incineroar against projectiles & 2. The Neutral B stall for recovery was an option I never once thought of for utilising the slow falling property on the move (usually I only take advantage of the slow falling property on Neutral B when edge guarding).
What makes the character actually good is all the things that are not glaring. Everything sending at a nasty angles…strong anti-gimping…the fact his Ariel Command grab will just send him to the ledge if he misses. Turns him from decent to a very viable character.
Smash easily put Incineroar within my top 5 favorite Pokémon. I picked him as my starter in Sun so I was genuinely shocked, but excited when I saw his reveal yet I remember the most hype from him originally was his announcement debunking the Grinch Leak. So it's cool that years later, because of the likes of Skyjay and people taking the time to really dabble with the mon, Incineroar has a lot more respect to his name as a Smash character.
I love the simplicity of wanting to hold middle stage. When me and my bro play online co op smash, my bro struggles against speedy good fighters like Roy. It feels like he would do way better when I instruct him to focus on holding middle stage and letting the opponents come to him. I play Samus while he plays either Ganon, Bowser, Ike, and sometimes Byleth. (And even more rarely Link or Pickachu.) He hates the concept of Team attack on, so even if there were local Doubles, there’s no way we’d compete. But Smash online suits us fine when my bro will agree to play with me.
Thank you IzAw as because of this, I can now totally wreck scrubs with this amazing top tier character and go; 'You know, I'm something of a Skyjay myself.' God's work here🙏
Yayyyy!! I’ve been following you for a while now (like- early Sm4sh days) and seeing you cover my Smash Ultimate main makes me so happy!!! I am gonna put your advice to good practice
I've been playing ultimate since release 4 years ago and only recently did Incineroar become my new main, but damn I'm glad he did. Easily one of the most fun characters in the whole game
Thx, helped a lot. My friend plays banjo, so I thought my best bet would be a grappler with a counter to screw over wonderwing. Now he's my (maybe) permanent main.
YOOOO LET'S GO, ANOTHER IZAW ART OF VID! Love these videos, you explain the characters much more in depth than most other smash guides. Would love to see an art of Shulk episode, keep up the good work!
just got this video on my feed and it was a crazy blast from the past, you initially got me into competitive smash with your brawl masterpiece video and ive been playing melee competitively since hope you're doing good cheers
As a new Inci main, this guide is really helpful, thanks a lot Izaw. I'll be going to my first tournament ever and I'm so excited to put this into practice with real, offline people :D
Thank you for making this beginner friendly, in depth, easy to follow, and well-researched. You are talented at this kind of video and I hope you can continue to make videos like this.
Honestly I love the fact that you did an "Art of" for my favorite all time smash character! If there's one thing I'd like to add to this video is that if the opponent DI's into you during a down throw by ledge, you can actually get a meteor spike if they're not fast enough to realize their mistake!
Thank you for the in depth guide my dude glad to see someone's making guide this many years later. Great for us peeps just gettimg into smash ultimate. Cant wait to tey learning incineroar hes so much fun.
Very useful revenge info: Can't revenge ko punch but he does half the damage and barely takes knockback. Can revenge full roy/chrom neutral b. Can revenge falcon/warlock punch. Can revenge dk giant punch. Can revenge power geyser from Terry. Can revenge waft.
Incineroar is a character that has grown a lot because of advancements in player skill and technical knowledge. He’s a character that is nearly unmatched in raw power and is only held back by his mobility. He’s a character everybody should learn to improve their skills with spacing and options.
i love the art of series. thank you for all youre suport and contribution to our little comunity. we used to have mothly tournaments with ALOT of people. now we are mostly wii u or meele veterens left. i guess the intrest for smash isnt what it used to be.
I LOVE THAT SERIES! I would love to see Peach as one of the next characters, Peach is liked but not played enough from the community and she seems to scare alot of folks away from her which makes me sad..they all think her float mechanic is WAY to complicated but it really isnt..
Hey Izaw, love the new video, I have a question though? There are some videos on the channel called "How to..." instead of "Art of.." usually made for the DLC characters that were released. Is there a chance for an official Art of.. video to be made for them?
Hi Izaw, I recently got my first elite smash the other day, Ike, in part thanks to your guide when I was first learning him. I was thinking about picking up Pit next, would you be able to make your next guide on him?
It’s been an honour to have contributed! 🔥
no one contributes to Incineroar like you and Skyjay 🔥🐯🔥
Goated
The salt is real?
Beast
I would love to see skyjay try to replicate some of your combos.
Incineroar is such a unique character. I love his design
No other character feels like incineroar which I love
Never give up Izaw, I look forward to see the art of the full roster one day, and this guides are literally the best ones on the entire smash community, for now I can safely say we appreciate all the effort and time you put into these

Smash really made me appreciate Incineroar a lot more. He's so fun to play!
Agreed, always preferred decidueye tho in sun and moon
VGC made me realize he the goat with will-o-wisp,parting shot and a good hp stat
So glad he got in over decidueye
Same tho. I wouldn't be far off if I said smash mage me realize he's my favorite Pokemon in general. Great design, solid concept, fun delivery, and it's big buff pro wrestler shenanigans so I'm happy

wario chomp also removes it.

Also, cool to know that SDI into a Wall Tech is something you can also do in Ultimate (I only see Melee players do it)

God's work here🙏
7:20 Throws and Darkest Lariat also get a 1.1x knockback boost (source: smashwiki)
Incineroar is probably the most fun Ultimate currently has, I recommend it to everyone to pick him up! Great video explaining the basics!
It's not all about winning, it's also for a great show.
Yayyyy!! I’ve been following you for a while now (like- early Sm4sh days) and seeing you cover my Smash Ultimate main makes me so happy!!! I am gonna put your advice to good practice
I'm an Incineroar main with Link secondary and I've been waiting for this for so long! Thanks!
I've been playing ultimate since release 4 years ago and only recently did Incineroar become my new main, but damn I'm glad he did. Easily one of the most fun characters in the whole game
Thx, helped a lot. My friend plays banjo, so I thought my best bet would be a grappler with a counter to screw over wonderwing. Now he's my (maybe) permanent main.
Art of Pac-Man would be dope since you never got to him in smash 4
YOOOO LET'S GO, ANOTHER IZAW ART OF VID! Love these videos, you explain the characters much more in depth than most other smash guides. Would love to see an art of Shulk episode, keep up the good work!
F-Throw has the most knockback F-Throw in the game and sometimes, the back throw has stronger knock back than Ness’ back throw.
been playing more incineroar lately. love to see an izaw guide pop up.
Yoo 6AM is featured here! He’s one of the best Incineroar players I’ve ever seen. Great coach, too. He’s the green Incineroar at 1:55
Incineroar is one of my favorite characters to play and watch. Thanks for the video!
just got this video on my feed and it was a crazy blast from the past, you initially got me into competitive smash with your brawl masterpiece video and ive been playing melee competitively since
hope you're doing good cheers
Ive been waiting almost 5 years for this
Don't give up! I enjoy learning how to use new characters to main
As a new Inci main, this guide is really helpful, thanks a lot Izaw. I'll be going to my first tournament ever and I'm so excited to put this into practice with real, offline people :D
Thank you for making this beginner friendly, in depth, easy to follow, and well-researched. You are talented at this kind of video and I hope you can continue to make videos like this.
this was genuinely amazing I have played incin for years and for the first time you are putting habbits I have to words
Incineroar is the first character I got into elite smash
Honestly I love the fact that you did an "Art of" for my favorite all time smash character! If there's one thing I'd like to add to this video is that if the opponent DI's into you during a down throw by ledge, you can actually get a meteor spike if they're not fast enough to realize their mistake!
man uses radley as the first clip, absolute GOAT
LET’S FREAKING GOOOO! THAT’S ME AT 8:10! 10/10 video, thank you for making it!
Finally. A tutorial for my soul main
I'm sorry your job is so much work and overall, thank you. I am grateful you are doing such incredible work. A true artist.
Thank you for the in depth guide my dude glad to see someone's making guide this many years later. Great for us peeps just gettimg into smash ultimate. Cant wait to tey learning incineroar hes so much fun.
every smash character discord is constantly praying that Izaw makes an art of on their main
Incin is one of the most fun characters to play period.
Using this video to fight my incineroar problem
Very useful revenge info: Can't revenge ko punch but he does half the damage and barely takes knockback. Can revenge full roy/chrom neutral b. Can revenge falcon/warlock punch. Can revenge dk giant punch. Can revenge power geyser from Terry. Can revenge waft.
Fun fact hitting certain Objects that take percentage damage gets rid of revenge charge as well such as Pac-mans fire hydrant and Zeldas armor knight
Man I still remember your Art of Link video from the Brawl days. That shit made me main bottom tier ass Link too. Keep going
Incineroar is a character that has grown a lot because of advancements in player skill and technical knowledge. He’s a character that is nearly unmatched in raw power and is only held back by his mobility. He’s a character everybody should learn to improve their skills with spacing and options.
Welcome back, I've played the game since art of Ike came out. Love this series
been watching your art of's since the launch of the game, your guides are top tier
Thanks so much man! Just started playing some Smash with my friends so this helps a ton
One of the most well designed games of all time. With All THE characters:) and more.
Happy to have contributed to this video!
i love the art of series. thank you for all youre suport and contribution to our little comunity. we used to have mothly tournaments with ALOT of people. now we are mostly wii u or meele veterens left. i guess the intrest for smash isnt what it used to be.
I LOVE THAT SERIES! I would love to see Peach as one of the next characters, Peach is liked but not played enough from the community and she seems to scare alot of folks away from her which makes me sad..they all think her float mechanic is WAY to complicated but it really isnt..
never saw this one coming!
while shielding, jump revenge is frame 6 and his fastest out of shield option.
Finally! Thats sick man I have been waiting for this!
Watch these vids as much as possible so that it can continue
You can actually hit dthrow>upair chains even on DI out at early-mid %s, it's just insanely tight.
when i first saw this big red cat i wanted to try him straight away on release and i loved using him ever since
Incineroar has an interesting air dodge that I feel really helps his movement for microspacing and mixups. Also slingshot side b is kinda ridiculous 😂
This was a thing I missed. Happy to see a return
Thanks, been waiting for my main
0:04 so that’s how Kirby got to popstar
Love your “art of” guides since smash 4. Plz do sephiroth or diddy next.
He already did sephiroth
No art of Sonic you just want call name to sonic player
Welcome back Izaw!
I have zero desire to learn incineroar, but I miss your streams so much I had to watch. Also Art of Ganondorf when? I CAN HELP (PS Awesome new intro)
Radley is such a great incineroar
Plus also uses the blue color as I do
Love your arts of series, i watch them even if i don't main the character. Pls do rob next
Hey Izaw, love the new video, I have a question though? There are some videos on the channel called "How to..." instead of "Art of.." usually made for the DLC characters that were released. Is there a chance for an official Art of.. video to be made for them?
I love his yolo playstyle my first charachter i got to elite smash
I love fighting against Incineroar, until he lags and I cant react at all...
Thanks you for do the video. You make me improve my incineroar
My time has come!
Nice video! I hope that you get more views later on. You deserve it!
Art of Pyra / Mythra next?
The only Pokémon character to play similarly to how it actually plays in Doubles Competitive Pokémon.
Think about it. They both use intimidation.
Super informative ill need to watch this a few times
Art of Lucas, please.
When you play Incineroar you feel like a combination of hulk hogan and H U L K
Hi Izaw, I recently got my first elite smash the other day, Ike, in part thanks to your guide when I was first learning him. I was thinking about picking up Pit next, would you be able to make your next guide on him?
Best character in the game
i hope lucas is next finger crossed
personally, i feel like incin is not too bad wth projectiles, by using the down b not only does it empower him but it negates the knockback
LET'S GOOOO
8:14 skyjay btw
IT'S ME, AUSTIN!
IT WAS ALLLLLWAYYYYSSSS ME, AUSTIN!
The only reason Incineroar isn't top tier is because of mobilty
you know, you will always have youre fellow smash brothers and sisters suport.
i hope we get to se the art of all characters.
I dont like incineroar but i am glad you are still making these!
great video, diddy kong next?????
Love the video ❤ In the future can you do The Art of King K Rool?
Really like the new intro, who made it?
Thanks for lesson for Incineroar
Oh my god this is so right on time for me. Let's do it
Yes! Finally I can main Cat!
Im watching this to figure out why everyone plays incineroar online
You should do mega man next
radley is cracked
