| '''Izaw''', formerly known as '''Izaw91''', is an ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[SSBU]]'' [[Link]] player from Sweden, who has also lived and competed in Canada. While a prominent figurehead in the Link community, he is more notable for his [[YouTube]] content, primarily his ''Art of...'' series, a tutorial series wherein he delves into the competitive and technical aspects of characters.
| | Izaw91 is a Swedish smasher famous for playing Link. He is noted for playing a selection of characters at a competent level. Izaw's claim to fame was his YouTube account where he would post several matches and "combo videos" mostly, if not all starring Link. Izaw has played Melee but has gained worldwide fame from playing Brawl. Izaw recently competed in a European "Super Lion Tournament" where he was able to play against top European players such as Europe's best [[Snake]] [[Calzorz]] and Europe's best [[Marth]] [[Mr. R]]. |

| ==Trivia== | |
| *Izaw is infamous for his YouTube video with the title "Why {{SSBU|Steve}} MIGHT be the worst character in the game" a few weeks after the character's release, which received massive disagreement within the community. He later changed the video title to "Why Steve MIGHT be a bad character (outdated)". As of June 2022, Izaw has unlisted the video entirely. On February 27, 2023, He uploaded a video titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yimwl69yJMo Should we BAN Steve?]", discussing how Steve is actually one of the best characters ever and whether Steve's tech or Steve himself should be banned. | |
