Moved Origin to be above Gallery/Trivia to match other pages
(Gave the page a significant cleanup, adding Ultimate changes, detailed Brawl frame data, and fixing wording on the origin to differentiate from real-world and the Metal Gear series. Removed cleanup tag.) |

In ''[[Ultimate]]'', Cypher was given a few changes to prevent Snake's movement from being as limited: he is now able to grab the ledge while using Cypher if he is facing it, and with the reintroduction of [[airdodging|directional air dodges]], his recovery gains a slight increase in distance. | In ''[[Ultimate]]'', Cypher was given a few changes to prevent Snake's movement from being as limited: he is now able to grab the ledge while using Cypher if he is facing it, and with the reintroduction of [[airdodging|directional air dodges]], his recovery gains a slight increase in distance. | ||

''An unmanned aerial surveillance vehicle used by the U.S. Army. It uses a fan in the center of its body to hover and a camera on its upper fuselage to monitor from the skies. It has a number of models, including the armed Gun Cypher and the remodeled Cypher II. Its small size and continuous flight ability make it extremely effective in guarding against intruders.'' | ''An unmanned aerial surveillance vehicle used by the U.S. Army.

The [[wikipedia:Sikorsky Cypher|Cypher]] is a real-life unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. In the ''Metal Gear'' series, Cyphers were the automated flying security cameras that patrolled the bridges between the struts of the Big Shell in ''Metal Gear Solid 2''. A Cypher is also used by The Patriots during the Tanker chapter, taking a picture of Snake standing over a defeated Olga Gurlukovich in order to frame him for a terrorist attack on the marine tanker ''Discovery''. Though neither Snake nor Raiden ever used one to hitch a ride, this move is a good example of Snake's resourcefulness and wouldn't have been out of place in a ''{{uv|Metal Gear}}'' game. There is also a Gun Cypher derivative which is armed with a light machine gun. | |||
