Ultimate]]'', where he talks about other fighters with his support team, consisting of [[Colonel Roy Campbell]], [[Otacon|Hal "Otacon" Emmerich]], and [[Mei Ling]].

The Codec Conversations are initiated by inputting the down [[taunt]] command for just one frame. If done correctly, Snake will kneel and touch the codec receiver in his ear. The codec message will begin after a few seconds, provided Snake is left undisturbed. He can only perform the Smash Taunt once per match, even if he is interrupted during the initial animation. In matches where Snake has more than one opponent, the subject will be selected randomly.

Note: Snake's comment about Pit's "Game Overs" could be poking fun at ''Kid Icarus''{{'}} somewhat infamous difficulty.
