'''Remote Missile''' (also called the ''Nikita'') is [[Solid Snake (SSBB)|Snake's]] [[Forward B]] move. The missile can be controlled with the control stick, but Snake is defenseless until the [[shield]] button is pressed. Doing so will end the control over the guided missile, causing it to cease most of its forward movement and drop downwards. The missile will still explode if it hits anything while falling. The missile seems to have high priority.

The missile can change direction randomly if it is hit by rapid attacks like [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby's]] and [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon's]] [[Neutral A]]. When the missile hits its target, Snake will do a quick fist pump. However, when Snake misses he will strike a pose that shows disappointment. The missile does half its normal damage (around 7%) and has less knockback when dropped. It will increase in damage the farther away it is. As you turn the missile the less distance it will travel due to lack of fuel.
'''Remote Controlled Missile''' is [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s [[Side Special Move|side special move]]. When used, [[Snake]] takes out a ''Nikita'' and fires. When the missile is in the air, its direction and speed can be controlled by [[Snake]].

In the Subspace Emissary, R.O.B. Launchers also fire Remote Missiles.

==Origin==
Going back to the first Metal Gear game, the RCM was a weapon that Snake had to obtain in order to destroy a target that was otherwise out of reach. The Brawl variation of the Nikita eliminates the third dimension of movement as well as the first person perspective of the missile while guiding it. Both in the Metal Gear saga and in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, the RCM is one of the few weapons in Snake's arsenal which is almost completely fictional.

The Nikita Guided Missile Launcher

Remote Controlled Missile is Snake's side special move. When used, Snake takes out a Nikita and fires. When the missile is in the air, its direction and speed can be controlled by Snake. However, he cannot move while controlling a missile, and can stop controlling it by pressing the shield button (Which causes the missile to abruptly drop) Also players such as Ike, Marth and Link can change the trajectory of the missile by hitting it with their sword. In the Metal Gear series, a Nikita is a guided missile launcher.
