When used, Snake bends down a plants a C4 on the ground where he is standing. By using the move a second time, he takes out a remote with a flourish and exclaims "Now!" as he presses the button, detonating the explosive, which does 17% damage and can [[KO]] at medium-high percentages. The detonation can be cancelled if Snake is attacked before he presses the button. | ||
Should Snake be close to and facing a wall, using the C4 will stick it to the wall instead of the ground. If used in midair, Snake will drop the C4 with a less obvious animation, which falls straight down and lands on the ground below. Should he lose his [[Cypher]] to the [[grab release glitch]], Snake can [[fastfall]] to catch up to the dropping C4 and [[bomb jump]] to regain his recovery. If Snake is standing near an opponent, he can attach the C4 directly to them. The C4 then acts as a [[Gooey Bomb]], able to transfer between players should they pass by each other; the small dark green box is much harder to see than an active Gooey Bomb, so Snake must be careful it has not migrated back to himself before he blows it up. C4 stuck on characters will fall off after 15 seconds and can also fall off if the character takes a strong blow. | Should Snake be close to and facing a wall, using the C4 will stick it to the wall instead of the ground.

'''The Omnigay''', also known as '''The Omni''', is a technique that takes advantage of both the C4 and [[Faux Super Armor]] in doubles play. Named after the smasher {{sm|Omni}}, it is performed by attaching a C4 on a Meta Knight or Kirby, after which the character must grab an opponent with a lower [[port]], use their [[up throw]], and while the two are above the upper [[blast line]], have Snake detonate the C4. If done properly, the player with the lower port will be KOed above the upper blast line, but the player with the higher port (the Meta Knight or Kirby) will usually receive no knockback and survive due to [[Faux Super Armor]]. In general, the C4 is applied to Snake's teammate; while the Omnigay does work if Snake places the C4 on an opponent, doing so is impractical, due to the attack's short range and Snake's inability to combo into it. | |||
The | The Omnigay is most effective when Meta Knight or Kirby is player 4, as this allows the player to gain Faux Super Armor over any opponents; as player 2 or 3, the Meta Knight or Kirby can only perform the Omnigay on player 1. Owing to this, tournaments generally require players in ''Brawl'' doubles to agree upon ports, often via rock-paper-scissors prior to the match; furthermore, some rulesets may require players to switch controller ports following matches, depending on the victor. | ||
While the Omnigay can be devastating, it is difficult to set up, as it requires Meta Knight or Kirby to grab the opponent before the C4 automatically explodes and it also requires that Snake can safely detonate the C4. The Omnigay can also unexpectedly fail and KO both Snake's teammate and the opponent they are throwing, regardless of the potential faux super armor. The exact reason for why the Omnigay sometimes fails is not known; it has been [http://smashboards.com/threads/why-omnigay-fails.336037/ theorised] it could be due to the placement of the C4 in relation to the characters, incorrect timing of the detonation, or the technique having some sort of random chance to not work as a result of its various elements. | |||
A variant to the Omnigay can be performed in singles, where a Meta Knight or Kirby player can grab a Snake holding onto a [[Grenade]], then use an up throw so that the grenade detonates above the upper blast line. This variant, however, is extremely difficult to perform, due to it requiring prcise timing and knowledge of when the grenade is about to explode. | |||
