Snake (スネーク, Snake) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Rather than Kiefer Sutherland, who has voiced the character since Metal Gear Solid 5, David Hayter confirmed on Twitter that he would be reprising his role as Snake.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Aesthetics

• Snake retains his design from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which in turn is based off Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. His overall appearance is more detailed, most notably with his hair and facial hair, while his bandana has more noticeable creases, especially above his brow. Finally, his body suit appears less form-fitting, especially his behind.
• Snake's series symbol has changed from the FOXHOUND logo to the well-known "!" Alert exclamation mark seen in Metal Gear Solid games.

Ground attacks

• Up tilt's notorious invisible hitbox (which appears before his leg is extended) has been toned down or removed, significantly reducing the horizontal range of the move.
• Jumpsquat is faster.
• Snake’s previous down smash has been changed into a double-sided kick.

Aerial attacks

• Forward aerial is slightly faster.

Special attacks

• Remote Missile travels faster.
• C4 now emits a flashing red light for a few seconds after being placed, making it more visible.
