Snake (SSBU)

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

Changes from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Aesthetics

  • Change Snake retains his design from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which in turn is based off Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. However, his body suit appears less form-fitting than before, and his overall appearance appears to be more detailed: Most notably, his hair, facial hair and his bandana which now has more noticeable creases, particularly above his brow.
  • Change Snake has refined animations for many of his moves.
  • Change Snake's series symbol has changed from the FOX logo to the well-known "!" Alert exclamation mark seen in Metal Gear Solid games.
  • Change Snake has two additional costumes, bringing his total up to 8. Like in Brawl, these costumes resemble camouflage worn by Naked Snake in Metal Gear Sold 3: Snake Eater. One is a pure black costume resembling the Black Camouflage. The other is a lighter green costume resembling the Leaf Camouflage.
  • Change Snake has a new victory animation. He does a spin kick, a side kick, and then finishes with a pose.

Ground attacks

  • Nerf Up tilt now shows a trail to visualize its once-deceptively large hitbox. Its horizontal range and knockback seems to have been reduced regardless.
  • Nerf Forward tilt is much weaker, doing around 13.6% when both hits connect.
  • Change Snake’s previous down smash has been changed into a double-sided kick.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff Neutral aerial is slightly faster and has less ending lag.
  • Buff Forward aerial is slightly faster.

Throws/other attacks

  • Buff Up throw has increased followup potential.

Special attacks

  • Change Hand Grenades are much larger.
  • Buff Remote Missile travels faster.
  • Change Remote Missile uses a different sound when preparing to fire a missile.
  • Change C4 now emits a flashing red light for a few seconds after being placed, making it more visible.
  • Change Snake now remains crouched when detonating C4 from a crouching position.
  • Change Snake has a new currently unnamed Final Smash. It involves him marking opponents with a crosshair, before calling an airstrike on the marked victims.
