Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

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 Metal Gear Solid V, 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. His overall appearance is more detailed, most notably with his hair and facial hair, while his bandana has more noticeable creases, particularly above his brow. Finally, his body suit appears less form-fitting.
  • Change Snake has refined animations for many of his moves.
  • Change Snake's series symbol has changed from the FOXHOUND 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.

Ground attacks

  • Nerf Up tilt now shows a trail to visualize its once-deceptively large hitbox. Its horizontal range seems to have been reduced regardless.
  • 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.
  • Change Down throw has a slightly refined animation, with Snake slamming the opponent on the ground more forcefully.

Special attacks

  • Change Hand Grenades are much larger.
  • Buff Remote Missile travels faster.
  • Change C4 now emits a flashing red light for a few seconds after being placed, making it more visible.
  • 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.
