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.
