Snake (SSBB): Difference between revisions

|name = Snake  

Snake ranks 6th on the tier list (the second-highest ranked [[unlockable character]]). One of Snake's strongest attributes is his ability to quickly deal damage and [[camp]] with his explosives; his [[Hand Grenade]]s come out on frame 1 and explode when attacked (providing him protection from some [[combo]]s), dealing 13% each while producing very large explosions with high [[knockback]]. His Grenades, [[C4]], and [[down smash]] mines provide excellent stage control and can make the stage very difficult for opponents to traverse without being damaged.  

Snake has fast and powerful [[neutral attack|neutral]] and [[tilt attack]]s, and his forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, and neutral attack all have low startup and ending lag, good [[range]], and deliver high damage and high knockback (in particular his up tilt), giving him a strong ground game. Snake's disproportionately high [[weight]] grants him strong [[momentum cancelling]] abilities, as well as excellent endurance, and his far-reaching recovery makes him one of the most difficult characters to KO, especially vertically. Snake can also use his [[DACUS]] to approach easily and give him very fast movement speed across the ground (sliding a very large distance at a speed similar to {{SSBB|Sonic}}'s dashing speed). Almost all of his moves have high KO power, and he can set up [[tech-chase]]s with his down throw that can deal lots of damage if he can [[read]] his opponent's actions.

With the exception of the third method, Snake must then be defeated on [[Shadow Moses Island]].

|fsmashdesc=Snake takes out an {{s|wikipedia|RPG-7}} rocket launcher and aims it at the ground directly in front of himself, causing a huge explosion. It has very slow startup but deals immense knockback when it hits. It is generally the third most powerful forward smash behind {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s and {{SSBB|Ike}}'s.

|bairdesc=Snake extends both his legs out behind him, planking in the air. The move is stronger if Snake hits the opponent with his body rather than his legs. It has fairly low startup along with good reach and high damage and knockback, making it a solid KO option. When sweetspotted, it is the second strongest back aerial in the game, KOing Mario at around 105% from the middle of Final Destination. The move also has a late hit which is weaker but it lasts for quite some time and it still has decent power for a lingering aerial. The main downside with the move however is that it has high landing lag and it cannot auto-cancel in a short hop, which makes it very risky to use. The sweetspot also has an unfavourable position, forcing Snake to be inside of his opponent to land it, which only makes the move even more punishable if Snake misses.

At the very beginning of ''Brawl'', Snake was seen as a mid-tier character due to his slower speed and laggy attacks. However, with the quick discoveries of multiple techniques as well as his very high and disjointed power, Snake skyrocketed to being a top tier. Snake was ranked 2nd on the tier list shortly after ''Brawl'''s release, right below {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, although some believed that he was 1st instead; Snake was one of the most commonly used characters at tournaments, and it was not uncommon for the top-placing players to all use Snake. However, as Snake's vulnerability to [[juggling]] and [[gimp]]able recovery became exploited, and other characters' powerful abilities were discovered, Snake has fallen to 6th place. Despite this, he is still in the top tier and has been the second-most successful character in tournaments after Meta Knight, often allowing many players to believe he should be ranked higher, and above Marth.

Meta Knight is glad to oblige, when Lucario senses security [[Primid]]s coming from the corridor behind him, so they end up forming a partnership with Snake. After battling their way through the Halberd, Snake and the others meet up with {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Peach}}. Some [[Shadow Bugs]] appear and create [[False character|false versions]] of the princesses, which the trio fights and defeats. The duo are then freed and Snake tells them to stay, but they went out against his order (Zelda turns into {{SSBB|Sheik}} to hide from him). Later, Snake, Lucario and Meta Knight find the bridge of the ship and are surprised to see a quintet of false {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}es controlling it. Snake and Lucario throw all of the Mr. Game & Watches out of the window and they all land on the front deck. The doppelgängers dissolve into Shadow Bugs and form into [[Duon]], whereupon Lucario, Snake, and {{SSBB|Falco}} join Fox, Sheik, and Peach to defeat it. Snake shows up with everyone else at the [[Entrance to Subspace]] and, like everyone else, he is turned into a trophy by [[Tabuu]]'s Off Waves. He can be revived by collecting his trophy by {{SSBB|Kirby}} in [[Subspace (Part II)]], making him eligible for the final battle against Tabuu.

Snake is one of the few characters in the entire SSE storyline to have dialogue. When he reveals himself, he [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_wall states to the player] "Kept you waiting, huh?". This is a reference to the fact that he was seen earlier in the storyline in his box during the epilogue of [[The Forest]].
