Snake Date: Double Tuesday

Mic_128 · Oct 2, 2007

Today, we’ve been hit by another multiple dose of Snake action in the form of not one, but FOUR video clips (one with Gameplay footage!), and an update on Snake’s stage.
<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/stage13_071002b-l.jpg" alt="Anyone else think 'Yoshi's gonna give me a quest?'" />


Shadow Moses Island
This is Snake’s stage. It recreates the structure in front of the helipad on Shadow Moses Island. It’s boxed in by 2 towers on the left, however they can be destroyed if damaged enough.
<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/stage13_071002a-l.jpg" alt="Not that box." />
A spotlight roams the stage, and if your character is caught in it, a comical exclamation point pops up over it’s head. They aren’t the only intereactive elemtns of the stage. Enter: Metal Gears!

<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/stage13_071002d-l.jpg" alt="Here Rex, goooood giant...cyborg...robot thing...." />
Metal Gear Rex (Above) and Metal Gear Ray (Below) are 2 of the 3 Gears that make an appearence. The third one is “supposedly a slightly newer model.”
<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/stage13_071002e-l.jpg" alt="You can call him Ray, you can call him Jay..." />
At the bottom of the stage update is this short message, followed by 3 clips.

<blockquote>
On this stage, Snake communicates with his team to learn the key characteristics of his rivals… Whoa… Seriously? We’ve intercepted some of these communications and we’re delivering those to you now.
</blockquote>
Most likely these will pop up in Single player, as it would certainly be distracting to have these pop up in the middle of a match, and would get annoying if you had to watch one before playing on the stage.
Anyway, click on the pictures below for the 3 “Information” communications, and the Mini-Snake trailer.

OMG Thismade me laugh so much so bad XDDDD dude thew really did a good jpb on this XDDD Snake: "SSamus took all her clothes off!" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

.........AND DID SNAKE JUST SNAP MARIO'S NECK!?!?!?!?!?

GhostAnime · Oct 2, 2007

as for Snake's style, it seems cool. he might be mid tier.

ARX-7 Arbalest · Oct 2, 2007

this is the funniest update we've had on the dojo lol. i laughed my *** off when i heard that snake had no problem "eating" yoshi lmfao

Vortok · Oct 2, 2007

Today's update is made of 100% win.

Aside from the obvious coolness of Snake info, we also got some extra on a few other characters, too. Snake is just badass like that. Also... English voice actor confirmed!

RazeveX · Oct 2, 2007

watching the gameplay, i reckon that mario's dair is the tornado rather than an aerial down b.
also, i think that the move where snake strangles (first shown with pics of ike...hehe ****...) is his side b move, because he lays mario down. What grab does that?

Any other thoughts?

Limey · Oct 2, 2007

I was actually gonna say how Mario Tornado has been seen being used in the air again.

Cool update, though. I missed those extra videos! I'm off to watch them.

krlos F. · Oct 2, 2007

and now the "bubble shield" is confirmed too... btw guys, in the video of snake (the first one in the smashbros.com) when he is about to fight versus mario, is the Snake's intro??????'

PKnight · Oct 2, 2007

Somehow, not sure exactly how, but now Snake is made of -even more- win and awesome. Even better that David Hayter is voicing him as well.
Best update ever.

Yeah, pretty much.

PyrasTerran · Oct 2, 2007

Those conversations Snake has, while hilarious, if in the right frame could mean something else.

Since we don't know how these conversations are triggered, hypothetically they could happen at the beginning of the match before it starts, occuring under the conditions of playing Shadow Moses using Snake.

If that is the case, and Snake is discussing Zero-Suit Samus in one of the conversations, that could very well mean that the match started with Zero-Suit Samus rather than plain Samus, thereby confirming the possibility of playing Zamus without having to use the Final Smash item.

Does this possibility make sense to any of you?

End Game · Oct 2, 2007

I lol'ed at the last 3 videos and peed a little while watching the first one...i really hope this means that we will be getting some gameplay footage of the other newcomers *cough*Diddy*cough*

Best update so far, IMO

Rawr! · Oct 2, 2007

Oh, yeah. I was waiting for this topic to be created to discuss...

That's hot! I'm totally maining him... I always knew I would. But this actually confirms that I will. He's fast and he has the attacks of a B.A.M.F.

EDIT: I forgot to say this: He was about to break Mario's neck. That's pwnage. But... They toned it down and made it the sleeper choke. Hehe.

PsychoIncarnate · Oct 2, 2007

Interesting...

German site is the only one that mentions the word "Earthbound" (Lucas')...

and only Japan and US got the 3 extra little videos...

oxyborb · Oct 2, 2007

Zoh My God

Snake wants to catch and eat a Yoshi.

I just crapped myself.

MetaKnight'sSword · Oct 2, 2007

wasnt that Proximity Mine that Snake planted his down smash?????

Wreked · Oct 2, 2007

Wow these kind of updates make me want brawl so much more. And this one espically wants me to try snake and see what his story is like on subspace.

It would be really cool to see a sonic movie like the first one. That would be epic.

Blackadder · Oct 2, 2007

This update was sort of...well, WIN. Just win.

The best of the videos was obviously the first one, if only for the wonderful gameplay footage that we have all be dying to see.

The gameplay looks a little slower, but I'm sure we'll grow used to it.

RicanThunder · Oct 2, 2007

This week has been aweseome in terms of updates so far. Snakes's stage looks sick, I cannot wait to play on it. I honestly think Snake is going to be my new main. He is so bada**. The man said he would eat yoshi. The sleeper hold is probably one of the coolest in Snakes arsenal. There is so much detail about Snake now, that I'm starting to think that Sonic being in the game wouldn't be as cool. However if indeed sonic makes it in brawl, ill just have to kick the crap out of him. GOTTEM

MetaKnight'sSword · Oct 2, 2007

hey u guys....in the first vid....did snake just....throw a gernade at Wario....who ate it and apparently farted it out?????????????

ZenJestr · Oct 2, 2007

that would be hilarious...Ill go check it out...hehehe

but yea today's update was frikin awthum

-Katsuta · Oct 2, 2007

Is it apparent to me or is his Down Smash Mine only one at a time?

He seemed to have triggered it near the beginning of the movie.

.. Mindgames. ;D

Stalky · Oct 2, 2007

Glad I check the Smash Blog after the Dojo every day, because that last little tidbit and the three other videos aren't on the UK update. Strange.

PrettyGoodYear · Oct 2, 2007

That... was nice, made me warm up to him a bit more.

IM_A_HUSTLA · Oct 2, 2007

this is probably the Snake VS. Mario match that sakurai and that other guy had????

i like how the gameplay looks, it looks like melee in alot of ways but a bit slower,

its like every1 will have falco like combos(speed wise)

and something i noticed is that 3-hit thing snake did to mario looks like it could be his A,A,A move,

it would be like gannon kinda with the strong jab

zKillah · Oct 2, 2007

There's too much to digest...what agreat update. While very informative, it is also very funny. What a great start to the week.

LuigiKing_Pwns · Oct 2, 2007

Omg Omg Omgo Omg Xddddddddddddddddd Neck Snappp Snakes Moves,,, Gameplay Footage Stage!!!! Omg Crazy Yupdate

IM_A_HUSTLA · Oct 2, 2007

it also looks like it confirms entrances(sorry if mentioned)

and i think i saw him do a fox/falco F-air then would could be his N-air(which looks like a launcher kick from TEKKEN!) it would be cool if they added something like that, like a combo starter.

i think im gonna fall in love with thsi game(like i wasn't already!!!!!!11!!1!)

and i dont know if anyone noticed this or not but crawling prevents SHL and things like spamming missles and needles

F@lc0-san · Oct 2, 2007

I can already see his convo with the Colonel about Cpt.Falcon.

Snake: "Colonel, who is he?"

Campbell: "Snake, that is Captain falcon, a great bounty hunter and an F-Zero race car pilot. Watch out for his Falcon Punch, its a slow move, but its devastating.."

Snake:"Colonel...."

Campbell: "Yes Snake?"

Snake: "He's so awesome...."

Campbell: "I know Snake...I know..."

quithas · Oct 2, 2007

Awesome

Greates update ever. Man I loved it when Snake said maybe I should catch so we can see what it tastes like. That was awesome. Man I really cant wait for this game December 3rd can come soon enough.

Shiny Ivysaur · Oct 2, 2007

Samus just took all her clothes off...

HEWW YEAH!!

While I am against him being in here (3rd party, etc etc), he does look pretty fun to play as.
Those mini-videos were quite funny.

Eyemeralds · Oct 2, 2007

Snake is silly, so silly...

Everyone should know Mario, but trust me, not everyone does!

Moses Island looks like fun(pwoom!) ah Rex! Um, just dodge the (Spotlight !).......This game's winner is Mario!.......I hate you Sakurai......

......Yoshi Island is up ahead...I can taste it now.......(a day later, Yoshi's Island was reduced to a blood bath to the kindly creatures, meaning that we love or hate Kajima. It's your choice.)

Snake: Samus took her clothes off...I-I-I'm getting an erection! MayLing: That's just...um....Snake, what are you doing? Snake: Just call(urg) call me dad(urg)daddy!~end~

By farting? Are you kidding? Sadly no- That's awesome, that means I can actually fart! All this time, I had to sneak around and couldn't fart! (Wario sneaks up from behind) But now! (Wario opens his mouth and zooms out of Earth, a distant "Waahhh!!!!" can be heard from a tarnished soul. It also smells....P.U.) :chuckle:

PsychoIncarnate · Oct 2, 2007

That whole snake thing wants me to have Geno in...

Imagine the discussion between Snake and those guys about a possessed living doll! Heh...

GENO FOR BRAWL so we can listen to funny conversation about Snake fighting a possessed wooden doll

falcofuku69 · Oct 2, 2007

Mario just got his a$s pwned, also i think the video clips will pop up in the corner so you can continue playing while the crew talks to snake, and i know others have probably said this but did Snake just snap marios neck??!!???!!

maxpower1227 · Oct 2, 2007

EPIC WIN!!!!

Terrabottuti · Oct 2, 2007

Wow, Solid Snake has once again been blessed with a truely epic multiple update... I guess it shouldn't be too surprising though, considering he's a special guest of honor in the Smash World, so the Dojo probably needs to give the 3rd party characters some more love than the others!

Having 4 videos in a single day is really, REALLY just awesome beyond words. Whilst the other 3 don't any real gameplay footage, the codec conversations sound like they will be pretty amusing to hear as long as they don't intrude that badly, like maybe if they just pop up like the Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash... also, seeing more of the Shadow Moses stage after all this time of a few minor teasers is really satisfying as well, although the Metal Gears having a huge part in this stage does deconfirm a lot of Final Smash theories about Snake, but they do make more sense as a stage threat anyway!

This game really seems to want me to try and main Snake, and to be honest with you it seems to be working.

Speedsk8er · Oct 2, 2007

You guys should know that the game probably only looks slow because we're not the ones playing it. Don't forget, once we get the game and the metagame is established, we'll crank it up.

That being said, this is the third time I'm going to say this but.... BEST UPDATE EVER.

I CAME.

X-x-Dyce-x-X · Oct 2, 2007

SICK NASTY UPDATE!!!

Time to start reviewing the trailer for hidden features.
We have sheilding, and did I see L-cancelling?
And I dare someone to tell me the Tornado isn't Mario's dAir now. Watch the video people.

Also, I LOVE that powerbomb Snake gives Mario. It looks like his bThrow. Sweeeeeet.
Snake doesn't look so "clunky" anymore now, huh? Still curious about that dSmash though. There's no way it's not his dB, it's too special looking to not be a special.

Phlemingo · Oct 2, 2007

In one of the Snake conversations they were beggining to talk about a lizard thing, and I thought it was Ridley!!!!

SmashWhammy · Oct 2, 2007

When this happens with Kirby, will any mention of his vaccum breath?
