I made this topic cause i just went on a huge tangent on another thread and decided to scrap it and put it all here.
PRESSURING WHEEE.
This is just one of Snake's strategy that i love and use
As we all know, Snake has some strange moves, very different from the other characters. He can set up Mines/C4/Nikita/Grenades/Mortar (sorta) and they all do a pretty good chunk of damage.
People usually don't want to get blown up, so they stay away from the explosives. Which leaves snake in a huge advantage some of the time (the explosives also hurt him). So the opponent stays in a restricted area or has to move to a area to prevent from Boom. We can make this work to snake's advantage, either move closer to snake so he can do awesome A moves (not going over that) or move opponents into other explosives (IE run away from nikita into C4/nade/mine).
So let's just go over each of his projectiles/mines
Mines (D smash)- snake starts diggin and throws a mine in the ground
Use- its a mine, you step, you boom.
C4- snake can remotely blow up a bomb
use- remote mines! you control it!
Nades- Snake throws nades (far/neutral/close/drop(roll))
Use- exploding projectiles that you can throw!... with a 5 second timer
Nikitas- rockets with aiming capabilities
use- aim aim aim aim aim aim aim
Mortar (U smash)- its a mortar
use- mortar goes up, and goes down
OK. basically, to pressure with snake's arsenal, we need to use every move he has.
This is simply a example of what Snake could do with pressuring
Let's say we're playing on Final Destination
C4/Mines!
i usually start the match by setting up a c4/Mine, really depends on the level and how far your enemy(s) are. if i have time to set up a mine, i do so. a good distance from the c4. more pressure added. just get them out
---mine----x------snake---c4--
or ---mine--x--c4-snake---
or just any type of setup
we can see what the opponent has to deal and avoid.
Now we make them struggle
Nades!- throw them
--mine--x-nades---c4---snake
you see what i'm getting at now? the opponent is severely pressured by the stuff that is set up. if X decides to roll back, he's gonna hit the mine. if he rolls forward, just activate the c4. rushes to you, use a triple A or tilt A to push him back or just fight back smartly. if he sidesteps (whatever it's called) or shields, just throw more nades.
Jumps pretty much apply to the things above (sorta see next paragraph)
fun isn't it?
now lets make people cry now
NIKITAS!
Nikitas are just great, you can aim with them. they're a bit slow when you change directions, but fast when you just leave them alone. if you press R, the nikita will cancel and drop straight down and it's hard to see it fall.
so more pressuring!
if they jump, you can just shoot them down. you can move the nikita up and cancel it and have alot of fun stuff happen. you just need to simply read your opponent (but that will be easy since you have some much pressure on them). just set up the nikita so it will fall on them when they move.
now we're left in a situation like
Nikitaflying
--Mine---x-nade----c4--snake
after canceling the nikita (or not), you could rush towards the enemy to do attacks (just make sure that you wont hit a mine or the c4 wont explode on you). if they roll away from nades, the nikita could fall on them.
Stated above and again... This is simply a example of what Snake could do with pressuring
Now i'm not going into details about other levels, but just use some knowledge and know where to set up stuff.
maybe stuff like, mine on a platform above so if they jump, they boom. Bigger stages may be a little harder to pressure, but you can nikita/nade/c4 spam the hell out of people
Important notes!
Nades
if two nades are thrown and one explodes first, the other one will too.
make use of snake long, neutral, short, and drop throws
you can also "cook" your nades, just keep holding B and throw b whenever, just make sure you drop it before it explodes
C4
c4 has a timer, i'm not sure how long it lasts, but it will eventually explode
I just found this out today, you can put c4s on people!
Mines- also have a timer
Mortar- i didn't include mortars in my example, but possbilities are endless. you could rush up and throw out a charged Usmash and fight until the mortar comes back down
also Mortars dont hurt you.
Mortars could leave you open to attacks
I guess you could throw out a Mortar slide, depends on how much room you have
Nikitas-just remember to use the Cancel when needed. Nikitas also leave you open, so make sure that you want to use the nikita.
Last note
PEOPLE SOMETIMES FORGET WHERE YOU PUT STUFF
now... I dunno, post your examples with snake's pressuring.
