Yeah so here are some tricks with snake, I'm pretty sure the whole grenade dropping hasn't been mentioned anywhere or anything so here you go.

I'm aware that it doesn't seem very practical but I'm working on making it practical haha

Also this video was not made by me and it's not exactly what I'd call a technique video lol, it's just a few things I was messing with but connor decided to make it a technique video.

You should subscribe to him for future videos from me because I'll probably make a more legit video in the future.

There are also some cool things at the end lol


http://youtube.com/watch?v=hI0hA-a2QxA again if you didn't see it lol

I'm being a little selfish, but do you think you can find a way to host a larger version of the vid for download? I am really tired of youtube's shrink-o-vision. >_<

How do you drop grenades in mid air?
You drop the grenade in the air then immediately perform an aerial attack which will cause you to catch the grenade

I'm afraid I dont have the luxury of making a youtube account and asking, I've let college work pile up far too high. Think you can put in a good word for a fellow anon?

So you drop the grenade while standing on the ground and as it falls, you perform an aerial. Snake will grab the grenade and it will be cooked by the time the aerial is done. Correct?

I just wanted to clear that up since it sounds like Snake is dropping the grenade while he is hovering in the air.

I have to start practicing the non-contact mortar slide and grenade dropping.

...I just realized something. Your little Grenade Dance could've saved me so much grief when fighting Duon or Porkey by doubling up on damage with the grenades. Dammit ******, why diddnt you release this sooner and save me grief?! ;_;

I was dropping it in the air and catching it in the same jump

I wouldn't be a decent opinion on Snake's dirty tactics if I beat Intense Boss Rush with anyone but Snake would I? Besides, I wanted my own gloating status having so far being the only person to actually BEAT IBR with Snake.

Just finally figured out how to do the Cromslide

Couldn't get any of the regular button combinations I've seen to work, but I can do it consistently using down c to initiate the dash then up+z to do the mortar slide... good stuff

The grenade drop is kinda nice too, could be useful in CQC situations

The trick with the grenade looks very useful, I'll try it later :)

By the way, are you using the C-stick when you play? like throwing the grenades?

Yeah I still can't get it to work like that... I'll mess with it later maybe.

I reexamined the grenade dropping in your vid. So, your pulling out a grenade, dropping it, picking it, then you drop it midair and pick it up with an aerial?

If that is correct, how do you drop it midair before you do your aerial?

Edit: Nevermind, I just did it using Z

Could you elaborate on how to drop it in mid air and grab with the same jump? it's hard to understand from the low quality of youtube.


EDIT: I found a nice use for the grenade, it can be cooked even when mixing it with the cromslide, just drop it on the ground - evade back and do the cromslide, then throw it to your opponent's direction.

I feel dumb because I didn't even know that Snake could drop grenades in the air.

Oh well, live and learn.

Jump, hit Z, and aerial immediately. You'll catch the nade and perform the aerial.

On a side note...I finally figured out the nade fakeout...heh.

btw psychomidget is too good.

CQC is already established to stand for Close Quarters Crombo, right? If not, it should be.

I use A button -> Cstick for Cromslides.

you can and it sticks faster in the air than on the ground

Those are some pretty good grenade tactics. I will be sure to practice and implement them into my game. I've been doing a little experimenting with grenades, too and I've come up with something. I haven't practiced with it too much so I'm not sure how practical it is in actual matches, but I guess you could call it the "Snake Kamikaze". Basically you take out a nade, drop it, pick it up and make a mad dash to your opponent(s)...right before it explodes, hit block and they'll take damage from the explosion while you remain safe.

I too find it even easier to just dash -- Usmash using A button...don't have to move any fingers :D

And thx for the vid, I srsly need to find a way to make my own for some criticism.

He's gotta do it with snake, of course. And then, forever on, he will be known as the "incredible monster snake player"

EDIT- Whoops. Was replying to post about the challengeo of beating Boss Battles Intense mode, thought that was most recent post for some reason..
