I like teaming with ZSS. All her stuns and combos plus Snakes punishes seems like it could be really good. I feel like they compliment each other's weaknesses well too. Though lately I've been having a lot of fun teaming with a Jigglypuff. Tranq to Rest is real and if they are good they can...

I haven't really fought a good sheik in PM yet, but I can see it being a hard matchup. I'd still probably rather fight Sheik than Zelda though. At least I can combo Sheik.. I find that Snake can only really camp people with worse approaches than him that don't have a projectile, which is...

Thanks for the reply man. I will keep this in mind as I try to level up my game. Some of the people I play with never wake up when they are tranq'd and some seem to mash out mad quick. But it's similar to getting a grab I suppose; just gotta adapt to what they are doing, what % they are at...

I will hit the lab and test out the tranq more as a jab reset tool. I still feel like it should be something more than a tool to extend off resets though. I don't discount the tranq is most effective at close range but my point is it is seemingly only effective/reliable at close range. At...

Hey BND thanks for the reply. Those are some good points. I do agree about the set timer being boring but the randomness of the mash can be really frustrating at times. I have seen people mash out and do optimal moves out of sleep and also mash out and air dodge off the stage and die. I feel...

I'd like to see some changes to the tranq gun. It is kinda overpowered against people that have never faced it but anyone who is good at mashing or used to fighting against it, it just seems like it's not really that good unless you can manage to shoot someone point blank with it (with like a...

It's a pain in the ass man, I like to bait out jumps by jumping and try to punish them when they're landing as I'm landing. But I'm glad the mystery is at least partially solved and I'm not going crazy. Ah well, it is what it is!

Prof: Am I a real Snake? :lol: I fought Zero recently too, he's a really smart player. Good with Fox, Pit and Marth. I went even with his Pit a few weeks ago, it's good. But then he counterpicked me on FD with Marth... that was ugly. Marth is one of Snake's worst matchups I think...

This is what I do to Charizards. http://gfycat.com/InfantileUnfortunateHornbill#

So every once in awhile I notice that when I side B the tranq just does not come out. (See below) at around 1:38 in this video if the link does not work for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1qR3mSyWak#t=96 If you look at this, Pit blatantly should have been hit by the tranq dart but he...

FlashingFire: The act of planting the c4 on someone is a 6 frame move, if they move out of range during those 6 frames, the c4 just does not come out at all. Does this help? bicth: Interesting, I have noticed c4 falls off occasionally but I never tested the timing of it... I'm afraid if...

That one happened to be great in it's situation but I wouldn't say it's reliable. He merely caught his opponent off guard and capitalized, which is part of high level play for sure. Basically you've realized yourself why it's not reliable. Because not only can your opponent DI away from you...

Professor Pro: Great job at BEAST man, you are an inspiration! Learn so much every time I see you play. This is a bit off topic but can people elaborate on why they think Pit beats Snake? I feel Snake is at a disadvantage to a keep away game and Pit can do that really well on most stages..

Thanks man. I'll hit the lab. It just seems odd that I can consistently get it after the 2nd shot. Ah well -- practice makes perfect.

Question about the reload: Can it be done after the first shot of tranq? I've only ever been able to do it after the second shot. I love the new side B. Snake actually has a deadly neutral game now! Even if a character is defensive they still need offensive tools. Between grenades and...
