3 Snakes on a Dojo!

[Mic_128]

<p align="center">Well, following up the news of screens of Snake shown by Koonami at TGS, we’ve been hit by literally a barrage of Snake in todays update. Today Snake’s been revealed, along side his Music AND Special moves!</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/snake.jpg" alt="Biga news!" /></p>
<p align="center"><!--more--></p>
<p align="center">First off, the music (<a href="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music11.html">which can be listened to here.</a>)</p>

<p align="center">It’s made by Koonami.
Composition Supervisor: Nobuko Toda
Arrangement Supervisor: Akihiro Honda
<p align="center">Onto Snake’s Special moves.</p>

<p align="center"><strong>Standard Special Attack</strong>
Hand Grenade: Press B and Snake whips out a grenade and pulls the pin. Think of it like Link’s Down B, but with less time on the bomb.
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/snake_070921i-l.jpg" alt="Explosive Snakes on a plane?" /></p>
<p align="center">There’s a tiny bit of interesteng info along with this. Previously there was 3 strengths you could throw something: Fast, by doing a “Smash” throw, medium with a “tilt” throw, and slow by just tapping A, but it’s a little diferent this time.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">There are three ways to throw the grenade.
Tilt the Control Stick forward, not at all, or <strong>backward</strong>.</blockquote>
<p align="center"><strong>Forward Special</strong>
Remote Missile: Snake lets loose a Fly-by-wire missile that he controls.
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/snake_070921g-l.jpg" alt="It's hard thinking up Snake jokes when you've never played his games : (" /></p>
<p align="center">While you’re controling the missile, you’re sitting there defensless. Well almost. If you’re about to be attacked, you can cancel controling the missile with Shield.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/snake_070921h-l.jpg" alt="No reason to shield, just hit him with the missile." /></p>

<p align="center"><strong>Up Special</strong>
Cypher: This was seen in that footage from Koonami. He pulls out his reconnacance camera and flies up high on it to return to the fight.

Looks very nice. Amazing to see how more "mature" characters are able to be worked in with Mario and Peach.

And rofl at the box attack, along with the choke-hold on Ike.

 

[Kamaka]

Snake is my hero! Just imagine... he needs a stage, too!

 

[F@lc0-san]

PK Thunder+Super missle= Snake's missle..

aka Epic win.

 

[Tanvis]

Since we now know that Snake's controllable missile can be stopped with shield....do you think Ness' PK thunder could be stopped with shield too? This also raises the question...does Snake fall slowly like Ness when using his controlled attack...or can he just not fire the missile in the air? OR if he can fire it in the air (like Ness) would canceling it cause an air dodge? .........Hmm

 

[blayde_axel]

It's most likely his grab... but. you never know.

 

[drewdizzal]

the mgs song sounds epic. anyone know where the music thread is? i wanna give it a DL and put it on my phone

 

[tirkaro]

anyone else find it weird that the music is from MSG4, a PS3 exclusive game?

 

[Homelessvagrant]

Love the character, love the music. What it seems like it takes a third party developer to get anything close to orchestrated music. Not that I'm complaining, I just adore Snake's inclusion to brawl.

But guys who says Snake's the only mature character in brawl, What about Link and Samus? Bood, violence and cussing doesn't make a character mature.

 

[Raym]

¿No Snake @$$ joke in the title? = FAIL

 

[lukintosh]

Eh? Sakurais decided to release the unlockables? Nice! But what about Falcon and Ness?

 

[bksands77]

i like how they gave us a new different render of him

they also made his costume a tad lighter and blueish

btw i love the thread title lol

 

[Undrdog]

Back throw? Neck snap.

Mario: "Hey why isn't Ike teching?"

 

[9bit]

These revealed moves don't look like they'll help Snake in the tournament scene. Still very cool stuff.

 

[VA]

Surprise Ike...BUTTSECKS

 

[Homelessvagrant]

These revealed moves don't look like they'll help Snake in the tournament scene. Still very cool stuff.

As If, stats and properties make top tier, not attacks. That's why Kirby is top tier in melee but bottom tier in Melee.

 

[F@lc0-san]

He has friggin plantale mines, mean, thats just sick imo.

 

[quithas]

Sonic

Im gonna cry I cant wait for this game. I wanna kick some nintendo character *** with snake lol. But I still wonder if Sonic is gonna be in Brawl. Im real happy Snake is in it and its Wi-Fi but Sonic would put the icing on the cake for me. I cant wait to see what happens.

Sora would do that for me. He would be so awsome in brawl.

 

[Fawriel]

Mic, I must say I'm a little disappointed with your work here.

Let's try to interpret some screenies.

Probably the normal grab. Finally a character who actually "grabs" the way he did in his game!

Now, this is... apparently the down-smash.
Interestingly enough, it was speculated that the bazooka aimed diagonally at the ground, seen in the second trailer, was his down-smash. Yet he also appears to have an f-tilt kick and a forward attack where he thrusts both his hands down in front of himself.
Perhaps the downwards bazooka is his down tilt.
After all, giving him a projectile forward smash seems overkill. Up is fine since it's far easier to hit anyone right above you, but a bazooka f-smash would make him uber in FFAs.


Also, his grenade is probably nothing like Link's bombs at all.
"Press your special-move button to pull out the pin. The grenade will explode after a few seconds, so be aware of the time and press the special-move button again to toss the grenade."
"In some cases, grenades you drop may get returned to sender."

The bombs explode as soon as they hit an enemy. These will only explode a certain time after the plug is pulled.


So all in all, Snake seems to have some good combo tilts and very unusual, and probably veeery slow but powerful smashes.
He'll be quite interesting to watch for sure.

 

[Limey]

Cool update.

I guess now the possibilities for updates - of secret characters - are limitless.

 

[IM_A_HUSTLA]

edgegaurding anyone?

 

[MysticKenji]

This is a very good way to end a week.

 

[Flatfeet]

Once again, the week ends with an incredible update to keep us going until Monday.

If that is indeed his grab, how will he grab Bowser? Unless they're putting some thought into it, I don't think that could be his throw. The other throws all work with the other characters.

 

[BuSHiDo]

This is by far the best Friday update we've ever had. Maybe even the best update. A cool character revealed, the music for his stage, and his special moves, all in one night. It doesn't get any better than that.

The only thing I'm concerned with is that while Snake's attacks look cool, they don't look extremely effective. They seem to be the type of moves that would be pretty slow and hard to use for combos and juggles. I'm hoping that his grab game is absolutely awesome, and his tilts are powerful enough to not need to use the smashes too often.

I also really hope that his nikita missile has more knockback than Samus' tilt missile, cuz that thing basically had none. I guess if you use it to hit someone while they're off the stage, it could be an edge guard, but it wouldn't be too smart to use during a free for all. And yeah, I'm now positive that his down tilt is the stinger missile into the ground and I think it'll have the same speed and power as Samus' down tilt, but send the opponent more away than up.

Edit - Oh, and what do you guys think about that up-B recovery? It looks like it covers a good amount of distance, but it also might be some kind of slow meteor smash magnet. I wonder if you can control the direction of the cypher while you're flying with it.

 

[Pizza Robo]

Good to see Snake again i like his attacks

ROFL that's the first thing I'm going to do lol. If he does grab Bowser like he grabs Ike then I'll piss myself.

 

[shadowari]

Woot snake is going to be able to choke people from behind and attack people with the box! lol
The music is really awesome, i can't wait to be fighting with that music playing in the backround.

 

[Sneaky 2.0]

I don't think Snake springing out of the cardboard box was an attack to scare Mario. That's just Mario's freefall animation after he either uses his Up special or uses an air dodge.

No the card board box is the brawl version of shine. LOLZ

Sneaky 2.0: here's a slightly smaller version of that pic.




I also gave it a link. If you want a different link when clivking it thena ask me. if you don't want a link then just erase the Url closed parts.

 

[Eyemeralds]

The Bazooka and Mine idea...

Yeah I go with people on the bazooka-mine idea that the bazooka is like mewtwo or Samus' down attack and the mine is a down be, like Peach not liking a turnip thats filled with explosives, and dumps it! Sweet snake!

 

[falcofuku69]

i hope when snake is grabbing ike neck you can choose to snap his neck, or jab a dagger into his spine, lol

 

[Homelessvagrant]

ghh, how would that work???

*Snake breaks Mario's neck*

CRITICAL DAMAGE

*Mario flies of the screen.*

K.O. (lolz)

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Wow! BEST WEEK EVER!
Sure, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday all sucked, but between Tuesday and today... it doesn't matter!

One big question answered, and one previously unmentioned character totally revealed!
And GOD do I love that music!!!

EDIT:
Too bad Ike is dead now...

 

[quithas]

You know after seeing snakes moves Im starting to wonder what his final smahs is gonna be. I bet its gonna be awesome.

 

[shipoffools]

this update totally breaks all the rules that we established as rules. now with a little over 2 months remaining (geek!) there is no end to the possibilities that could be presented to us. wooot!

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

@quithas:
It's going to be one hell of an explosion! That's what it will be!

Also, I like how MGS4 weasled it's way into Brawl. I thought we'd only be getting MGS:TS references, but now maybe we'll get something more?... Old Snake alternate skin? w00t.

 

[Smarty Guy]

Also, it looks like characters react differently to grabs, too.
I mean, do you think Ike would pose just like that if he got grabbed by the clawshot?

 

[Lemon Drop]

Awesome!! Woot Woot!

Proves the World Icon Theory right again :D

 

[LuigiKing_Pwns]

Some one yesterday told me that snake would not be revealed till the game comes out now i would just like to say : IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!! and snkae looks awesome
