Ok, right sorry, this will sound stupid, but apart from Snake's side smash, what is Snake's best KO move?

I was thinking neutral A combo or Forward Tilt?

And technically, the side smash isn't the best KO move. It's the strongest, and it will KO at the lowest percent, but you also have to consider how easy it is to use.

I would say utilt is better because the side smash takes forever to use and is nearly impossible to hit with if the opponent is good.

Uptilt is the most frequent way most people get kills, but you can also do other things like intercept jumps/airdodges with nair, jab combo which is actually deceptively strong, C4. Honestly it's harder to find moves with snake that don't kill so the best advice is use a move that isn't diminished that will hit in the given situation you find yourself in.

Meh, i find it really hard to do uptilts. I either do an upsmash or a jump. And yes, i know i can use X and Y to jump, but i find that awkward.

upsmash builds dammage, gernades build dammage and i usually dont use the AAA combo to kill unless all my other moves are deteriorated and the oopp is like at 140.

uptilt kills like a mother and its just way too quick. ftilit at the ledge kills well and you can try c4s

Hmm, ok Utilt it is then.

Just a quick question, do you guys use up to jump, or have you set it for X and Y?

I've always used up to jump, but i find it hard to do Utilt. Should io try pratcising Utilt, with tap to jump on? Or should i just start practising using X and Y to jump?

im going to go a different route on this one lol. u-tilt is nice, but the horizontal range of it sucks.

d-tilt though, can be quite deceptive and has pretty decent vertical knockback. It can get many characters in the lower 100%'s if i am not mistaken.

Up tilt.
However, Fsmash is strong, but almost impossible to hit. Uptilt is much better..

Yeah, Bair is pretty good. And down tilt for that matter.

Gah, i just cant do it. X is so awkward to jump with, id rather stick to tapping up.

Thats no U-tilt for me then ¬_¬

nair is really useful in doing alot of damage and the last hit has really good knockback.
and u-tilt is probably snakes most awesome move. it has like a stupidly massive hitbox and really good knock back. but for alot of my kills i just do the jab combo or the f-tilt combo.

utiiiilt lol. if youre having it hard to do, barely tilt the joystick up so you wont do an up smash. i also find c4 a good KO move
