I was planning on using Meta Knight as a submain/main or possibly another new character, but seeing as Snake is quite uncommon over the rest of the newcomers' popularity, and he's just plain badass, I'll end up using him.



Any takers?

What I usually do (like when melee released) is unlock every character with my normal char (mario) and then check out who I like best.

The only reason I'm looking for a main in the newcomers is because I've played too much of melee and the same characters over and over. Looking for something new I suppose.

I hear ya, funny thing is I do the exact same thing. Use mario to unlock everything then see who I like. I went through alot of characters on melee and then back to mario.

It hopefully wont be this way in Brawl. Snake looks great, but for now, I plan on maining Diddy and Pkmn Trainer

His kicks and punches look awesome. He has a good chance of being my main cuz I'm a MGS fanboy.

If Metal Gear was your favorite game ever, I don't think you would have any doubts about maining Solid Snake.
Agreed. Same thing goes for all the people who have been playing Sonic almost all their lives.

They're definently going to lean towards playing him over the rest of the characters.

No offense, but that's just being arrogant. Especially since Snake seems like a pretty versatile char from what I've seen (and Sonic's moves seem like real high-tier material since you can control them pretty freely it seems), literally, a one man army.

Too true. BTW, what phrase would sum up one who is maining Snake and Yoshi? Oh well, I'll make one up. Metal Gear Yoshi FTW!

Anyway, Snake's moveset is coming along nicely.

i think you misundersood me. i'm not like anti 3rd party. i like the fact that snake is a pc. it's just that i see SSB as a game of nintendo mascots not other partys. also just for good meausure. tiers don exist

It really depends if I like his moveset when the game comes out since he wasn't playable in the demo.

He looks like he will be strong with medium speed and weight. Depends on how well that fits together.

I have to main Snake since I'm a huge fanboy of MGS. Some people are saying that they are MGS fans but they're going to wait and see if Snake's actually good or not?! Being a Mewtwo main in Melee, I don't understand this way of thinking. If you like a character you should play him regardless of his disadvantages in my humble opinion.

He's cool, but it wouldn't seem right maining him. I don't think that I could force myself to beat up Nintendo characters with him. I love Nintendo to much. Also, he seems like an outsider...

I don't get it when people are loyal to a company. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft.... All of them are just out to make a profit. A great game is a great game, and a great character is a great character. Besides, Metal Gear Solid had a remake on Gamecube anyway for you Nintendo loyalists.

Well spoken Enemy. Snake's inclusion represents a new way of thinking for developers and companies. This goes to show that cross-overs are OK, so hopefully devs will do it in the future for Smash or other games.

I'm all for 3rd party characters in Brawl, I said I just don't think I will play him because I could not beat up Mario with him.

What's wrong with beating up on Mario with Snake? Wouldn't it be the same stomping that dwarf plumber with any other character since you said that you are all for 3rd party characters?

I'm totally maining Snake and Link (again) in Brawl. I just hope Snake's speculated smash attacks aren't as awkward as they seem.

MGS is my favorite series, but I can't see myself maining Snake. His attacks don't suit him and seem like they'd take awhile to pull off.

well i'll give him a good shot, no point in not trying someone if you dont think he is good. Maining him will be one of my targets for brawl for me as well as sonic and fox

I've planned to main him since his profile was finally updated on the dojo. My favorite video game character of all time. :)

It's good to know that there are so many MGS fans who play Smash. The only reason why I started playing Melee was because Snake is on Brawl.

I've been a Smash Bros fan longer than an MGS fan, but I love both serieses. Snake being in Brawl is like some kind of nerd fantasy for me. :p
