I had to stop playing Snake b/c I kept playing him like Wario, and I'm not Azen, I can't get away with that

You're better than me so I can't really say anything. If anything, you helped me improve my matchups just by watching, haha. That banana lock looked brutal.

 

[napZzz]

I didn't see many problems actually, you performance vs. m2k was excellent, I'm sure not many can say they've taken m2k to his last stock twice in a set.

The diddy performance was good for the most part, although you should have tried off stage bairs more IMO, its really easy to knock diddy out of both his recoveries with it and at least add alot of damage to him or force him to lose a stock if you can get an edge hog in.

I like how well you use AC aerials

thanks...i'll def. take the Bair's into consideration

what mainly annoys me is against m2k.....i seem to do well....but as soon as i do 1 mistake it seems like i cant do anything about it and a whole stock dissapeirs...there has to be something snake can do in the air against a good mk to get back on the ground....i just dont know how :-\

 

[UltimateRazer]

Thats how I felt vs him second match when I played him. OK first you need to perfect your DI so you can live longer...accept from shuttle loop, thats just stupid.

Bair is good if hes just dairing up or some air. As I need to do...more grenade grabbing and down grabbing but make sure you don't get punished for it....and more traps.

i dont really play regularly against a good mk, but i have plently of skilled diddy experience - and i normally win.

some thoughts:

against diddy i rarely mortar slide, espc on smashville. its just too punishable; if you miss or he dodges chances are youll be eating bananas and get comboed. i find mixing boost grabs and standard dash attacks to be quite effective, however.

nair is also overrated in this matchup imo, cause it simply takes too long. im not talking about acing or anything, just in general, it comes out a little slow and takes ages before the move finishes. as with mortar sliding, it can be punished. on stage i only really use uair in this matchup, cause its fast, always (seems) to go through diddy's dair/nair/uair and can be aced. bair off stage is essentially; if diddy is offstage and below the ledge, he really shouldnt get back; you should be gimping him. keep in mind you cant stage spike him out of the barrels (he slides up the edge), so try and hit either reversed or with your head. that spike at the end of one the matches shouldnt have happened i dont think, cause uair always gets me out of that situation.

as far as throws are concerned, when diddy's at decent damage and near the edge, i generally fthrow/bthrow him off the edge, because he doesnt go particularly high, and may be forced to use the barrels, giving you a chance to gimp.

did you counterpick smashville on the second match? its probably the worst stage for snake here. very small (bananas control approx. half the stage) and the platform will save him more than it saves you. trust me, even fd is better. but battlefield/norfair/brinstar are even easier.

theyre my thoughts anyway.

haha...yea it seems like m2k kept falling for every mine.....and i should of tech chased more...but yea i do need to DI better!

hmmmm...well mainly i used motarslide over just dash attack b/c it helps me get my distance and pick the banana up....but usually i do the dash attack-> motarslide thingy so it does more damage and it gives them 2 hits....usually ppl only block the 1st hit and try to counter and then fall for the 2nd part

however....you are def. right about the Uair.....i cant believe i didnt think of that...it would of def. help me out in alot of the situations...especially the gimp at the end of the 2nd match which ended up costing me the set...i should of def. thrown the diddy off the edge more

well smashville is 1 of my favorite stages....but i know i shouldnt of countered it....i usually just go halberd...but for some reason after the first match i felt like i should of done better and being arrogant like myself i went back there

but yea thanks for the advice ^_^

 

[CO18]

**** I like ur snake. m2ks gimping is harsh. And the ending of that adhd match was pretty insane.

 

[ANTi_]

Yeah M2K gimps like a bish.. But i beat ADHD recently by camping with snake you tried to be too agressive and trust me being aggresive doesn't work against him (unless your m2k)

 

[xxCANDYxx]

co18: yea those matches were harsh for me....but i still love those sets haha

yea i know your suppose to camp against diddy...i just never really used to camp at all....md/va always had a problem with playing "gay"...but after trevor came down here....he convinced me to play to win....so now i'll camp if i have too LOL :-P

 

[Attila_]

outcamp diddy? i havent heard that one. bananas > everything. once he pulls out two of them and comes at you youre normally in trouble. ive never seen a video of a campy snake being successful against a solid diddy, either

Ask ADHD everytime he picked up a banana i threw a grenade which exploded so the bananas were either expired or in my control.

 

[xxCANDYxx]

yea gernades **** bananas...especially when they just trying to get them out...gotta start doing that more lol

 

[~ Gheb ~]

If you try to Edgeguard Olamear there's a trick you should do...you could've done it @4:11 in your match vs Pyronic Star (even though it doesn't matter since you won anyways). Before you ledgehog Olimar lay a grenade near the ledge but make sure the explosion won't hit you. Most Olimars use their UpB earlier when you hog ledge since they get a little boost and land on the stage....but if the grenade is there it'll blow him off the stage again.

Also Idk why but you never tech chased Olimar...his techroll goes absolutely nowhere lol. You can just stand in place and see where he rolls and regrab him all day long.
