D3 Users That Have Played Against Snake, I Have Some Questions.

First off, I'd like to address that I am a Kirby main at the moment and I've come to the realization that he just isn't good against Snake. You have a very light and pink monster with very limited approach options against snake's nades and beastly tilts.

I was thinking of trying out D3 since I used to main him prior to Kirby, however, there was this strategy that I thought of using that probably a lot of you have tried against Snake, but does it really work? here goes:

I haven't tried this out yet, but I will soon, but I wanna see if anyone else has done it that has played against Snake. Basically, camp Snake with the waddle-dees so he approaches you then go for a grab, then try to chaingrab him across the stage until you either fthrow or dthrow + dtilt him off the stage. Once he's off, he's gonna try to jump, so you have to try to gimp his jump with either a dtilt or ftilt. Once his jump is used, he's gonna try to upB, then you can catch him while doing it so that he just falls to his doom.

In the event, that he expects you to gimp his jump and upB's immediately so that his upB isnt near the ledge OR you gimp his jump far enough that he can still upB without being in grab range, you can pressure him with fairs or bairs or anything to make sure he doesn't come back so he has to keep reusing his upB, thus racking up damage.


Do any of these two options really work? In theory, it looks like it will, but when actually playing, is it doable? Please discuss. Thanks ^.^

Wouldn't you like to know pedo=/
Don't camp him, he's going to set up and combo you hard when he decides to stop throwiing nades and the homing missle. A good idea is to just keep using your F-tilt to keep your spacing on him. iirc it out ranges all of his attacks other then his dash, and maybe his f-tilt second hit.

Once you get him off the stage, that where the fun begins. Fairs and bairs are going to kill him at a reasonable percent. When he up+bs back to the stage. Chase him and then Up smash his ***. I think( not sure) that it out hits his dair, and nair. Then back air him off the stage again. Your aerial game easily beats his. Force him to challange his air game. Eventually your going kill him

This matchup is hard. I hate playing Snake with Dedede. I use DK because DK has an easier time and actually has an edge on Snake.

Approach with f-tilt and SHed b-airs then grab at close range, and once he's in the air/off the stage you can basically impose your will.
