Smash Champion
What up guys, I've been playing brawl the past 3 days and have been using snake almost exclusively. He's much much different than any smash character from before, and difficult to use, so I'm finding the challenge for him rather enjoyable.
If you shield after pulling a grenade snake drops it on the ground. You can then pick it up and carry it like a normal item, giving you the chance to throw it up.
I like to use these similar to mines. I'll pull a grenade and roll back, plant a mine and roll back, then nikita towards the air hoping the opponent tries to jump over my traps.
Another series I use is throw a regular grenade, drop a grenade and roll in, then up smash. This gets an explosion in front, on top, and behind your character.
Sometimes I'll pull a grenade just for defense. It's not always easy to stop the opponent from approaching, so I'll shield after pulling a grenade, and then they blow up from attacking me.
I'll also pull grenades as I recover and hang on to them, so if the opponent hits me then they too will take damage. Since snake is pretty heavy you can give them a lot of damage before you die. The grenades don't always blow up tho so it's not super reliable.
For a ledge guard I'll run and jump off the stage and reverse grenade, this turns me around and sets me up to back air the opponent, if I miss the opponent they have a grenade waiting for them on the stage.
Another trick I like is to throw the grenade close to me, then dash attack at it to pick it up, then shield till it explodes. The dash attack ends pretty fast and can easily bait the opponent. You can also catch it with an aerial from throwing it close, for me I like using f airs to catch it. The grenade will blow you up because the lag from f air, but it least it covers you from your opponent.
I spam up smashes. The coverage they give you on the way down makes attacking with tilts and jabs much safer.
I only land c4 explosions occasionaly, I mostly use it for scare tactics. For example I have a c4 on the right side of the stage, and I'm on the left. I throw the opponent towards the explosion and then forward smash. I expect them to jump away from the c4 and into my f smash.
You can break up his jabs and tilts for your own style of attacks. I like f tilt (first hit), jab, d tilt. Also, using one attack at a time, and timing them slowly will help you catch people who try to roll around you.
The f smash is amazing, but hard to land, so I've been searching for set ups on that. After an up tilt I'll try to combo an up smash, once they get used to that they will avoid the up smash, thats when I go for an f smash in case they land to the side of me. If they begin going too far away after the up tilt I'll chase them with a nikita missle.
That's all I can think of for now, I'll be playing again today looking for more tricks, happy smashing!
