Smash Lord
Snake
Matchup: 40:60 (-1)
Basic Info:
Snake is one of those characters that become easier to fight as you get better at the game. His killing power is fast and comes out early. He destroys on the ground and can force approach very easily. He has a very gimpable recovery, but is very heavy as well. He can be easily juggled, but don't expect aa free stock just by getting him into the air. He has good range as well as a phenomenal DACUS. He has many good camping tools which all rack damage very well.

Strategy:
- We can juggle Snake quite easily, a combination of nair and uair will result in a lot of damage for an airborne Snake. The uair is used to push him up when he takes out a grenade, and nair is used to give him lots of damage.
- Be careful with the bair, Snakes like to SDI out of it and hit you with their own bair.
- Snakes enjoy trading damage, they will hold grenades when you come to hit him. They can kill us very early with utilt, but we can kill them early (for a Snake player at least) as well with a good read.
- To fight a Snake well, we have to play with his zones. We don't want to be passive, but we also don't want to braveheart it in, because both of those way end badly for us. We have to stay close to him, but not so close that he can fair you, and then punish his whiffed moves and attempts at setting up c4 and mines.
