I was against a phenominal snake and he kept using his spacing and timing of gernades so well. He just limited the stage and when I came close he used his close combat moves to push me back. Sure I could get missles and combos, but i couldn't KO him.

Zairs eat Snake and his projectiles for breakfast, and he has an incredibly easy-to-gimp recovery.

Kill his ground approaches with zair and his aerial approaches with up tilt. Don't let him camp by destroying his projectiles with zair. When he's close, try doing moves out of your shield. From there, just focus on getting him off the edge- you should be able to KO him from there.

Hope that's good advice. Good luck! :-)

That helped, but the mortar slide just let him go across the ****ing stage and spam some more, and when I'm distracted dodging the spam stuff he comes and we tumble with rolls and then AAA and I'm back where I started. I can't even use mind games when there is a mortar slide going everywhere.

Use uncharged blasts and homing missiles to congest snake. He can't mortar through an uncharged blast. If he starts ducking your projectiles, homing missiles still hit him.

Spacing Spacing Spacing.... With that said I still have difficult time in match up key is good use of your projectiles and hit and run offense when opportunity presents itself. Don't try to trade blows with Snake you will lose Snakes Forward Tilt and other tilts **** Samus up close. Also don't be afraid to go for spikes and gimp kills when opportunities present themselves hope this helps.

Snake is too too good. But only if your opponent knows exactly what he's doing. A video might help me find a hole in his strategy...

well one good thing to know is that samus ***** snake in the air. You can combo the hell out of him pretty easily. SHHM to utilt is pretty good against snake both as a set up and as a KO strat.

I don't think Samus' grapple beam (her grab) works on airborne opponents...does it? So I don't think grabbing Snake would work. And also most "good" snakes cancel the cypher as soon as they're on par with the stage so it's kind of a manual sweetspot. So as people notice more and more it's gonna be a lot harder to get that gimp. It certainly works though..:laugh:
