How popular of a character is snake going to be?

From what I've seen there has only been a few players right now in vids. I know that the NA version isn't out yet, but I'm just curious about how popular of a character he is. I've always liked being someone that isn't used as much. I'm going to main him either way, just curious.

I think many people will like playing him but would not main him. He's my personal favorite though =)
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. Everyone is wondering about Snake, but at this point I don't think he'll be top tier so we shouldn't see as many Snake players as we did Fox and Falco in Melee.

Nice to see I'll have some support when it comes to maining snake. I'm going to need some help for my site tournaments :dizzy:

Is someone making a snake guide that already has the game?

well you have o realize that Snake is a very unique characterin this game. He isn't a popular character amongst many die hard nintendo fans because he didn't get famous on a nintendo console. Snake is a cool character but he calls for a different audience than the usual fantasy oriented nintendo character ( ignoring the camouflaged ninja clones of MGS ). Still he has been quite popular from what I've seen from videos.

I think we'll see a lot of people test him out. So, in the beginning, we're going to see a lot of Snake users, because, well ya know, IT'S FREAKIN' SOLID SNAKE!

But, because of the need for precision in using his moveset with mindgames ( He's going to be a HUGE mindgame character), a lot of those people are going to switch to more in-your-face, go-in-and-flail-around characters like Marth and MetaKnight or something. Although, the people who get good with Snake, I will be very afraid, and you should too.

He's definately gunna be a popular character, he has crazy awesome moves. His DSmash, V B, >B, B, FSmash, Ftilt, USmash, and Jab... are godly. I could go on and on and on about Snake's pwnage, but you should get the point.
