if snake jabs people, it can combo into F tilt, but if you're unsure about your timing with this, or just wanna mix it up a bit, do snake's jab, then short hop dair them. If they block it it will either break their shield, almost break their shield, or shield stab them and probably kill them.

most characters die at like 80% from snake's Dair, even sooner with bad DI.

If you edge hog DDD's up B at like ~95/100% and short hop dair him, he'll die like 99% of the time.

you can do so many things after snake's jab, like C4 sticky them, or grab them, none of this is guaranteed, only F tilt is guaranteed, but it's still really cool to do.

I don't think any of those were true combos but they were all good ideas. That jab-jab-bair combination sounds like a good trick though.

In all honesty this combo really isn't that great. I dont see it working against good players, since my little brother just rolls away after the jab.

So, now you know you can chase him into a Down Throw Tech Chase. This isn't the 'ultimate combo' for Snake, just another tool to mind game people.

I've been doing Dairs out of a lot of stuff for a long time. Dair is under rated.

Now we need more uses for Fair. I can't get it to spike most of the time :(

Wait a minute, I think I was mistaken for a moment. Are you doing the entire Jab (all three hits) and then a dair? Woudln't that knock the opponent too far back?

I meant Dair back there. A good way too mess up DDDs recovery is to hit him with a autocanceled nair as he's coming to the ground. but yea, jab canceling is amazing with snake. Don't forget jab canceling into grabs.

jab f tilt, is an ACTUAL Combo, that ALWAYS works vs EVERY character, if you time it right

if you don't trust your timing, you can do jab to dair, it's also a good mix up

however, if your timing with jab f tilt is perfect, just do that every time
lol no way i could pull off something like that. game's too tech skill based... -_-""

thanks M2K, I got like 10 kills with this on my buddy a couple minutes a go. He's so used to me doing jab ftilt lol. God I love Snake's mindgames, Snake is like the only reason I occasionally play Brawl. (Misses Captain Falcon's mindgames...)

no, im not. in fact, i just dominated a tournament in your area, i dont think you were there

im not saying brawl is more technical than melee or anything, but brawl tech is required to win matches, especially when it comes to shielding, rolling, utilization of move-buffering, dodging , air dodging, and auto-canceling. there was only like 2-3 people in your area who somewhat did all these things effectively, and even then, most of them lost matches simply due to killing themselves, another product of bad tech. people joke about brawls tech skill, but i dont see those people winning any tournaments or doing anything impressive.
