I think theyre neutral. MK completely shuts down snakes aerial game, but snakes ground game is far superior to MK's. theyre B moves are both amazing, and theyre recoveries are both above average

whats your intake on this matchup?

Meta knight wins. He is to fast for snake to keep up. Meta can shield pressure all day and hardly get punished with his lagless air game. Then only thing snake has on meta is meta is very light and get's KO from snakes tilts early. Meta just needs to get you off the stage once to kill you.

The Main Question is, how well can Snake hold his ground before he is forced offstage?

snake can keep mk away and if mk tries tornado all snake has to do is shield and u-tilt right after

Meta Knights recovery is great, now shut up about what he friggin said, that doesn't really matter.


My input would be to learn battlefield well, because snake is gonna take you there.

I think 50-50, maybe a slight advantage either way but overall even enough that whoever plays better usually wins anyway regardless IMO. both can do some really disgusting things to each other. Although I think it's generally pretty easy for snake to avoid gimping, which makes him obnoxiously hard to kill when he can up tilt you to death way too early. personally I'd rather be on the snake side of this matchup but that's just because I'm better with him I think...

If mk can gimp snake, the mk has a slight advantage. However, like M2K said, good snakes will always use their cypher to go high in the air and it becomes almost impossible to gimp them. These snakes usually up to 150-180 with good di.

Also, a grenade campy snake gives mk a lot of problems since it forces to mk to play more defensively and restricts the use of tornado.

I think meta knight has a small edge on snake.
Mainly because of meta's recovery is a bit more flexible then snakes.

Like M2K said, good Snakes won't let you gimp them so easily. Because of that, one of MK's biggest advantages on Snake is pretty much gone.

I'd say it's even, or 55-45 for MK at most.

Learn to tornado snake when he holds a grenade. Just go near him and hover... dair if he doesn't shield. If he does, nado his head. This will force Snake to do things more on the offensive, and from there you are good to go.

when he holds a grenade and you tornado toward him, cant the snake shield drop the grenade, and do damage to MK?

You have to hit the grenade. You can space your attacks to force him to shield, thus dropping the grenade. Once he drops it, nado.

Read my signature, people. That's the answer to prevent getting gimped by MK. Honestly, it makes me feel like I'm talking to a bunch of idiots.
And so far I noticed the people who say MK owns Snake, are either ROB, Falco, or any other character with projectiles. That explains your delusions of why Snake seems easier than MK, because you can OUTCAMP snake!
