The first time I visited the Snake boards I noticed everyone saying the Nikita is Snake's worst move. So, ever since then I dedicated all of my time playing Snake to finding some sort of use for Nikita because I knew it had high potential. So here is what I found out.
Water Canceled Nikita (WCN):
(I havent seen this one the boards so I went ahead and gave it a name ^^')
This is a pretty fun technique. What you do is start up a Nikita while falling into some water. When you land in the water the Nikita keeps on traveling in the same direction without stopping. If you are high enough out of the water you can angle it up and get a Nikita going straight up or if you dont have time to angle you get a low horizontal one. Delfino Plaza has low enough platforms that you can do multiple WCN's across the stage. Pirate Ship is not very good for this at all sadly.
Nikita Circles (lawl):
Start a Nikita and turn it around immediately and start circling it around Snake. This has some serious mind games, your opponent doesn't quite know what to do. At any time if they try to approach you can stop circling and send it in there direction. When you see the Nikita start to slow down aim it up so that when your opponent starts to charge I could fall down on top of them. This is mostly for kicks and giggles but can be good.
Instant Vertical Nikita:
Have you ever tried to angle a Nikita upwards for some mind games but it just takes to long? You have? Well then this is the technique for you. What you do is shield drop a grenade then send a Nikita towards the grenade. If timed right the grenade should blow up the Nikita and send straight up without losing any speed. What I do is shield drop grenade roll away, shield drop grenade roll away then fire your Nikita towards the nades. It should blow up on the first grenade. Not many people fall for falling Nikita's (haha) but its worth a shot.
Last Resort Nikita:
Have you ever been grabbed out of your Cypher when recovering but your C4 is already out so you wont have time to blow it up, put it out and blow it up again? Well I realized that you can have a final Nikita going after your opponent before you die. If your opponent stands right on the edge after the grab release you can barely angle it up and hit them, most people wont see it coming. If they move back to the center of the stage then send it straight up. Just a another explosive that is hard to predict.
(forgot to put this in when I made this thread, also didnt realize I could change the title)
Well here are my funny Nikita tricks. None of them are really ground breaking but they all can have there uses. Tell me what you think.
