Nothing But the Good Stuff - A Quick List and Description of All the Good Threads​


That's right, I've looked so you don't have to. I've decided (in my never ending quest to make this the best section on all of SWF) to post a complete and comprehensive list of all of the useful threads pertaining to Snake. If you can't find it and you want to, check here first, then if you still can't find it, make a request and I will do my best to find it for you and post it. I will keep this thread totally devoid of any and all useless threads and I will index these by category.

And as always, PM me your suggestions, I will certainly take them into consideration

This thread is just perfect....mods don't seem to care to sticky very often nowadays, and the Snake subforums quite possibly may be the most informative ones on smashboards. Until the stickying comes around, this is exactly the kind of thing we needed to keep that significant info well circulated.

T*H*O*R your efforts are much appreciated.

Is there a thread about how to do dash attack immediately into an u-tilt. Better yet you can just answer me on this thread if you want instead of giving me the link. I know this is possible because I saw it once but what are the button inputs? timing?

I think you misunderstood. Dash attack into u-TILT not u-smash its shown in this video around 30 seconds http://gameroom.mlgpro.com/view/HMXtVxexN3o.html
So do you guys know the timing for this move?

The peanut cancelled the dash attack. You can never cancel the dash attack on your own into utilt. That's that.

edit: If you doubt me, the Snake player on that vid said so himself.

If cancelling dash attacks into utilts work, that would rock with Snake. But yeah, only dash attacks into usmash.
