Simply because people suck, and are lazy.
Dair is easy to SDI out of, can't see why you're trying to even argue otherwise.
I can't refute this.
Except until people start doing it, it's fact......
As for spacing, it should be good. Snake isn't the greatest threat in the air and lacks the speed and mobility to make his aerials a genuine threat.
A "genuine threat"? WTF does that even mean? His aerials kill you at low %s, and aren't slow as balls, and have good hitboxes. You don't need mobility for your aerials to be good. Not all aerials are used to chase people down/ Juggle. Some are used to scare your opponent so they can't attack you without risk, like snakes.
He's a huge threat in the air, just a little predictable.
As for FF and airdodge, what is stopping the opponent from simply staying on the ground?
If they stay on the ground, you can double jump/ B reverse to avoid juggles.
I do think staying on the ground is better, but thats because I don't want to mess up and get Baired when I can just abuse the fact that snake lacks ways to land lol
Let's not play the hypothetical and work with what we have.
In the air, SNake is vulnerable, not because he can't kill you, but simply because once he is in the air, his options are not as versatile or as great of a threat.
Dair= gets killed by SDI
Nair=killed by SDI
Fair=slow as ****
bair= rather good but stays out forever, and is extremely predictable if he has his back turned.
Yeah, you don't Dair with snake when your opponent isn't grounded.
Nair is kinda weird. It's mostly useful for stopping people from approaching from the front. Honestly, I don't even try to full Nair, but let them get hit, then immideatly fastfall, so I escape while they get out.
Fair is basically only for reading your opponent.
Bair is covered. Fortunately for snake, not everyone has Uairs and fastfalls as good as MK so that they can easily punish both FFAD and Bair
So yeah, his air game is lacking, and no it is not good.
It's limited in it's uses sure, but it does what it needs to do, and does that pretty well
Edit: So Aly uses it. your point? Is it being used successfully? Does the opponent SDI it properly? You've got to take those things into account.
Until people stop sucking at SDI, yeah, it works.
