Official Snake Q&A Area

australian national doubles champs, only m2k can take us down.

good synergy is super important, but it works really, really well.

Well boths Diddy, & Snake are good with item control, so as long as Snake can refrain from mines\c4, or Diddy can keep track of the explosives i'd say it'd be pretty nice.

Guys i've been wondering after how many MK's up b does it become so stale it can't knock us out of Cypher? I know Dair only knocks you off at the first time

 

[ErikG]

Fatal and ADHD did really well teaming together.
From personal experience, if you have a halfway decent banana game, the team works well. Just make sure your partner is decent at being aware of explosions

After 3 Shuttle Loops, Snake is no longer knocked out of his Cypher by Shuttle Loop

 

[SeekHeart]

any tips when facing good DKs?

 

[Yumewomiteru]

protip 1: watch vids
protip 2: check matchup threads

 

[SeekHeart]

I don't think there's a DK snake MU thread

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

You could check the DK boards? Our MU discussion doesn't go very fast

 

[rPSIvysaur]

I'm saying that technically the jab doesn't cancel, you just wait for jab1 to end and then do a different attach, pressing the control stick down does nothing at all.

So I randomly poked around, and time to bust the lies in this one.

You do want to cancel with a "crouch". Here's the reason why. If you were to continue to use another attack (say F-tilt), you would continue to use your jab combo until after the attack animation is over, rather than at the optimal IASA point. However, when you crouch, you actually cancel the jab combo from continuing thus reaching optimal IASA. Of course, Snake's jab animation is really short overall, and this will make very little difference.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah, i'm sure that the other boards is where you'll have to go for match-ups pretty much. A decent amount of Snakes contribute to the discussion so it'd pretty much be the same thing as our MU discussion for someone if we had it.

The DK boards didn't have much on the MU other than just 50-50 and small tips for DK

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Maybe asking in the Fatal Q&A would help? =D

 

[FoolHater]

At 0:09-0:10 in this video, what are the circumstances for Snake's cypher to explode? This sometimes happens to me, so I was wondering if I could take advantage of the explosion (that is if it is somewhat strong or ranged).

Sorry if I forgot to post the video:

Yah Fetal mud gud against dk

 

[Elletrico]

How good is Snake with GnW?

 

[False]

GaW is compatible with just about anyone in doubles. He's an excellent choice for doubles

I'm pretty sure it's whenever Snake gets footstooled during his cypher. He also gets to use his cypher again if he gets footstooled.

The explosion doesn't do any damage, I don't think.

 

[Abel1994]

I lub being snake and all but the broken range makes it no fun to be him >.>

 

[Xcallion]

I swear abel, if you troll too many boards, people are going to get pissed at you

Where is that video of a Snake using all aerials against an MK and actually keeping the match close?

The fate is sealed with a 6 ban.

 

[Xcallion]

i knew it would happen eventually

?

 

[Xcallion]

do you have the link to the full match?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

No, it was a long match and on YI. I think it was winner's final or something.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

What tourney was that from?

EDIT:Also I have a question. I know that B-Reversing shifts our momentum when falling, so I was wondering what does it do when we get sent flying from a smash or something of the sort?

 

[the man]

What is a good button layout for snake? I'm trying to experiment some controls. Could someone post a few suggestions?

 

[Yumewomiteru]

tap off
z jump
R attack
Y grab
X shield

what I use.

 

[Attila_]

L to jump. just for oos and ledge stuff.

 

[SeekHeart]

tap off,
Y to grab
rest at defaults

 

[False]

Defaults with tap off


YEAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Reyney]

tap off
R to special for b-reversals,c4 or cypher immediately after jump or jumping nade tosses
x to attack for nade fsmash xD (rarely use it)

 

[Kuro~]

Natural setup and tap jump off. I can do everything fine with natural controls.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Same as False, & Kuro.

 

[Attila_]

No tap jump... You guys claw, right?

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

I use R jump, rest default (with Tap Jump)

tl;dr?

Default is best.

 

[Big Boss]

Hey, guys. I've been on the boards for almost a year now, and I love all the info you guys have on Snake, but my problem is: I'm not online a lot. So, I was wondering which info would you guys recommend I print out that way I can study when I'm not online? I understand that everything should be learned eventually, but I guess I'm asking is where I should start first.
