Official Snake Q&A Area

[Attila_]

catching people offguard with nades is ALL about joining nades together. extended and linked explosions catch timewasters offguard ALL THE TIME. i recommend practicing it.

 

[Elletrico]

What are some of Snake's best approaches, and what use does jab have?

 

[Attila_]

snake's approaches? that's funny. he doesn't have any 'good' ones. you can dash attack, dacus or dash grab, but it probably won't go to well. better off camping or baiting. seriously.

i mainly use jab to bait rolls or spotdodges, cause it ends quick and you can punish most things with ftilt/utilt.

 

[False]

Approach with utilt LOL

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

What are some of Snake's best approaches, and what use does jab have?

His jab has a couple of different uses. The machine jab (hold A) can catch rolls and other moves if they happen to beat it. Jab by itself leads into ftilt, grabs, utilt, fairly well. But is never guaranteed.

Approaching with snake is generally bad, but mortar slide and dash attack are probably the best approaches he has.

 

[Attila_]

machine jab is generally bad at high level play.

its too easy to sdi then punish.

nice if linked to ftilt though.

also note that some characters can ps machine jab after a spotdodge. diddy, falco and d3 are notable examples.

 

[SpeedyJ]

Would anyone know if GaW's F-Tilt can punish the second hit of Snake's F-Tilt? Thanks

 

[Attila_]

oos? very much doubt it.

i know diddy's bair oos can, which is 8 frames from memory. gw dtilt is a fair bit slower than that.

if you mean after it's hit gw shield, then it would depend entirely on spacing and/or issdi.

 

[SeekHeart]

How do you bait with snake? o.o

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Spacing your tilts to their maximum range is one of your best ways. Also using F-Tilt 1 and not too also helps since 2 is way more punishable if they can shield it.

But really in most cases you can also just limit their options with projectiles and kinda herd them like sheep. Its fun.

Hello Snake boards; just a question. What do you think about the R.O.B. MU and why? Thanks in advance!

Could anybody answer this with a ratio if possible? Please help a R.O.B. mainer out! xD

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I kind of always saw the R.O.B. mu as even, maybe 55:45 Snake. o-o

 

[Kuro~]

55:45 snake

 

[etecoon]

6:4

not very often that I give snake more credit than others and I think he's not that amazing overall, but I think this particular MU is underrated for him, snake beats ROB very soundly IMO

 

[False]

Close to +2 Snake

 

[KMFBrawler]

60:40 in Snake's favor

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I think I may have heard this before, but does Snake have a grab release on Wario? Someone was telling me about this at a tourney this past weekend.

 

[F A N G]

Grab Release Thread

 

[False]

Ralph we pretty much can air release Wario into any aerial.. although dair is quite tricky to land.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Oh o-o Would've possibly made my weekend easier then. >_<

 

[False]

..yeah. remember your important grab releases!! Ie) air release Falco >> dash attack

 

[Kuro~]

Oh o-o Would've possibly made my weekend easier then. >_<

We can also utilt and sticky them out of a grab release. Also, a pivot grab isnt guarenteed but is a pretty good mixup when they are at low % if they break out b4 you stop pummeling or something of that nature. Also, ralph. Two words...tech chase. Wario is so easy to do it to. I can literally do it on reaction time alone. Something you have to learn how to do. it's easily a free 40% or more each time. Cuz after all, we are human. (except hrnut, he's a super african )

..yeah. remember your import ant grab releases!! Ie) air release Falco >> dash attack

And we can also DAC regrab him.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I did tech chase. =D But that u-tilt to sticky thing sounds awesome, & the Falco grab release sounds awesome as well.

 

[Yumewomiteru]

..yeah. remember your important grab releases!! Ie) air release Falco >> dash attack

we can grab release chaingrab him to the edge then grab release fair spike.

 

[Kuro~]

we can grab release chaingrab him to the edge then grab release fair spike.

WOAH WAIT WHAT? Fair is guarenteed? No way! o.0 :awe:

 

[Attila_]

i dont believe you. not for a second.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

That sounds awesome, but is it too much effort for all of that?

 

[oLJo]

I'm having serious problems with the diddy matchup... Any tips on banana control and how to handle diddy in general?

 

[PZ]

Guyz how do I not get utilt juggled as cf?

You know how a cpu who knows it has a good utilt or usmash will continue timing it at the right time such as tink n link.

Amaterasu Okami(AIB) utilted 5 times in kill percent(starting at 133%)

 

[etecoon]

solution: don't play wifi snakes

5 utilts in a row should never happen lmao

 

[Ralph Cecil]

That's just their way of saying they're thirsty. So give them a nice Falcon Punch. =D

 

[PZ]

solution: don't play wifi snakes

5 utilts in a row should never happen lmao

Hmm I was expecting this answer but heres the problem. I dair we trade hits if im lucky, uair wont work, bair yea not happening, and nair worser than bair.

HE occupied my landings with explosions so I tried to get past him n got utilted multiple times.

Wifi only player so no way dude! South GA sucks ballz.

Also ralph cecil I tried that but apparently snake's dair has the most ******** hitbox ever!

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Have you tried Falcon Kick? I've seen it work for Ganon.

 

[PZ]

Have you tried Falcon Kick? I've seen it work for Ganon.

I really dont try to abuse wifi but ok. Might be too obvious sense he was a decent snake.

 

[F A N G]

Do you have any advice for Yoshi's Island?

I played there once and got completely destroyed. The platform was constantly in the way, I couldn't land. It's just.... so small.

I'd rather not ban it, I hate Brinstar far more and most people don't CP there

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Learn to use the giant platform correctly in terms of stage control. Setting a landmine or C4 on top and the other under can really limit some characters options. Because its a small stage with a platform that covers 80% of the stage you can camp hard against a lot of characters.

Also learn to Platform Cancel when the platform is tilting. It helps.

 

[Kuro~]

I love yoshi's island...all my mk friends ban that against me instead of hablerd now

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Lol you could do what I do, & just place c4 on the platform, & just camp like hell once you're on top of it. ^_^

Attack teching

How does this work? I was able to get it on ceilings but not on the ground. Can you do it on the ground? Bair --> tech while landing seems like it could be useful. But I don't know if it's possible.

 

[Attila_]

im more interested about walls.

dunno if you'd ever be able to pull out an aerial fast enough in a real game situation; you normally cant even airdodge.
