Official Snake Q&A Area

[Kuro~]

I do it once i lose a stock as well o.o at least on Bf and Yi cuz of where i respawn.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah more or less just do it whenever they can't hurt you it seems lol.

 

[Crackle]

That Psycho ****** video was pretty funny at some times. But surprisingly decent at others.

Real talk though, we gotta implement hop-> hop-> dair as an out of shield option. It's clearly Snake's best aerial attack.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Better than bair, & fair()

 

[Kuro~]

Yo if you learn fairs spacing to a tee it becomes sooooo good in certain situations.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I know, I use it all the time, & hit it over half of the time lol.

 

[False]

did I just read that Fair was useful?

 

[Attila_]

fair can be useful.

i sometimes foil edgeguards with it.

just make sure you start it up when you're in between being in a bubble, and being on screen.

you're opponent actually has no chance to react lolol

 

[MVD]

It's true my fairs yesterday were ****** seibrik

 

[theONEjanitor]

i pretty much never use fair (on purpose)

 

[Kuro~]

Haha i love using fair on peach when she's in float :3 it's soooooo good <3

I also have read ppls jump to fair to FF to PS to uptilt...several times in a match. It's hilarious to see.

 

[False]

if someone can show me a video of someone using fair successfully against a good player I will smd.

 

[MVD]

Ima have one uploaded soon

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

what frame does snake leave the ground from jumping? 9 or 10?

 

[Kuro~]

10 or 11 ik that for sure.

I feel like it's 11...dunno.

 

[Attila_]

11 from memory. Two frames slower than bowser.

 

[Kuro~]

Well i felt like it was 11 cuz i remember comparing it to warios.

yay i was right

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Wow. Jumping out of shield is dumb. Dair is his fastest option, it can DIed out of, but shield drop -> ftilt is like the same amount of time and guaranteed damage (can kill) and larger range. Uh... When is it ever safe to jump out of shield as snake? Drop shield seems so much better giving his stupid tilt ranges.

 

[Attila_]

Jumping oos? Punishes spaced rising aerials from behind lol

 

[False]

I actually do that to Marths and I (usually) trade bair with their retreating fair.

 

[Attila_]

that's exactly what i was thinking lol

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I'll never be able to Bair Marth.
I'm always facing forwards toward tilt

Spoiler

Where did this phrase come from?

Yume. 10ftilts

 

[Mike2]

What has more range, Ftilt 1 or dtilt?

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I would think d-tilt would have more range. But if f-tilt also outranges MK's d-tilt then I have no idea lol.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Depends how you want to go about describing it.

Dtilt's hitbubbles are spread out to cover a wider area horizontally.
Snake's Ftilt on the other hand has a huge hitbubble vertically.
Also, Ftilt is far more disjointed than Dtilt is.
From the same position in a neutral stand, dtilt hits further away than ftilt does.

What are the inputs for this? And it only works while you're still in the dsmash stun?

 

[Wilmenz]

It only works when you are in the dsmash stun, most ZSS players wait until the stun wears off to hit you

 

[Vorguen]

What do you all have to say about the Toon link matchup? I normally camp, but I find I have to rushdown Toon Link (similar to Olimar) and pressure him down especially on his landing after his campfest, Texas has good toon links, and Louisiana travels here too so I've had to play Hyro and Jerm a lot. Its a matchup I have trouble with... any suggestions? :o

 

[Attila_]

i've always found it better to camp him, especially from below platforms.

you only rush in after limiting his landing options; he's got a blind spot diagonally below him (boomerang doesn't count because it's cancelled by dash attack and utilt/ftilt).

evade projectiles with movements, not dodges. there's plenty of time to move out of the way and respond with a long lasting projectile of your own.

 

[Sush1]

Why are snake's grenade considered so good? They have a 3 second timeout and can hurt you... I don't get why people appraise it.

 

[Attila_]

grenades occupy large zones of space and completely limit your opponents options.

doing that effectively for long periods is difficult, though.

Two things: zoning + countering

Also, hi people.
