Official Snake Q&A Area

[Attila_]

Hitting cstick helps too, it just has to be returned to the neutral position before a second input will be recorded.

I use prediction for di all the time; it helps a lot more than it hinders. And my di has something of a following from anyone I play lol

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

True, I just meant not for circle DI. Prediction for anything is rarely bad I suppose

 

[xxTerminatorxx]

Wow, you guys are really getting into some hardcore stuff about Snake in Smash Bros.

 

[False]

Man I wish I can go back in '08 and play everybody that was "good".

Me: *pivot grabs*
PC Chris: WHAT THE FUUU

 

[etecoon]

I love snake and marths pivot grabs, **** is like a tractor beam

I'd love to see somone own Ally with that.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Pivot grab or boost pivot grabs? That is the question!

I boost pivot grab and never pivot grab. I miss so many grabs because of the stupid slide puts me too far away where a regular one would have worked better. I think its only good for punishing rolls and airdodges.

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

I like it for grabbing characters who have bad landing option. Works wonders for me.

 

[False]

Someone explain to me how to boost grab and boost pivot grab.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Someone explain to me how to boost grab and boost pivot grab.

Dash forward -> c-stick down -> grab
Boost Grab

Dash forward -> c-stick down -> grab -> control stick shove opposite way
Boost Pivot Grab

Those are the basic controls. The boost pivot grab I am a little hazy on when exactly you have to shove the control stick the opposite direction. I do it so often I don't think about what I'm doing anymore. So, it might be a tad sooner. Experiment a bit to find the right timing.

 

[False]

Do you hold down on the cstick when you input the grab?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Do you hold down on the cstick when you input the grab?

You can if you want, it really is not needed though. The important thing is the timing of when you press c-stick down, grab and hit the control stick the other way. Which happens to be really close together and in that order for the boost pivot grab.

Xeyload what is your sig I dont even...

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

It's an 18 wheeler jumping over a broken part of a bridge.
What else could it look like? :3

From Halo Reach: Fails of the Weak.

 

[xxTerminatorxx]

Wait, so now there is a way to grab opponents behind you? I'm trying to say this right, but I do remember doing somthing where while I was running, and I [somhow] quickly turned around and grabbed the opponent who was behind me in a split second. It involved trying to press the Z button and the C stick and the A button.

I pretty much forgot how to do it.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

^I cannot tell if this is trolling or not O.o

 

[etecoon]

is there a way to grab opponents behind you and in front of you at the same time? this could be really useful for tech chasing

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Ok, now I know trolling is happening.
+1

 

[xxTerminatorxx]

Iv'e done it before. Plus, how am I trolling? I was submiting a piece of advice or somthing that I thought you guys could figure out how to do.

 

[SeekHeart]

can anyone shed some light on some practical grenade cooking methods for midrange to short range explosions?

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

Grenade Cooking Tactics

Guide, it's pretty helpful, but I think its best to get used to the timing and feel the right use

 

[Ralph Cecil]

What exactly can keep a stage texture from being legitimate for use in a tourney? Because I added some textures to my Wii and some of my friends have complained about them, & have said that they aren't good for use in a tourney. ;-;

 

[someonerandom]

I never really thought about it until now, but is glide tossing grenades any useful?

Those guys think you're using model hacks, which there is a HUGE difference between model hack and texture hack.
Or maybe they are against hacking all together.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I'm fairly sure that it's that last part, but thanks ^_^ I shall inform him of his mistake. >_<

Not really. But it can be nice to do

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

Snake's is so short it's barely worth it, except for maybe Backwards and Backwards Reverse.

Glide Toss Lengths

 

[Attila_]

good if you want to retreat from a dash while holding an item. diddys do it all the time; we can too.

 

[SeekHeart]

when snake is sent flying, is there a way to tell which way he is facing? cause I unintentionally do fair instead of bair for momentum cancelling at times...

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

You shouldn't be using Bair anyway.

Use Airdodge when sent horizontally, and fastfall Uair when sent vertically.

I don't know of a way to tell though. Just watch him, most attacks don't mess him up too badly

 

[etecoon]

that. air dodge/uair let you live the longest, use uair if you aren't sure/if it's diagonal

you can also tell because any time you are hit you are automatically turned around to face the opponent, you should always be facing them after being hit except for reverse hits like sometimes when you're right on top of them and it randomly sends you in the wrong direction

 

[SeekHeart]

thanks I'll do just that. Also any tips on the pika match up? I seem to be outcamped by thunder bolts... and fighting close range has been pretty hard...

 

[Yumewomiteru]

Pikachu is like any other matchup. Outrange him in CQC, camp him with nades, and live forever.

 

[etecoon]

pikachu is kind of unique in that thunder gives him a deadly punishment to one of your most reflexive actions(momentum canceling), you really have to be aware of this because if you try to momentum cancel something that won't kill you anyway you might die via thunder

and his chain grab is one of the gayest in the game, I hope all pikachu players get eaten by a bear!

 

[xxTerminatorxx]

One time I was in Sudden Death and a Kirby tried to use Down B above me. I airdodged it and counter-attacked it with a grab and I threw Kirby and killed him.

Another time I was in Sudden Death and I was fighting a Ganon. So I threw a grenade, and before he could throw it back, I shield dropped another grenade, which caused his grenade to drop, and it blew him up.

Good stuff.

Let's talk about our pwns on Wifi with Snake shall we?

 

[False]

Powershield cancelled mks nado, jab grab, bthrow for kill.


Pft I wish. Wifi blows

 

[etecoon]

one of my favorite wifi combos

I thought you were gonna spike again, lmao

 

[SeekHeart]

what are some good ways to deal with MK on edge?

 

[OnlyUseMeNades]

Who's on the ledge? You or MK?
