So while I'm in the process of picking up snake (as he's a bad ***) I thought of something I think could be potentially really useful. I was thinking about how snakes fire a nikita during a duelist game. I realized that it could potentially be a viable recovery option in an actual match.
For those of you who are not familiar with what I am referring to please watch this duelist match.

In the course of the match Suinoko explains something called the Dol Nikita.
To perform a Dol a nikita you
1. while falling in the air (such as offstage) you soft lob a grenade
2. You cipher up toward the grenade for a little bit
3. You nikita out of the cipher and aim it (wherever you want)
4. The grenade blows you up, causing two different effects to happen.
The first is that the nikita is now in a straight trajectory
The Second is that you are now recoverying upwards LOL
PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE TECHNIQUE BEFORE FURTHER READING
How is this useful?
In duelist this is an AT used to hit other players in an attempt to mess up their timing and kill them or limit their recovery options. However in standard play it has yet to be fully implemented. However I believe this could give snake another option of recovery particularly when he is forced to recover low.
Usually when you recover low you are forced to C4, which is often footstool'd, spiked, or otherwise gimped, or your just flat out gimped before you can even C4 (in my experience)
However with the Dol nikita we gain another option. By being able to fire the nikita we can limit our opponents options to gimp us and recover. The benefits being.
1.The nikita prevents our opponent from being in its trajectory
2.To hit snake while he's performing this your opponent (most likely metaknight) puts himself at risk by either detonating the grenade or getting hit by the nikita
3. The grenade does less damage than a C4 recovery and less knockback making it less likely to kill you/ you missing a tech and less damage is also a good thing.
Most of my opinions on this are theory craft, however I do hope snakes can gain a viable recovery option with this. Please post your thoughts and concerns.
