Possible WIP

[Rdavis]

Hello everyone.

Since I joined this site not even a month ago, I've been wanting to give back since people have been so helpful to me.

What I'd like to do, is come up with counters to every move and specials that everyone does. I know it would take a long time, but I was thinking I could help everyone by having volunteers that are good with multiple characters use certain moves and I could figure out which move of Snake's could counter it or nullify it.

Would this be a good idea, or would it be impossible to come up with a list of everyone's perfect counter using Snake? I'd love to give back to this community like I said, and if you guys would list what characters you're pretty/fairly good with, that'd be good, and we can just talk over MSN/AIM and figure out a way to come up with counters to everyone's move, whether it's spot dodging, or using a punch to block a projectile, anything.

I know it might seem like a lot of work but I'd really like to come up with something as it would be helpful for me and possibly other Snake players.

Anyone up for it, or is it a stupid idea?

Thanks for opinions and ideas, or even "It wouldn't work, don't bother"

Bump, Guess that's what you'd do here, I'm looking to see if this is viable, or if I should stop now, I've already figured out quite a few for MK, seeing as my friend loves to use him, so I was gonna keep looking for more, a lot of his moves can be countered (Stopped) by a FTilt, or by pulling the pin on a grenade when he's using a move (Mach Tornado, SideB, etc.), and the grenade will explode and kill the move hurting you both but it stops him and usually I'm expecting it so I can hit him before he hits me.

Dunno if that's even useful, so eh.

I wouldn't want to leave a helpful effort unanswered...

I feel that you are probably making this harder than it seems. You say you want to compile a guide for Snake as to how to counter almost every move each character on the roster does. That's WAY too specific IMO, and ...cluttered? disorganized?... I don't know if that's the right word. What I mean that it would be impractical to have specific counters to each move instead of creating one unified strategy to fight against that certain character. That way, every idea/counter is summized in a section for every match up.....which in turn creates a character-match-up thread...which happens to already exist right here:

Having a strategy rather than specific moves makes it much easier to understand and piece together, essentially it unifies your idea, rather than trying to recall a counter for each move/special separately.

It's good to see someone making an effort to give out help. If you're still gung-ho about your idea, perhaps you could just contribute character match up strategies of your own in that thread. It's far from complete, and hopefully one day it will be.

Alright, I just want to feel helpful, since the people here have already helped me with quite a few things, I'll close this thread I guess and try to come up with Match-Up Strats like in the thread you showed me. Thank you very much.
