Is snake more manly then Captain falcon :O?

TwentyTwo · May 20, 2009

I went to sleep and wake up and this is whats here? lol. Name's Brian Le, and I got the reference but I was too late, I could do the mascot, but I don't have illustrator and photoshop at home and seniors finish up school in like 2 days. Idk what the perfect Snake would be like, but whenever people make their dream character they always have Snake's ftilt and utilt XD.

Btw, whoever is a Ninjalink fan stop by my interview topic in GBD ^^.

I fail at life. I still don't get the Sheep Outfit reference. But now I see how I failed at Candy and Ally.

Check out Razer's avatar. And he also carries a sheep plushie to tournaments, because he's cool like that :D

Seriously. I want to make a Snake texture of all that. I'll start it when I get home today, and I'll spend weeks and weeks on it until it's perfect.

Although I won't be able to do the large Afro. don't think I can add things to a char. model, only change them. (His outfit will be a sheep costume with no head, where his face will be black and white like a Panda, I'll see if I can change his grenades to some form of candy (any suggestions?) and IDK how I'll incorperate a hockey stick....

Hm... if we were to make that a texture then we'd have to make some adjustments. The face can be a panda for sure. He can be wearing a sheep outfit on his torso. His nades could look like mints or his mortar could look like a candy cane that shoots gumdrops. His headband could be the Canadian flag. Maybe the nikita could look like thunder while the launcher could look like a storm cloud or something.

Hrm, it still needs some work. We should complete the concept for the texture together as a community to make it pure awesome.

this sounds like one epic(nightmarish looking) texture hack

where do you find the Big Boss suit and the Naked Snake one? I've looked for good Snake textures but all I could find was Old Snake (that I thought was any good)

Also, the Wesker and Skullface sounds interesting

That would be terrible.
By far the worst idea I have ever heard.

hater!

luke_atyeo said:
also snake was going to be in melee because hideo asked for him to be, but the game was too far in production so they decided that they would put snake in the next smash game they made.

Like really, he's the only reason I can play brawl instead of melee. They should've made it happen. Or at least had Mewtwo in brawl lol...

also, yeah the skull face texture is official. reminds me of the punisher movies.

luke_atyeo · May 20, 2009

wow can someone post a picture of sean connery snake, thats madness.
big boss's older design from the games made him look like sean connery.

Personal Note:
Since my return at the Snake Boards, I have been asking myself "What is the best possible thing I could do for the Snake Boards?" After a few weeks of debate, researching, lurking, speaking, going to the bathroom, and eating some pineapples. I have decided the best thing I could do for the boards is to organize something in which all of my knowledge; no..... All of the boards' knowledge is condensed into one thread of pure win. Every detail that we have ever looked into, presented in an orderly fashion.

This concept, I thought, was just "a guide". Those standard things that most boards have, they take countless weeks of effort to create - and even more to maintain. Organizing them can take hours to create a way to display all the information neatly! I thought to myself "Is this really worth it?" I came to the conclusion that yes...yes it is. Often have I wished for a thread of this calibur, a thread so amazing that the mere sight of it will make people collapse in their chairs.

So I present to you, the result of many hours of slaving away for the benefit of this community....

POST ONE AND A HALF

The Snake Boards' Comprehensive Guide to Everything

In this guide you will find all of the knowledge that the Snake Boards has to offer you as of October 25th, 2010.
I am merely presenting data which already exists on the board - and do not claim any of the data as my personal opinion.
If something is of my own personal opinion, it will be noted with the information being presented.

Advanced Techniques

In this chapter you will learn about all of Snake's known advanced tactics, the names, how to perform - with video if able, the uses, and any other information that is needed to be known. It is seperated into two groups. Global are advanced techniques that every character in the game may perform. Snake specific are techniques that only Snake may perform - or other characters in very specific scenarios.

Each advanced technique is organized in the following manner:

How to Perform

These matchups may be outdated, but I am merely presenting and displaying the data and currently have no plans for writing my own matchup summaries for every matchup.
If such summaries are asked for by a majority of the forum, I may change my mind.
They are organized by the BBR's most recent Tier List.

Stage Discussions

The stage discussions will be taken from our most recent stage discussion thread and so will not cover every stage.
I may or may not write a summary for every stage like I did for Rainbow Cruise, this will depend on community want and my ability to do so.
They are organized by the BBR's most recent Rule Set. Banned stages are not presented.

Each stage is organized in the following manner:

Picture of Stage
Summary of Gameplay; [collapsed] if personal summary exists
Personal summary of stage, if one exists; [collapsed]

Battlefield

Yoshi's Island (Brawl)

Summary:
Overall this stage is a great neutral for Snake.

Tilting of stage is perfect for grenades.
Tilting of stage at certain parts = messing w/ Peach's Float, Falco's lasers/Phantasm, plankers.
This maybe a small stage but camping is still possible here.
Vertical Death Boundaries are very close, which means easy Bair, Fthrow, and Ftilt kills.
Nades can be bouced off of Shy Guys.
Don't land w/ aerials on the platforms (obvious)
Nades slide off of the both sides of the stage. (Cook nades let them slide off and use them for Edge Guarding)
Thunderstorming does not work here (SH D-air laglessly), such as Ganon or Pikachu.
With the use of D-smash, C4, and Nades the long platform in the middle is a sort of "barrier".
U-air, B-air, N-air and U-tilt are great for Platform Pressuring.
Long platform allows for easier approach (for Snake), if ever need. Such as against Mario.
Try not to stay on the long platform for very long, this lead to juggeling etc.
Stay grounded.
Hard toss most Nades that are thrown out , otherwise they'll end up getting stuck on the platform.
On this stage like most other small stage, such as SV or BF, cooking your nades will help you camp, and avoid CQC. (not that Snake's bad @ CQC or anything)
At high percents do not tech the walls. (It'll help Snake recover.)

C4/Mine placement:

Place Mines or C4 towards the tips of the platforms.
Place Mines/C4s on the portion of the stage that slightly tilts inward. This will help w/ Edguarding and aid in stopping appraoches.
Also, for edge guarding place Mine/C4s on the very tips of the stage , which points outward.

Smashville

Lylat Cruise

Pokémon Stadium 1

Summary:

Snake doesn't do to well with the multiple transformations.
The Dead Tree poration is pratty bad, because of the wall the tree creates (infinite CG, semi-locks, etc.).
Some of the transformations have semi-locks.
The Water stage's Windmill is a lot of trouble for Snake; he can easily get juggled there, and easily die there. Stay away from the windmill at death percents.
Rock stage is pretty bad for Snake; Snake can't really "camp" here....and the other player will not appraoche you if you stand in the middle or the far right.
The foreat portions is probably the best for snake it has 3 platforms the help snake get kills.
Snake has trouble w/ character that can easily juggles him, and characters that have good mobilty

C4/Mine placement:

Lip of stage (C4 can hit people).
Any platform.

Final Destination

Summary:

Amazing for camping.
No platforms=Stronger ground game needed.
No platforms also mean a higher possibility of being juggled.
Snake D.I. Limit is prety high;around 180% to 200% with good D.I./spacing.
Big "Lip" to **** our recovery or help it if you tech the stage after C4-ing your self.
DACUS/DA/U-Smash are perfect for this stage!
Stay away from the edges unless your edge-guarding.
Control the dead center of the stage.
And that's it, this stage is pretty straight forward, other things having to do with stage will come with experience.

C4/Mine placement:
Any where

Castle Siege

Summary for 1st portion:
1st part of the stage is small, you can get really early kills here.

1st phase: The lips can ruin a lot of recoveries, use that to your advantage against those chars. C4 is fairly difficult to see, as nades can be. The slant lets nades drop down, so you can be tricky with that. fairly low ceiling allows for early utilt KOs if you can rack up damage fast enough or if you get back to the phase with opponent at high %. The slant allows you to dodge some projectiles easier.

1st part : It's good for Snake although it's too small but it's
good for grenades. You can let the grenade slide to the slant
part. You can put C4 (Down launch) on top of a platform.
It's a great advantage against big targets and characters
like Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, Bowser. Snake's up tilt
is also good for this. When an enemy is on top of the
top of the platform, use the up tilt. But Snake can be knocked off
the stage easily because it's small. (Despite him being heavy
but at some percent maybe 50% or above.) Avoid using
Snake's recovery in this part.

Summary for 2nd portion:
2nd part of the stage, if you can grab them near the edges, dthrow tech chasing is really easy. They'll almost always roll away from the walk-off. Camping here is somewhat more difficult though, as the statues stop your grenades.

2nd phase: Great part to be sneaky with C4. Plant it while your opponent is distracted OR in between the transition and let it fall and figure out where it is to bait your opponent into it. The pillar things are good and bad depending on the matchup. It helps against Diddy to stop bananas, but stops your camping game too. If you're playing DDD or low % vs Falco, don't be stupid and stay off the ground floor or free stock for opponent. The ceiling from the ground is REALLY high so don't waste an attempted utilt KO that you aren't sure will KO unless on a platform. As said, tech chasing is easier on this phase if you're on the ground. As said, most opponents will roll away from the blast zone when grabbed near there for fear of easy ftilt KO. If not they may just get up attack, so be prepared and punish. Your opponent may try to KO you in a similar way here too, so be careful when close to the blast zone. Don't get out smarted. Definitely the most gimmicky phase.

Summary for 3rd portion:
3rd part of the stage is a lot like FD. Just play like you would on FD, and watch the stage's tilt when recovering.

3rd part: This is a good place for Snake too. Grenade stripping
here is the best thing to do. It will roll though the
ground (Best if cooked). Put C4s here is great especially
at the time when the stage is slanting. The
best place to put it is that the tip of the stage.
Use grenade stripping to make it explode but it's
useless against people with controlled
projectiles or stuff.

Overall: It's a good stage for Snake but don't think
that you will win for sure and you have the upper
hand or something. Your battling someone who's
better than you, you're dead or not.

Rainbow Cruise

Snake Board's Discussion:

Summary:

The Ship:
- Considered the worst portion of RC.
- Difficult to Tech Chase
- Difficult to use Mines/C4, like on normal stages.
- The wall is the last place you want to get caught.
- Most of Snake's normal game play is "weakened" here.
- Small area, which allows Snake to have good stage control.
- DACUS straight into the wall cause you Mortar to blow up on the wall.
The Accent:
- This portion is also another difficult for Snake there is a lot to adapt to.
- C4s and Mines work great here.
- Stay away from left when going up, it's pretty much a walk off.
- ***remember you cannot fall through all platforms.
- Also, learn to adapt to the accent as you fight your opponent, this will come with practice.
The pendulum:
- ***Remember you can fall through it.
- It's best to control the Falling Blocks.
Side Scrolling:
- Best portion of the stage for Snake.
- Use mines, U-tilt, and C4 here these moves will kill extremely early here due to the LOW ceiling.
- Adapt to the moving stage
- This is a lot better than the ship, so using all of Snake's moves here will be a lot better.

C4/Mine placement:

The Ship:
- The 2 small platforms.
- Towards the back of the ship.
The Accent:
- Pretty much anywhere.
The Side Scrolling:
- Platforms

SuSa's Discussion:

Please use and study this picture quite a bit.

Much of what I say also applies to the cast as a whole, so if someone from another forum stumbles upon this - feel free to share it. I care more about advancing the metagame than advancing my character.

Let's begin.

Know the Stage

Okay, so that's our stage. You start off on A and go around alphabetically until you reach D, which you then go back down to A. I'm sure most everyone here knows this, but learn this stage. You will need to know about when platforms start appearing, when they dissapear, etc. Knowing how long platforms stick around or when they come around is a vital step to knowing this stage.

If you know a platform will be showing up on your right after part C, transititiong into part D - you can jump into "thin air" to have the platform come into existance and save you. This can be a lifesaver.

So get to know the stage.

Part A - I'm on a Boat mother ****er

Part A of Rainbow Cruise has you on a boat. Due to me not wanting to teach everyone terminology, the left side is the "front". The right side is the "back". Then there is the 'mess hall' which is the part just in front of the back that goes down into the imaginary living quarters. Then we have the sail platforms? Got it? Good.

Things to know:

1) Avoid the mess hall in certain matchups. Corners are bad, and DDD can infinite you on this side. MK can also DTILT you to death, along with DK and other characters with similar wall-dtilt-locks.
The sides aren't very big, if you're facing a horizontal killer stay near the center of the boat.
Utilt won't kill right when this part starts. You see that to the top right? Yah, people can bounce off that and live. Don't go for a utilt right when you reach this transition from Part D.
Abuse the only 2 platforms. You can place a C4 on the bottom platform and camp all day with nades near the mess hall.
Bthrow against the mess hall is usually a better option than dthrow, because you can go for that fsmash. Most people don't tech, because they expect the dthrow.
There isn't much Snake can abuse on this, other than complete stage control - which we have on most stages. Just play keep away with your opponent.
If your opponent is on the back end, FH nairs can keep them over there and score some low-mid % KO's.
Near the transition to Part B the front end of the boat goes down. Try not to get hit underneath that, as you'll likely die. Also avoid getting stage spiked there.

Summary:
Play keepaway

Part B - Snake learns to Fly

Part B of Rainbow Cruise has you jumping up platforms with some magic carpets in the way, and one of the platform teeters. The goal here is to stay above your opponent and rain an arsenal of grenades and C4 on them to keep them below you. Odd enough that this is probably the one time in this game you want your opponent below you as Snake.

You can abuse the instant-grab with Grenades on this part of the stage, and I'm willing to bet we can platform cancel on every single one of these platforms to speed up your movement. So practice that platform cancelling until you perfect it.

Things to Know:

This scrolls up, so being down is bad. Keep your opponent below you.
You can tech off the yellow blocks if you get hit at them, try to DI towards those and tech if able.
You cannot drop through magic carpets (IIRC), so avoid them. They are bad, you will want to be able to drop down if able to. Don't limit your mobility!
Likewise, if your opponent is on a carpet - an attack from below may own them as they try to drop through dair you.
Before the full transition to Part C, you can tech off the yellow blocks with the pendulam. DI towards those and tech if you can.
Be the first onto the pendulam. This is important.

Summary:
Stay above your opponent, spam grenades and C4 like you never have before.

Part C - The Pendulam

This part is one of the funnest, but shortest parts, if you know what you are doing. Luckily gimping Snake is a lot harder on this part than people think, due to being able to tech off the yellow blocks. The Pendulam can really screw you and your opponents up when trying to recover, so unless you are 100% sure you are going to land on it, blow yourself up with C4. Trust me, I've SD'd a few times thinking I was going to land on it and I ended up dying. It's not something you want to happen in tourney. Also, don't miss your techs on those yellow blocks if you do C4. You'll like bounce straight to your death.

Things to Know:

You can drop grenades/c4/mines onto yellow blocks, and the yellow block with fall. This will place the above on the swinging pendulam. Sound awesome? It is. But it's hard to abuse.
You cannot drop through the pendulam (IIRC), so don't try it. Stay near the part where you can best DI towards the yellow blocks to tech. This is usually just whatever is the closest part, so standing on the left edge when it's swinging to the right isn't a bad thing.
The platforms on your left are still there for a while, if you get knocked over there during the early parts of this transition - you can land on those platforms really fast to help you recover.
The platforms on the right appear after a certain amount of time, learn this time so you can stay over there if knocked over there. This can be a lifesaver.
This is one of the best times to try and get a utilt KO. You can get a stage-like spike hitting them off the yellow blocks, and the cieling is low enough to get some earlier KO's than usual.
If you read the above, you may have gathered that grenades/c4 can also be a great KO power here due to the 'stage spike' off the yellow blocks.
Avoid using any aerials unless you know you'll be safe.
You can bounce grenades off the pendulam by throwing them down.

Summary:
Stay close to the blocks, abuse how the pendulam swings and how it can allow this blocks to 'stage spike'. Try to minimize your aerial usage, but make sure to abuse enemies recoveries when the pendulam is far and you are able to.

Part D - The road to victory

There is so many platforms and places to abuse on this transition, it's easily my favorite part. You can score low % utilt ko's, the horizontal edges depend on where you are - and sometimes you can score a low % ftilt KO, and the platforms allow for some fsmash shenanigans. Against DDD/Pikachu/Falco however, this transition can be one of the scariest due to chaingrabs - however we gain a stronger grab release on most of the cast when facing left.

Things to Know:

When facing left, if you grab an opponent - the stage movement effects how they break out. This allows us to walk a little and Utilt Meta Knight and a few other characters. We can even grab release chaingrab MK (99% sure) which can be useful for getting him close to the wall for an fthrow KO.
There is one spot with a wall, if you can get your opponent on this you can pound on them with ftilts and grenades keeping them there and grab release CG them against the wall for some free %'s. Yes, you can grab release CG MK here as well. Abuse that.
Your Utilt kills quite a bit sooner during this transition, if you're going for a utilt KO try to get it before you get to Part A all over again.
Fsmash has a hitbox diagnolly and a bit down from it, there's a lot of platforms and against taller characters you can get some fsmash shenanigans in there. It's easier to land than you think.
Just like Part B - abuse the platforms with platform cancels and instant-nade-grabs. In certain matchups, you'll want to stay on the platforms to avoid being CG'd to your death.
Keep your opponent on your left side, but try to stay near the center. The blast zone for the stage is uneven that way and you'll score sooner KO's off the left side than the right side.
During the transition to part A, you can grab release CG people against the wall into a utilt for KO's at about 30-40%. It's very very stupid and I've pulled it off in tournament.
Be careful of the right side when it's transition to Part A. The blast zone is a lot closer than it should be.

Summary:
Stay on the right side, it's the best side and we gain a lot of grab release shenanigans on the cast. Utilt kills sooner during this phase, so now's the time you'll want to land it. We have infinites against practically the entire cast against the walls - you can abuse this to hell for an early kill if you can land the grab.

A few more stage facts

There are a lot of uneven platforms and walls that you can rebound grenades off of.
The stage gimps you more than the enemy does - learn the stage!
Platform abuse is the best abuse.
Dthrow is amazing on this stage due to the amount of short length platforms and areas to dthrow. The blast zone also limits certain reactions often, and a good dthrow tech chase can lead in low % ko's or a ton and ton of damage racked.

Summary:
Rainbow Cruise is by far one of my most favorite counterpicks, ever. I actually got to the point that some players including Meta Knight players started to ban it against me.

There is a lot of camping shenanigans and grabbing shenanigans to last a lifetime. Snake can tank pretty well with good DI but kills at really low %'s. He controls the stage at nearly all times, and there are few areas where you can truly gimp him. All of Part A, B, and D are pretty safe if you know what you're doing. Part C is risky but still hard to be gimped during.

I love this stage.

Summary:

Learn to tech on reaction, if you don't your gonna get combo'ed HARD. Also, mix it up, tech tech jumps or don't tech on purpose.
Getting hit by falling blocks = Spiked
No matter what control the center of the stage.
Small vertical death zones = killing earlier, and dieing earlier.
Lower ceiling = Killing earlier.
Use nades to blow up explosive blocks this = pressure and getting kills.
Snake can destroys the blocks with Utilt and Ftilt (for it ftilt depends)
Side-b is pretty decent here.
Be careful with DA / DACUS here, this will get you blown up.
If the blocks have completely made the wall they make, set up explosives and crouches close to them. (if you opponent doesn't have items to throw)
Wind boxes are great if your in the middle, because they're the ultimate pressure; but if your on the left or right sides of the stage and these are going expect to gain A LOT of damage or maybe even lose a stock.
Apples these can heal a bit, but more importantly they are great items! If they hit a shield they have a lot of shield stun, and other wise they kill pretty D*** early. Once apples are out...you want to incorporate them w/ your grenades this equals, this is amazing stage control.
U-smash can do wonders here it'll help you keep pressure on you opponent and help you keep control of the stage.

C4/Mine placement:

On blocks
Platforms (this is great for pressure and keeping your opponent at the left/right portions of the stage).
The Left/right portions of the stage.
Pretty much anywhere, except for the dead center of the stage (between the two platforms).
