hmph.

I went Snake in the first four games of winner's finals. It went 2-2. I used falco in the final game and 3 stocked him.

Then in gfs, I used falco game 1, just got away with it. then he beat my falco in game 2-3. I won game 4 with snake, then lost game 5 with snake. then for the second set, i lost the first two games with falco. dominated the next two games with snake. and game 5... i was just terrible.

failed to punish a poorly spaced fair high on my shield with an utilt, pressing jab instead, which wouldve resulted in my victory. and then later, after coming back from a stock deficit, i grabbed him at 160% near the ledge, and instead of pressing ftilt, i pressed fsmash, and died.

it was easily the biggest throw away i've ever done.

Oh. Well. You are still one of the few to make your entry fee back or better.

Interesting to see you swapping back and forth between Snake/Falco so much. Give it more time and stuff.

i'd like to be good at falco, but i can't seem to shake general snake fundementals.

looks like i might be stuck with this character.

More than anything, all the things I've trained myself to do automatically need to change when I play falco.

Things like usmash oos and sideB oos never became automatic. I mean, I used them, but I'd always have to think about it first. Which makes them too slow to be effective.

And jab1 --> jab2 never became automatic. Instead I kept ftilting everything.

All these things just made my falco terribly inefficient.

Time is again your ally in this.

If you keep at it everything will be fine. I have been using Snake/Falco since 08 and had very little troubles keeping the two character separated. While this is not a great example for the amount of time I think it should take though.

Melee and Brawl. It was difficult trying to keep different control schemes down at first, but eventually just learned to differentiate them. And it took I would say only about half a year tops to get like this.

as much as i feel that falco is a better character, I can't help but feel that I am a better snake.

perhaps that's just the way it's meant to be.

i think i'm back to using snake again.

I'VE been using falco for years. I've been training hard with him since apex. So like, 5 months of proper falco.

And my falco always looked like a snake 0_o

Well, I am still going to keep pushing the Falco player idea. Keep thinking of what you want to do properly and eventually it'll sink in. Do you ever play wifi at all? Sort of curious to see if it works well with Australia at all lol

I am not even going to bother replying to my fence this time

All it ever does is sit there and say nothing back even after months of having the chance. Then it will randomly speak-up and go back to being mute for years on end. Pfft

I officially retract whatever nonsense I've said about MVD in the past. That man is a god.

at a regional level sure, at a national/international level I don't think solo snake should be getting top 3 at this point. if we see a resurgence of snake prominence in this last year of brawl I think it's a sign that people are practicing and studying the game less

MK/ICs/olimar/diddy are the only characters I'd attach that "broken" status to, those characters are the ones I expect to see ****** high level tournaments

- going to a tournament next week will probably get bodied by a random ZSS and blame it on snake being a bad character but I do still play!

- brawl is fundamentally the same game it was 3 years ago, making any hiatus' irrelevant. I called ICs/diddy/olimar overtaking snake years before everyone else saw the obvious, suck it

Hey guys, Quick request, There's a gif of Snake grabbing Ike's jab and putting him on the floor around, and I cant find it via google. Seeing as this is the snake boards, I wondered if anyone had it? Thanks in advance
