Snake: Lack of Air game?

[Spy_Hunter]

I get punished everythime I try to go airborne. Snakes ariela attacks just aren't ,how shall it? Good. If you miss ( which is very easy to do) you will be owned. No questions asked. Anybody else find this a problem?

So, generally, don't. His aerials are powerful but not great contenders for aerial combat. They're more like finishing moves.

His aerial game is definitely not as useful as say, Samus', but it has it's uses. It just isn't what you should rely on.

Snake's bair has pretty good priority, with good reach too. His nair isn't that bad either. I find it useful from time to time. Just be careful of that landing lag.

Bair is amazing on snake, i seem to use that most often, fair if you're feelin risky for a meteor off the edge...and im startin to find a use for dair combined with a short hop, all 4 kicks come out REAL nice, but i found Dair is not really usable in a non short hop situation, unless u time the last kick which is @_@

Snake is more of ground character.

You can't have Snakes in the air, they become defenseless. That is unless they're on a PLANE!

But yea, his Air moves are meant to be KO moves not aerial acrobatics. The only move I can safely use in the air is Bair.

true that jeff true that

The Uair isn't half-bad ethier. I actually can get KO's off this one.
By the way I've actually designed a stage called Snakes on a plane.lol
Classic.

you obviously don't know about how amazing Snake's nair and bair are.

 

[waks]

His aerial attacks (Bair specifically) are used for finishing moves, XD Uair is quite good too (for finishing)

And nice post Jeff

Bair is amazing.

Uair is amazing.

Nair is somewhat good.

Dair is good.

Fair is tricky but can be amazing. Basically, do Bair rushes and stuff. And read my guide (Y).

nair seems to be the strongest..if you can land the last kick. it seems liek it can kill at around 120% ish?
does 28% if all hit i think
