Snake Video Thread

[KACHOW!!!]

I don't want this to just be a bunch of people's guides, but to actually fill up with decent video content of snake plays and top players (so please don't upload footage of you and your buddy fighting each other). So far the only footage of legit good/serious players I can find are these two guides, one by Shofu, and the other by Jtails. Comment another link and we'll see if it's legit, then I'll add it to the thread. If some super high level Smashboards mod wants to take this over from me go for it, because I'm a smashboards pleb/scrub. This could all be worthless in a week when the first patch comes out.

Top Players:

MVD:
VS Awestin @ USW 4

Note: this is a great set just to see what setups and punishes snake has available, and great recoveries.

VS Holy (ROB) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YUXRiG82ug

VS MGC (Young Link, Palutena, Fox) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7ICdr4KvoE

VS Xzax (Inkling, Wolf) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMRSR55V3kM

Side note: I'm sorry if this is too much Ally, and the state of this thread should always be fluid because people will adapt and find new ways of playing snake which should be explored, so nothing I've posted here is guaranteed to stay forever: something might get patched out or fall out of usefulness in matchups or the meta, so be prepared to change with the times.

I was just about to put up the Jtails tutorial but I didn't realize there was a Shofu one, good stuff!

High level play by MVD vs. ESAM

Look for any videos featureing Ally's Snake in SSB Montreal.

Now THAT is how you should play Snake.

 

[Perversion]

Then would you not recommend MVD's Snake?

Then would you not recommend MVD's Snake?

Not what I'm saying, Just saying that Ally's Snake is mad HYYYYPPPPPEEEE.

 

[Perversion]

Okay, just making sure as I thought the MVD v ESAM match was rather good. Ally would lend himself to be really good with Snake as, I believe, he main'd Snake in Brawl.

Dear lord the matchup looks awful for Ganon. Snake just absolutely pummels him

 

[Perversion]

I definitely need to utilize Grenade control better like MVD and Ally. The fear and control you have on the stage is just insane if you can manipulate them well enough. That wall-tech to fair was insane by Ally, and as much as I already use Dair and Nair but the way they're used in these matches is just beautiful.
