This thread showed an uneffective game plan which I editted out. It is better to get good at grenade gameplay. Relying only on pivot grabs and shield punishment does not solve the fact that your opponent can stall you out. Oh well.

This video shows good grenade gameplay. If you have problems with your opponent's ftilt, I think you can slide toward them while shield dropping a nade to be able to shieldgrab them.

He mains Meta Knight and seconds Snake (vs gaw and other even matchups) and King Dedede (vs snake). I see him like every two weeks in tournament so I know.

RECOVERY (Incomplete)
-------------

I need input. I know that...from close to the stage you should either hang on the edge or fall on the stage, or from far away you should cypher your way back and pop a nade out the moment your opponent can hit you (but not at 180% when your own nade will kill you) or pivot grenade/C4 before he can hit you to avoid him (this is better since no one gets hurt).

KOing (Incomplete)

-------------

Opportunities to KO? I don't know about these and end up desperately attempting uptilts or KO'ing with jabs at very high percentages. Uptilt's disjointed hitbox can hit through Mach Tornado in case they do it above 85% by the way. It also outranges Meta Knight's forward air.



for recovery, the best option for a snake is to use cypher all the way up above the stage to avoid getting gimped. this is normal for all chars, but crucial against MK because of his amazing gimping skills. shield drop grenade pisses me off in this matchup, btw. should do it more often.

as for KOing, utilt is your best option. kills at RIDICULOUSLY low %'s, disgusting range and speed. jab is also surprisingly good, if you keep it fresh. ftilt should be damage racker, not killing move for this matchup.

also, i noticed somewhere in your post that dsmash kills @ 120. it kills @ around 130, since snake is such a heavy char.

also, as a tip, for snake, apply stage pressure to your advantage. as a MK main, my most frustrating aspect of Mk vs snake is stage pressure, especially in battlefield. haev a variety of mines, C4's nades and even the occasional nikita drop to keep MK at bay. too bad for us IDC is banned...
