Snake's Playstyle: Linky's?

[Danteh]

Hey, I'm planning to main Snake once it finally goes out in Europe, and I was wondering what kind of playstyle I can expect.
One of my mains in Melee was Link, I just loved all those boomerang-bomb-bomb-little bit of sword here mix. Is Snake similar? (meaning, for example: you throw a grenade here and there, plant a mine, and grab them just in time to make them eat that mine, finally smashing them close-combat to death.)
Or perhaphs is more like Samus? Well, give your opinion of which is more similar

PD: I heard it's very fun to play, is it?

Thx!

I think Snake is like Link. It takes time to do sequences with both of their items. But, it is more satisfying to do it with Snake in my opinion.

It's especially exciting to get the person in the way of all of your explosions. I love seeing my friend's jaw drop when they get hit by everything.

Also, yes, it is a pretty fun game. Hard to get used too though.

You have the general idea but it's easier said than done against experienced players vs Snake nowadays.

yeah, he's pretty Linky, except his close combat doesn't blow. Grenades+ tilts = your bffls (hahaha yeah i just said bffls)

I used to main Link in Melee, but now I am all-Snake, all-the-time. I definitely think they are similar, but their "cage" is different. The "cage" is how I think of the range of projectiles. For Link, it is in front of him as all his projectiles (bow, arrow) are only effective on opponents in front of Link. Bombs are a little more tricky since they can be thrown over obstacles and such.

For Snake, his cage is all around him. Planting mines and C4 are stationary, but can damage opponents while you do other things. Grenades are pretty much like bombs and the Nikita can be aimed wherever you like. His game is based around mindgames, edge guarding, and brute force.

Yeah, he does kind of remind me of Link, in that he requires serious timing in his attacks, and he has great range.

Yeah I played Link in Melee and I'm starting to use Snake.
I played Brawl Link.. and he's terrible. Snake is just better lol

 

[Crizthakidd]

Well. He's mindgame based, i s'pose, like Link. His C4, mines , grenades and mortar help you get where you want your opponent. But, his aerial game sucks.
