Snake for top tier! :chuckle:

I wonder why they waited this late, along with no mention of him otherwise outside of trailers and being an unlockable. From the looks of things, Snake looks like he's gonna be a pretty unique character, mainly the non-standard standard moves and ya, I'm sure that sounded weird. I almost feel like playing as him first, if he would a starter. I never expected that recovery however. What were the ideas that people came up with for Snake's recovery before we found out what it truly was?

As for the "no secret characters before release" theory, well, I don't think that's been proven false yet. Snake may be unlockable, but he's not secret, since we already knew about him. He could have been the one exception. So till a unlockable character (besides Snake) is confirmed before release, I think the theory still stands.
THANK YOU...or the "All 3rd party are secret theory" though...

I remembered joking about with one of my real life friends on how Snake's grab would be a way to take out a stock without knocking them out of the arena. As for Snake grabbing Kirby...

Kirby: You can't break my non-existence neck.

Snake: Then I'll just break your whole body!

We did, and he's playable, not an AT... Maybe you didn't notice that he's in the character section now too?

*sigh* So many people who can't read properly.
You people must be taking some freaky ****, man...or your blind

I think that this shows that hidden characters can be revealed too. Snake is confirmed a hidden character and we have no idea if we have to unlock the other new-comers as of now:ohwell:.

Well, we finnally got Snake out of the way. . . anything from now on will be new or a vet (no more "is it going to be a "new comer" that we knew of?" ) if it's a character release.

I fore-see alot of character move updates to come.:p
I think it's going to be a well before we see a new-comer. . . maybe 3-4 weeks with a vet in the next 1-2 weeks.

Snake wouldn't be revealed this early if he was an unlockable. If he is an unlockable, then it would probably involve beating adventure mode in someway.

Sakurai confirmed that he would be unlockable when he said that "all 3rd party charaters will be unlockable". And this "early"??? The game comes out in 2 months and we seem to, at the most, get 1-2 character a week IF we get a character for said week...and said character can be a vet or new comer.

Really, he is unlockable. . . .and this is pretty late in the game to be revealing him.

So in other words, you're a troll. The first post as a joke, I understand, but the rest was just trolling.

Something doesn’t make senses
In the pictures it shows Snakes up B, side B, and neutral B. However it doesn’t say what his down B will be instead they have two pictures showing snake at the beginning of the update placing a claymore mine and shooting a rocket propelled grenade ..thing.
What does this mean?

Those are Snake's Smash attacks.

That Box is likely his Bv.

Since snake basically has unlimited items like that mine thing, im wondering if some moron somewhere will try to ban him from tournaments.

I can see it now, "Snake has proxy mines! zomgee!!!11!!!"

im confident that he will be a balanced character that isnt overpowered

Here's a question.


A lot of people seem to have drawn the concluded that the Mine is either Snake's Down Smash or his unmentioned down special. Which is cool I guess.

During the second trailer shown at Nintendo World, Snake dodges behind pit smacks him down and then pulls out an RPG and blasts Pit with it at point blank range. Back then people thought that it was either his down smash or his down speical. So....anyone want to take a guess as to what's what?

My guess would be the Down B since most characters in ssbm down smash would hit in front and behind them.

My thought is that Snake's down smash is being replaced with the Land Mine because he already has a missile launcher.

Also seeing how Mario was flying backwards when snake was standing up from using his box, it seems that his box isn't his shield, but his down special. Kinda like the Fox's/Falco's Shine, it has some sort of shielding ability, but instead, can only do damage or knock back if he stands up. I could be entirely wrong though.

looking at the videos & screenshots, all of his smash and B moves are confirmed

D-smash = Mine
U-smash = Artillery
F-smash = The knee--->vertical smackdown thingie he does in a vid

Up-b = Cypher (hope there is another Up-B for ground-uses)
Side b= Nikita Missile Launcher
N-B= Grenade

The RPG (or Nikita) in the second vid is his Down-B move, OR it could be that the Side-B Nikita is aimable when pulling it out, it could also be that the Mine is his down-b and that his down-smash has to be seen yet....
Well too many guesses, we'll see soon what really what is...
Anyone got an idea when SSBB is released in Europe, or heard a rumor or something?

Who are the patriots?
la-li-lul-le-lo...

How do you know our alphabet only has 26 letters? How do you know there weren't once more? How does one know whether "Gulf War Syndrome" was legitimate, or whether the shots the soliders were given contained certain genomic altercations? What have the Patriots told you?

So I'm assuming Snake's a starter. I think that they'll tell us when they start showing hidden characters.
