how can you begin to even guess that? Guessing his moves and final smash are all fine and dandy but where he'll be on the tier list? That's a bit much don't you think? Especially since it looks like Sakurai is doing his best to eliminate the tier lists (whether or not that happens or not is still a complete mystery though).

that's what i think. all the characters so far are starters. probably when metaknight is shown, that's when we're getting secret characters

some one mentioned in another thread that on the melee site, they didnt start doing posts on secret characters till the game was already out.

Tomorrow is Hideo Kojima's birthday. Do you think we could see a MG related update? Shadow Moses? Big Shell?

The way I see it is, not only is Snake going to be a secret charactr, he's a GUEST character, meaning he's not, technically, a Nintendo character, meaning even among the secret characters, he'll be the most secret.

Notice that in ALL of the screenshots of the site, as well as all of the updates, there is not a single glimpse, or mention, of Snake anywhere there. Even before Meta Knight's profile was up, he was mentioned, and seen a few times.

it's good to finally see some more stuff on Snake.

I think the cypher is his up B. it could be an MGS item, but did Sakurai say that they would have third party items? I don't think so; of course, he didn't say they wouldn't either, so anything is possible.

honestly though, I think it's his up B... I mean, I just can't think of another possible/plausible up B for him. I NEVER would have thought of him using the cypher. it's amazing that they thought of it...

I think, given how close the shot of him appears to be with the Cypher, that it may actually be his pre-battle entrance. Flying in on a Cypher. I still hope for the Stinger as his Up B, to propel him up with recoil, but I wouldn't mind a Cypher Up B. Especially if it's a Gun Cypher.

Snake just got awesome. Non-melee Smashes? Kick-***. And I love the Nikita. I think Snake has become truly unique, with his non-melee smash moves. Soooo many explosives though.

And I was wrong about the Cypher, it is his Up B. Well awesome.

It potentially ruins the theory, yes. However, Snake having been revealed as a character months back means the theory isn't necessarily totally dead. They might choose to hide the remaining secret characters. My thoughts are that Kojima wanted him to wait until that MGS4 trailer got released yesterday or whatever before revealing Snake.

He'll punt the little ******* up into his hands like a hackey-sack. Cause Snake takes **** from nobody. Still, I was disappointed at the lack of crawling revealed in this update.

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.
