d3? camp the **** out of him, camp camp camp, aproaching is for pussys.
also he cant shield grab a contact mortar slide (although no doubt he could grab you out of your DA at the start if he times it right, but that'd only be if you overuse it so much that he predicts the **** out of you)

always get back to the stage from above, never low or even middle or anywhere near the ledge, or else you'll get gimped, its much better, when low, to back off and c4 yourself up high then come in from the top.
30% damage is better then losing a stock.

as for killing, your just gonna have to save that utilt, or if your feeling extra cheeky, you can try sticking him, and forcing him to recover with up-b, then just set it off at the peak of his up-b.

Agree for most part, cept my playing partner mains Dedede and he can shield grab me out of contact mortal relatively consistently. And contact mortar isnt that great when Dedede is at low-mid damage, as he can DI towards where you're going, bair the mortal and FF it to hit you in ending lag, then poss leading that into a grab.

And if you force him to up-b you might as well kill him with an uair rather then trying to sticky and risk getting sat on.

 

[Infern Angelis]

Down throw DDD, follow up. Camp, recover high. Dont try to fight him close up without a grenade on ur back.Thats basically it

 

[Yumewomiteru]

Infern you should play more Dededes, theres alot more to that matchup =P

 

[Infern Angelis]

My words are just short and sweet. I dont like writing paragraphs about MU lol

 

[luke_atyeo]

true yume, but that wouldnt be cheeky would it, plus if you pulled one of those off, it should frustrate him into playing more aggresive/hasily which is great for making him slip up into all sorts of fun traps and explosives.

also I'm suprised he can grab the contact, but then again it is dedede, how frustrating eh?

 

[etecoon]

that's not a DDD thing, a lot of characters(everyone?) can shield grab contact DACUS

 

[6Mizu]

Hey guys, can Snake do anything to MK's horrible air release except Dash atk. and DACUS?

Also,
Which is "safer" to do to MK' air release Dash atk or DACUS? (My guess is DACUS).

Dthrow.

Unless he is at 150% in which case dash attack.

Dash attack always when grab release.

 

[J4pu]

if snake uses cypher before his DJ will he still have it afterwards?
just something I thought of

 

[etecoon]

no. you can however footstool people after having used the cypher

 

[Berserker.]

In general, Snake's not helpless after cypher

 

[llamapaste]

I have trouble against any character with a good grab game. Kirby, D3, Yoshi, IC. Can anyone tell me the art of not getting grabbed or just playing more efficiently?

 

[MiniTroika]

Guys, i somehow cyphered twice. I didn't even get hit, i just airdodged and then cyphered again. I'll post a video again later since it was kinda odd.

If this helps or anything, before I airdodged, I was hit by a weak n-air from meta knight (not enough to knock me off). I airdodged (while still holding on the cypher after getting hit) and then cyphered again. @__@

READ BEFORE POSTING: Snake & General Data/Information


@Llama- work on your grenade game and your b reversal game. It allows for you to mix it up a lot more so you can avoid being grabbed. Just don't get grabbed by the ledge.

 

[I am Seth]

what's the dk/snake match up feel like for ya'll.

 

[Sinz]

what's the dk/snake match up feel like for ya'll.

It's 55/45 our favor imo. We will be discussing it in the match up discussion thread.

 

[I am Seth]

when ?

 

[Sinz]

A few months.

 

[TwentyTwo]

Uh, he's quite awhile away, so if there is anything specific in the matchup you're having trouble with ask, but if you just can't grasp it at all, I'd suggest videos.

 

[I am Seth]

oh I'm trying to beat snakes with dk. lol

def seen that before. to bad he lost the set.

 

[Dark 3nergy]

got any tips for b reversing nades on snake? hes like the one i have trouble b reversing nades with

its like I JUMP AND NOTHING HAPPENDS

 

[etecoon]

practice pretty much. any tech thing you have difficulty with just go into training mode and do it over and over and over again until it comes naturally

[DZhou]

How do I SDI out of ROB DSmash? I'm a little unclear on what direction to smash and which stick to use.

 

[Sinz]

Hold the control stick up and mash the c-stick up and to the side.

 

[DZhou]

Is there any universal method to know which direction to mash in multi-hit moves like Pikachu Dsmash, Zelda Fsmash, *Tornado*?

 

[Sinz]

Away on zelda fsmash. Hold up on pikachu's dsmash. Tornado hold up and mash the c stick up.

where the eff did my jump goooooooooooooooooo fml

 

[napZzz]

get him the air somehow and try to keep him there by reading whatever he does. Be smart close range and dont fall for his traps, spacing tilts will really help you in this matchup because (I THINK?) yours can outrange snakes. I'm not sure, its more of a guessing game overall.

 

[Yumewomiteru]

lawl SNake's tilts dont outrange DK's but Snake's is more disjointed so that helps/

 

[napZzz]

I thought they at least clanked and had fairly equal range. I wasn't too sure, thanks for the confirmation

 

[smashkng]

What should I do to deal with Snake's interference problems in doubles?

 

[Sinz]

Is he your partner or are you the snake? Make sure to control your nades more. Also, teach your partner nade games

 

[Teff]

Hey guys, I have a qeustion:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf845UUPQx8

How did that snake do that ledge grab thing at 2:03? He sorta grabbed right on to it from above real quick! Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm new.

 

[Berserker.]

It's called edgehugging. I know how to do it but it's kind of hard to explain. (Even though it's simple, lol)
