I've been debating to myself whether I want Snake back. And I've decided that I'd be happy to see Snake back. Sign me up on the supporters list.

I've a few questions about Snake - 1: Would it be necessary to add in Snake's Codecs when Pit's Guidances are essentially the same thing?
2: Any ideas for a new stage for the 3DS and Wii U versions? Maybe they could get away with Shadow Moses Island on 3DS like Green Hill Zone, but given my knowledge of Metal Gear is there any other distinctive location that stands out in the series?
That's pretty much all I need to ask. I'm heading off to bed now - Good night.:tired:

1. Debatable. The Guidances stole the entire concept, so I wouldn't be surprised if Snake's codec was relegated to a small Easter egg like the Corneria convos on the 3DS version.

2. Shadow Moses on 3DS, methinks. As for Wii U, they have a few options:

-Make a stage to promote Phantom Pain(a la Wooly World)
-Make a stage from a recent game(Peace Walker's runway in the Nicaragua base is something I'd like to see)
-Shadow Moses twice(likely)

I want Snake in as much as the next guy, but unlike other possible DLC choices, his third party status makes his situation quite tricky.
Kojima didn't seem to have an active interest in having in Smash this time around, so if it were to happen he would obviously need to be involved and oversee his inclusion, however he is occupied with several other projects at the time. And not only Kojima, but Konami would have to be onboard as well making meetings, paperwork, supervisions, etc. mandatory. It's one thing to ask for Wolf or Lucas but with Snake it's a long shot. A shame really, despite not having the same iconic status of the other third parties, his moveset was fun and unique.

I don't think Saukrai cares. Kojima asked him to put Snake in and he was. Kojima wants Snake in Smash. If it happened in Brawl it could happen again.

On different note, I found this Game Theory on MGSV:

To be honest, I think that a form of Snake has the best chance of returning to the game (aside from maybe Wolf) as DLC.

He would generate the most hype for both series with the upcoming release of MGS5 and SSB4 DLC.

Snake by far has the best chance for first DLC after Mewtwo since Wolf and Lucas' special moves were delegated to Fox and Ness, meaning that they'll have to be changed significantly in order to compensate for this, and Ice Climbers have technical difficulties in the 3DS.

@ NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy I just logged on and got 10 notifications. 7 of them were from you liking my posts. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad.

I agree and was going to mention this, but they could simply just share custom moves (like the Clones in this game) and have their own be default - not sure if in the end it is actually a pro or con. Online doesn't allow customs, anyway, so their moves would be uniquely theirs again.

Wolf has SFWiiU going for him.
Lucas would have more of a chance if they released Mother 3 via VC.

I don't know if this makes any difference, but when registering my copy of Smash Bros. Brawl for Club Nintendo (since I was trying any way that I could to get more coins), I mentioned in the survey that I wanted Lucas, Wolf, and Snake to be brought back as DLC. It might not amount to much, but I figure that something might come of it if enough people do the same thing.

...i miss Snake.
He was the most unique one out of the 3rd party characters, and his codec conversations with Otacon were 100 times better than Pit & Palutena's cringe worthy ones.

Otacon makes everything better.

Otacon and Snake nerding out over Captain Falcon was the greatest thing ever.

Otacon: Snake! Watch out!

Snake: For what?! That pink marshmallow?
I'm just thinking of all the potential for Snake's Guidance, if he doesn't get his Codecs back.

Instead of a normal guidance, Palutena hacks into Snake and Otacon's conversation (ala Slippy).

Otacon: Ah, it's the Goddess Palutena!

Snake: You mean your waifu or something?

Snake was always the funnest 3rd party for either game. He was my second main in brawl and I always enjoyed playing him. I'd be so happy for him to return.

I dunno if anyone has posted this before, but a funny MGS related thing.

What is Snake's favorite food? Metal Gear Salad.

I had too much fun with the Codec/Guidance idea...

Otacon: Snake, I see you're fighting Pit again. Be careful, he's got a few new tricks up his sleeve! His Upperdash Arm will send you flying, and his Guardian Orbitars will send your projectiles right back at you!

Snake: Got it, the mutant learned a thing or two since the last game. I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

Pit: Um, excuse me, but this is supposed to be my guidance. And I am not a mutant.

Snake: What?! How did you hack into this frequency? Was it that toad again?

Palutena: No toads here, and I'm the one that's supposed to be helping Pit, so could you please take your reconnaissance elsewhere?

Otacon: A-ah! It's the goddess Palutena! This is just like one of my anime...!


Snake: What is she, your waifu or something? Snap out of it!

Pit: Hey! Don't think about Lady Palutena like that!

Viridi: Puh-lease, it's not like you haven't Pit.

Palutena: She does have a point, Pit.

Pit: H-hey, come on! We're in the middle of a fight!

Snake: ... I agree with the mutant, can we get this over with?

Pit: I AM NOT A MUTANT!

Otacon: The goddess of nature too! Ah, this is too much...!

Viridi: Eww, filthy human, stop being so creepy!

Palutena: Creepy? I think he's charming.

Pit: Eh?! What did you do to Lady Palutena?!

Palutena: Oh we haven't done anything, Pit. Yet.

Pit: I'mnothearingthisrightnow, I'mnothearingthisrightnow...

Otacon: A-aaahhhh!

Snake: Otacon? Are you alright? Hal?! HAAAAAALL!!!


I don't even know.​

I would die of happiness if Snake came back at all, but if they did this I would laugh harder than I did at the Robin/Chrom guidance.

Otacon x Palutena is my OTP. :troll:


I'm almost tempted to draw them together with Pit and Snake both hiding in boxes in the background.



...Then tweet it to Sakurai. #Snake4SmashDLC

I failed at drawing Palutena and Otacon... But I'll try again, someday.


But this happened:

Maybe I should tweet it anyway. Even though it's terrible and sketchy.

Ok, now I'm definitely tweeting it.
:snake:: Sonic got an invitation again...so where's mine? And why is the mutant using my codecs?!

Rayman: I know how you feel...that Pac-Man and Mega Man are playable and yet I'm a trophy...

If you look at it another way, the image suddenly becomes depressing.

Snake was one of my favorite characters in Brawl. I can only imagine what his codecs on the SSB4 newcomers (as well as Dr. Mario and Mewtwo) would say if he could return as DLC.

Then again, I do enjoy having Snake play for the Baltimore Ravens in my fanfic universe (during the fall, then when the offseason comes, he busies himself with other stuff, like for instance he is now starring in a stage musical adaptation of the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on Broadway).

I'd like to say that Snake would have had a serious Codec about Mega Man instead of fanboying over him like Pit and co.



...

:4falcon:



Never knowing what the Codecs could have been is almost as bad as not having Snake in the first place. . Almost.

Honestly, Snake is THE reason, to this day, I continue to return to Brawl. He is just too dang fun. I am pretty much done with smash Wii U until Mewtwo comes out and even then I don't know how long he'll hold me to the game. Snakes return would be the thing that gets me playing this game everyday, just like Brawl.

I was chuckling heartily at @ JamesDNaux JamesDNaux 's Pit Codec, but Snake's climax at the end made me burst out laughing. GG, bro, GG.

Curious as to how he'd react to Mewtwo~ :3
