So, since I sorta killed the thread discussion, I'll ask a question.
What got you hooked on Metal Gear or Snake in Brawl?
For me, the Snake Eater 3D demo got me hooked. I spent hours replaying that demo, I believe I had 20 hours in it and almost no uses left on the demo. I got hooked on the stealth gameplay, and took probably too much pleasure in using a Sniper Rifle to destroy the guards radios, not headshots.
My favorite Snake memory in Brawl was anytime my friends and I were on a big stage, being able to spam Nikitas at a Smash Ball. We all played causal back then. I actually have changed my main in Brawl to Snake. I just can't willingly go back to Brawl Link at this point. Snake was my secondary, and when I played Brawl with friends over Valentines Day weekend, I won every match I played, and only used Snake that night(with the exception of the time I was told my someone to show them my moves and was told I was too slow. I won both of those matches too).
