Smash Lord
Ive made my rounds to a few other smash bros areas around the net, and it seems like i said that snakes haters have grown very bold after pacman's reveal.
It sickens me to see so much hate for such a great character from so many nintendo fans. Just the gamefaqs posts alone are just horrendous, have a look at this rainbow pile of crap
"During Nintendo's e3 showing, Snake was no where to be found. However, if you wanted to see him.. you could take a trip to the Microsoft or Sony booths where Metal Gear Solid 5 was being shown. How embarrassing would it be for Nintendo to include Snake after being absent from their e3?"
"but the boundaries were REALLLY stretched and pushed to make him belong.
They managed to succeed incredibly well, I just think we have reached a place were someone like Snake just isnt who should have in smash, even if they can make it work, they can also make other characters work ten times better."
"One other thing I've noticed is that they seem to have distributed his move set to other characters. ZSS final smash, Sheik's grenades, etc."
"Snake was a great addition moveset-wise. But he's a terrible addition from almost any other angle. He was out of place, his series is out of place with Smash, and worst of all, he's not at all synonymous with Nintendo anymore. Remember the Sony Press Conference? "Metal Gear Solid is a staple to the Sony franchise"
"But no matter. The evidence just piles up and up against Snake's inclusion, and he doesn't really get any evidence that would work in his favor. You can argue all you want, but chances are, your favorite soldier is getting the axe."
"The argument is that Snake doesn't belong in a Nintendo crossover game, even with third parties allowed, and Sakurai only put him in because dat bias."
"He felt really out of place next to Nintendo's characters, and Snake barely has any games on Nintendo platforms to justify him being in Smash."

And this is only from ONE THREAD
At this point as a snake supporter this is what drives me up the wall about some fans, and their nintendo purist attitude. The one that bugs the most is that people seem to think that snake was torn apart and his assets were place on other characters which just isnt true. The biggest example people are trying to use is zero suit samus' final smash, which only shares the fact that you can aim with a reticle, if that is what they think its ridiculous because a ton of characters already have transformations yet that doesnt stop others from doing it either.
Thus ive come up with something that may work in our favor for snake in the longrun. Snake is definitely deserving and still very possible, but they are leaving us kinda high and dry at the moment. So i think its time that we finally strike back, and make nintendo and everyone take notice while the time is right and while they are looking at feedback.
Thus i introduce are hashtag to get the word out about us wanting snake to return
#bringbacksnakeSSB4
or something to that extent (it could be worded better if anyone has any suggestions). But I think if we can get that to trend, and get it on miiverse enough with artwork and other things it might get the word out and also help other snake fans rally together so we can be as loud as we truly are deep down.
Petitions wont work, and with everyone in the media skirting around the issue this could be beneficial in many ways, especially if snake doesnt return since it could get sakurai to consider DLC with him in the longrun.
