The Ultimate Snake Compendium

[tsl]

D-tilt would have too much startup to be useful in this application, IMO. U-tilt has a decent hitbox to Snake's sides, so I'd imagine that you'd only have to land him near the enemy in order to get a hit. You could probably just aim straight for the opponent (or where he'll be, depending on how you read him) when you jump.

Snake's hitboxes are OMG WTF what is this I don't even know.

lol yes, yes up tilt is too good. And the strange one in the center of his body for bair.

 

[SK8orDIE]

Hey Yes!!, update your post. This is sooo out of date.

I've hit B-air with Snake's head before. o.O I believe his whole body is a hitbox for that move.

Yeah, this seriously needs an update.
And most of the speculation was wrong, so just remove it and add FACTS.

lol, reclassify bair as the worst sex kick ever.

 

[Nayruu]

instead of shielding to initially drop a nade: an alternative for teh sake of mindgamez is Z. youll drop the nade, but do a grab motion that looks exactly like a throw. great for tricking people

 

[Green Thunder]

I dunno if people have said much regarding this, but it could be a good mindgame helper.

Do a dash attack but not with the intent of hitting your opponent. If you land close enough in front of them and hold down, you can go straight into a down tilt that might get someone who was trying to shield the dash attack.

 

[Infamaz]

when i press z to drop a nade, snake throws it instead and it does a grab

Did you know that Snake's down B bombs appears to have the form of butterflies sometimes? Maybe the effect changes on the bombs when they become butterflies? I don't know, I wasn't the one who found it out.

Just an easter egg, besides appearance they have the exact same properties.

Its only a visual reference to MGS3 Semtex , nothing less nothing more...

 

[Kempatsu]

I use Snake quite a bit. I was trying to find out something with his Charged Land Mine and while it was briefly mentioned in the beginning of this *terrible* compendium, it was never fleshed out.

I tried doing things with the charged land mine and normal landmine. I didn't notice any difference. Has anyone found out what the charged landmine is good for? Lets get that one out of the way place, thanks.

 

[Jeff Highwind]

There's a 13% difference and slightly more knockback. That's about it. It does make a nice mental threat to your opponent though if you pull it off. "OH SHI- fully charged mine. D: "

Edit: If you think about it, the mine starts off at 17% and peaks at 30%. Snake essentially had a motion-sensor FALCON PAWNCH!!!

How do you Snake Dash? I've tried it so many times and I can't get it.

How do you Snake Dash? I've tried it so many times and I can't get it.

Just cancel the first couple frames of the dash attack with an u-smash. Some people do it via dash + a and cancel it with a c-stick up or even up and a. I personally use c-stick down to start the dash attack, and use the z-button and up to cancel it. There's no one way, and you can probably mod your controls to make it work.

 

[JonBeBonanza]

Umm i'm no snake expert ( at least not mgs lol) but cypher does about 6% damage, you know just a little f.y.i.

But i have a quick question: How do you do the dash attack into the Up smash?

 

[Jeff Highwind]

I got this, hang on

Edit: Dude, just read the above posts. Also: SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

Lol yeah my bad...the swf was taking forever to reply and kept getting the "busy server" thing but when i edited it yesterday it was supposed to say " nevermind i saw the top one".

But thanks for the vid though.

 

[OlimarFan]

Thanks for the guide and vids I find it very useful. I actually think Snake is slightly underpowered: He's good already, but he's nowhere near MSG4 Type

 

[totaKK]

this guide is a bit outdated:/

using snake's Fsmash to edgegaurd is not a preferable strategy and is easily punished. Snake has much better options such as using mortar shells, tilts, and mines.

 

[abit_rusty]

I think this guide was based on initial impressions of Snake before his current metagame was developed.

 

[shadowtroop]

too bad snake can't really wall-jump...

 

[megamanexev3]

MMMmmhmm, this is a very old guide, but still useful for new players.
