Trying to pick up Snake

I don't consider myself a ''pro'' but Snake is one of my mains so I'll give my 2 cents

Snake's tilts are sexy as you probably already know, they hit as hard as most character's smashes, up and side tilt are the moves I ko with the most. Side smash is ok as a roll punishing surprise, but keep it unpredictable, an under 50% ko is always cool.

Avoid air combat if possible, if someone is fighting you in the air I'd advise trying to bring things back on ground asap. Snake's aerial game lack flexibility due to bad air control and general lagginess.

Snake have good projectiles but they take some setup, he get outcamped by real spammers and then you're in for some hurt, so distancing yourself too much against projectiles abusers like ROB and Pikachu isn't cool.

Hope it helped and enjoy the manliness that is Snake

You kinda forgot his out of shield punishments. His nair and his dair are common punishers when you jump out of the shield. Just make sure you do a full jump to hit all 4 kicks of either the dair or the nair. For me, I always make sure I have a grenade in hand just in case I need a distraction for the enemy.

Here are two tips...

1. Check out the stickied threads in the Snake forum. It will provide you with so much info. You should check out the new matchup thread also.

2. Please don't be another ftilt spammer. It just gives the rest of the Snake users a bad name.
