I'm not fantastic against snake but I think I have some insights. As always, take it with a grain of salt. Keep what you like, ignore what you don't.
Snake is such a pain in the ***. All I can say for sure is powershield and get grabs. Snake on the ground ***** you. Snake ruins tornados for the most part (a perfect one always ***** everyone, but those are hard). Snake also kinda ***** aerial approaches, though through mixups you can get them to work sometimes. So your only reliable popup tends to be grabs.
Jab dsmash seems to work alot, but it sends him pretty far, and thats no good for punishment. What you really really want to do is put him in a situation where he's teching on a platform. You can nearly always get a hit in this situation, and if you're lucky you can get two or three. Juggles are good too, becuause snakes seem to love that airdodge. Just watch your spacing and dont let him ffad out of your range.
Another thing, is that if you're super scared of the grenades, you lose. If you let a snake pressure you with grenades and put you where he wants you all you can do is cross your fingers extra hard. Just try and play them smart, but dont get punished for picking up a grenade, try and figure out what they like to do when you pick one up and react accordingly.
I have one trick that I like alot, and I'm sure it works. Snakes like to recovery REALLY high, luckily you're luigi and you can get REALLY high. What you want to do when they're going up up up is use your rising cyclone on jump1. This puts you at the top of the stage with an extra jump handy. This is a fantastic situation for putting snake into a position he doesn't feel comfortable. Maximize. If you're massively lucky, or super genius you can land an aerial shoryu up here for a like 30% kill. But, good luck with that. Just something to keep in mind.
Overall, snakes tilts just poop all over luigi in a ground battle. If you can predict and powershield them correctly you can gain an edge. But overall it seems to me to be clearly in snake's favor. 6040 or 6535. You MUST keep your thinking cap on for every second of the game, if you slip up or go autoweeg, you lose, no questions asked.
P.S. Though I love you all, I don't do these for you, I do them for me. It helps me to form a plan, when I can have everything I know written and reference-able. I hope it helps someone though. OS likes to tell me when you go into a fight don't just think "im gonna beat this guy", think "im gonna beat this guy, and this is how". Ally likes to **** my luigi, cruising in 2nd gear (though he's only done it once, im sure he enjoyed it).
