Who else predict an upcoming Snake nerf?

[UltimaXtreme]

My reasons he might be nerfed sometime in the upcoming patches:

1a. He's extremely heavy
1b. Combined with his Cypher recovery, he's insanely difficult to kill
1c. C4 explode -> another Cypher ability
2a. Godly melee attack priority
2b. Very quick kills (~100% possible just from his tilts)
3. Has a durable C4-Cypher recovery that possibly gives him one one of the best "off-ledge airgames" in the game. (this is a very difficult tactic, but its possible to do it after a little practice). Basically what this tactic is, is that he can Back-air the person while he's in the air, then cypher, kick him again, then C4-explode yourself-> cypher, and b-air him again, then C4 recover back onto the stage. you take a little damage but if you do it correctly it will ruin the other persons life.


He's hard to master because his play-style is so different, but the level of potential this character has is exceptional. With the massive array of tricks he has to offer, this character in my opinion, is probably the best character in the game once you master him.




I'd like to hear the communities opinions on this matter.



edit: my mistake, no patches will be released, but still voice your opinion in regards to snakes balance in this game.

What "upcoming patch"?

 

[Geph]

Forgive my ignorance - where did you read that there would be patches for Brawl?
I was entirely unaware of any such announcement.

 

[Jeff Highwind]

How the hell do you patch a fighter game that one can choose not to be on the internet for? Also, no downloadable content = no chance.

 

[Kinlap]

I don't think there will be a patch for Brawl or most Nintendo games for a while or at all. I don't think Nintendo or Sora are too good at balancing games in the first place. Also, if they nerf Snake, then got a certain special winged meatball that needs to hold hands with Snake and probably a few other characters. And, if it does happen, I'll just suck it up and adapt to the "patch", although Brawl isn't exactly a MMO or RTS.

He might get nerfed in SSB4, but that will be 6 years in the future lol.

He might get nerfed in SSB4, but that will be 6 years in the future lol.

but by then everyone will be complaining about the playable character, Chuck Norris

 

[UltimaXtreme]

[Nayruu]

[UltimaXtreme]

this is what i get for assuming things beforehand.

a 2 min search solved the problem







anyhoo, snake will be #1 in this game >8^3

Next time have a source before you claim anything.... what a waste of space.

did you even read my edit? go troll somewhere else McUgly

Snake is ez. All you have to do is play very aggressively and Snake has a very hard time. I figured this out the hard way. Played some guy and got annihilated first three matches. Everywhere I moved I was getting exloded, but after I decided to just be a ***** with Marth, I was fine. :]

 

[UltimaXtreme]

You sure it wasn't just the player? usually offensive players just get tilt-spammed to death.

Also , i can't help but feel like snake is a passive counter to Melee-only classes such as marth.




Snakes tilts are killing capabilities are just insane x.x, he gets kills sooo easily compared to other characters, and not to mention the up-smash missiles, and mortar slide.

Yes, and how does that change anything? You still created a thread saying that there is an "upcoming patch" without any source. We don't need the boards littered with random bull crap that dorks like you pass off as fact just because you heard it as some random rumor.

 

[Battousai780]

Well, maybe it was also the stages I started picking. I was Marth and therefore battlefield owns all. Also, Delfino Plaza is an amazingly good counter vs Snake (his **** dissapears with the stage.) But it was hella noying. When I got close he would do that dash-mortar thing. (not calling it gatling or dlx-hit cancelling for the sake of not starting an argument about the name. hehehe)

But really, this guy was pretty good.

 

[abit_rusty]

I usually beat Marths but I got careless and was gimped pretty badly on Delfino....and come to think of it I also lost on Battlefield against the same marth in the same set of matches....and this was online with the Marth coming from AiB. I beat his ROB and Olimar though .

coincedence battousai!? o.O, I'm not joking lol.

On topic: Na, he's fine. It's not like people are making threads left and right here complaining about Snake being broken. (see: Olimar's thread). Snake's got counter characters, stages, and strategies, like everyone else.

 

[MarthSephirothfan]

Yes, he's far from the most unfair character to battle in the game in my opinion *coughtolimarandpikminwolfo'donnellpitmarthtoonlinkcough*

 

[UltimaXtreme]

lol all i see is "*coughtCap'n CrunchandPokemonKittyo'donnellPalutena's *****Yaoitoonlin kcough*"

is everyone here getting sick? *coughpikachucough*
