from what I can tell(I have the game) he has crazy power and will destroy with the right combo of player skill and opertumity.of course wether he will stand up to marth short hop double forawd A I have yet to find out. also hes very slow and his jump sucks his roll attack (runing A) is quite effective and he will take damage from some of his attacks like granades and c4 but will not with others like his anit air launcher.

Sadly everyone who has played the game says that it's too early to give Snake a rating. They all seem to agree that he ***** if you put in the time though. At least we all know he'll be a Sonic counter cuz of all the mines -lol-

oh yes snake ***** but he is extremely awkward to play at first, don't play him like you would a melee character for the love of god

I started playing Melee when I heard Snake was going to be in Brawl so I could be ready. Turns out it's an entirely different physics engine... I should've been playing Halo 3.

well it's not like playing melee will doom you, when I said don't play it like melee I meant the advance tech stuff for example:

Dashdancing makes you look stupid because the timing is incredibly weird so you usually just end up dashing and stopping... so no pivoting either it seems

You can tell when someone trys to wavedash because they just do a short hop airdodge in whatever direction they were moving in

^ same with attempted jump canceled grabs ^

everyone was short hopping and fast falling aireals... like half of snakes aireals are useless if you fastfall them

and it's not just snake like marths foward smash is pretty terrible, people seemed to be getting killed by his F-air off the ceiling and the sides more than forward smash

and sometimes you trip randomly which is weird

basically what I'm trying to say is.. this isn't melee 2.0 it's brawl, don't play it like melee.

I really don't know what else to say about how to play it... try new stuff you can attack after you air dodge, you can attack after you Up-B, be creative :)

snake's aerials have so much lag afterwards, but they all look really strong. his dash attack seems really good and so do his tilts

His tilts are amazing. Forward tilt is like gentlemen+, and can actually KO. His uptilt gets out-prioritized by a lot of dairs, but it's really strong. His down-tilt looks cool and keeps him low, it's like Sheik from melee all over again.

Yea id rather not
Personallly i dont think he will be too overpowered. Yes his moves are strong and can pwn anyone but you also have to think of his lags, jump ability, and speed. He might just be another Ganon...low speed, low jump, but very strong. Personally he is gonna be one of my chars that I will play with alot. Plus, his final smash is fricking awesome
