Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Snake

Solid Snake

Snake needs to be unlocked

The master gunman from the world of Metal Gear Solid makes his debut in SSBB.

Snake is an extremely powerful heavy-weight character that has all manner of gadgets and weaponry. He has very good smashes, great projectiles, strong throws, and good recovery, making him very powerful. Sadly, he can't do very well in the air, and should be kept on the ground most of the time.

A powerful recovery technique used by the pros is the 'C4 Jump'. What you do is, when you get knocked off, use your Cypher to get close to the stage, and then, right before the cypher disappears, drop a C4 and blow it up. If you time it right (when to drop it during the Cypher boost, in particular) you will hit Snake with the blast of the C4, allowing you to use another Cypher! This lets Snake recovery incredible distances!

When using the final smash, try and hit a little bit below the opponent about 3-5 times to successfully K.O. your opponent.

Press it for only a split second when on Shadow Moses Island, and Snake contacts Colonel Campbell, Mei Ling, or Otacon on the codec to talk about one of his opponents. If you do this while fighting Falco, Slippy calls him instead. This works for everyone he faces, including himself. If interrupted, the message will not appear.

Final Smash

Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher: Snake yells 'It's showtime!' before calling in a helicopter and starts firing grenades from the passenger area. The weapon only has two magazines, with six rounds each, so it is best to simply unload as many grenades as possible before the time expires. The grenades deal a considerable amount of damage and has a fairly large area of effect.

Match Ups

Ganondorf

Should be easy. Just attack him before he issues his final smash moves or if he uses his final smash you're doomed.

King Dedede

King Dedede is a big target for all of Snakes basic and special attacks. Just watch out for many of dededes hammer attacks.

Bowser

Always throw things at him including grenades before he gets close to you. If he does his direct attacks are very devastating against snake.
