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, and strong throws, 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 recover over 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.

Standard Attacks

Wii Remote + Nunchuk	Wii Remote (sideways)	Wii Classic Controller	GameCube Controller	Standard Attack	Info
				Basic Combo	Damage: 4%,3%,7% Total Damage: 14% Urgency:Low-Medium Punches twice then kicks. Good for doing a quick 14% and knocking the opponent back to use snakes projectiles. Able to kill most characters around 120%, so it's better for doing damage instead of KOing.
+	+	+	+	Knee Lock	Damage:8%,9%-12% Total Damage:17%-20% Urgency:High Snake knees the opponent then punches them out. Does more damage depending on where the opponent is hit. Usually a better choice than his neutral A combo because it does more damage and still launches about the same distance. This move can also lock opponents with its first hit.
+	+	+	+	Leg Blow	Damage:12% if hitting an airborne opponent, 13% if hitting an opponent on the ground. Urgency:High Snake kicks upwards. This move is known for its ridiculous speed, range and power. This is easily Snake's most reliable KO move, able to kill most characters at about 100%.
+	+	+	+	Low Sweep	Damage:10% Urgency:Low Snake crouches down and kicks. Although it is fast and has good power, Snake's up A is just as fast with more damage and vertical range and the same horizontal range, so this move shouldn't be used very much.
while dashing	while dashing	while dashing	while dashing	Dash Lunge	Damage:11% to opponents on standing on the ground or in midair, 9% to targets laying down on the floor. Urgency:Medium Lunges straight into the opponent. A great move because it can be used to hit an opponent before a dekus uses the up smash and it has great range for a dash attack. The only problem is if it is used right next to an opponent then it will completely miss the opponent.

+	( or )+	or	or	Whips out a cardboard box in a slightly different way and hides under it.
	+			Whips out a cardboard box in a 3rd way and hides under it. 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. They do have a slight delay, though, so aim where you think an enemy will be in half a second, instead of where they are at the moment.

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.
