The Official Solid Snake Discussion Thread

[shadowmm151]

how can you begin to even guess that? Guessing his moves and final smash are all fine and dandy but where he'll be on the tier list? That's a bit much don't you think? Especially since it looks like Sakurai is doing his best to eliminate the tier lists (whether or not that happens or not is still a complete mystery though).

[MR.WIGZ]

there will always be a tier list in my heart

[shadowmm151]

Well as much as I hope you're wrong I'm pretty sure you're right about that.

[ness4life]

...I just had a thought.

If Snake and Metaknight aren't being shown on smashbros because they are "Secret Characters", does that mean that all of the revealed characters will be starters?

[colbusman]

that's what i think. all the characters so far are starters. probably when metaknight is shown, that's when we're getting secret characters

[Snake King 1]

up+B missile 4 extra jump and hits people below or on ground up+b charge to aim like when he blew up pit
Down+b 4 box
B lots of different guns
>+B stun grenade or hold for a regular grenade
A = punch
AA= punch, then kick
AAA= Punch, kick, then knee
Up+ A= strong kick like in movie and jump a little
down+A= Kick down awesome with up+A
>+A= strong punch
grab+up kick up or punch up
grab+down throw to the ground and kick in face
grab+<= choke + throw

some one mentioned in another thread that on the melee site, they didnt start doing posts on secret characters till the game was already out.

[GenG]

Tomorrow is Hideo Kojima's birthday. Do you think we could see a MG related update? Shadow Moses? Big Shell?

[colbusman]

if it's anything like sakurai's birthday, we'll get something big. that would be cool to get snake tomorrow, but i doubt it. then again now i won't be too surprised if he does show up

[Fabiano]

Meta Knight is profiled a few days ago.
Snake should come soon.

[Brawlmatt202]

The way I see it is, not only is Snake going to be a secret charactr, he's a GUEST character, meaning he's not, technically, a Nintendo character, meaning even among the secret characters, he'll be the most secret.

Notice that in ALL of the screenshots of the site, as well as all of the updates, there is not a single glimpse, or mention, of Snake anywhere there. Even before Meta Knight's profile was up, he was mentioned, and seen a few times.

There he is...waiting, to pop out and surprise...the DOJO :)

[colbusman]

that's old man. most of us know he's in that pic. still it was a surprise.

man i want to see him in action. we need his dojo update

[colbusman]

*bump*

yartch found some Snake pics and i had to put them in here. thanks for finding them dude. you can see them on the first page

[Flying Pig]

It looks as if he is in the background not in the level.

[Stryks]

ZOMG SCREENSHOTS!! very awesome, I guess that cypher thing COULD be his upb, or it could be some type of parasol, good for a MGS item...

anyway nice find, where did thos epics come from anyway??

[Dynamism]

TGS

Bam Snake can actually recover!
I like his B moves so far :P

[colbusman]

the Konami stand during the Tokyo Game Show. i just found them here when i logged on and decided to put them in the thread

[T-major]

it's good to finally see some more stuff on Snake.

I think the cypher is his up B. it could be an MGS item, but did Sakurai say that they would have third party items? I don't think so; of course, he didn't say they wouldn't either, so anything is possible.

honestly though, I think it's his up B... I mean, I just can't think of another possible/plausible up B for him. I NEVER would have thought of him using the cypher. it's amazing that they thought of it...

[colbusman]

i never had a chance to play the second game. what is the cypher?

[T-major]

i never had a chance to play the second game. what is the cypher?

if I remember right, it's was a flying servalance drone/turret.

also. Home Run Bat FTW!

[Vagrant Lustoid]

I think, given how close the shot of him appears to be with the Cypher, that it may actually be his pre-battle entrance. Flying in on a Cypher. I still hope for the Stinger as his Up B, to propel him up with recoil, but I wouldn't mind a Cypher Up B. Especially if it's a Gun Cypher.

[Ralph_Marquee]

Its kinda hard to come up with a final slash for him huh?

[Vagrant Lustoid]

Snake just got awesome. Non-melee Smashes? Kick-***. And I love the Nikita. I think Snake has become truly unique, with his non-melee smash moves. Soooo many explosives though.

And I was wrong about the Cypher, it is his Up B. Well awesome.

[Fastinyoh]

I think the cypher is his up B. i


Heyyyyyyyyy now.

[Kentalicious]

i nominate name change to Snake Snake???!!! Snake!!!

then we can close my thread

[Yukiwarashi]

*looks at Snake grab Ike*

......How's he gonna do that to Ivysaur? O_o;

[Kirby knight]

Such a nice update. However does this finally throw out "hidden characters will not be confirmed on the dojo"theory?

-Knight

[PsychoIncarnate]

OMG Snake actually is IN Brawl!!!

OMG Snake actually is IN Brawl!!!

[Vagrant Lustoid]

It potentially ruins the theory, yes. However, Snake having been revealed as a character months back means the theory isn't necessarily totally dead. They might choose to hide the remaining secret characters. My thoughts are that Kojima wanted him to wait until that MGS4 trailer got released yesterday or whatever before revealing Snake.

[drewdizzal]

cypher + mines + grenades + CQC = SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! (sex)

[Kentalicious]

2 recoveries

se his flying reconnaissance camera, the Cypher, to recover

[tirkaro]

*looks at Snake grab Ike*

......How's he gonna do that to Ivysaur? O_o;

heck, how's he gonna do that to KIRBY!? 0_o;

[prettymanfairy]

Wait. Who said Snake would be unlockable?

[silver777]

Snake......??? Snake???!!! Snaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!

The music kicks ***!!! and it is orchestrated!!!!!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_070921c-l.jpg

He will snap Ike's neck!!! OMG!!! =D

[Vagrant Lustoid]

He'll punt the little ******* up into his hands like a hackey-sack. Cause Snake takes **** from nobody. Still, I was disappointed at the lack of crawling revealed in this update.

[Skivich]

Snake is a nice update but a dumb character for brawl

[PsychoIncarnate]

...Snake confirmed as an AT...

****, I wanted him in Brawl...

[RBinator]

Snake for top tier! :chuckle:

I wonder why they waited this late, along with no mention of him otherwise outside of trailers and being an unlockable. From the looks of things, Snake looks like he's gonna be a pretty unique character, mainly the non-standard standard moves and ya, I'm sure that sounded weird. I almost feel like playing as him first, if he would a starter. I never expected that recovery however. What were the ideas that people came up with for Snake's recovery before we found out what it truly was?

As for the "no secret characters before release" theory, well, I don't think that's been proven false yet. Snake may be unlockable, but he's not secret, since we already knew about him. He could have been the one exception. So till a unlockable character (besides Snake) is confirmed before release, I think the theory still stands.
