READ BEFORE POSTING: Snake & General Data/Information

Since the last one was outdated by 5 months, I figured I'd go ahead and remake it and keep it updated because I'm a no life like that.

We know about the Double Up-B Cypher Glitch, please make sure to check this entire thread twice before posting a new thread. It may be covered here.

Thank You's and Other Notes

I would like to thank Samurai_Panda for coming in and reminding me of out outdated some of our stickies are. And for giving this a sticky

I would like to thank everyone else that has contributed a thread that is 'featured' in this thread.

Notes:

Threads that have a "Last Updated" by them are Guides/Indexes/Matchup or Stage Discussions. Things such as Q&A's have no reason to be updated, therefore do not have a "Last Updated" by them.

Nice dude. Especially that last one, I never thought such a thread existed >_> (lol, Jiggs gets KO'd at 82 by U-tilt)

OP Updated.

Video 3 for Havokk's Video Guide coming soon.

Any threads I missed (that haven't been replaced...) let me know

EDIT:

OP Updated again

Edit2:

OP Updated yet again.

Could I suggest you put in something about Snake's Cypher exploding so people don't ask that question as well as the Double Up + B glitch?

Just to clarify, I've tested and the explosion that happens when you pull out another Cypher doesn't seem to do any damage at all D:

I haven't seen us have any problems with that. >.> lol....

When we have problems, I'll add it.

EDIT:

Havokk's Video Guide has been updated with video 3

*BUMP*

OP went through an EPIC makeover! Make sure to check out all the new threads, including old ones made by Gimpfish and Mew2King!

Very interesting reads, and has some tips and tricks that may have been forgotten (such as powershielding to the c4 stick by gimpyfish!)

Also added descriptions to most, if not all of the threads.

Wow, that was a fast sticky! It deserves it, though, this looks pretty thorough.

o.0 So many threads started by Havokk...

OP Updated with Snake Frame Data and the 27 second C4.

Not enough threads by me.... (only 7 + this thread and 13 not by me)

OP Updated with yet another topic of mine.... :o

OP Updated.

abit_rusty's guide has been updated (only a small update for now... have to get used to the order of his guide to make better edits)

Great thread man! This is perfect for me to learn and get better at Snake with!

Ok everyone!!!!

"Snake Q & A **BIG Update: Cross Referencing Added** by T*H*O*R"

You see that? Yah... THOR has intrusted me with his information. I will be updating it/bumping it soon.

The most giant compendium of knowledge, even though a tad outdated, will be completely updated bit by bit. New things will be added, old things fixed, etc.

I believe that thread is already the largest and most organized Q&A on Smashboards, and I will be leaving all of his formatting in the thread, and continue to use his formatting when I edit the thread.

I'm looking forward to this.

I also may update his other thread:

"Stage Control/Pressuring Guide: Final Version by T*H*O*R"

Theres all 3 of the Cyphers.

Lol yupp, its looks funny when you ignore the logic and reasoning behind it.

It's nothing special though =p

Video on proper DI coming soon (to end all questions about DI, and because it'll be useful knowledge for me to know with further proof, besides theoritcal results from other data I have.

I will also update the "last updated" times sometime soon, lol

Updated with controller port priority guide.

Nice compilation Havokk.

Updated with more recent frame data thread.

(Any threads I should add?)

I just might be able to get good with snake now. Thanks

Updated yet again.

Updated:

Q&A, and this one other thread. (lmao)
oh yah, and the title.


"Warning! The last reply to this thread was posted over two months ago."

<_< this was worth it.

replace the video thread in there with mine

mine isn't old and outdated =p

Updated yet again - new threads added, some replaced.

Awesome thread! It's really helpful

Yet you still have the social thread stickied...

Umm....this is old. Two months old people. If some one would like to make a new one and keep up w/ it go ahead.


No Bumpin

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

nobody bumped it except for you

LOLZ,
I was just trying saying no one after me. Or this post.
----------------------------------------

it didn't need to be said, nobody had bumped it since October, it really was rather stupid to post in a thread nobody was posting in to tell people not to post
