Something I don't see Snakes do

[Ambient_Horizon]

I'm not going to go ahead and proclaim that I have invented a new technique with Snake because I probably haven't. I just want to discuss this technique I ended up using one day:

Shield-drop a Grenade and roll behind it.
Position yourself so that you are somewhat close to it.
Mortarslide so that you pick up the Grenade.
By this time you have stopped sliding you have roughly 1.5 seconds to toss the Grenade.

I like using this technique because its a good way to kill some cooking time with your Grenades and then you can follow through on it. You can chuck the Grenade at your opponent and since its close to detonating its easier to time the throw correctly so you can hit people with it. You can also just spot-dodge or shield if you're in an opponents face so they take the damage. I've also hit people with the Mortar (this takes practice) and then toss the Grenade upwards, it hits them while in the air and often yields a kill at a much lower percentage. I dont see Snakes do this maneuver and I've found it a great addition to my arsenal of pressure techniques. The difficult part though is making sure you don't end up taking damage from the Grenade (it just requires practice) and making sure you know when the starting animation of the Mortarslide can pick up the Grenade. Play around with it if you've never tried this. The 'slided" Grenades are great for creatiing openings and pressuring people.

Let me know what you think.

yep, people do it. it sure is alotta fun and a cool way to show off lol

 

[misterpimp5757]

heres something better for you...

shield drop...snake dash opposite way u are facing.

pretty cool if u ask me.

Haha yes I do like to use that to show off. Plus its just another goodyin my bag of tricks I call mind games.

On a side note: I wish I could actually invent a new usuable tech with Snake. Oh well I can dream right

Something I don't see Snake's do is plant a C4, keep an internal timer on it, and try to let it explode on its own on the opponents.... such a good way to get kills, lol.

Razer does that. :D

 

[Ambient_Horizon]

That's something I learned to do after nearly killing myself several times because I forgot my own C4 lol. These days I either detonate C4 frequently so I don't lose track or it or I will occasionally keep an internal timer on it. Some people get wary though when they see you staying near your C4 so you have to be able to do that and look natural playing lol Its pretty fun though.

 

[Nintendevil]

I do it all the time, except faster, because I don't roll behind it.

 

[Ambient_Horizon]

I have a little difficultly picking it up after just shield dropping. Do you just step behind, It always seems like I have to space myself before attempting this move.

its really easy and the fastest way to do it, kinda of a mind game too unless you do it too much. Your opponent probably won't expect the mortar slide (after all you are standing backward) and its a really quick pick up so they may or many not notice that as you are mortar sliding toward them that you have the grenade in your hand and didn't leave it on the ground.

Look me up vs roy and seth i actually do it lol.

I've seen a few do it. It's a good safeguard against getting your mortar-slide shield-grabbed. If they grab you, the grenade will blow up save you. Useful against chain grabbing characters.

xxCANDYxx uses it really well. Here the thread with videos:

You can shield drop a grenade, immediately snake dash in the direction you're facing, as long as the grenade hasn't hit the ground, you'll grab it every time.

 

[StoleUrCar]

This is a months old method. Seriously what's with the sudden fad of coming up with "new" techniques nowadays? Any decent Snake has figured just about all of these out of improvisation long ago.

hey youre from michigan, you should come to the ann arbor tourneys

we need moar snakes

 

[Fizzi]

Yeah, this is very useful. If people like to punish your mortal slides you can make them think twice by always mortar sliding with a grenade in hand. I often time it so that it will explode right after my mortar slide giving myself just enough time to shield.

Don't roll behind it though, that's slow. If you mortar slide in the opposite direction you were facing and your timing is good you will pick it up right away. If you wanna mortar slide in the same direction you were facing walk a bit in the other direction and then mortar slide. Much faster than rolling.

Yeah I'm like one of 2 good Snakes that Ive seen in this area. If you know of any big ones coming up soon let me know I'm always up for representing the Snake community here I need to win some more tournaments.

And I will have to try that tech for picking up nades with the slide easier. Thanks guys.

 

[| Big D |]

What?!

I use that technique a lot. It's good defensively and offensively.

Fizzi, you don't even need to move after the shield drop grenade, you just need to be fast enough to initiate the dash attack before the dropped grenade hits the ground. If you do it right, you can SnakeDash the same direction you were facing, while grabbing the grenade, without walking/rolling.

Try it, work on the timing, it works every time.

I know you do it, and I do it too, but it's hella fun/good, and Snakes was more a generalization than a full exclusion XD

 

[Raikou3322]

I would do something similar to that, but I would mortor slide them up, the opponent will hit the missile, then I throw the grenade up so it would explode and kill him in the air.

 

[notftomearth7]

Thanks for the idea, but I don't think people are that N00Bish to run at you when a gernade is in their path.

You and me are enough Snake for MI given our placings at the last circuit event :D

 

[Hot_ArmS]

haha yeah true we dont want michigan to look like a tier ***** state

 

[Ambient_Horizon]

I guess I'm going to have to go up to Ann Arbor sometime and show that the Detroit area has some good Snakes too. ..God there are WAY too many Marths down here it drives me crazy. Its not like he's even a bad match its just annoying to see everyone play the same character.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

have you ever played omegaxf?

 

[Ambient_Horizon]

Yeah Ive played him in person once. Craziest Marth I ever did see...I see him on campus every once in while. Long story short he did beat me ..hes the only Marth that has. He played me after I won this tournament.. .I play like **** after tournaments but hes insane I probably wouldve lost to him even if I was fresh and ready for a match he's that good. It was nice to see a non-generic Marth though.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

What? There are other tournaments we haven't heard about? Its not a real MI tournament unless people from Ann Arbor show up :D

 

[Ambient_Horizon]

I want to see these good Ann Arbor people! I've heard great things about Ann Arbor and had some people come down here for some tournaments but I havent ran into anyone thats really that good yet. I know theres some good people though..where are yougood Ann Arbor people hiding? lol

 

[Hot_ArmS]

in ann arbor? lol

come on saturday gooooo

 

[Ken Neth]

This is a cool technique. I use it a lot because it's an effective way to cook the grenade while still attacking. I will either mortar dash towards them and then throw it back at them when I'm on the other side, or if the mortar slide hits them up just right you can throw it up and have the grenade kill them off the top. I've done this 4-5 times and it is one of my favorite kills to get.
