KACHOW!!!
Smash Journeyman
I don't want this to just be a bunch of people's guides, but to actually fill up with decent video content of snake plays and top players (so please don't upload footage of you and your buddy fighting each other). So far the only footage of legit good/serious players I can find are these two guides, one by Shofu, and the other by Jtails. Comment another link and we'll see if it's legit, then I'll add it to the thread. If some super high level Smashboards mod wants to take this over from me go for it, because I'm a smashboards pleb/scrub. This could all be worthless in a week when the first patch comes out.
Top Players:

VS Awestin @ USW 4

Note: this is a great set just to see what setups and punishes snake has available, and great recoveries.

Side note: I'm sorry if this is too much Ally, and the state of this thread should always be fluid because people will adapt and find new ways of playing snake which should be explored, so nothing I've posted here is guaranteed to stay forever: something might get patched out or fall out of usefulness in matchups or the meta, so be prepared to change with the times.
