Overview

Snake plays a noticably different game from much of the cast. Where many zoners may struggle to establish control when out of position, Snake, armed with Grenades and a C4 (Down-B), can exert pressure on any part of the stage, from anywhere on the stage. Where other zoners may feel pressured up close, Snake's fast and large normals allow him to box with any character who gets too close. While some zoners lean on odd setups to kill, Snake can simultaneously construct Rube Goldberg kill setups or take stocks with uTilt, fTilt, a stray C4, or a Nikita (Side-B) edgeguard.

Snake also incorporates an unconventional mechanic: Collateral damage. Snake's Grenades can damage himself and spawn frame 1, allowing for combo breaks and calculated trades which become much more worthwhile if he holds a stock advantage. C4 also damages snake, which he can use offstage to launch himself upwards and refresh Cypher (Up-B), effectively granting him an infinite recovery. This makes even the longest-reach fighters reconsider their conventional gameplan.

That being said, Snake is not without weaknesses. His incredible kit is counterbalanced by terrible mobility stats, including poor ground speed, sluggish air movement, committal jumps, and a dependence on b-reversing special moves to land. His self-damage goes from a blessing to a curse when behind, needing to make hard decisions such as eating a combo or dealing self-damage that doesn't guarantee escape, or detonating a C4 on himself to avoid an early stock loss offstage. What's more, his airdodge is frame 4, meaning that without Grenade he's forced to take damage equivalent to R.O.B. or Ridley, further emphasizing the importance of choosing his combo breaks wisely, if he can even break out.

Players interested in a trap-based character with every tool at their disposal at the cost of mobility will get a lot out of Snake.

Summary

Snake is a zoning/setplay hybrid that dictates the pace of the match with his projectiles, traps and strong normals.
Pros	Cons
Great Zoning: Snake has a combination of great projectiles and great normals. This allows him to easily keep his opponents away from him. Oppressive Ledgetrap: Snake's C4 and Usmash allows him to cover most ledge options Great Chip Damage: Most of Snake's attacks (normals and projectiles) hits fairly hard, allowing him to quickly rack up percents while zoning Impenetrable Defense: Grenade and a 6F OOS (Dair) gives Snake one of the best defenses in the entire game. Hard to Combo: Despite being combo food in terms of stats and hurtbox, Snake can easily break out of most combos with his frame 1 grenade. This makes comboing Snake harder than usual, provided disjoints aren't on the table. Setplay: Snake's Dthrow leads to a potentially looping tech chase on hit, in which Snake can cover almost every option. Edgeguarding: Nikita (Side-B) is one of the best edgeguarding tools in the entire game, while also being very safe to throw out in that situation.	Sluggish: Snake is one of the slowest characters in the game, both on the ground and in the air. Struggles to Land Due to his slow air speed, Snake can have a rougher time getting back to the ground than average. Exploitable Recovery: While Snake can theoretically recover from anywhere, his Up-B moves slowly, creating moments of vulnerability offstage. High Endlag: Many of Snake's normals have lots of endlag, leavine him open to getting punished on whiff. Self-Damage: While Snake's defensive and recovery options are extremely strong, they also force him to take damage in order to reset neutral

Can continue to drop through platforms from frames 1-10 if Backward Air Attack was done during a platform drop.
Can autocancel in a fullhop

A backwards dropkick with long, disjointed range, fast startup, and high KO power for its speed and size. It also has a lingering hit that can make it difficult to counterattack when Snake is landing, although it's high landing lag makes it risky to use on shield. These properties make it decent at edgeguarding and KOing, although it is outclassed by Side Special in most regards.

Snake takes out a grenade. He can :

- throw it in three different ways, upwards, forwards, and in between by tilting the stick - keep it - use his shield and drop it. Although the animation takes a little while, the grenade is there from the first frame.

The grenade behaves like a normal item, which can be picked up It explodes after a hit or after 2.5 seconds.

It is used to block, attack from a distance, and to break combos. Its also a good movement option by B reversing.

Snake sends a guided missile, the player has control of it but it makes snake vulnerable. Although you can cancel the nikita, it is still quite laggy.

When the light on the launcher turns green, after a while, the missile will inflict maximum damage. The missile inflicts good damage and has a good ejection power.

Use it for ledgetrap, ledgeguard, or keep pressuring when you are sure that your opponent will not be able to punish you.

Snake is carried by the cypher to get back up. At the end he drops him and the cypher continues its way, but will then have a hitbox.

The Up Special can be cancelled/followed up by any snake move or airdodge, and can even combo on an aerial, but keep in mind that Snake loses his second jump when he executes an Up Special.

Snake's C4 is one of the most important tools in his kit. It allows to control a part of the map, and puts pressure by its simple presence: when it explodes it inflicts heavy damage and ejects far away, if the opponent is at low percent and/or Snake anticipates it is possible to combo afterwards.

The C4 explosion has a good range, and can even hit under platforms, or even under the thinnest stages when placed on them.

The C4 can be placed on the ground, platforms, walls, and even on the opponent, but it can give it back to you when it comes in contact with you. Snake can also drop a C4 from the air, which allows him to have an "infinite" recovery by exploding.

It explodes on its own after 27 seconds, and drops when stuck on a player after 12.5s.
