| '''Solid Snake''' (real name '''David''') is the main character of [[Konami]]'s ''Metal Gear'' series of games. He is one of the results of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project, a government project to create clones of the renowned soldier "Big Boss", and is constantly given the mission of deprogramming the various versions of the bipedal nuclear-armed tank called Metal Gear. Solid Snake has appeared in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, debuting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], ''Metal Gear'' series creator Hideo Kojima originally asked him to include Solid Snake in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but as the game was too far into development at that point, he could not be included and was instead added into the next game.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=2576 [E3<nowiki>]</nowiki> Interview: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Miyamoto, Sakurai]. N-Sider (May 11, 2006). Retrieved January 1, 2016.</ref> Like in the ''Metal Gear'' series at the time of release, Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version.

| |
| Snake's appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was revealed from the very first trailer premiered in May 2006. His reveal was very noteworthy, marking the first time a third-party character had debuted in the series. He uses his general appearance from ''[[wikipedia:Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', though also taking elements from Big Boss in ''[[wikipedia:Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', such as the facial hair and his alternate costumes based upon the camouflage suits. By doing a split-second down [[taunt]] on [[Shadow Moses Island]], Snake contacts one of several ''Metal Gear'' characters by [[List of Snake's codec conversations|codec]] to analyze the opponent, including [[Smash Taunt characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]], [[Smash Taunt characters#Otacon|Otacon]], [[Smash Taunt characters#Colonel Roy Campbell|Colonel Roy Campbell]], or [[Smash Taunt characters#Slippy Toad|Slippy Toad]] (though only if the character being analyzed is [[Falco Lombardi]]).

| |
| [[File:Snake SSBB.png|frame|left]]
| |
| Snake's [[Cardboard Box]] is first seen in a cut-scene after clearing [[The Research Facility]], but Snake himself doesn't show until later. Once he's ready to begin his mission, Snake reveals himself to the player and begins sneaking around the [[Halberd]] Battleship. He hears a sound approaching him as he's walking around, and quickly hides in his box as [[Lucario]] and [[Meta Knight]] pass by him. However, Lucario turns back around, and sees through the box with his Aura. He picks up the box, much to Snake's surprise. Snake readies himself for battle, but Lucario notices [[Primid]]s coming with his Aura. Lucario then tells Snake to follow him and they form a party. Later, they reach a room in which there are two cages with the trophies of [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], and the purple [[Shadow Bug]]s make dark versions of the two. The team fights the evil princesses and defeats them, rescuing the real Princesses out of the cages they are kept in.
| |
|
| |
| As Meta Knight and Lucario leave, Snake tells the two girls to stay where they are and then proceeds to catch up. Lucario, Meta Knight, and Snake have gone to the bridge to find that there are a lot of [[Mr. Game & Watch]]es piloting the ship. Snake runs and throws them all out the window, making them all land on the deck of the Halberd and turn into Shadow Bugs. Snake and Lucario then jump out the window to see the Shadow Bugs create [[Duon]].
| |
|
| |
| Later, when the team encounters [[Tabuu]], Snake and the rest are transformed into trophies. If Snake is rescued during the Great Maze, he'll join the team and help take on Tabuu.

| While Snake was completely absent from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', he has been confirmed to be returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character after a decade long absence from the series.<ref name=E32018Direct> Nintendo. (June 13, 2018). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akohTFyGu88 Nintendo Direct: E3 2018] ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 13, 2018.</ref> His basic moveset is mostly unchanged from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; for his down smash, however, he now executes a forward and backward kick similar to [[Captain Falcon]] instead of planting a mine in the ground. Additionally, for his Final Smash, the player controls an on-screen reticle to lock onto opponents by hovering it over them, after which Snake sends out heat-seeking missiles to attack them.<ref>[https://youtu.be/7NLKrPYYQt0 31: Snake – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 15, 2018.</ref> Snake's series emblem is now the exclamation mark that would appear when a character is alerted in the original series, replacing the FOX Unit logo (which is also the former logo for {{wp|Kojima Productions}}) following Kojima's departure from Konami. His home stage Shadow Moses Island also makes a reappearance, as well as his codec conversations, albeit the recycled ones from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and excluding those for fighters that do not appear in that game.

| [[File:HandGrenade.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|Snake's Hand Grenade in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Hand Grenade}}
| |
| '''Hand Grenade''' is Snake's standard special move. When used, Snake takes the pin off of a grenade, letting him walk around with it if the player holds the special move button. He is able to throw it at any point, and he can have up to two grenades at the same time on the stage. Three seconds after the pin is removed, the grenade blows up, even if Snake is still carrying it. Being physically hit by the grenade deals minor damage, while the actual explosion deals moderate damage and decent vertical knockback. Other characters are able to grab the grenade and throw it before it blows up. There are three types of throws: tilting back on the analog stick while throwing causes the grenade to land closer to Snake, tilting forward causes it to land farther, while not tilting causes it to land between the two. Snake is unable to hold a grenade while [[shield]]ing, and he covers his ears if one blows up near him.

| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Remote Controlled Missile}}
| |
| '''Remote Controlled Missile''' is Snake's side special move. The move has Snake use a missile launcher, called a "Nikita", to fire a guided Nikita missile. The missile's path depends on which direction the control stick is tilted: not moving it lets the missile fire straight, while tilting it moves the missile in that direction, though at a much slower speed. When the missile hits something (whether it is a wall or an opponent), it explodes, dealing moderate damage to any enemies in its radius and greatly knocking them back. The missile can also be stopped prematurely by having Snake [[shield]], which immediately stops it from moving forward and makes it plummet to the ground. It can also be damaged by other attacks, exploding if it takes too much, and its path can be altered by attacks with enough knockback. While the missile is in motion, Snake is unable to move.

| [[File:Cypher.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The Cypher in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Cypher}}
| |
| '''Cypher''' is Snake's up special move, based on the flying security drones seen in ''{{wp|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty}}''. Snake pulls out a Cypher unit and uses it to fly upward a certain distance. The Cypher does no damage while Snake is holding onto it, though it deals weak damage to any opponent that it comes into contact with after Snake lets go and it flies off. While Snake is flying around, weak attacks will not stop him, though they still do damage to him. Unlike all other characters, Snake's up special can be reused if he is affected by a non-damaging move that would normally disrupt the move, such as a [[Footstool Jump]]. If Snake pulls out a Cypher while another one of his is still in flight, the previous one blows up.

| |
| [[File:SSBU C4.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|A C4 placed on [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|C4}}
| |
| '''C4''' is Snake's down special move. When first used, Snake plants a C4 on the ground. Activating the move again causes Snake to pull out a remote and detonate the explosive, creating an explosion that deals strong damage to any enemies in its vicinity. If Snake is close to a wall, the C4 is stuck onto there. The C4 can also be stuck onto opponents if they're close enough while Snake plants it, and it can be passed between characters by coming into contact with them. The C4 can also be knocked off if the character that is holding it is hit with a strong attack, and eventually falls out on its own after enough time has passed. Using the move in mid-air causes the C4 to quietly drop straight down. If Snake is attacked before he pulls the trigger, the C4 does not explode. If the C4 isn't detonated after about twenty-six seconds have passed since it was planted, it blows up on its own. Snake's C4 has a one in six chance of being a butterfly-shaped '''C3''' that is otherwise identical; this is a reference to ''{{wp|Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater}}'', when Naked Snake molds a heart-shaped C3 into a butterfly and briefly plays self-catch with it (referring to an earlier event where he "missed" catching a butterfly due to the recent loss of his eye).

| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Grenade Launcher}}
| |
| {{distinguish2|[[Mii Gunner#Grenade Launch|Grenade Launch]] or [[orange grenade launcher]]}}
| |
| '''Grenade Launcher''' is Snake's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. When the [[Smash Ball]] is broken open and the move is activated, Snake jumps high into the air and hangs onto a rope ladder dropped down by a helicopter, subsequently flying to the front of the screen. Snake then grabs his Grenade Launcher and starts aiming at his opponents. A reticle is placed wherever Snake is aiming, and the grenades that he fires land straight on it. Each grenade explodes on impact, dealing great damage to anything in its radius. After six shots are fired, Snake reloads the clip of the launcher. Firing six more clips ends the Final Smash, dropping Snake off back on the stage. Snake fires automatically if too much time is spent between grenades. The Final Smash also ends after a long period of time, even if not all of the grenades have been fired.

| |
| *'''Snake''': It's more than that. He's got my moves, my gear... It's like looking in a mirror.
| |
| *'''Colonel''': Do you think they collected data on you and created another Snake...?
| |
| *'''Snake''': He's got the same build, too. Creepy. But his Sneaking Suit is a different color. And his tactics are slightly different.
| |
| *'''Colonel''': Interesting. So even if you're evenly matched in power, your fighting styles will make a big difference. You've faced tougher odds in the past, Snake. Don't let this impostor beat you!!

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the codec call about Yoshi, Snake suggests capturing him to "see what he tastes like," Naked Snake's typical response to animal life in ''Metal Gear Solid 3''.
| |
| **Ironically, Yoshi would later make a cameo in the Nintendo 3DS game ''Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D'' as a replacement for the Kerotans, and even having a radio call about Yoshi added in.
| |
| *In the codec call about Peach, Snake, after criticizing Peach for constantly letting herself get kidnapped instead of actually doing something to prevent it, is accused by Mei Ling of not getting many dates, alluding to how he constantly has trouble maintaining a constant relationship with various women, notably stiffing Holly White in the ending to ''Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake'' and his leaving Meryl Silverburgh sometime between ''Metal Gear Solid'' and ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''.
| |
| *In the codec call about Donkey Kong, Snake refers to the latter as being a "chip off the old block" upon learning about how he's the most recent Donkey Kong after inheriting the title from [[Cranky Kong]] as well as continuing the tradition of being a rival to Mario, alluding to how Snake himself inherited his title from his "father", Big Boss/Naked Snake, who himself had inherited the title of "Boss" from his mentor and mother figure, The Boss.
| |
| *When Snake talks about [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] over his codec, he mentions that he dislikes Sonic, giving no specific reason as to why. This may be a reference to hedgehogs being common snake predators in real life, as their spikes prevent the snake from being able to eat it. In the Japanese version of the game however, the codec call can be assumed as a joke, because Snake's Japanese voice actor, Akio Ōtsuka, is the son of [[Dr. Eggman]]'s Japanese voice actor, Chikao Ōtsuka.
| |
| *Solid Snake is one of only two characters in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] to come from an M-rated series, with the other character being [[Bayonetta]], who is a downloadable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''.
| |
| *Snake, or more specifically, his frequent usage of the cardboard box, is referenced in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': when in [[Fort Cobalt]], a Toad is hiding in a box, saying he's being "stealthy."
| |
| *Although he is called "Solid Snake" in this game, his actual appearance is technically a mixture between Solid Snake himself as well as his "father", Big Boss, or more accurately his Naked Snake self from ''Snake Eater''.
