Solid Snake

Solid Snake is the main character of Konami's Metal Gear series of games. In the games, he is constantly given the job of deprogramming the dangerous weapon, called Metal Gear. His main choice of weapons are heavy explosives. He was the first third-party character to be confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

Snake's appearance in the first trailer was a surprise to fans primarily because third-party characters (those not belonging to Nintendo or any of its second party affiliates) had never been present in the series thus far and also because most of the Metal Gear games are rated "M". He appears in Brawl as he did in Metal Gear Solid 2.

Snake fights using hand-to-hand combat, and use a variety of explosives, rather than rely on firearms. Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version.

Codec Conversation when fighting another Snake

• Snake: Colonel, it's me! I'm fighting myself!
• Colonel: Snake, what's going on out there?! Could it be...? Has the "Les Enfants Terribles" project really come this far?!
• 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!!

Role in the Subspace Emissary

Solid Snake in the Subspace Emissary.

Snake finds his way aboard the Halberd and starts looking around the area (his box was seen earlier in The Research Facility). When he hears a sound, Snake quickly hides in his box as Lucario and Meta Knight pass by him. However, Lucario suddenly stops, and using the Aura, sees through the box and sees Snake. He takes the box off him, and Snake is shocked. They were about to battle as soon as Lucario saw Primids coming with his Aura. Lucario then tells Snake to follow him and they form a party. Soon they reach a room in which there are two cages with the trophies of Peach and Zelda just after they see that the purple Shadow Bugs go to them and make dark versions of the two. The team fights the evil princesses and defeats them. The good Princesses are taken out of the cages they are kept in.

Lucario finds Solid Snake in his Cardboard Box.

Meta Knight and Lucario leave and Snake tells the two girls to stay where they are. The princesses start there wondering what to do, so then, Zelda turns into Sheik and decides to follow Snake. Peach follows Sheik. They reach the top of the Halberd, where they meet up with Snake and get Fox to join the party. By then the three (Lucario, Meta Knight and Snake) guys went to the engine to find out that there are a lot of Mr. Game & Watch piloting the ship. Snake runs and throws them all out the window. Snake and the other two jump out the window, only to see Shadow Bugs create Duon. Falco then comes in.

Snake, Lucario, Meta Knight, Peach, Zelda, Fox and Falco fight the monster and after defeat, they see a Mr. Game & Watch trophy. After Peach revives it, Mr. Game & Watch join the party. Later, Snake ends up fighting Tabuu along with everyone else in the game. Template:Endspoiler

Super Smash Bros. Special Moves

Hand Grenade

Hand Grenade

Hand Grenade is a Special Move used by Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Hand Grenade is Snake's Standard Special Move. It is a projectile attack, and can be carried around as well, comparable to Link and Young Link's Bomb attack. When used, Snake will take the pin off a grenade, and start walking around with it. Then, when he finds a good opening, he can toss it. However, if he doesn't throw it after a few seconds, it will explode on him, massively tieing this move with Link's Bomb move. Kirby can imitate this move when he sucks up Snake's powers. If other charcters act fast enough they can catch or pick up the thrown grenade and throw it again like a standard throwing item. There are three types of throws:

• HandGrenadeSoftThrow.jpg

  Soft Throw
  Tilt back while throwing.

• HandGrenadeMidThrow.jpg

  Mid Throw
  Don't tilt at all while throwing.

• HandGrenadeStrongThrow.jpg

  Strong Throw
  Tilt forward while throwing.

Remote Controlled Missile

Remote Controlled Missile

Remote Controlled Missile is Solid Snake's Side Special Move in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It can be somewhat compared with Samus Aran's Missile attack, as it uses a guiding Missile to attack the players opponents. When used, Solid Snake will pull a missile launcher out of hammerspace, and fire a missile, (called a Nikita), from it. He can then proceed to guide the attack, and direct it into another player. Unfortunately, Solid Snake's concentration is put entirely on this attack when it is used, so he will be open to attack while using Remote Missile. However, all Snake has to do to stop guiding the missile, is shield, then, he will lose concentration on the missile, and focus on the rest of the battle

Cypher

Cypher

Cypher is an attack that only Solid Snake can use in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is his Up Special Move. This attack is definitely a very unique move, even for the Metal Gear series. When used, Solid Snake pulls out his flying spy camera, the 'Cypher', and will hover upwards a far distance. Doing this, he is able to recover from a fall, in case he is knocked off the stage. However, Snake cannot fly for very long, so the move will stop quickly. The attack does not deal any damage to other players.

Snake won't flinch from weak attacks while using this move. Additionally, when he releases the Cypher, it can damage any opponents that it rams into.

C4

C4 is the down special move of Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When used, Snake plants a C4 in the ground, and then makes it explode after the attack is used again. He can place the C4 on another opponent, if he's close enough. Approximately one out of every 6 C4 packs Snake uses will be a C3 butterfly explosive. The power of the attack is unchanged in these instances, however.

Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher is Solid Snake's Final Smash attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Imitating the basic gameplay found in the Metal Gear Solid series, the player must fire Grenade's from a third-person view. When the Smash Ball is broken open, Snake jumps high into the air, with a helicopter dropping down a rope ladder for Snake to hang onto, as it flies to the front of the screen. Snake then grabs his Grenade Launcher, and starts aiming at his opponents. The player must now aim the cursor at the opposing players, and fire the Grenades with the attack button. There are 12 Grenades in the launcher, and using all twelve will end the Final Smash. Time running out may also stop the attack. Firing senselessly may not work, as opposing players may easily dodge the grenades. Careful aim, and good timing are the keys to using this Final Smash well.

Trivia

• In Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a remake of Metal Gear Solid for the Nintendo GameCube, figurines of Mario and Yoshi can be found in Otacon's office. Shooting Mario will not only generate the original 1-UP sound, but restore the player's life. Shooting Yoshi only lets out his "Yoshi" signature.
• Solid Snake is the only fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series to come from a series of games that are rated M (Mature).
• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Solid Snake's attacks always seem to make a gun shot sound effect. This is likely because the Metal Gear Solid series uses a lot of firearms.
