| abstract | - Unveiled at E3 2006, Snake (スネーク Sunēku?) is a character who appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Instead of using a gun, like he usually does in his games, he was designed instead to use explosive-type weapons and CQC (close quarters combat) from his own games. At E3 2006 it was announced in one of the first teaser videos for Super Smash Bros. Brawl that Snake would be included in the game, making him the first official "guest" character in a Super Smash Bros. game. Snake currently ranks 6th on the tier list. He had been second in previous tier lists, but as of the sixth iteration was surpassed by Diddy Kong. His high ranking is a result of his quick and powerful neutral and tilt attacks, great range and the large hitboxes on many of his attacks, and being surprisingly the third heaviest character, therefore being extremely hard to KO if Directional Influence is employed effectively. He is also one of the fastest heavyweights movement-wise due to his DACUS. Almost all of his moves have high KO power, and he can set up amazing tech-chases with his down throw. All of this, along with his large variety of projectiles, excellent matchups, and great stage control with his projectiles, places Snake high in tournaments.
