Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at the design of Solid Snake in the Super Smash Bros. series, and how the first guest character the series has had doesn't fit the mold for a traditional fighter OR the stealth game character you'd expect. Instead, Snake embodies the bold, creative spirit of the Metal Gear series to absolutely incredible effect to make one of the most unique and well-realized members of the whole roster!

But to actually contribute to the conversation, Snake absolutely blew my mind as a kid. I’m in the generation that started their Smash journey with Brawl. It was wild to see Snake, this realistic character clash with Mario and Pikachu. Now a little more seasoned, I know more about Snake and the Metal Gear series (not too much though since I haven’t played the games). But the fact that this Snake in Smash is wholly based on tactics and improvisation over stealth may throw off some people but makes sense to me when you consider something not too many people look at…his entrance animation. For those that don’t know, it’s a reference to Metal Gear Solid 2, as he is wearing a new suit that makes him completely invisible. However, due to the weather conditions, it shorts out and he is left exposed and he has to improvise. This is either accidental or intentional genius in terms of Smash, because this implies that he was planning on being an invisible threat from the start, only for shit to go sideways as it always does and now he has to improvise a new plan with all he’s got. I think of it as the cherry on top of his current design, and it makes me love playing as Snake all the more.

@doodoofartman Год назад

I don't feel like looking it up, but I think he's also crawling while the suit cuts out. Maybe he wanted to sneak past at first?

@just_matt214 Год назад

@@doodoofartman he's not crawling, it's a reference to how, in the opening cutscene from MGS2, he throws himself off the Golden Gate bridge to land on a tanker while cloaked out - landing like that. It's what causes the camo device to short out.

@CyColt 5 месяцев назад

Snake intended to be a ghost, but the entrance shorted his camo. Match start. Time to get creative.

@krausercruz2780 Год назад

I always say that there are two types of stealth Characters: - The shadows who sneak by and do their job before anyone notice like Sly Cooper. - The Saboteurs, less about the sneaking part and more about disrupting the enemy, like Snake.

It always makes laugh thinking of how Snake got into Smash. Kojima was just like "this is a gaming all star thing right? Can I get my boy in there"? And sakurai was just like "I got you next time bro".

@DyxoXinoro Год назад

One of my favorite matches I ever played in Smash was at a doubles tournament me and a friend entered togerther. It was my Yoshi and his WFT versus a Snake and a Gren. I got taken out pretty early trying to lock down the Snake, knowing he can be a nightmare if left alone, but the frog wasn't having it and my partner was too focused on keeping the Breathing buff up and having a full charge for Sun Salutation to keep me from getting surrounded. So once it was him against both of them, the Snake did something I never saw coming. He planted a C4 charge on his own partner. The frog then proceeded to run face first into my buddy, run back to get another charge, and continued acting as this insane suicide bomber for the rest of the match, and mine only survived as long as we did because he was able to read the snake and know when it was about to detonate, air dodging _just_ in the nick of time. And let me tell you, once both me and my buddy realized what was going on all four of us could not stop laughing at how absurd this strategy was, nevermind how effective. Needless to say, we lost that match pretty hard.

@KingKalashnikov Год назад

That reminds me of an old Brawl doubles strategy, where you'd have a Snake and a Meta Knight, Kirby, or any other character that has an upthrow where you go to the top blast zone for a second. You'd stick the C4 onto your teammate, and then have them run at the opponent, get a grab, upthrow, and right when they're in the top blastzone, you'd detonate the C4. Due to throw armor, your teammate would be perfectly safe on the return, but your opponent would die at 0%. It still works in Ultimate, and since more characters have those 'top blastzone slam' upthrows, it works with more of the cast, too!

The fact that the C4 recovery strat is one the CPUs use often shows how integral it is to his Smash Bros appearance. Most other tricks like that the CPUs never really do (at least, usually not on purpose) and so them consistently doing this trick is very intentional.

Do you have to get it to stick to yourself or do you just do the down special input twice really fast?

@the_godbodor7026 Год назад

@VinLAURiA 11 месяцев назад

This video was like an emotional drug, delivering a constant dose "oh _hell_ yes". I've never seen anyone perfectly encapsulate why I mained Snake in the Brawl days, and while I've moved onto other characters as of Ultimate, still keep him in my back pocket. Snake perfectly fits my playstyle of playing defense while analyzing an opponent and then doing what I can to mess up their usual gameplan and methodically tear them down. That's part of why I really liked in Brawl in particular, because Brawl's slower and more cerebral pace fit well with that style. Snake is the guy who says to twitchy rushdown characters, "Screw your flashy hyperaggression BS, you're on _my_ turf now."

@williammin8340 Год назад

Whenever I face a snake player in smash, I rarely take him seriously when I can just overwhelm him with melee attacks and prominent projectiles, only to see him be walled off with occasional self detonations thar get him out for a brief moment. But as soon as I find all my typical approaches and plans backfire constantly because of some explosion that I did not notice, that's when I truly start to take things seriously and even dread to face him. At that point, as the snake player improvises to interrupt my gameplay, I too need to improvise to interrupt his gameplay, leading to a match that strikingly resembles real-time chess.

@PipeFoxDream Год назад

All I knew about Snake as a kid was: 1: he had a missile launcher 2: that’s all I really NEEDED to know And yeah, Stealth isn’t what makes Snake the ultimate soldier, it’s just one more piece of his tool belt. He’s meant to be a pragmatic hero in the same vein as Indiana Jones

@TrainerZN Год назад

The feeling of making a setup up to make a enemy to be stick with c4 then with the granades, grabs and the up smash to making him near to the upper blastzone, and then NOW. That feeling, is one of the best of all Smash. I love that so much.

FYI if you’re still mad about “Snake not being stealth-based enough”, there’s an interpretation of him as a custom Workshop character in Rivals of Aether with a line-of-sight mechanic and limited ammo you have to resupply from hitting opponents It’s certainly a thing

@supermarinewor1 Год назад

It's actually interesting to learn how Snake's interpretation in Smash Bros. is focused on outsmarting your opponents instead of stealth. Seeing your videos got me interested in a possible designing for of the bad endings of the Mario Kart series and how they pour salt into your wound (unless something like that was already done). That aside, this video gave a great learning lesson with why characters like Snake have the playstyles they inherit today.

@maugos Год назад

Thank you. I feel that's what a lot of people forget about the design of the Smash characters. It isn't about just throwing in references, but using all those references to make the character FEEL like that character. Sure, they don't work all the time and sometimes a character has abilities that are there more for making them unique in a fighting game setting rather than their home series, but I feel the point still remains. It's why I find a lot of mods like Project M and the like are neat, but ultimately not as interesting.

@theendersmirk5851 Год назад

We can agree Ganondorf needs a rework to actually deserve the name though, right? Because I understand people's argument about the man being about power, but no, that's Ganon. Ganondorf, the Gerudo king, is a physically intimidating man, yes, but he's also a cunning tactician. His every plan is to force you into a situation where you do his work for him because he removed your option to do much else. He is also incredibly hard to actually make stay down. These should be his traits: dangerous, and capable of forcing you into situations you never intended to get into, with a strong recovery. At the same time, he *should* leave weak points in his defenses, considering he always leaves a path for Link to prevail open. Slow Captain Falcon doesn't cut it for the feel Ganondorf projects in the games... except his forward smash feels about accurate to Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf, but that's it.

@maugos Год назад

@@theendersmirk5851 Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm of the opinion that most characters in Smash need a tinkering. Most just need a few things changed here and there and some, like Ganondorf, need a full on rework. I just feel a lot of fan mods do weird stuff that don't make much sense for the characters either.

@theendersmirk5851 Год назад

@@maugos agreed. I haven't paid a ton of attention to Ganondorf mods, but they usually seem to fall into Smash's trap of "he has Triforce of Power. That mean he do the big strong" despite the fact that, as Ganondorf, and even while Ganon, his greatest strengths has always been tenacity beyond any logical limit, and his other best known trait is the ability to enforce situations he *should have* won, had he not underestimated certain risks inherent in his plan. Ergo, a good Ganondorf mod should have at least one good trapping tool, an unreasonably long distance recovery, and decent striking strength, although probably not so high as current Ganon has. Slow walk speed makes sense for him, but his attacks themselves don't need to be telegraphed for ten years. He is a thief king after all.

@Lexicon865 6 месяцев назад

Honestly I feel Smash didn't really nail the representation of characters in their kit until Ultimate because most of em did not age well *Solid Snake, however, is one of the exceptions.* Like they somehow nailed him on the first try, which is insane. And Ultimate just serves to improve him by way of the system mechanics overhaul + his new Down Smash, even if I do still kinda miss the land mine

@Magic_Ice Год назад

I always loved Snake in Smash but I was unsure if he was a good design because explosions on a stealth character? Preposterous. It wasn’t until you and Duke’s character design tier list where all of my love was finally vindicated. He is just so cool and while can be frustrating to play against and as, he is just the coolest character ever.

@vigorouslethargy Год назад

One thing about the MGS series is that while overall progression and exploration relies a lot on stealth, some sections and petty much all boss fights are pumped with adrenaline and over-the-top action. Fighting a tank? Grenades are the way to go. Fighting a Hind-D helicopter? Stinger missiles are pretty much required. Lots of explosives in MGS.

@Magic_Ice Год назад

@@vigorouslethargy no I definitely know I love the series

@Zerethos 6 месяцев назад

What I see in Snake is that he is literally a tank, LITERALLY! He is slow, can’t jump high but when he hits any of his attacks, he hits HARD! He also has defence like a tank, you can practically throw everything you got at him and he keeps trucking along, especially when it comes to recovery. Overall I just love Snake.

@TheOneSapCan Год назад

I’ve always thought that metal gear solid wasn’t a stealth game, but a resource game with stealth mechanics. Honestly, Phantom Pain is the only REALLY stealth oriented MGS game in my book

@Rhubarb120 Год назад

Another reason that the explosive specials fit Snake perfectly, that I don't see people bring up, is that they are some of the very few weapons that are 100% NEEDED to finish Metal Gear solid 1. The grenades are needed to take out Vulcan Raven's tank, C4 is needed to open the sealed wall to get to the cave, and the Nikita Missile is needed to turn off the electrified floor. Future conversations and Codec calls also say that these are the canon way Snake made it through those parts.

@chrismaystar3014 Год назад

Going through the history of Metal Gear, I don't know why people are surprised about specifically Snake's special moves. They make so much sense. • C4 was THE most important weapon in the original Metal Gear, the only way you could beat the game. • The Nakita was a weapon you had to attain by back tracking to beat a boss, a hallmark of classic Metal Gear gameplay. • The grenades are symbolic of one of Snake's biggest feats, beating a tank with nothing but grenades and dodging.

I wish I had the brainpower to understand Snake's kit and get that good with him (or at least a *_little_* of his endlag or windup got trimmed, plus that could bring him more in line with Twin Snakes on GameCube as I understand that's a remake lots of people enjoy over the PS1 original), but I'm still glad he got into Brawl & Smash 5 and I hope he gets to come back as Konami continues the long march to redemption after all the MGS5/"ex-Kon" chicanery (lot to ask for, but one can hope, no?)

I only played a Metal Gear recently, and thinking about my experience with that game in comparison to the Smash moveset... well, the moment he's spotted, all stealth goes out the window.

A Big Boss rarely has to engage in such things outside of scripted bosses, but no one is Big Boss level on their first playthrough.

if anyone want a platform fighting game character truly based on visual stealth, i recommend Frosburn from Rivals of Aether, he certainly does not have good damage or kill confirm, but he can clone himself and put smoke on the stage to blind and confuse he's ennemies, he strike where you're not expecting him and will combo you to death for confusing him with his clone

@joshdavis8381 Год назад

And I'm still in a dream snnnnnnnaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkeeeeeee plllllllaaaaaayyyyyyeeeeerrrrrr! One taunt that got added through a mod was Snake saying "Squeeze my hog" as a reference to Vinny from Vinesauce playing the metal gear games (and occasionally using that line in his best possible snake voice). I'd love for that taunt to actually be added, but that'll never happen XD Anyways, Snake is a lot of fun to play as in either version of Smash you play. It's nice to see a guest character have an actual playstyle, and not just be cheese in a fighting game. Winning with Snake can really make you feel like you outplayed your opponent, and it's fun to try and subtly lay some c4 from an ambiguous height. Really helps to emulate Metal Gear Solid in Smash, and that's what the best characters do in a crossover fighter. Fun fact too: Kojima wanted Snake to be featured in Smash, because his son was a huge fan of the series. He was gonna be featured in Melee, but had to be cut due to time.

This exact video sums up my love for snake on smash, and also why i feel so frustrated that i cant play him. As you mentioned, yeah, smash mods give Snake a more "accurate" -on gigantic quotes- depiction of snake, with more tools and more straigh forward options, but the whole tactical part of Sakurai's original intend is what makes this character so great. I would be able to play him if we streamline him, but i prefer being this complex even tho it means im not able to enjoy it. Sakurai is an absolute genius and Smash constantly blows my mind on how Sakurai manages to have a roster of over like 70 characters, and almost all of them feel so accurate on how they portray their series or characters (being the ones who don't usually the original crew from 64). These characters arent just archetypes, these characters are detaily crafted to feel as closer to their origin material as possible.

At top level, sure, but spamming grenade, dash attack, and upsmash at ledge can get you pretty damn far, especially online (dont mind me, just salty i always lose to elite smash snakes)

@DesigningFor Год назад

That's fair, but I do feel like they're still working toward that win condition whereas most characters are "I hit you. Now I'm going to hit you again. Maybe I'll apply a buff in the middle, and then I'm going to hit you again". Snake needs to actually get you into the part where he CAN up smash at ledge, nikita when you're far offstage, etc., and actually tossing grenades properly will do that. Plus it feels really, really good to beat Elite Smash Snake. Because they think they're smart and then you get in and they're like OH GOD OH NO. They get it a lot less free than Samus, at least!

Project M 3.0 - 3.6 is the best moveset for Snake

FINALLY! As an ex-MGS speedrunner, I can say Snake is one of the best-designed characters, along with Megaman, Belmonts, Cloud, and Bayo. This is what I HATE about P+ Snake, with his daggers and Tranq. That's not Snake. People be out here not understanding the nuance of Sakurai's genius design. At least they gave the cigar taunt

Snake literally fights a tank with c4, this guy is not that stealth based

Once again my friend good may great video. I love this channel with all my heart. And your recent Donkey Kong December ...that was incredible. Seeing this channel praise my favorite childhood series and still my favorite Nintendo series. Tied with the Crash Bandicoot series. It was so much fun

If this is his design then, why doesn't he have more tools then than the normal smash character to let him improvise more

Brawl introduced me to Snake, Pikmin, Kid Icarus, Punch Out, so many many things. Brawl will always be in my top 10 video games. And while Ultimate is better in combat. Brawl will always be my favorite smash

Project M Snake is best Snake

This video doesn’t address one thing: Snake’s reputation in online matches. You see, all of what you say is great, but when you ask almost anyone about Snake’s gameplay, very few people feel like they’re playing against this adaptational saboteur. Instead, they feel like they’re playing against a Belmont, someone mindlessly throwing out projectiles and just winning by the unfair advantages those projectiles have. That grenade? Just spam it recklessly all over the place and the game is yours. Why is there this discrepancy?

Because a lot of fighting game players don't fight with accuracy to the character in mind, they're fighting to win the matches as quickly as possible, unfortunately. This is why people who play Goku in pretty much any fighting game he appears in don't actively sabotage their chances at victory for the sake of the thrill of the fight like Goku would very much do in canon, as the Cell Saga shows. Or why so many competitive fighting game players got angry at the fact they stayed true to Sanji's character and made it mechanically impossible for him to fight against a woman.
