===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|snake=yes}}
According to [[character matchup (SSBB)|the current SmashBoards matchup chart]], Snake's matchup spread has the seventh highest unweighted rank and the eighth highest weighted rank. Snake's matchups are overall very positive. He is only [[counter (matchup)|counter]]ed by {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, [[soft counter]]ed by {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Olimar}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, and has even matchups with seven characters. He soft counters twelve characters, counters seven characters, and [[hard counter]]s six characters. Snake's ability to camp and to have great stage control with his explosives are very effective, and along with his fast, powerful, and greatly ranged ground moves, helps him have favorable matchups against most of the cast. Being a super heavyweight and having fast [[falling speed]] acceleration, he tends to be a target to characters who can chain grab fast fallers well, such as Pikachu, who can repeatedly use its down throw and forward throw on him and can finish with a [[Thunderspike]], and King Dedede, who has an infinite chain throw on Snake with his down throw (however, the infinite without a wall requires a [[buffer]]ed [[pivot grab]] which is extremely difficult to [[technical skill|consistently perform]]). With his recovery being predictable, which makes him easy to edge guard, and his slow and sluggish air game, characters who have a great air game and who can gimp well, such as Meta Knight, have an advantage over him.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
At the very beginning of ''Brawl'', Snake was seen as a mid-tier character due to his slower speed and laggy attacks. However, with the quick discoveries of multiple techniques as well as his very high and disjointed power, Snake skyrocketed to being a top tier. Snake was ranked 2nd on the tier list shortly after ''Brawl'''s release, right below {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, although some believed that he was 1st instead; Snake was one of the most commonly used characters at tournaments, and it was not uncommon for the top-placing players to all use Snake. However, as Snake's vulnerability to [[juggling]] and [[gimp]]able recovery became exploited, and other characters' powerful abilities were discovered, Snake has fallen to 6th place. Despite this, he is still in the top tier and has been the second-most successful character in tournaments after Meta Knight, often allowing many players to believe he should be ranked higher, and above Marth.

Despite this, he is still in the top tier and has been the second-most successful character in tournaments after Meta Knight, often allowing many players to believe he should be ranked higher, and above {{SSBB|Marth}}.

Snake has stowed away somewhere on the [[Halberd]], hiding inside a [[cardboard box]]. When his time comes, Snake emerges from his box and begins to investigate, but when he sees {{SSBB|Lucario}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, he hides again inside his box. Lucario sees through the box by looking at his aura and pulls off Snake's disguise. Snake is surprised to see that he has been discovered (an exclamation point appears above his head along with the Metal Gear "Discovery" sound) and quickly assumes a fighting stance.

Meta Knight is glad to oblige, when Lucario senses security [[Primid]]s coming from the corridor behind him, so they end up forming a partnership with Snake. After battling their way through the Halberd, Snake and the others meet up with {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Peach}}. Some [[Shadow Bug]]s appear and create [[False character|false versions]] of the princesses, which the trio fights and defeats. The duo are then freed and Snake tells them to stay, but they went out against his order (Zelda turns into {{SSBB|Sheik}} to hide from him). Later, Snake, Lucario and Meta Knight find the bridge of the ship and are surprised to see a quintet of false {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}es controlling it. Snake and Lucario throw all of the Mr. Game & Watches out of the window and they all land on the front deck. The doppelgängers dissolve into Shadow Bugs and form into [[Duon]], whereupon Lucario, Snake, and {{SSBB|Falco}} join Fox, Sheik, and Peach to defeat it. Snake shows up with everyone else at the [[Entrance to Subspace]] and, like everyone else, he is turned into a trophy by [[Tabuu]]'s Off Waves. He can be revived by collecting his trophy by {{SSBB|Kirby}} in [[Subspace (Part II)]], making him eligible for the final battle against Tabuu.

Snake is one of the few characters in the entire SSE storyline to have dialogue. When he reveals himself, he [[wikipedia:Fourth_wall|states to the player]] "Kept you waiting, huh?". This is a reference to the fact that he was seen earlier in the storyline in his box during the epilogue of [[The Forest]].
