Snake (SSBB): Difference between revisions

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 the 3rd place in the sixth tier list (July 2011), before falling further into the 5th place in the seventh tier list (April 2012) and eventually into the 6th place in the eighth and current tier list (April 2013). 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}}.
