Although Snake uses a large amount of explosive firepower, he has no traditional firearms, such as handguns and rifles, despite regularly making use of them in the ''Metal Gear'' games themselves. This is presumably due to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''{{'}}s emphasis on being friendly to almost all age groups, and thus the use of common guns would possibly raise the rating of the game. As is, many of Snake's current moves do have a real world counterpart, such as traditional [[Hand Grenade]]s and the R.P.G. However, these are treated in a bit more of a comical and lighthearted fashion. Snake's character brings a high amount of Easter eggs and homages to his game series with him, from saying "Tasty" when eating food akin to ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'', to his down throw, resembling the sleeper/neck breaker hold featured in all the ''Metal Gear Solid'' games to date, among other things. His rather unorthodox stealth tactic of hiding within a [[cardboard box]] also makes an appearance as Snake's taunt. Like {{SSBB|Luigi}}'s "kick" taunt, the cardboard box can deal damage. All of his taunts make Snake wear the cardboard box, but he uses a different way of putting it on for each of his three taunts. Snake can also call one of his affiliates via the Codec, much like in the ''Metal Gear'' games, as [[Snake's Smash Taunt|a secret taunt]], only possible on the [[Shadow Moses Island]] stage. Each character, including Snake himself (if two or more players are using him), has a distinct conversation and the original voice actors for Solid Snake, [[Colonel Roy Campbell]], [[Otacon|Hal "Otacon" Emmerich]], and [[Mei Ling]] reprise their roles. There's even one instance of [[Slippy|Slippy Toad]] appearing within the Codec while talking about {{SSBB|Falco}}.

Because of his unique gameplay and overwhelming tournament dominance, Snake currently ranks 6th on the official tier list. This is often disputed due to his very successful results in tournaments as many argue that he is among the best characters in the game. His ''Smash'' appearance has also garnered criticism from casual and professional Smashers, as he has been dubbed one of the two most overpowered characters in the game (again, along with [[Meta Knight]]) mainly due to his fast, disjointed and powerful attacks which possess hitboxes that extend much further than the actual animation. Snake is also known as the ''Brawl'' equivalent of {{SSBM|Fox}}'s Melee incarnation, as he is known to have one of the highest learning curves due to his highly sophisticated playstyle and the fact that players must be aware of aspects such as knowing the right place to lay his explosives and making sure that he does not harm himself and, in the worst case scenario, [[self-destruct]] in the process.
