Changes: Cypher

Revision as of 15:07, 10 May 2009

Snake 070921l-l — Snake grabs onto the Cypher.

Cypher Is Snake's Up special move. He grabs onto the flying reconnaissance camera to recover. It will not make him helpless, but will take away his mid-air jump. One can cancel the ride early by performing any A attack, by pressing down, or by airdodging.

If used in combination with his C4, Snake can have nearly infinite recovery (at high percentages he should tech on a wall to prevent be Star KOed).

While using this move Snake has a special kind of knockback resistance, ignoring the knockback from any hitbox that deals exactly 7% or less.

If Snake is grabbed during this move, and is not thrown or hit, he cannot use this move again when he struggles free, unless he is hit after this happens.

The Cypher becomes an upward projectile after Snake lets go, preferably tapping down or midair dodging.

Origin

Cyphers were the automated flying security cameras that patrolled the bridges between the struts of the Big Shell in Metal Gear Solid 2. Though neither Snake nor Raiden ever used one to hitch a ride, this move is a good example of Snake's resourcefulness and wouldn't have been out of place in a Metal Gear game.

Trophy Description

An unmanned aerial surveillance vehicle used by the U.S. Army. It uses a fan in the center of its body to hover and a camera on its upper fuselage to monitor from the skies. It has a number of models, including the armed Gun Cypher and the remodeled Cypher II. Its small size and continuous flight ability make it extremely effective in guarding against intruders.

Trivia

Unlike other characters, Snake regains his Cypher if Mario uses his cape on Snake, even if in the same jump it's already used, he gets turned but can use it again.
The Cypher is a real-life UAV developed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. It's also featured in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.
