===Strengths===
  +
  +
*Heavy weight grants him high survivability.
  +
*Strong camping and zoning game thanks to his many projectiles.
  +
*Down throw forces tech chases which, with a correct read, can lead to hard punishes and true combos into up tilt at 160% on all characters in the cast, giving Snake a consistently reliable kill confirm.
  +
*Fast tilts, dash attack, and jab give him lots of quick options for attack on the ground.
  +
*Powerful knockback overall, with lots of options for killing opponents.
  +
*Very low crouch height allows him to evade some attacks.
  +
*Capable of crawling.
  +
*Forward aerial can meteor smash.
  +
*Up smash is a projectile with great vertical range, having the most vertical range of any up smash in the game and is a good edge-guarding, camping, and zoning tool, and allows Snake to control platforms easily.
  +
*[[Hand Grenade|Hand Grenades]] are excellent tools for camping, stage control, and disruption; they allow Snake to easily trade with opponents, and due to his heavyweight status, he benefits greatly from these trades and they can also be picked up as items to be thrown in more versatile directions and angles, and opponents who pick up grenades can be disrupted by the explosion.
  +
*[[Remote Controlled Missile]] is an outstanding edge-guarding tool due to its fast speed, high maneuverability, and vast launching power.
  +
*[[Cypher]] up special grants Super Armor to Snake and does not put him in a helpless state after use.
  +
*[[C4]] can be placed on ledges and platforms to easily command space on the stage, and can be stuck onto opponents to pressure them greatly and even kill opponents and it can also be used to assist in recovery, granting Snake near infinite recovery ability.
  +
===Weaknesses===
  +
  +
*Aerials have considerable start-up and/or end lag, making them unreliable and poor for combos.
  +
*Tall height gives him a rather large hurtbox, making him susceptible to combos and juggling.
  +
*Average ground speed prevents him from keeping up with opponents.
  +
*Considerable start-up and/or end lag on most smash attacks.
  +
*Remote Missile leaves Snake open to attack if the opponent manages to get past the projectile and the projectile can be knocked off course if hit with an enemy attack.
  +
*C4 can hurt and even kill Snake if he detonates it while standing near it at high percentages.
  +
*Projectiles, including up smash, can be turned against Snake with reflectors.
