Talk:Solid Snake

I'm not sure, but isn't the organization called FOXHOUND and not FOX?
 * No, you're right… how didn't I catch that? I love the Metal Gear series on the PS2 (when I'm not flaming the PS2…) [[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] Para Yoshi Wahoo![[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] 11:27, 21 January 2007 (EST)

Solid Snake or Snake?
The official site calls him Snake, other sources call him Solid Snake. Which one should we go with?
 * I think this problem has come up before, use the most official info from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, not info taken from the original series...
 * A reason more to move Princess Zelda to Zelda, but noone listened to me back then. - 09:45, 23 September 2007 (EDT)
 * That's a...good point, Cobold. The official site, as well as Super Smash Bros. Melee, calls her Zelda, Legend of Zelda calls her Princess Zelda. We take our information from the Super Smash Bros. series, not the Legend of Zelda. I AGREE, MOVE THAT PAGE TO ZELDA, NOT PRINCESS ZELDA!!

Kind of redundant imo. I mean, the "Colonel" gets an article "Colonel Roy Campbell" when his name isn't even mentioned either. The same goes Sonic and his crew, except their "the (whatever animal they are)" aren't mentioned in the game (at least not yet). But that's just me. Magiciandude 22:11, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Concerning the recent move, "Snake" is not only his Dojo name, but also his name as on the character selection screen, and the name he is called by his team members. - 06:53, 9 February 2008 (EST)
 * Should we start a proposal or is this enough support? 21:01, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Metal Gear... Solid?
You know, Snake's first game was simply called "Metal Gear". It wasn't called "Metal Gear Solid" until much later. Let's just leave the "Metal Gear" names be, okay Pokemon DP? - Smashgoom202 09:04, 26 September 2007 (EDT)
 * That has been discussed, and the name given to it by the Dojo is "Metal Gear Solid" series, so here we go. - 12:51, 26 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Very well then. - Smashgoom202 08:27, 27 September 2007 (EDT)

Quote
I think we should go for a quote which describes Snake's character, like the one where he wants to eat Yoshi. - 05:36, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
 * How does that describe his character, exactly?
 * He's cruel? Unscrupulous? - 05:53, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
 * But, he never actually mentions Yoshi in that quote. How would people know who he is talking about if they saw that quote?

Possibly? - 06:18, 3 October 2007 (EDT) Sound better.

Otocon, Mel/Mei Ling and Colonel
Should we make articles for them? They will appear in the game during conversations much like Slippy Toad and the other Star Fox freaks. Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!
 * The FOXHOUND page covers all three of them. I don't know whether this is the best solution... - 12:22, 6 October 2007 (EDT)

Ok then. VOTE TIME! Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!

Seperate Page for the FOXHOUND characters

 * 1) http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! If we have pages for Slippy Toad and Tingle then I don't know why we shouldn't for these three guys. If we keep the page as FOXHOUND then lets delete Slippy Toad's page, and that bunny's page and let's mrge it with a Star Fox page. But I know you won't want that.
 * 2) - per Jorge.
 * 3) Per Jorge and Cobold--Caith Sith 13:30, 6 October 2007 (EDT)
 * 4)  Per Jorge.
 * 5) As Jorge says.
 * 6) Per Paper Jorge, the one who gives Paper cuts.
 * 7) Make articles for them. They appeared in a game, not as a character that was never seen. FOXHOUND is just a article that covers three characters. We don't have any other ones like that if I'm correct. Btw, per PJ

Keep it as FOXHOUND

 * 1) All they do is give Snake hints. Tingle, Slippy Toad and Peppy Hare effect gameplay in Super Smash Bros. Melee, these three don't do anything but tell Snake stuff.

Comments
Hmm...seems like we should create the pages for Otocon, Mel/Mei Ling and Colonel. Anyone up for the job? Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!
 * Somebody read my coment. There is a differance between these 3 and the other character articles like Peppy Hare and Tingle.
 * Well, no one seems to be listening to my comments at the moment. I'll bring up another good point. FOXHOUND ONLY make contact with Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They do NOT make contact with any of the other characters, thus, do NOT effect gameplay. All they do is tell Snake a few things, that is all. And, also, Cobold, how can you say to make articles on these three when they only tell Snake stuff on Shadow Moses Island ONLY, and then say NOT to make an article on the Doubled-Barreled Battery, which also appears on ONLY one stage, BUT, actually effects gameplay, and makes contact with ALL players? Hello?
 * Calling all of them "Foxhound" isn't an official name. - 10:18, 10 October 2007 (EDT)
 * You mean FOXHOUND? If that's so, shouldn't the FOXHOUND article be deleted?
 * Pokemon DP, Sakurai didn't say FOXHOUND won't effect gameplay. They could do more than give Snake hints. --Trogga 11:46, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
 * He never said they did effect gameplay, now, did he? If the FOXHOUND article got split into Otacon, Mei Ling, and Colonel Roy Campbell, then the FOXHOUND article should now be deleted. We don't have an article on Team Star Fox, but we have an article on Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad.

Cardboard Box
I think an article on the Cardboard Box is necessary. After all, all three of Snake's Taunt's circle around the Box, it has a role in The Subspace Emissary, and it appears to have some sort of item use, as seen in the "Snake joins the Brawl!" trailer. I mean, we have an article on FOXHOUND and Condor, what's stopping us from making this article?

You're right. But, the box is not used as an item. Once Snake takes it off, if it hits a player while it is falling, they will take damgage. However, as soon as it hits the ground, it will dissipate. Other players can lift up the box, too, though.
 * Hold up -- you just said that players can lift up the box? If something can be held in a player's hand, it's an item by definition.  Remember Peach's vegetables?  22:00, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
 * No, the player just picks it off, and throws it away. It dissaparates as soon as it hits the ground. The Player can't hold it in his hand for extended periods. its instant.

Best article! Its been made, and made good! :D

Codec Conversations
How do you do one? I've heard its a secret taunt, but how do you activate it? I know you have to go to Shadow Moses Island with Snake, but then what?

Melee Trivia
Was it true that the game developers wanted Snake to appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee, however they were too late in developing the game at the time to program him in? User:McAusten! · talk to me · my edits 18:28, 13 December 2011 (EST)
 * No. Sorry to be rude, but are you gonna edit or just ask questions?

Sonic Codec
Actually I remember the line about Snake not liking Sonic being a reference to Hideo Kajima himself not liking Sonic, not because of snakes being predators for hedgehogs.
