Solid Snake

Snake is a soldier and spy, who appears in the Metal Gear Solid games created by Hideo Kojima. In the games, he is constantly given the job of deprogramming the dangerous weapon, called Metal Gear. His main choice of weapon is heavy firearms from the Real World.

He is one of the first (of possibly more) third-party characters to appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

Snake's appearance in the trailer was a surprise to fans primarily because third-party characters (those not belonging to Nintendo or any of its second party affiliates) had never been present in the series thus far and because most of the Metal Gear Solid games are rated "M". He appears in Brawl as he did in Metal Gear Solid 2. Snake's moves were not showcased in the trailer, but Brawl ' s game developer Masahiro Sakurai has stated on his site that Snake will fight hand-to-hand and use a variety of explosives, rather than rely on firearms. His home stage is the Shadow Moses Island. Snake will be voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the japanese version, and by David Hayter in the english version.

Snake's emblem in the Super Smash Bros. Series is that of the FOXHOUND organization from Metal Gear series.

Trivia

 * In Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1 for the Nintendo GameCube, figurines of Mario and Yoshi can be found in Otacon's office. Shooting Mario will not only generate the original 1-UP sound, but restore the player's life. Shooting Yoshi only lets out his "Yoshi" signature.
