[[File:Snake_SSBUltimate.png|thumb|250px|Snake's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Solid Snake''' (whose real name is '''David''')  is the main character of [[Konami]]'s ''{{wp|Metal Gear}}'' series of games. He is one of the results of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project, a government project to create clones of the renowned soldier "Big Boss", and is constantly given the mission of deprogramming the various versions of the bipedal nuclear-armed tank called Metal Gear. Solid Snake has appeared in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, debuting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], ''Metal Gear'' series creator Hideo Kojima originally asked him to include Solid Snake in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but as the game was too far into development at that point, he could not be included and was instead added into the next game.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=2576 [E3<nowiki>]</nowiki> Interview: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Miyamoto, Sakurai]. N-Sider (May 11, 2006). Retrieved January 1, 2016.</ref> Like in the ''Metal Gear'' series at the time of release, Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version. Although he is identified as Solid Snake, his actual appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is technically a mixture between Solid Snake himself and his "father", Big Boss, or more accurately his Naked Snake self from ''Snake Eater''. He is one of only three characters in the series to come from an M-rated franchise, with the others being [[Bayonetta]] and [[Joker]].

=====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''=====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Charizard (SSB4)}}

Charizard returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. However, in both games, it is a standalone fighter, rather than being one of the [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Pokémon, due to the removing of in-battle transformation moves. As such, Rock Smash takes the place of Pokémon Change as its down special move, while its new side special move is [[#Flare Blitz|Flare Blitz]], which involves Charizard flying directly forward, covered in fire which also damages itself. Charizard's new Final Smash is [[#Mega Evolution|Mega Evolution]], which involves it Mega Evolving into its Mega Charizard X form<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20160428003856/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnxSKLtow Miiverse post about Charizard's Mega Evolution].</ref>. In addition, the glide and type effectiveness mechanics have also been removed.
