I'm a huge Metal Gear fan. So it literally blows my mind that Snake, who was created among a set of clones that were not designed equally, has an uneven matchup against copies of himself in this game 🤯
fun fact: they used so many explosives in his moveset because they ABSOLUTELY wanted to avoid giving him a gun. Joker in Ult is the only character that has a "real" gun(but even that is technically not a real gun for P5 lore reasons lol)
@@Brawlternative I always used to wonder as a kid why a character from a stealth game relied on so many explosions. That makes a lot of sense now that I see it haha
@@Brawlternative I find it so silly that they were so determined to do that that they forgot that they could probably at least give him a knife. It’s just a blade after all
Snake's moveset became one of my favorites once someone pointed out to me that he plays like how he fights a boss in the Metal Gear series and not while he's sneaking around. His entrance animation has him take off his camouflage and reveal his location to the opponent(s), forcing them into a fight, and Snake does so by laying traps across the battlefield and using powerful explosive weaponry to deal big damage.
I remember that. It was Cross Slash, wasn’t it. Funny thing, aren’t Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII the games that sold the PlayStation? Kinda crazy that it’s Solid Snake and Cloud Strife that have these things.

Some regions and smaller tournaments have the rule before a match for older smash games where the winner of RPS gets to ban the first stage and the loser gets port priority, so the mental image of Brawl Bowser players trying to lose at rock paper scissors on purpose because they don’t care about stage striking but want port priority is the funniest shit in the world

I love how Brawl is finally getting the attention and love it deserves! Because of its portrayal in the 2013 Smash Documentary, people have just written it off as some super slow, one-note experience where meta-knight is the only usable character. There is so much more to this game, and thank you for showing that off to the entire smash community!
eh....as someone who has never heard of the 2013 Smash Documentary --- as far as I know, the Brawl years were rough for smash bros as a whole (Nintendo didn't support, actively opposed the competitive scene) and Brawl had Meta Knight and random tripping. And to be fair, I've heard even LESS about Wii U smash. Because no one (not even me, a casual player who played Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate to 95% completion) bought a Wii U. Always happy to hear people talk about Smash Bros though
@@tomc.5704 the competitive scene in Smash 4 was far healthier than Brawl however. Not to mention, many of Smash 4's top players moved to Ultimate on release and basically completely replaced 4 with Ultimate, which killed it hard. People often forget that Smash 4 was quite literally a console seller for the Wii U of all things on its release. The only other game even close to that in terms of selling consoles was Mario Kart 8!
From a casual perspective, brawl is the best smash game and certainly was a fan favorite as a kid. No other smash game has the sheer aura of that game. Plus the wii was super popular and made it even more accessible
@@Genasidal Smash 4's main issue in the competitive scene was DLC. Cloud was super strong and dominant, but was tolerable (similar to current Ultimate DLC complaints). However, when Bayo was released, the scene kinda died. She basically killed the game on her own, and Ultimate was a welcome reset for both players and spectators. And Ultimate and Smash 4 are very similar overall (moreso than probably any other 2 smash games) so a quick transition was pretty natural, with no reason to really go back.
@@sharqking very true and even more credence to what I mentioned before of people abandoning ship. Unfortunately, because of its inferiority and similarity to ultimate, ultimate just became a direct upgrade, invalidating it for the most part. Unlike previous smash games that all had their own unique niches, regardless of what game a player preferred, that made the competitive scene forever popular. Just look at melee! And smash (64) even still has a relatively healthy competitive scene! Not to mention big mod projects, like the Project M series of mods and for 64 recently Smash Remix have forever kept these games even MORE alive than ever!
It’s so interesting to hear about a fighting game meta that is so underdocumented but is also so weird and interesting. Compared to games that I usually play these days it’s like a breath of fresh air.

Stumbeling upon this chanel was honestly one of the best things. I love Brawl even if it has its flaws and your videos are absolutely incredible Brawlternative! Keep it up!
Frame one click, loving this channel! Your style is super good, editing is nice, and it feels like a channel with way way more videos than you do, love it!
and here i thought this was just going to be a video where you say "oh snake has a fantastic advantage state against himself so whoever gets the hit first it's 60:40." Then i remembered that port priority existed and it all made sense.
unbelievable that this title is not clickbait. 60/40 is truly an abyssmal matchup. I had no idea about brawl specific nonsense, but knowing this now somehow makes me feel powerful. This channel is incredible. Subbed.
I think it's probably closer to 52/48 or 53/47. There are so many good defensive options Snake has that if you need to put yourself in that position, you've done something wrong.
Absolutely can see that. 60:40 is definitely a little more "clickable" than "55:45" for the video but part of me genuinely believes that it might be able to be exploited a little further than what we've seen in the past. Hopefully with this new wave of Brawl we get more data! Thanks for contributing, I love discussion comments like this

That Faux Super Armor, as you call it, also applies when you grab someone doing a ground attack directly. Try grabbing the Falcon Punch the first frame it comes out and you will find your knockback is void while you take full damage.
I didn't know about Faux Super Armor, that's insane! It's funny how one thing can completely change a MU, wasn't expecting to witness an uneven ditto. Btw, amazing content so far, I love the editing on these, and how well you explained and showed the mechanics!
3:11 I won’t fall for your sneaky tricks, RUclipsr. I was *already* subscribed you *f o o l* But really, this brawl content only ever makes my day. There’s just so many technical bits, and the way you present the execution of these concepts is just immaculate, I don’t know how else to put it. I’m so happy I saw the Matchup video like day 1 so I get to learn more about my favorite childhood game!
@@Brawlternative Nahhh honestly I was flattered,it meant my comment left an impression! Keep it up,I gotta see more of old man Coney reminiscing about the past as he takes a gamble looking up Smashboards posts!
It’s caused by different issues, but the idea of a skewed matchup in a mirror is the case in a some traditional fighters too, especially older ones. Heck, Mortal Kombat 1 launched with a bug that made it so entire combos didn’t work when performed by P2 (not P2 side… just p2)
@@BrawlternativeI assume you’re talking about sidestepping out of full crouch, in which case, it is extremely minor. The only characters that are really affected by it are characters that rely on force crouch moves like Mishimas. And to prove how minor it is, most Mishima players pick the worse side. The main reason side selection is important enough in Tekken to get a coin flip or rps is because most people just don’t practice p2 side at all (sidestep directions are flipped on p2 side and KBD is much harder). A better example of port priority in a more traditional fighting game would be MK9 which made p1 automatically win all trades, or Third Strike where cross-ups sometimes just don’t work depending on what side you’re on (most famous example being the Ken mirror where P1 Ken gets an ambiguous cross-up after his super and P2 Ken just doesn’t).
Yep, this is good content. What quality editing! And what fascinating content. Plus the music choices are great. Keep it up, man!! This is excellent shit!
This type of stuff shows up in so many fighting games, it’s stupidly funny. In Tekken, if you are crouching, you are not able to side step into the background, so if a character has a move that forces crouch, their moves are better at tracking after hitting that move depending on which side of the screen they are on
In the melee sheik ditto people do RPS for port priority because of the chain grab (the port closer to 4 gets 1 bonus advantage frame after the grab) and I thought that was bad but this is on a whole different level
I don't play Smash competitively (or much at all, not having a Nintendo) but I love learning about speed running, competitive scenes, etc as an outsider. Your videos have a great flow of information that's easy for a layman to pick up and understand the lingo and mechanics and your production quality and editing are top notch. You're going to reach a lot of people.
So it's basically like Cloud's mirror, where the side B is written the same way regardless of orientation due to being a Kanji, favoring the left Cloud slightly; good thing starting position are randomized and is a 51:49 in practice.
I'm not even sure it makes a percentage of difference. Players will likely swap sides many times thoughout the course of a game, so if you need the bigger hitbox you can just take the other side of the stage and there you go.
@webbowser8834 Or play more grounded if on the right. Is uneven but only by definition, and the difference rarely comes out, but it exists, favours left cloud and therefore is not a true 50:50.
Parasite Eve OST is banging. But the music definitely doesn't fit this channel, so I wanted a way to sneak a song in. The big contrast to the super high-energy Part 4 song was the perfect opportunity
Ya know, I did some content creation for the Brawl competitive community for a little while, and I wanted to make a RUclips channel like this, if I had the time. So I'm really happy to see someone do it. I love how mechanically deep this game is, but everyone wrote it off too quickly to realize. I hope you keep at this, because it is fantastic.
I mentioned it in a different comment but the VALORANT song was a complete accident, had it in there as placeholder but the jump happened right as Faux Super Armor came on screen and I thought "oh, oh that's so sick actually" lol
I genuinely love your content so far. I’ve always been a fan of melee content (even though I’ve never played it) and since there is a severe lack of brawl content I feel like I’m finally being filled in on something I’ve been missing.

The Snake in the second controller port may be weaker, but they're also immune to the psychic powers of psycho mantis, much to consider...
Psycho Mantis is banned though
If by "second controller port" you mean port 1 vs port 2, then you have it backwards. In that situation port 2 would get the faux super armor
This is some "left cloud beats right cloud" type shit
I remember that. It was Cross Slash, wasn’t it.
Funny thing, aren’t Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII the games that sold the PlayStation? Kinda crazy that it’s Solid Snake and Cloud Strife that have these things.
Now we gotta figure out if Port 1 Snake beats Left Cloud 😂
If ultimate didn't randomize starting positions every match, port 1 cloud would beat port 2 cloud.
But 10 times more relevant, while Cloud is a 51 to 49 matchup, Brawl is a genuine 60 to 40.

I didn't know about Faux Super Armor, that's insane! It's funny how one thing can completely change a MU, wasn't expecting to witness an uneven ditto.
Btw, amazing content so far, I love the editing on these, and how well you explained and showed the mechanics!
3:11 I won’t fall for your sneaky tricks, RUclipsr. I was *already* subscribed you *f o o l*
But really, this brawl content only ever makes my day. There’s just so many technical bits, and the way you present the execution of these concepts is just immaculate, I don’t know how else to put it. I’m so happy I saw the Matchup video like day 1 so I get to learn more about my favorite childhood game!
How is this man making so many quality videos so fast?! And about Snake too?! I have no choice but to kneel.
Thanks for sticking around even after I used your comment on my last video for twitter engagement LOLL
@@Brawlternative Nahhh honestly I was flattered,it meant my comment left an impression!
Keep it up,I gotta see more of old man Coney reminiscing about the past as he takes a gamble looking up Smashboards posts!
Dude, this is the highest quality smash content since asumsauce, and I’d never thought I’d see it come from brawl! Keep it up!
This channel came out of nowhere and has been consistently pumping out high quality content 😊
The editing in this is so good
I told this title to my friend and he asked "yo when did leffen start playing brawl?"
I love your vids bro!!! Youre doing what very few ppl dared to do and i respect the hell out of that, keep going!!
It’s caused by different issues, but the idea of a skewed matchup in a mirror is the case in a some traditional fighters too, especially older ones. Heck, Mortal Kombat 1 launched with a bug that made it so entire combos didn’t work when performed by P2 (not P2 side… just p2)
Yeah!!!! I learned that the 3D field in Tekken causes uneven mirror matches too. Super cool stuff to look into
@@BrawlternativeI assume you’re talking about sidestepping out of full crouch, in which case, it is extremely minor. The only characters that are really affected by it are characters that rely on force crouch moves like Mishimas. And to prove how minor it is, most Mishima players pick the worse side. The main reason side selection is important enough in Tekken to get a coin flip or rps is because most people just don’t practice p2 side at all (sidestep directions are flipped on p2 side and KBD is much harder). A better example of port priority in a more traditional fighting game would be MK9 which made p1 automatically win all trades, or Third Strike where cross-ups sometimes just don’t work depending on what side you’re on (most famous example being the Ken mirror where P1 Ken gets an ambiguous cross-up after his super and P2 Ken just doesn’t).
Yep, this is good content. What quality editing! And what fascinating content. Plus the music choices are great. Keep it up, man!! This is excellent shit!
STOP POSTING SO MUCH HEAT SO OFTEN I CANT TAKE ITTTT😭😭😭❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Unrelated but your CS video had me ROLLING the way you kept cutting back to the legs shuffle bit LOLL
@@Brawlternative thank you so much!!! :'))
This type of stuff shows up in so many fighting games, it’s stupidly funny. In Tekken, if you are crouching, you are not able to side step into the background, so if a character has a move that forces crouch, their moves are better at tracking after hitting that move depending on which side of the screen they are on
Missed opportunity to call Part 4 Twin Snakes
DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE NOOOO IT WAS RIGHT THERE TOOO
Yet another banger. I love your content. Thank you for keeping Brawl alive
I read the title and I instantly tought 'Port Order Priority? How does that affect Snake disproprotional?'
I Love the fact that you’re talking primarily about brawl because it was my first and favorite smash game off all time!
My brawl disc just stopped reading, but that won’t stop me from watching
try emulator / netplay :) Brawl has a tendency to ruin the Wii's disc reading laser - I've gone through a handful, lol.
The dual layer disc that Brawl uses tends to stop reading faster than other discs, either through the disc's damage or through the laser wearing out
GREAT video the pacing and editing was amazing, loving it! don't feel bad if you have to slow down too, don't want to burn yourself out!
NO THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE!
was never around in the community for brawls hype and fall off, this channel is amazing love the love for underrated games
In the melee sheik ditto people do RPS for port priority because of the chain grab (the port closer to 4 gets 1 bonus advantage frame after the grab) and I thought that was bad but this is on a whole different level
I don't play Smash competitively (or much at all, not having a Nintendo) but I love learning about speed running, competitive scenes, etc as an outsider. Your videos have a great flow of information that's easy for a layman to pick up and understand the lingo and mechanics and your production quality and editing are top notch. You're going to reach a lot of people.
Guys, stop fighting! New Brawlternative.
I think that this is the only mu that I can think of in any game whatsoever, good video!
So it's basically like Cloud's mirror, where the side B is written the same way regardless of orientation due to being a Kanji, favoring the left Cloud slightly; good thing starting position are randomized and is a 51:49 in practice.
I'm not even sure it makes a percentage of difference. Players will likely swap sides many times thoughout the course of a game, so if you need the bigger hitbox you can just take the other side of the stage and there you go.
@webbowser8834 Or play more grounded if on the right. Is uneven but only by definition, and the difference rarely comes out, but it exists, favours left cloud and therefore is not a true 50:50.
Enjoying the content even though I never had that much interest in brawl!
I especially appreciate the P.E. music at the end.
Parasite Eve OST is banging. But the music definitely doesn't fit this channel, so I wanted a way to sneak a song in. The big contrast to the super high-energy Part 4 song was the perfect opportunity
bridget mirror in strive is slightly favored towards one side of bridget due to a mixup she can only do while facing the right wall
I also learned that some Tekken mirror matches are uneven because of the 3rd dimension, which is cool
Yay more brawl history, i love this channel
0:14 Snake ditto as in player 2, because Ditto is literally in this game and that’s makes the statement a bit confusing
buddy I’m sure you’re the only one who doesn’t know when the word “ditto” is used as a term
4:18 that escalation transition was wild
Ya know, I did some content creation for the Brawl competitive community for a little while, and I wanted to make a RUclips channel like this, if I had the time. So I'm really happy to see someone do it. I love how mechanically deep this game is, but everyone wrote it off too quickly to realize. I hope you keep at this, because it is fantastic.
same, but I just post replays instead :( I don't have editing skills.
Didn't expect to hear Parasite Eve music in the wild. Good shit, subbed
port priority my beloved
Rather have quality than quantitiy, and I am loving this quality :) Great stuff, try not to be overworked!
So you're saying... One of the Snakes is 'dominant' and the other is 'recessive', making one better than the other?
im so glad you're gaining traction, love that brawl is getting some love too ❤
2:56 holy fucking shit is that jumbo josh
Damn those editing music choices were pretty damn good. Nice job!
I mentioned it in a different comment but the VALORANT song was a complete accident, had it in there as placeholder but the jump happened right as Faux Super Armor came on screen and I thought "oh, oh that's so sick actually" lol
Loving the jumbo josh content! When are we seeing the "Banbanternative" spin off channel?
didn't expect so many people to recognize him with his accidental cameo in the last video so I put him in this one too LMFAO
As a Melee player who never got into Brawl, I've LOVED these videos. Fantastic work!
1:27 why hasn’t ausm sauce updated in a while
he's busy being significantly cooler than we are
I genuinely love your content so far. I’ve always been a fan of melee content (even though I’ve never played it) and since there is a severe lack of brawl content I feel like I’m finally being filled in on something I’ve been missing.
This is an utterly cursed fact and I love it. Brawl is the fighting game ever.
That 3 second subscribe ad was so respectful of my time, I subscribed without even knowing what else is on this channel.
WAKE UP BABE BRAWLTERNATIVE DROPPED
