Respect the legendary Solid Snake! The man that makes the impossible possible. dur

Solid Snake
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ef/MGS1_Solid_Snake.jpg

Solid Snake is a combination spy and special operations agent who works for FOXHOUND, a fictional black ops and espionage unit. He is repeatedly entrusted with disarming and destroying the latest incarnation of the Metal Gear, a bipedal, nuclear-weapon-armed mecha.

In each game, Solid Snake must act alone, supported via radio by commanding officers and specialists. He enters armed only with his wits, his two-way radio (called the "codec" in later games), binoculars, and a pack of cigarettes, and must acquire all additional equipment (such as weapons, rations, or his signature cardboard box disguise) on site.

At first I thought Snake wasn't gonna be that strong.

But being able to take out Grey Fox, Liquid, and Hind D, he's a force to be reckoned with.

The man is a beast. On paper he has no super human abilities, but you can clearly see the paper is underestimating him. cool

Solid Snake is seen as a legendary soldier (Meryl is awestruck upon meeting him in MGS). His character, who was relatively fresh faced in the early Metal Gear games has become gradually gruffer and more disillusioned. He denies being a hero, stating that he has never fought for anyone but himself. However after the events of Shadow Moses, Snake becomes somewhat a national hero, much to the chagrin of The Patriots. The killing of his father Big Boss seems to have had little effect on him, other than to further distance from his superiors, possibly the reason for his retirement.

Snake is described as a 'living legend' and seems to be something of a myth to the world of mercenaries and even the public. However after Shadow Moses his existence was confirmed and he became a national hero. Something which was to become a disadvantage when he formed Philanthropy with his partner Otacon. His skills in urban warfare are unmatched, most likely a result of him being a clone of the greatest soldier ever known (Big Boss), who Snake actually defeated in battle (however Big Boss was in his 50's by that point and past his best, but still formidable).

Snake tries to distance himself from people "I have never been interested in other peoples' lives". He finds other people a burden, but still seems to fight for them on a regular basis, often rescuing the weak and helpless.

He actually looks very weak. That is the idea. He looks weak, but his mind was strong. He can read and control minds, he can cast illusions as you can see when he started to light the room on fire. He can evade bullets. Fire psionic blasts, he can turn himself invisible. He can lift numerous objects at the same time and use them as weapons or shields.

Solid Snake is merely a man that's true. But i think he is the limit of human perfection, i mean, so awesome ^-^

Yeah. Solid Snake is among the coolest, more complex characters with rich backstory and feats in gaming. He is one of my favorite characters ever.

For good reason, not only is he 100% badass, he hasn't been in a bad game, fights and kills enemies who should be way beyond him, and at the same time seems to have a thing going on with that woman.

Note how he puts his knee on Akiba's neck when he realizes he is outnumbered so that if they shot, and killed him, his body would crush Akiba.

4. Old Snake vs The Beast of Beasts Screaming Mantis



xKVvYpVpVPA

This is such a hard fight for Snake for a number of reasons:

1. Mantis can partially control his movements and none of Snake's guns can harm her.
2. He has to protect himself from Meryl who is being mind controlled by Mantis while he has to stop her from blasting her brains all over the place.
3. Mantis is using the FROG corpses previously killed like puppets against Snake.
4. Mantis has a wide arsenal of knives along many other unexpected tricks.

Screaming Mantis defeated...

Oh and Snake was doing all this shit in an aged body that had 6 months of life in it....go figure.

oh my cock!!!
this is the most uber thread on this section. good job SBP.

~Sado
P.S. will Solid really die after 2 months of the game?

Thanks, Sado-sama.

About Snake's death...yeah he will die, but at least he dies in peace and free from the patriots and most importantly war.

Oh and Big Boss and Solid Snake make peace with each other.

i know that. i saw that part of the ending.
"this is good, isn't it?"
saddest f--king thing but at least Big Boss came full circles to being a good guy again and made his peace with his life

~Sado

That all depends on your POV. Some say Big Boss was the bad guy, when all he wanted was to free the world from Zero and the Patriots' control. When B. Boss failed (twice), that duty fell on Ocelot and EVA's shoulders. Throughout the series, Solid Snake has been the Patriots' patsy in stopping Big Boss. Only this time, Snake unwittingly brings about the Patriots' demise.

I swear, seeing the MGS4 ending was the saddest thing since Aerith's death in FF7.

Oh, and walking - then crawling through a microwave-lined hallway deserves mad respect points...although Snake will have a bad sunburn afterwards.

IMO, Big Boss kinda went through the treatment Darth Vader went. he was your traditional badguy in the MG1 and MG2. come MGS3, we get to see his point of view, his view of things and why he decided to do what he did (seriously, having to pwn your own mother/mentor after 6 years separation only to have to kill her and then find out that it was sum bs ruse set up by your own people to get money would p!ss me off a lot too). then MGS portable orps comes and we see it even more (still havent' played that! f--king PSP!).
then MGS4 comes out and he makes his peace with one time nemesis and son, Solid, and also realizes where he went wrong. in the end, he dies knowing that despite his faults he still didn't die a bad man. its all like Darth Vader (even the son bit) who went from bad guy epitome to being a conflicted tragic hero-who-fell-but-redeemed-himself thing via the starwar prequels.

but meh, vader aint even equal to Big Boss' eyepatch.

The microwave scene was powerful. Solid Snake is the stuff of legends.

1. the strongest psionic in the mgsverse was the sorrow. this is proven when he destroyes the spirit of mantis in mgs4{ursula also comes close}

ok, now for some not so well known facts, when the power of mantis first surfaced, the ensuing psychic blast killed every1 in his town. he was the one who was telepathically controlling the ENTIRE genome army on shadow mosses {they werent there completely of their own free will} and when he died their brainwashing started to wear off, and got liquid worried. he is one of the strongest characters in the series. he can astral project, cast illusions, teleport, has telekenesis{although not shown to be compareable to ursula}, has precog, his eyes are sewed shut, and he only sees with his ESP. can bend light around himself telekenetically. etc etc etc.

strong contendor for the greatest fictional action hero ever.

hands down....but secondly only to Big Boss IMO. still Snake's the sh!t. a lot better than f@gs likle Cloud, Squal and Dante who fight demons and monsters but still look like they just came out from posing for gay magazines.

Hideo Kojima only slipped once when he made that f@g Raiden. otherwise he's always made soldiers who look like soldiers.

~Sado
P.S. does Solid have a girl?

All true except for that part about Raiden might have been a bit of a *** in his first appearance but in Mgs4 he is the third most badass character in video game history next to Big Boss and Solid Snake.

I think Snake had Meryl for awhile after shadow moses but left her cuz he is to badass to have just one woman.

actually i really like dante cloud and leon, lol.

you'se a f@g then

Great thread.

At the time Solid Snake fought Psycho Mantis he WAS the most powerful psionic since the Sorrow was long dead.

Funny because Raiden's faggotry had a purpose way back in MGS2. Kojima made him that way to attract female gamers and attempt to gather more fanbase from Japan who are used to these "Beautiful men" thing. Anyways what really pissed me off about Raiden was having to listen to Rose's whinning, but anyways.

Meh.

Meh.

so true why did Rose have to exist

Rose's existence was to give proof of just how powerful the Patriots were at manipulating human actions and reactions. The Patriots had Rose get the hairstyle, hair color, nails, skin, eyes and even personality that would make Jack(Raiden) instantly fall in love with her. Then they used her to continue manipulating him. But then Rose actually fell in love with Jack and wanted him to open up to her. She could sense Jack was never close to her, the way she wanted him to, but everytime she tried to get close to him he backed away, left and came back drunk.

Kind of weird, I know, but she does serve MGS2's storyline quite well.

I like her a whole lot more in MGS4.

^erm, that wasnt rose. that was GW's fake personality created out of raiden's own subconcious image of rose. he doesnt meet rose until the after killing solidus in mgs2. GOD, were u sleaping or what?!

My bad. I wasn't sleeping or anything. In case you didn't know the game came out in 2001(if I'm not mistaken) and I haven't played it ever since, so don't expect me to have photographic memory. A man can make mistakes.

But then again if that persona GW was posing as was based on Raiden's thoughts wouldn't that mean Rose was the same? Maybe and maybe not since this is just Jack's POV. Anyways if you feel the need to discuss this lets do so in the off topic thread. lets not derail this respect thread.

Respect the ultimate solider Solid Snake who makes the impossible possible. A man who doesn't need any thing to complete a mission other then a pack of smokes. Respect the first badass in video game history

no rose wasnt the same at all, it was jack's insecurities which blamed her for an affair she didnt have and for working with the patriots to get to jack. these insecutires were noticed and taken advantage of by GW, who wanted to turn raiden into a simulated solid snake and see how much control over the human psyche it cud pose.
