The newly revealed Snake has got a large arsenal of devices he can use on the battlefield. His Side Special Move is called Remote Missile. Snake will take out his rocket launcher and fire a guided missile. Guided by what? Guided by YOU! Once fired, you take complete control of where the missile goes with the control stick, rendering Snake defenseless during your missile command. If you find your self in danger, simply use the shield button to cancel controlling the missile.
Snake’s Standard Special Move is the Hand Grenade. The grenade is pulled out and its pin removed when you press the special attack button, so you’ll only have a few seconds to get rid of it. Press the special attack button again to throw the grenade. Tilting the control stick forward will result in a strong throw, not tilting the control stick at all will result in a medium throw, and tilting backward will result in a soft throw. Be alert after you release – it might get knocked back at you!
Snake uses his reconnaissance camera as his Up Special Move. Called Cypher, it will shoot Snake up into the air, and he’ll float down as you guide him around. Use Cypher as your special recovery move.
We’ve got a couple other special attacks that haven’t officially been detailed yet. There’s only one other direction left on the control stick though… we might need some other kind of control…
