Snake's Counter Picks

You can drop a C-4 in mid-air and immediately detonate it to propel yourself upwards and get your Cypher Up-B back. Use it when really low offstage to recover (almost) infinitely!

Grenades explode instantly when an opponents attack hits it. Use it to your advantage when getting juggled!

At 160% Down throw an enemy and immediately do uptilt. It's a kill confirm on the whole cast.

Snake's C-4 can be hard to keep track of, so it has less of a psychological effect than Link's Remote Bomb. The element of surprise is greater, though.
