Super Smash Bros Ultimate All Snake Codecs Reaction

The reason why Snake doesn't like Sonic is because the grandfather of Snake's Japanese voice actor played as Dr. Eggman.

Snake:"Colonel there's a very attractive woman in a power suit" Colonel:"Snake stop calling it's three in the morning"

The way Otacon describes Kirby makes me realize how terrifying Kirby would be as the antagonist in a horror movie.

7:13 Ken and Bethany got the MGS2 vibe they were going for even though they've never played a Metal Gear Solid game, impressive!

7:27 By fair the best moment of Snake Codex right there 😂 as David Hayter yell is amazing and breathtakin

the idea of Snake just having access to information about rosalina being basically a space goddess or even kirby who nobody even knows what the hell he is, will always be funny to me

Snake has two (technically three reasons) he doesn't like Sonic Snake's Japanese voice actor is the grandson of a voice actor who played Eggman, so it runs in the family. Snake was originally the only 3rd-Party character in the game then Sonic came in and stole his spotlight. Sonic had never gotten along with the military on his world so it makes sense he would annoy Snake.

I still can't believe they had the actual VAs do all these

So the whole la li lu le lo thing is a reference to mind control in the Metal Gear Solid games. Which is why the Colonel was being so cruel to Luigi but its also a call back to Snake being the inferior twin to Liquid Snake. Also the reason why Snake knew Samus was a woman was by looking at her butt which is another call back to the first game lol(Metal Gear lore is both wild and crazy). Also just so you know he's not a Nintendo character he's a guest character from Konami. He's also just as old as the rest of the characters debuting in Metal Gear back in 1987. Yes Metal Gear 1 and 2 are the old games while the Solid series is newer coming out in 1998. I'd love to see you 2 react to more metal gear lore and stuff!

Sadly they didn't make any new codec calls for the characters that didn't appear in Brawl. I believe the theory as to why is because the Japanese voice actor of the colonel passed away. The ones we have are still absolutely awesome tho. RIP Takeshi Aono

The reason that it only includes the lines for Brawl characters is because Campel's Japanese Voice Actor died before Ultimate started in development. (Snake wasn't in Smash 4.) It's also why theres still references to stuff that doesnt exist in the games such as "Samus taking her clothes off," which was from using a Final Smash in Brawl to switch between characters.

Nice to see you got to these. In regards to the Luigi one. The Colonel going “La Li Lu Le Lo”, it’s a major spoiler for a big thing in Metal Gear. So unless you have a very big interest in the Metal Gear series, which are basically movies in video game form, that reference is just for Metal gear fans.

Codec calls really make me want to fire up some MGS game. One of my favorite things about MGS2 is during the Tanker scenario, if you call and save enough times, Mei Ling interrupts and gives a single proverb. It's also always been funny to me how Otacon tries to do the proverbs during that scenario but never does them right!

Gotta be a Metal Gear Solid fan to get the Luigi codec call joke. XD

So context/fun facts for the snake codecs, they were introduced in the 3rd smash game super smash bros brawl and in ultimate the newest game in which the video is in, they re used them from brawl with no changes or updates which is why you dont see newer characters not unlike how pit does a similar thing ultimate by chatting about the other characters, so that's why the characters kept saying brawl. Another fun fact is that if I remember correctly the snake va would've happily done new snake codecs but they didn't approach him for it.

for the weird Luigi call... the "La le lu li lo" sounds Colonel made was a reference a noise someone makes when under a type of mind control in metal gear. I think the implication is that the "Solider conditioning machines" in colonel's mind were glitching out somehow and he was being needlessly cruel. I'd explain deeper, but metal gear lore is insane, and that would require a whole video essay... (ideas for content?)

If you wanna know why the fighters from the later installments don't get a codec conversation, it's 'cause Snake wasn't in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. They didn't develop any of those for the newcomers when they were working on Ultimate. Plus, this is a Brawl stage, so... If there was a new Metal Gear Solid game, then MAYBE they would've made a new stage for Ultimate and added new codec conversations. Probably would've given Snake a new look, too.

I had no idea this was even a thing! This is wonderful, thanks for the introduction!

7:00 - perhaps snake was able to relate to Luigi considering he himself is a "second banana" to Big Boss, the greatest soldier of the 20th century. MGS changed gaming in almost every way

You guys should check out Smash Ultimate's updated version of Palutena's Guidance conversations, they're mostly the same as the Wii U version but they added some new ones if you guys are interested.
