Super Smash Bros. Brawl's secret Snake codec taunt

An interesting Super Smash Bros. Brawl secret involving Solid Snake's famous codec can be found after the break.

IGN has posted a video of Solid Snake's secret taunt involving the classic Metal Gear Solid codec. To access the special taunts, players have to head to Shadow Moses Island and play as Snake. By quickly tapping down on the d-pad, players will get a radio transmission from a classic MGS character and a little dialogue on Snake's current opponent. IGN states it will upload a video of Snake's special codec conversations for 10 characters each day (or you can watch them all now) for those who don't want to experience it themselves.

[Thanks Fernando]

Good match today:) I still need more brawl friends though, if you add me let me know!

Fernando, I love your "Joystiq rules!" taunt, haha. I think you're more of a Joystiq fanboy than anything else. :P

Curtis the Claw: Brawl Code 1075-0441-3284: Mar 13th 2008; 4:11PM

This makes me want to get Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PlayStation 3!

Lemmiwinks (SSBBFC: 0903-2436-0891): Mar 14th 2008; 12:27PM

...you and that damn Pit...

I feel like such a geezer when I play against the Joystiqqers.

NickDynmo: Mar 13th 2008; 3:35PM

I saw this on YouTube last week :/

rTwelve [xbl:Chilblane]: Mar 13th 2008; 3:58PM

Aye, bdcool187 has them. Way to fail, IGN.

Spoit: Mar 13th 2008; 4:00PM

Not even last week, the official brawl site first talked about them all the way back in october of last year

karn: Mar 13th 2008; 3:38PM

Hi there.

cjshrader: Mar 13th 2008; 4:13PM

What ever happened to you after you sealed that Tolarian rift?

karn: Mar 13th 2008; 4:42PM

Oh you know just chillin'. Closing time rifts ain't exactly easy.

NightSoD: Mar 13th 2008; 6:21PM

was that a MTG reference? wow i miss that game...

karn: Mar 13th 2008; 8:00PM

"MTG reference"? This is my life!

Zertoss: Mar 13th 2008; 3:42PM

SPOILERS: Snake hates Sonic for no reason.

Fernando Rocker: Mar 13th 2008; 3:50PM

Theres gotta be a reason.

"Nope... Just don't like him"

=p

Martez: Mar 13th 2008; 3:56PM

Hedgehogs eat snakes.

Zertoss: Mar 13th 2008; 4:19PM

Huh, I thought hedgehogs were mainly insectivores. I didn't know they ate snakes. Learn something new every day.

Saria the Cat: Mar 13th 2008; 7:12PM

@ Martez: Kirby eats everything. ;)

Platy: Mar 13th 2008; 10:37PM

Snake was suposed to be the first, only and main third party character

With sonic's inclusion he became the less loved and people claimed for more ...

So... he is jealous xD

CB: Mar 13th 2008; 3:45PM

That's pretty awesome. I wonder how many more secrets there are?

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Mar 13th 2008; 3:47PM

cool. i havent even unlocked Snake yet. ive been playing with my friends so much that i havent had time to play much of the Subspace Emissary.

Curtis the Claw: Brawl Code 1075-0441-3284: Mar 13th 2008; 3:52PM

All you have to do is play 15 matches on Shadow Moses.

GumbyX84: Mar 13th 2008; 3:55PM

Just play on the MGS stage (Shadow Moses Island) 30 times and you will unlock him. I did it by playing against the computer there while practicing with Pit. The AI in practice mode sucks compared to that in the "main" game.

Fernando Rocker: Mar 13th 2008; 3:56PM

Theres an easy way... go to Group, then go to Special Brawl. Then, set the game to Stamina and set the characters with Fire. Then in the character selection, set the CPU Stamina to 1HP... you will win the match in 1 second...

After you defeat it, just prest start fast to skip everything, and start fighint again in about 8 secons.

You can unlock almost every character this way, i you don't want to play SSE.

Zertoss: Mar 13th 2008; 4:24PM

That's cheating Fernando. :P

Mr Khan: Mar 13th 2008; 5:23PM

Wow, that's even worse than the way i got Mewtwo. Two Kirbys (one so that i could fight mewtwo with him, one so that my favorite character's vs record didn't go to hell for all the self-destructs, it balanced out with 700 wins and 700 losses) 1 stock, and 700 self-destructs

Sora267: Mar 13th 2008; 5:46PM

Lol, now I feel even cheaper. I just plugged in two GC controllers and left my console on overnight (10 hours), and I had Mewtwo. >_>

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Mar 13th 2008; 7:05PM

i hadnt looked up how to unlock people yet honestly. i think we played Shadow Moses like 5 or 6 times already but i can go knock the rest of the plays out like Fernando said before the crew comes over again.

i was just gonna get everybody though SSE though but my friend had been asking about Snake being the MGS fan that he is.

Bikechess: Mar 13th 2008; 3:47PM

Looks great

Curtis the Claw: Brawl Code 1075-0441-3284: Mar 13th 2008; 3:51PM

All you have to do is play 15 matches on Shadow Moses.

Avarice: Mar 13th 2008; 3:55PM

"Otakon, I just ate a 'shroom and became, like, freakin' huge! What do I do now?"

"Whoa, whoa, Snake. Let me talk you down."

E.J.: Mar 13th 2008; 4:57PM

"I'm freakin out, man."

deaftly: Mar 13th 2008; 5:08PM

littering and..... littering and......

mmxzero: Mar 13th 2008; 6:36PM

Smokin' the reefer

SinHarvest: Mar 13th 2008; 4:05PM

"What do i look like? A pokemon trainer?!"

Rockel: Mar 13th 2008; 4:10PM

Colonel! Samus just took her clothes off!

FoxHoundADAM: Mar 13th 2008; 4:11PM

HA, that's aweomse. "Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off"

Hawko: Mar 13th 2008; 4:11PM

Wasn't this "revealed" at the Smash Bros. Dojo-website months (read: eons) ago?

Jonathan Tran: Mar 13th 2008; 4:19PM

They showed some vids but did not say they were in the final game, or how to access them.

Mr Khan: Mar 13th 2008; 5:25PM

They did not say specifically, they simply said to play as him on Shadow Moses Island

The Luigi one still makes me lol, as does the Captain Falcon one

cjshrader: Mar 13th 2008; 4:21PM

Wait, the Donkey Kong of today isn't the same Donkey Kong that went against Mario in Donkey Kong? What's the lifespan of a Kong that it's gone through two generations (And had a son) while Mario doesn't seem to have aged a day?

samfish: Mar 13th 2008; 4:24PM

All those 1UP mushrooms are great for preserving one's youth and vitality, I suspect.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime): Mar 13th 2008; 4:36PM

Sigh...any good Nintendy fanboy knew this. You need to bone up on your brawl. Im getting a wii and SSBB tomorrow!!! Cant wait to unlock Snake.

Gewurztraminer (needs more umlaut): Mar 13th 2008; 4:39PM

You can blame(/thank?/whatever) Rare for that. Apparently Cranky Kong from DK Country is the "original" DK.

Lijik: Mar 13th 2008; 7:13PM

To be fair the timeline mindf*** didn't start until Mario Kart 64. That was the first time Mario and the second DK appeared together.

Kizzle: Mar 13th 2008; 4:23PM

I wasn't aware that the current Donkey Kong was the grandchild of the original, I thought they were supposed to be the same.

Glad to hear that, though. Donkey Kong was much better when he was a woman-stealin' evil gorilla. He sucks as a retard in a tie.

samfish: Mar 13th 2008; 4:24PM

Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong.
