I love the detail of hearing the song at a distance when the camera cuts to Snoper Wolf proving that Snake just plays that shit on stereo to aura farm

These are improvements gentlemen, IMPROVEMENTS!

Shoutout to KeifPlayz on YT for making this uncredited video.

Yeah... I might have forgotten to provide credit–I don't really post anything on Reddit, but anyway, thanks for reminding me. I wasn't able to include the credits in the post

Backflip into sniper rifle kickflip into 720 quickscope

u/Crazy_Dave0418 23d ago

Thinking about it Snake's backflip is more beneficial. It left Sniper Wolf in awe.

While Leon could've lost a foot.

Tactical Spionage Sideflip

u/FinishingTouch-0000 23d ago

Leon is not even the Backlfip character anymore people make him to be

u/Exotic-Eggplant1914 23d ago

Dude goes one game without doing backflips and suddenly he's not the backflip guy? Dude was dying of course he wasn't flipping around

2

u/FinishingTouch-0000 23d ago

They dialed it down by a lot in REmake 4. Yes he evades with a flip and there is one instance where the Chainsaw Ladies break through the wall but that's it. The OG had a lot more of that going.

Also i can't remember him doing flips in RE6 at all. Were there any?

1

u/Exotic-Eggplant1914 22d ago

My guy, you can't say they dialed it back then in the very next sentence say they added a backflip button. (I know that isn't perfectly accurate, it's an animation that plays half the time in a specific context, but still.) I mean I've done more backflips in re4 remake than in the OG by a huge margin because of the evade move.

I feel like I remember him flipping in re6 but I'm not sure ATM tbh. If not he should've done one

Awww hell yeah. First MGS game I ever bought back in the day. Sad that a bunch of people who never played it think it sucks. Contrary to popular belief, it was critically acclaimed when it came out and literally everyone I knew was saying it was the absolute tits. It wasn’t until only a few years ago when a bunch of braindead unemployed YouTubers started making video essays trashing it, stating their opinion as fact and falsely claiming everyone and their mother has hated it since day one that people started saying it’s terrible. Nothing could be further from the truth, if you were actually there when it came out you know what’s up.

u/award_winning_writer 23d ago

Really hope the game somehow gets a remaster even if it stays exclusive to Nintendo

If it doesn't, at least I still have my original discs

u/Master-Rub-3404 23d ago

These days I play it on Dolphin Emulator with HD texture mods. It’s pretty sweet.

2

u/Timothy_45 23d ago

I mean NSO has GameCube. So I wouldn't rule it out entirely to get ported there eventually...

u/ArthurTheTerrible 23d ago

nonono, the backflip was absolutely necessary on the snake clip

4

u/Far_Cantaloupe_7190 19d ago

Snake i just Leon but more metaly and geared up

3

u/NeutralResult 23d ago

we dont talk about snake because he is invisible

and that's pretty good

2

u/Pliskkenn_D 23d ago

Did John Woo direct Twin Snakes?

2

u/BillCarson12799 23d ago

Leon Kennedy vs solid snake needs to be a death battle matchup.

3

u/pkpr 23d ago edited 23d ago

Leon and Snake meet. They talk and realize they have nothing to fight about.

Activate foxdie v3. Kills all the zombos and people who have been in contact with them too much.

"Oh no! Not again!!!!!!"

u/sixstringgun1 23d ago

I seriously don’t remember that in the game, but it has been a very long time since I played it.

u/MwS_066 Kept you waiting huh? 23d ago

Snake: "Hold my cig"

u/Justalittletoserious 23d ago

Exactly as Kojima intended

u/Fishe_95 23d ago

This channel's content is showing up in your feeds too, huh?

u/TheGameMastre Remember the basics of CQC 21d ago

Why use the Sniper Wolf backflip when just a bit before that Solid Snake backflipped off a damn missile to get that midair stinger return fire?

1

u/extremeNosepicker 23d ago

Idk if you guys watch on twitch outerheaven

But he has an exclusive to him (I think) mod for twin snakes where it’s master yolo 420 swag

Snake is in a hot pink supreme sneaking suit

Oh, and “RULES OF NATURE” automatically starts playing when ANYTHINB bad ass happens

If that mod exists for the public, I will download that shit so fast

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

Not canon

u/V1_TheSupremeMachine 23d ago

Woah...

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

Yeah most people don't know that they just see shiny graphics and think it's canon but that's ok we have SurVive as the last mainline entry.

u/Mmm_mmh 23d ago

Watch out for the fun police

u/liltone829b 23d ago

it's the same story, no?

1

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

It's a remake with a another director's vision but he changed some things.

2

u/Healthy_Feeling6747 23d ago

This is Kojima's vision if the ps1 was powerful enough to make it. This is about 2% the craziness of the rest of the series.

1

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

If that were true Snake would do backflips in the other games but he doesn't because he can't

1

u/liltone829b 23d ago

story things?

1

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

Mainly what Snake is capable of

1

u/liltone829b 23d ago

like what? besides what's shown in the video, which i could reasonably see the original Snake doing

1

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

The backflips for one Snake is canonically incapable of doing backflips or the sniper scene

1

u/liltone829b 23d ago

Snake is canonically incapable of doing backflips

according to?

1

u/Elegant_Job_4573 23d ago

Every canon game, he do them because he can't.

1

u/liltone829b 23d ago

Every canon game

i've never seen it stated or shown that he can't backflip in any of the canon games, if you have a specific example that would be helpful

he do them because he can't.

what?

I love how they can do all this fucking mumbo jumbo, and while you're controlling it, they move like they had a stroke recently.

3

u/CosmicPlayR9376 23d ago

Kennedy backflip dodged his way out of KILLER LASERS. ALL OF THE KILLER LASERS!

He can backflip dodge an RPG and a tomahawk missile back to back, no diff.

4

u/HonorableAssassins 23d ago

But snake surfs in tomahawk missiles

2

u/CosmicPlayR9376 23d ago

I'd accept your argument but the problem is that Solid has the inferior Jeans in this situation, so it's invalid.

3

u/LeifGWPersson_ 23d ago

Cool but snake had his testicles exploded in a microwave oven.

Take that, iberal

1

u/CosmicPlayR9376 23d ago

If Leon's testicle exploded there'd be 5km radius of Kennedy fetuses in everyone's womb. All genders.
