Don't count Riot out just yet.

Part of the bet is that I have to use Snake who is a character I've used maybe 8 times total. iclim4 thinks very highly of my Snake skills though I'm not quite so confident in them.

It really is an interesting bet. I'll give it my best shot, but with a character I almost never play with... it's going to be very rough going on my end.

Some advices:

-Never use Side-Smash (unless on a vulnerable opponent) and Down-Smash.  100% agree, it comes out far too slowly.

-Never use F-Air and D-Air.  Agree again. 

-Never use N-Air if you are outside of the platform.  You can recover from this, but it can also kill you if you're not careful.  Either way it's not worth it.

-Hopping + B-Air/U-Air is a winning combination.  Yep.  They come out fast and they strike pretty far.

-Snakedash as much as you can.  Of course.  It works better on certain opponents than others.

-Don't forget to use your grenades. They are useful to get opponents off guard.  Yep.  You can actually do some fun grenade dropping stuff too though I wind up blowing myself up as much as the enemy doing that.  I'd need to practice to get the hang of it.

-Killing moves: U-Air, B-Air, Tilt-A (all of them) and Neutral A  Neutral A is the only one that has problems since the initial punch hits high it's harder to use on some characters.  Also you can chain the Tilt-A's knee if you're good enough.  That's pretty fun.

-Nikita is a great edgehog. Don't try to edgehog yourself.  I like using the Up + A to edge hog.  If they're coming up or down it's likely they'll get hit.  Nikita isn't bad as well so maybe I'll try it a bit more.

-In the moment you are sent off flying from the platform, use the Cypher as soon as you can.  Gotta be careful with that, you're not protected the whole way on that so you can get knocked out of it. 

Most of it is stuff I learned the first time I played with Snake, but it's still good advice none-the-less.
