Solid Snake

This is Solid Snake in SSBB! Snake's a really great character and he handles like no other character you've seen. He is one of the most awesome game characters I have ever encountered, and it's not just about his skill. He can be quite humorous at times, and well, his story is actually quite tragic. His video game series is none other than Metal Gear Solid.

David, code-named Solid Snake, started off in Metal Gear as a mercenary working in FOXHOUND, a Special Forces group set up by Big Boss, the greatest soldier of the 19th century. He was set up by Big Boss and nearly killed because he was such a rookie, but he overcame the odds and defeated him. He later got involved in the Shadow Moses Island incident, where he met his twin brother, Liquid Snake, and some other FOXHOUND operatives like Revolver Ocelot. Solid Snake fought Liquid Snake and in the end, defeated him. Liquid eventually died of the genetic virus, FOXDIE. In the next installment, our hero met a soldier code-named Raiden, and they fought this man called Solidus Snake, who was the ex-President of America and named George Sears. Later, he discovered that all 3 of them, Solid, Liquid and Solidus, were clones of Big Boss, created in the Les Enfants Terribles project of 1972.

Solid Snake returns in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the final installment of the Metal Gear Solid series. He has aged a lot as a side effect of the cloning. But he will finally put an end to Liquid Ocelot (Liquid possessed Revolver Ocelot when Ocelot received his new arm from the dead Liquid Snake after his got severed in a fight), and put an end to the whole saga. And he will DIE! He will kill himself to end the whole legacy. I will miss David.
