Umm no one was expecting Snake to even appear in Brawl at all (moment that the rumor of his creator (H. Kojima) wanted him in Melee but the development was too far in causing Snake to be left out of Melee, by the time Brawl was announced most of the fans were expecting Sonic to be the 1st 3rd party character revealed in Brawl but Snake was revealed 1st because Kojima (and Konami in general got special treatment) no one even thought Snake would appear in Brawl as a playable character, myself including .)
That was the past, let's try to focus on the 2 upcoming Smash Bros games (Wii U/3DS), if Snake does get cut (which he will since most of the Smash fanbase want him out as he doesn't fit in, he wasn't even mention getting a shot at being in these games (most of the fanbase are going with the fan favorite 1s such as Sonic, Mewtwo, and Lucario (maybe), (at least Snake got to be in Brawl which I'll accept him as a character.)
