Close quarters cuddling

[@somefrog6089]

That's... actually pretty meaningful. It never occurred to me to interpret the scene that way. Very fitting, considering that it's the very end of MGS. That's how you put an end to it all.

Ocelot is really The Boss' child. Unlike the Snakes, especially the clones, they were known to be on a superhuman level. But all we know initially about Ocelot is he's a trained spy and skilled with guns. But his MGS3 incarnation until his death in MGS4 showed that he's a fast learner and highly flexible just like the Boss was.

[@devildavin]

"what was that? some sort of Judo?" "i...just pushed him...."

[@timothylove9724]

They all do CQC a little differently. The Boss focuses on disarming and countering. Big Boss/Naked Snake uses a lot of punches. Ocelot/Liquid likes using knives and weapons. And Solid even incorporates his iconic spin kick at 8:12

[@saintsocramnymaia5511]

Thats a brutal kick when it lands even irl 😬

I would say solid is the one punching. Big boss uses throws much more.

The one with Ocelot and Old Snake in the river tunnel will always be one of my favorites. Its so well choreographed and when you slow it down and analyze it, the animations are still top notch. The cigar deflecting off the solid eye will always always be a cool way to start.

[@hylianro]

And then the cigar falling onto the ground when ocelot beats old snake to show how fast he was

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

​@@hylianroAnd while Ocelot may claim to have the "upperhand" in terms of CQC because he is playing as liquid, he don't actually have the upperhand against snake who is a super soldier. Meaning, while their speed was being equalized because Snake at this point is suffering from accelerated aging while Ocelot is actually an oldman, it's more of the skill embedded on Ocelot as a practitioner of the CQC that "beaten" Snake there at that moment. Snake may beat him in a prolonged and undisturbed fight like what happened in the ending but Ocelot skills should be enough to take down the Snakes if given a chance to "Surprise" them.

[@poserboii7956]

I'm honestly shocked that Quiet single-handedly tearing through a whole squad of Soviets with her hands literally tied behind her back and then freeing herself didn't make the cut.

[@brandonperkins176]

Old Snake putting Johnny on his ass in MGS4 as well as Naked Snake vs. Ocelot in MGS3 both were the best CWC moments in Metal Gear Solid lore

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

the moments of actual martial arts in video game made me love this series more.

[@tronovonflidder775]

Feel like they should be performing at higher speeds to really showcase the fact that these are the best warriors on Earth, capable of going toe to toe with super enhanced individuals. John Wick & Captain America are more impressive in that regard. But I'll cut Metal Gear Solid some slack as it's a pretty old franchise. As it stands though, MGS 4 & 5 are the only ones with some good CQC scenes. An exception goes to Naked Snake vs The Boss in MGS 3 because that one was pretty fast paced & decently choreographed. The rest were kinda mid. Ocelot's gunplay was fun though, but that wasn't CQC.

[@r_jd279]

#4 had a great lesson for Eli concerning the not broken and only dislocated arm. A bit of a Phantom clue with Venom's knowledge of anatomy (if you choose to read into it that way). I was disappointed that Eli wasn't taught some sweet headbutt CQC, as alluded to...but hey Kojima productions had a deadline to meet.

[@pennyhero7873]

ya know thats a really good point Big boss is good but even he needed guidance on patching himself up Venom though kinda just does it on instinct

[@dio8651]

⁠​⁠@@pennyhero7873wasn’t he the medic in the helicopter at the end of ground zeroes? Surely he’d know some first aid and patching up wounds. He also had big boss’ memories at this time, who definitely knows first aid at the time phantom pain starts

[@Nasha842]

Maaan, it's been years since I've played any of these games and I'd forgotten just how well-choreographed these scenes are.

[@Sly_rim]

The best CQC scene in mgs is the cutscene in 5 when you have low morale and Venom stops two Mother Base soldiers from fighting

[@nosoydanyz]

He literally puts in the ground 2 soldiers in 2 seconds

[@supa_cold_ninja]

You are truly the biggest MGS fan with that last one :)

[@PatriotInfinity]

Using CQC for a tender embrace truly is number 1

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

Oh man. I loved this video. Every moment you guys listed are some of my absolute favorites. Volgin being legit scared and tossed on his ass by The Boss is my favorite thing in the MGS franchise. One would think that _Thunderbolt_ being in charge (and his reputation) would make The Boss "heel" to him, but nope. Maybe she gave the illusion of being on the same side, but even Volgin knew that he couldn't beat her on his absolute best day. Seeing The Boss and her CQC make me nostalgic and wonder if she is my favorite character in the franchise. She's a close #2 to Venom Snake for me though. Thanks for the upload. I needed something awesome to watch on my lunch break and you guys came through. ✊️

[@PythonSelkan]

That's an awesome description 👏 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We're glad to have been of company 😄 Have a great day! 👊 - P&S

[@str3lokk]

venom and ocelot(and BB on ocelot) using the same moves on Eli that Snake and Liquid Ocelot would go on to use in IV is pretty amazing as well.

[@jxbanzai]

the #1, still hits me in the feels...

[@alecboss8646]

God this hit me so hard. Metal Gear has been my favorite series of all time for close to two decades and was something my best friend and I lived and breathed since we were kids. Seeing these highlights brought me right back to being 12 and marathoning MGS 3 and 4 with him. God the last one, oh man, “let it go my son” gets me every time. Thank you for this

[@lololololol3908]

Every scene where venom does CQC is the best, he just fucking rocks his opponent in the most efficient way possible

“what you gonna learn is how to use your head”. MGS in a nutshell.❤

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Perfect number 1!!! An amazing end to it all. The greatest MGS of all was 4.

[@TheDeadmanstrolling]

5:34 really one of the best cutscenes in MGS3 Snake trounces Volgin in one move, deapite having a gun pointed at his face, and doesnt even make a grunt Boss shows up and immediately closes the distance in a split second Snake actually disarms her knife, showing he was improving vs how easily he was beaten in the Virtuous Mission Boss disarms his gun but doesnt have enough time to completely dismantle it, again because Snake is improving She thriws Snake down, but he takes the opportunity to attack her even while down to give himself space to get back up She blocks his attack and tries to grapple, but he breaks out of it and immediately follows up with his own, once again Snake is showing his immense improvement Boss breaks out of the grapple, and only then does Boss manage to mess him up and get the upper hand All this in a matter of seconds! Bonus: Boss trouncing Volgin, her own host, in one move as well, and the shot of Boss standing in the center with three incapacitated men around her. Cinema.

[@ShooterUndead]

I hoped for that first place for the whole video, after all the best cqc move is a hug

[@stephenwoods74]

[@BOND19951]

7:30-8:51 I like how Snake mixes up his CQC with other martial art forms. I like to believe that Solid Snake in his prime was a force to reckon and only a rare few can challenge him. Those would be Big Boss, Venom Snake along with Gray Fox were the only ones that could go toe to toe with him in

4:20 Ocelot trying to poke Snake's eye only to realize that he doesnt have one there anymore because he accidently shot him there before and Snake grinning was priceless. 😂 Honestly i found the cutscene for the final fight with Liquid Ocelot in MGS 4 to be the best, too bad its not here. Ngl MGS should have finished in 4, another game was unnecessary however if Kojima and his team had the time and allowed to make the game how they wanted i wonder how MGS 5 would have turned out.

[@miri8868]

Ocelot and snake was probably the most CQC used in one take as opposed to big boss and solid snake. But I can see why BB n SS is number 1

When old snake got his ass whooped by CQC hug , he already knew he was big boss. No other person left on mgs4 who can be that effective on CQC excluding Liquid and Big boss. I like how they mixed that scene. Talking about philosophy. Old snake being tired of fight, giving up to big boss and drop his weapon as a way to let go all his past, while being on a graveyard. Like that part they both died big boss as the legend that he was and old snake as a soldier. What a badass scene :)
