Liquid wasn't too surprised that Snake was still strong-- it was his brother, after all. The perfect soldier. Even as an old dog of war, he would still be powerful and skilled, which was just what he wanted.

He blocked what punches and kicks he could, but a few got through. He returned them with strikes of his own, trying to use his every advantage; Liquid was young and in the peak of health.

"Is this all you have, brother? I expected more from the world's greatest soldier!"
