About this converter
Konami measures its Snakes the Capcom way: taller every few years. Solid Snake moved from 178 cm in the 1990 manual to 182 from 2005, while Big Boss spans three figures: 180 in 1999, 196 in 1964 material and 192 from 2005. Liquid holds 183, Ocelot and Gray Fox 180, Raiden 178, Otacon and Fortune 175, Meryl 173. Vulcan Raven towers over the sneaking cast at 210. That means one Raven equals about one and a fifth Otacons. Every figure here is a published manual or game data number with its era attached.
How to use it
Pick two operatives and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first, one the matching count of the second, one the height in the chosen unit. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Raven against Otacons.
Solidus height was never published, so the perfect clone stays out rather than guessed at. Vamp, Sniper Wolf and Psycho Mantis lack fixed figures across sources and stay out too. Ocelot age never shrinks his listed height across five decades of games. La Li Lu Le Lo.
