the weird thing about snake and ocelot *SPOILERS*

*SPOILERS*


at the end of snake eater when snake and Ocelot fight hand to hand ocelot ends up countering nearly every move whilst snake is using CQC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean at the beginning of snake eater snakes beats ocelot many times both hand to hand and with guns but at the end ocelot uses cqc against snake.It was the est fighting sequence in the game but it's weird how ocelot just becomes so skillful all of a sudden???

I think that Hideo wanted to show that Ocelot admires Snake by wanting a fair fight with him at the end, he seems very pleased when he handles himself well, and could easily have shot Snake at any time, the only reason he got on the plane was to test himself against Snake.
The fact that he chose to learn Snake's fighting style shows both respect and determination, this develops the Ocelot character considerably.
Also, let's not forget that the Boss also developed the style with Snake, so Ocelot will naturally have an aptitude for it.

Yeah he does, another example is how he learns the revolver trick so fast.

As mentioned, Ocelot just has the ability to learn skills quickly. If you notice, in the shootout you have with Ocelot, he starts to re-load his gun faster and faster. And besides, during the course of the game, The Boss might have taught Ocelot a few tricks.
