Your only argument revolves around how you personally don’t like his character design and that somehow means he should not be in Smash. ![]() This is about his relevance to gaming and Nintendo and his moveset potential, which are the only real consistent qualifiers for a Smash character. This is absolutely not about my opinion of Steve. Steve was nowhere near the top of my list of characters I wanted (I would’ve loved Rayman). I’ve dabbled over the years but I’m definitely not a super fan. Thu 1st Oct I’m not a big fan of Minecraft.Your arguments about his design ultimately boil down to your personal tastes and you’re entitled to those, but to try to objectively translate your tastes into a logical argument as to why he doesn’t belong here is just silly, especially since it’s already happening in a way that clearly works and makes sense. The only real qualification for a Smash fighter is relevance to gaming and Nintendo (which Steve absolutely has) and moveset potential (again, not a problem here). The same would apply to the other examples you mentioned, except none of them have the recognizablility or relevance that Steve and Minecraft do. Many would argue that a block from Tetris would make a welcome addition to Smash, due to its relevance to gaming and Nintendo, but the problem comes in the moveset, a problem that Steve clearly doesn’t have. You say he’s “not a character” but neither is Villager. Game & Watch is arguably simpler in design and far less recognizable. Thu 1st Oct But why does his simple design disqualify him? Mr.I can like Minecraft and despise this attempt of a “character”. So you can’t just minimize my argument to “you just don’t like Minecraft”. It’s the only character in around 60 in the roster I’ve ever complained about. it says it has a name in the manual! He’s now got a personality! Yey!Īnd It’s not just the looks, it’s a mix of various elements in which you can’t compare Kirby as a character to “Steve”. It’s like when the characters in the 80s were just soul less. I mean, he didn’t even had a name until the internet “baptized” him. It may be my opinion as a designer, that’s why it baffles me that this generic dude got into smash. it’s as generic as a Tetris block.īecause it’s popular doesn’t mean it is Smash material. It’s the characterization, the personality. Thu 1st Oct it’s not just about the design.I’m sorry you hate this fighter so much and I certainly can’t and won’t argue with your feelings, but your personal disdain for Steve doesn’t invalidate his relevance. Including elements from Minecraft in a game commemorating Nintendo and gaming history makes incredible sense. And as we’ve already seen, potential for a unique and innovative moveset that draws from the source material is abundant. Minecraft is a worldwide phenomenon in gaming, has strong ties to Nintendo hardware and has already crossed over with Mario. Far simpler, less recognizable and nameless characters from much less popular IPs are already included in Smash’s absolutely massive roster. What seems to be the problem here is that you don’t like Steve, which is entirely fair, but to try to say his simplistic design renders him an invalid choice is just nonsense. Game & Watch is so simplistic that he lacks a dimension altogether (as well as a proper name), and uses very limited frames of animation. Thu 1st Oct You somehow equate a complicated or detailed design as the single qualification to make something a “character.” Kirby’s design is arguably as simple as Steve’s, and Mr. Steve also has a strange jump, more of a short hop than a big, floaty Smash Bros. The dash attack is pretty straightforward, but can be really strong if you have a weapon. Uptilt is an upwards axe swing, which you can hold just like the neutral normal. ![]() You can even jump! Using down tilt makes Steve use a flintrock to summon a block of fire, which will fall if you use it at an edge. In similar fashion to Mega Man, you can hold down the button and move around while he’s swinging. For instance, the neutral one has him swing with whatever he’s holding, or just his fists. Steve has some strange properties when you’re using his normals. This is more of a tricky sort of move, and the better prepared you are to use it the more you’ll actually do with it. You can smash into opponents, but you can also jump out and send it at them they go for a ride, and the more damage they have the further it’ll take them. Side special summons a minecart, and if you have the right materials it builds a track as you go.
