It could work similar to Lucario's recovery, where you aim as it charges. Nah. When he gets hit he will blink red like mobs and players do in Minecraft. Armor - If you make a whole charge with down special, you get some armor, which will be displayed in the item frame, then put on Steve. @fafonio I’m not a big fan of Minecraft. Crouch - When he crouches, he will hold a shield in front of him like you do when holding shield and crouching in Minecraft. @Eel yeah it certainly sounds generic to me, being Italian, but for the rest of the world Steve is certainly more plain than Mario.Also, Mario has a distinctive visual identity everyone can recognize, Steve is just blocks.Mario has a voice, even though he doesn't properly speak.Mario has conveyed emotions via animation in many, many different games.Steve is just plain.But even apart from that, the fact that I didn't even think of Mario as generic-sounding speaks to the fact that he's so iconic nowadays, that even a generic name makes him pop instantly in one's mind. Steve is not pandering to the LOLs or oddball category, and it is neither classic nor historical. Mr. Game & Watch is arguably simpler in design and far less recognizable. (Oh wait, that is what Steve is) I mean, he didn’t even had a name until the internet “baptized” him. I agree that his character design is dull (due to the "make your own story" nature of the game), but I don't believe that takes away from Minecraft's legacy and staying power, or from his move set (which seems to be well designed), Enderboy's trying his best, don't pick on him. "And Steve is just a name given to the default avatar in Minecraft. They cannot be caught. Ultimate will add Minecraft's Steve, Alex, Zombie, and Enderman as upcoming DLC fighters. He’s no less generic. It remains to be seen how fun it is to play, but the character's moveset looks really fun! share. Animal Crossing: New Horizons' NookLink App Gets A Neat N... Genshin Impact Dev Responds To Breath Of The Wild Clone C... Every Smash Bros. It would be awesome if I used that against Zero Suit Samus in Smash. He’s an avatar, the agent by which the player interacts with the world. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter. If you've seen any movesets you thought were better I'd like to hear them. Finally, a black character as a main alt! Had to google that! If down special is ever used mid-air, it will immediately craft snowballs. It's really not as big as you seem to think. Like Palutena’s side special in smash 4, except smaller, and more abrupt of a push. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Similar to Snake’s up smash. It will work like a reflector that aims whatever was reflected downwards, so it doesn’t travel as far. @fafonio Yes, I do believe I catch your drift: Your drift is that, by romanticizing character design/characterization/personality, you have grown bitter and angry that a poorly designed character made it into Smash. The only reason I can see for why we're getting him as a playable character is because Nintendo really wants to capitalise on that Minecraft popularity as much as they can. If the opponent is touching the ground, they will be buried. They were made for the LOLs back in the day.... Steve is neither funny nor interestingly designed. So he can keep running and swinging his sword unless he stops himself manually. I feel like it would be better to have the bow instead of the crossbow, because this moveset is already complicated and being able to store shots would be too much. But I think it could work if done right.) The snowballs break after hitting something, or being blocked. As for the comparison between Steve and Villager (and the other character examples you mentioned) the main difference is that Villager, due to being from Animal Crossing which has more expressive and visually interesting characters by default, is more distinct (the others you mentioned even moreso) . So, instead of discussing it here, let’s discuss it in the game. @thesilverbrick all with interesting designs ..... at least those can be considered oddball characters. I was freaking out in orchestra when this happened. Crafting an item besides the item in your hand or if it is non-stackable, like the bucket, will make the new item replace the old one, and the old item disappears. Neat, but I was hoping that the rest of the alternate costumes would be skins representing a different character like Santa or Master Chief. This is Steve's first appearance outside of the Minecraft universe. 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. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Posted by. But as I said... so does GTA... should we put in Niko Bellic in there? Forward Tilt - The same as Jab and Dash attack, but moving forward a bit. @thesilverbrick hey I get it, you’re trying to transpose your personal opinion about the character too. Only pants will be displayed in the item frame, even though you craft pants and boots together. It’s the only character in around 60 in the roster I’ve ever complained about. Ultimate Full Character Roster List, Minecraft Steve's Smash Bros. Release Date And Further Details Will Be Revealed This Weekend, Gallery: Minecraft Steve's Alt Costumes And Screenshots, Steve from Minecraft will be the next fighter to join Super Smash Bros. Having a sophisticated design or distinct personality has never, ever been a prerequisite for Smash characters. Ultimate Full Character Roster List. @fafonio You guys will whine about anything... @clvr “Mario” is the first name in the roster. If you have full armor already you will craft a TNT block. I think people are super missing out on Steve having shulk monado-esque potion. Let’s put a car as a character next. I'm so damn hyped for this. In a really confused way. Alongside Steve, players will be able to play as Alex, Zombie and Enderman as alternate skins. Does it though? Down Special - Craft - A charged special that starts with Steve placing a crafting table, then a furnace, and then starts mining at the ground. Up Special - Elytra - A recovery move similar to Pit and Dark Pit’s up special. 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. Are you liking how Steve fits into the Smash universe? He’s a character that represents a massively important and successful video game franchise that has strong ties to Nintendo and a clear basis for a unique and functional moveset. The Trident will stick in the ground then float back to Steve as if it has the Loyalty enchantment on it. I don’t. 2 , Steve … You could still re-program the stages to replicate whatever Minecraft elements that are being planned (likely just turning parts of the stage into Minecraft blocks) or just include a special stage ala Mario Maker that can be customised like a Minecraft level. I can imagine Xander saying his name "steve?" @fafonio Personally, though I love Minecraft, I never cared to have Steve in Smash... but now he's in it, and it is what it is. Having a scotch random no-name generic dude skin says a lot about the creative choices and character design. Down Tilt - A sword swing that is like jab but downwards, after moving the shield slightly to the side. Mr Game & Watch, Pac-Man and ROB (among many others) are obvious examples of very simplistic characters in terms of both basic physical design and lack of character depth. (I don’t think Netherite weapons are stronger than Tridents, but I can’t be sure.) This thread is archived. This subreddit is for discussing Super Smash Bros. Steve is not superlative or new in any category. Need for Speed is popular too! And the name “Steve” really just means a male Minecraft avatar, as evidenced by the fact that there are three very different looking alts for Steve and Alex and they all share the same names. Man, props for the effort, really!! Forward Air - Same as neutral air, but with forward movement. The fact of the matter is, trying to argue that Steve shouldn’t be in Smash because his design is unappealing to you personally doesn’t make logical sense. Yey! At this point, you could probably get away with seriously asking for other meme choices like Shrek or Goku, something I didn't think was possible a couple of days ago but now seems like a real possibility. You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion of Steve, but all I’m saying is your personal opinion doesn’t make him irrelevant. Hold on there, you need to login to post a comment... Genshin Impact Dev Responds To Breath Of The Wild Clone Comments, Insists It's A "Very Different" Experience, Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. But you’re trying to transpose your personal opinion of him into some kind of logic-based argument as to why a character isn’t qualified to be in Smash. @Ratking LMAO!!! Steve equips the Elytra on his back (replacing any chest plate, if he is wearing one) and flies upwards using a firework. Hell, even Master Chief. @fafonio 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. Game & Watch is so simplistic that he lacks a dimension altogether (as well as a proper name), and uses very limited frames of animation. You’re not simply saying you wish he weren’t included; you’re saying he should not be in the game, and I’m saying that your personal opinion of a character has never been a qualifier for a character’s inclusion, and it makes zero logical sense to try to argue that. Super interesting. They’re excited about what Steve represents and will be able to do. (Even if Netherite is stronger.) We are not discussing math or logic based stuff here. I wasn't expecting the zombie and Enderman alts, but I was thinking they'd pull from the default skin pack on console for the alts. My conclusion... great game, terrible “character”.
