​

Who will possibly be revealed? The latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character is just about to be announced at 7am PT/3pm BST. The livestream will be a short one, clocking in at only three minutes, though we will get a "brief message" from the man himself, Sakurai, directly after it. Be sure to tune in, or keep an eye on this thread to see who gets picked as the latest roster addition to Smash.

And the big reveal is Steve from Minecraft! Don't let your memes be dreams, as it's finally come true. There's a village stage that takes place in different biomes.

But wait, Zombie and Enderman also join the battle? And Alex, all as echo fighters, or costumes. It's unclear.

Sakurai asks, what exactly did we just watch. Well, he explains that Nintendo approached him with the idea of adding a Minecraft character. He says it took absolute wizardry to get Steve into the game. While some things were easy, it was the programming of the actual character that made things difficult, as his attacks involve placing blocks.

Sakurai will have a video on October 3rd where he'll show more off about the characters.

That was super underwheling, i really wanted someone else. smash is just a meme at this point, Nintendo was pointing a gun at sakurai's family

Figures, another sword fighter /s

I wasn't keen on any sword fighters either but did everyone complaining actually see the trailer? He looks like he has a lot of unique gimmicks, plus his sword style is basically mimicking Minecraft
I.E its just a single hit

He said it himself

Actually though, the way he went into the process of it made it seem like he wasn't for it to begin with but Nintendo insisted on it being Steve.

I wanted rex from xenoblade and got the character that is going to fuck the fanbase

 

[Brayton1-7]

Heartbreak number... how many characters are there i dont care about? lets just say Heartbreak V

 

[Lazyt]

please i want kingdom hearts

 

[YuseiFD]

And i thought the game couldn't get any cringier

 

[ov3rkill]

Bringing in a Microsoft character. hell yeah!

 

[NumberXIIIEdwin]

And now I sit and watch as the whole community literally implodes on themselves because nothing is ever good enough for them. The only thing that could have been funnier than this is if they added another Fire Emblem character just out of spite.

Am I hype about this? Eh. But am I mad about? Nope. At the end of the day someone is excited for this and I'm happy for them, whoever they are.

Also I'm happy Byleth is in Smash

0/10 another sword fighter

 

[ShadowOne333]

Seems to me like Microsoft has been incredibly generous to Nintendo letting them use their stuff...
But when the fuck can we expect Nintendo doing the same in return? Letting Microsoft use their IPs?

 

[Hells Malice]

Nintendo be like

It's April 1st EVERY DAY


... At least the concept is unique and he looks hilarious. But this feels more like a fan addition than an official one. He doesn't really fit.
