Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Steve from Minecraft joins the roster

​


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.

Doubt Taichi will be in if they use Digmon because he was only in the Anime/Manga, but for sure if Digimon got in it would be Agumon. I mean he has enough moves to fill up a move set, and his final smash could be a Warp Evolution + Gaia Force so it wouldn't be that hard to pull off. Evolution is a big part of digimon though but I don't think they would make his level change aside from Child level in playable form

I meant it more in like, when the fuck will Nintendo allow other companies to do stuff with their IPs? In a matter that's not limited to their system/company.
If Microsoft allowed for both Steve and Banjo Kazooie to be in Smash, when will Nintendo finally stop being the overprotective douches they are and let Microsoft do something with theirs?

nintendo already let microsoft have some characters...

Mario pack on minecraft, or you forgot?

nintendo also let some games use their ips like
teeken tag tournament wiiu with mario stuff
soulcalibur with link
they licesned pokemon alot to do all sorts of things with other games and even other consoles like those kids computers with pokemon learning games on 2000s

obviously they dont want their characters to appear in the competitor hardware with the pokemon exception, same way you wont see kratos appear on xbox anytime soon.

Also microsoft didnt made banjo or steve, they just bought the studios which already had games on nintendo hardware before being bought, so its not like its their created flagship chraracter they lettted use, more like their bought characters.

if they ever made master cheif or gears game on the switch that would be another thing but they arent doing that.

You know, for those who follow the happenings of SmashFAQs, it's funny: Vergeben leaked Steve from Minecraft, like, before the game was out. Granted, he got the timing wrong, but holy shit, you have to see the meltdown in the Smash Ultimate message boards right now! XD

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.
