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.

Why is it depressing? Minecraft is literally the best selling game of all time, I’d say he has a good position in a game about gaming’s greatest

If you put doom guy and a wolfenstein guy in ssb, than you get "PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale" and not a super smash bross.

doom 1 on snes,gba,switch
doom 2 on gba,switch
doom 64 n64,switch
doom 3 switch
doom 2016 switch
doom eternal upcoming (someday) switch

Don’t forget that Fallout itself is not in smash but rather Vault Boy, this is because Fallout Shelter is the only game on Switch

I don't know... As someone who was already very content with the original roster on the N64, I can't get too emotional about those character announcements. I'm a huge fan of Dragon Quest and Banjo-Kazooie and even though they delivered on those franchises I'll keep using Fox anyway. ^_^

How many characters are there already? More than 70? I can't main them all, can I? I have to think really hard which char I would actually even hope for anymore. Maybe Joanna Dark after Perfect Dark got only a very subtle presence in Melee many years ago. And I'd enjoy Guybrush Threepwood since he's probably my favorite video game character.

After seeing his gameplay Steve has the potential to be toptier, I'm making him definitely once he comes out, also rip Travis lol, a lot of people got salty when Steve was shown off instead of him

Eh,


It's just that something like Minecraft feels like something I could just do myself by going outside...when things are back to normal.

Also, I played Mortal Kombat and watched the Supreme Demonstrations in UMK3 when I was, like, 9. Granted, I had to be sneaky about it, but I turned out fine.

And I'm sure they can't be any harder than something like this:


You have zombies and creepers outside? Where the fuck do you live

nice of them to throw a bone to the 8 year olds out there i guess :rofl2:
Huh, didn’t know that every single one of the 200 million people who bought mc(including me)were eight year olds

Kinda funny how the Minecraft meme got into smash and still no Waluigi. Seems mean to leave out one of the 4 for this long. Maybe that will be the "last" character they add.

Minecraft was pretty fun but I wish it had more structure. After I beat the Ender Dragon I still haven't played again. I usually get bored playing sandbox games, would rather build something in real life. Maybe a quest mod could bring me back, but there's so many other games I want to play.

Still, this might be a fun character to play as a few times.

Waluigi is an assist trophy

There's also the time a whole discord server harassed Sakurai on twitter to add waluigi

Geez I didn't know that discord crap. Shame on those assholes..

But an assist trophy isn't the same as a playable character. I barely play anymore, and never cared about playing as Waluigi anyways. It still seems weird to have 3 out of the 4 on the roster IMO though.
