Oh man, stuff is really coming to a head with this Microsoft/Nintendo relationship, isn't it?! Definitely gonna have to download that eventually. I really hope we see a certain bear and bird make a return on Nintendo consoles down the road and soon!CUPHEAAAAAD on Switch!!! That was nice of Microsoft wasn't it? "Our friend Microsoft"
"Our friends at Microsoft." Mmmmm...feels good.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up for me.

Just clip through the cylinder.
It has some semblance of challenge, therefore it is the dark souls of platformers.
Don't worry guys, it was just a social experiment
As other people pointed out, Creepers seem to occupy that. Hell, the blocks themselves are more a mascot than the skin Steve. Inklings are customisable avatars essentially, they're not interchangeable skins like Stevo
Cuphead ain't happening. (for season 1 at least)
But the Creeper is limited to certain abilities in Minecraft, like blowing itself up. Steve, or the playable character, on the other hand can do so many more things and represent Minecraft a lot better than just the limited abilities of a Creeper. I see what you mean, Steve is just Steve, but no matter how you alter the Inklings, they will always be Inklings. But I mean that doesn't matter when Steve has multiple official skins of his own:
What da what!?
Almost positive this was all a joke. Because I saw it my self it was on his Bio. And Rare wouldn't reply like this if it was a legitimate early reveal on accident.
You seem to be a little misinformed on Isaac fans mate. Now while I do disagree with your premise of being about legacy due to a few characters on the roster already, the GS fans don't tout GS as a landmark title for Nintendo. It has done far better than other series that get more recognition like Fire Emblem and Xenoblade but that's it. They do say Isaac is a big deal for Smash because despite him being an AT, despite him being removed from Smash, despite him being passed up for DLC last game, despite his series multiple periods of dormancy he has maintained popularity as one of the top characters. Most characters get popular and then it diminishes when they are deconfirmed or they are just forgotten about next game. Very very few characters have enduring power on that level and that's why they keep bringing up Isaac. And yes you are correct Nintendo doesn't keep re-releasing the game since we were just unlucky enough to have the series on GBA instead of Nintendo's beloved SNES or NES and yet that hasn't stopped the fans of the series to continue to request for a new one and remakes of the original game to the point it's a high request to see on the Switch, so yes it's not a legacy title but it is a series that has inspired a lot of passion and refuses to die despite Nintendo's lackluster response.
I don't disagree with you, but I largely think it comes down to Steve being one of the least expressive characters in gaming. That's in line with Minecraft as a whole, but it's not like he can have facial animations or really express much of anything besides his grunts when he takes damage. He's also easily replaceable as a skin and many people will opt out of playing as him entirely, or to take that one step further, they won't even register Steve as an independent entity from an avatar they play as. You could theoretically play Minecraft entirely in first person and never even realize what you look like sort of thing. I think that's where people resist him the most generally come from.But the Creeper is limited to certain abilities in Minecraft, like blowing itself up.

Steve himself is iconic though. Otherwise, there would be no merch for him and Mojang/Microsoft wouldn't use him as the mascot for Minecraft. Everyone knows who Steve is because he is the default skin, and that defaultness is what makes him so iconic. Steve is on posters, the box art of the various Minecraft versions, has plushies and action figures. He is the player in Minecraft, and can do so many more things. I don't see how the Creeper would be more iconic and would represent Minecraft better when it is limited to one ability. Who cares if Steve is an interchangeable skin, the point of Minecraft is creativity. So even if Steve gets in and he has different skins that aren't Steve, why would that matter?
I really don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful, but I don't understand how people can't see that Steve is the mascot of Minecraft, he literally is and Mojang/Microsoft make that apparent as well.
The best way to point put the very real problems I and many other have with him is that Steve has no means of properly articulating himself in the Smash world. Even with the proposed changes based on Minecraft Dungeons, he still does not have the range of movement required to flow on the battlefield. Plus there are no unique animations or references to pull from to make a viable moveset. These glaring issues also comes with the lack of Music that can be assimilated into Smash.
I get your opinion and that's fair but what do you mean by notches below Fire Emblem and Xenoblade? Because at the time of those series inclusions in Smash neither had sold as well as Golden Sun.
You guys both gave me similar responses... that Steve is just too basic to fit in Smash, and shows no emotions whatsoever. My only gripe with that is, look at what Minecraft is. Minecraft itself represents simplicity. Look at the abysmal graphics of the game. It matches up perfectly with Steve's simplicity, and I feel like if Steve retained the weird, emotionless, stiff and simple aspects of himself in Smash, it would only better contribute to Minecraft's representation. He may look strange compared to the other characters in Smash, but that's the point; there's no other game out there like Minecraft. There's also the possibility that Sakurai and his team can give Steve his own type of flair. Remember, Captain Falcon was only ever seen in a car before Sakurai turned him into a ground soldier.
The Captain Falcon point is pretty good, indeed.
I don't want to be rude either, or carry on an irrelevant argument. If you want we can take it to DMs to not further derail the thread or you can look over the past pages to see all these points and more thoroughly debunked.
You say debunked as if no one has given points for the opposite.
If the rumours are true, maybe the next reveal in the near future would be a port of the Master Chief Collection.
Oh got it. Yeah, that's a fair point Nintendo hasn't put a lot of money behind Golden Sun in the past as it cited as a big reason DD failed the other being on the DS right before the 3DS came out. And while handheld game characters are in Smash they are all from series that started as console games save for Pokemon which never occurred to me. I'd say Sakurai needs to represent handhelds better as they have been a major front for Nintendo but most of the big titles on handhelds have belonged to those series. Still, GS was on the GBA box art and it's a series that deserves far more recognition than it got and still should have a playable character if nothing else from fan demand.
