Man that Bayonetta is so classic.
Regardless there's plenty of little touches they could make like showing a heart coming away from Steve when he's hit.
Bayonetta is classic, it doesn't matter if you don't like her. She resonates with gamers way more than a piece of crap like Steve.
Those are Nintendo's own characters, they're free to do what they like with them.
Plenty of people do because the stupidly high number of sales show the impact Minecraft has had. It shows how big it is. It's nice to know that something you like is doing well and will see some form of continued support.
It shows that at the very least Minecraft is more than worthy of having content in Smash considering the likes of CommanderVideo got a trophy.
No it isn't. Again, sales do not mean anything unless you're a shareholder and they don't correlate to how beloved a character is. If sales were everything then we would've gotten GTA, Madden and COD characters in Smash ages ago.
Steve is all three. People buy merch based off of Steve himself for crying out loud and to insinuate that he doesn't have historical impact is far beyond oblivious. He's been around for nearly a decade, still pretty popular and the game still has a huge presence and influence today. That he is the main character of the game ties him in directly with Minecraft's success.
No he is not. Merchandise does always not correlate to fan passion. You know what else sold a lot of merchandise? Garbage pail kids. No one is fondly remembering that franchise just because it sold a lot of plastic garbage that ended up in a landfill in a few years. You really need better arguments than "it sold a lot of merchandise", this is just painting by numbers crap that every blind fanboy does.
And all the adults who still play the game. Lets not do the "DAE Minecraft's audience is just little kids" thing.
You know as well as I do that the vast, VAST majority of people who play Minecraft are small kids, the fact that there are a few no-lifer unemployed adults who have enough time to build a scale replica of the Starship Enterprise in Minecraft does not change this fact.
I guarantee it would also be met by tremendous hype that drowns out those misers who hate fun.
You don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. Nowhere on any forum is Steve in high demand, except among a few basketcases who want him in because "lol he'd look so bad next to Mario".
friggin "gamers" and their stupid gatekeeping
It's the truth, and a gif is not a counter-argument. But the fact that you have to attack gamers as a whole and construe my argument as "gatekeeping" makes me laugh like Jameson in that pic, because it says a lot about you and your misguided ideologies.
Toy is a synonym for game so you're not wrong lol
Every game is a toy and plenty of "children's toys" are repped in Smash right now.
Toys and games are two different things, as evidenced by the fact that they have two separate definitions and not one and are not always used interchangeably.
It's a celebration of Nintendo (and Gaming) made for anyone to enjoy, it isn't exclusively for what you call "gamers"
Also they hire a lot of people who don't even play games.
Okay, which is why all the characters are from video games and all their possible actions are taken from their video game appearances rather than being generic placeholder actions. Again, thanks for proving you don't have the slightest clue what you're saying.
He has lots going for him with a wide variety of items at his disposal. He can terraform the stage with his own blocks thus creating his own platforms that can shape an area of the stage and be broken by anyone. He's got a slew of potions he can use to give himself buffs or throw out to deal different debuffs like slower speed or worse jump heights. He could even have a crafting mechanic that lets him get stronger and heavier as he crafts more and have it represented in stages from no armour to leather/wood to chainmail/stone to iron to diamond which gets reset upon a KO. An Ender Orb would be really fun to play with because whilst it could be like Yoshi's Egg Throw it has more application such as the orb landing resulting in Steve teleporting to that place or it could hit an opponent and now Steve is up in their face and can act out of it aside from throwing another Orb.
None of that is like Link at all.
You're right, he doesn't meet them.
He blows right through them.
I'd also prefer my thread not get derailed any further.
LMAO
So, it's literally more paint by numbers crap. It's basically just rehashing stuff from his game with zero thought given to actual Smash combat or balancing. It's just, "he did this at one point in his game, therefore he can do this in Smash". lol it really is sad how little you actually have for a good moveset for him. Terraforming the stage? So basically they'd need to code the capability be terraformed into every stage in the game, balance it properly so that it doesn't break anything, and go through a development and balancing nightmare that would delay the game substantially just so he could "create platforms". I don't even wanna get into what a cop-out "buff and debuff" mechanics are to a fighting game. This isn't a JRPG. Very few characters in fighting games revolve around such mechanics without being worthless gimmicks.
It's clear you know very little about game development, and that's what makes me glad you don't see how antithetical Steve is to the quality standards of Smash. Which makes me all the more happy that he won't ever get in. Thank god for that.
Steve is buried so far below the standards for Smash that he's burning up in lava.
