Let's also not forget that Steve is just a fill with your own shoes type of avatar character. Steve himself has no personality at all just whatever the player in the game does with him because it's suppose to be you thats why I personally can't see him in the game besides an assist or stage.
Also, Steve sucks. Never even heard of him til this 'leak' crap started.
Yeah if Microsoft wants representation then either Banjo or Master Chief. Preferably Banjo and Kazooie.
Before someone says "Link, Corrin, and Robin are avatar characters too", Corrin and Robin have distinct personalities. Link has had a great personality since Ocarina of Time, though it really came out in The Wind Waker and games after.
Yeah I don't like Halo at all, but Master Chief is at least a gaming icon, and I can actually see him fit perfectly in Smash (the design of his suit facing other Smash characters I mean). Banjo of course deserves it more than either of the two. Of course when it comes to Microsoft and Rare, It'd rather see Joanna Dark. I mean one of her items was in Melee anyway, and her game was almost technically mentioned in Melee...
Wow that is huge!
Surprise birthday parties are terrible. There is absolutely none to be had because you should know when your date of birth is. I've seen far too many cartoon episodes using the format of a character expecting a party on their birthday, and going through emotional hell when all their friends pretend to not care or remember, just to "surprise" them.
Mango The Magician
Don't forget how in the japanese version of BOTW, all the "yous" in quest descriptions change to "I". So it's literally Link's own thoughts that you're reading.
...And what was the answer?
Well Miis and all other "avatar" examples do belong to Nintendo so...they are exempt but you can't say the same with 3rd party characters.
Yeah, thats whats people are afraid of. Nintendo following popular crazes because they are the "in" thing. Whats next a Fidget spinner as a playable character?If we get Steve on the account that he's popular with kids and is a big IP, it's only a matter of time till HE shows up

I don't see how adding Minecraft to Smash and openly supporting it otherwise are any different from their standpoint as a company.
Famous because he comes from a highly successful title played by millions in it's prime and still played by a pretty sizable audience today? Minecraft had an impact, it's notable, it still has a large audience making it still relevant today. Again I'm not even in favor of him, but all the arguments brought against Steve or Minecraft in general boil down to "I don't like it", "It's not what I want".
It's just, Nintendo also seems to love Minecraft, they even published a Creeper-themed 2DS. As a company, I don't think they would have any problem with asking Sakurai about adding him, and helping him do so, to try and reach maximum profit by gathering even more of a crowd.
Regardless it's an argument I've seen people try to make before. And just for clarity's sake, I've got nothing against FN either, I just don't think the two are comparable in the context being argued.
all the arguments FOR steve boil down to "hes famous" "his game made lots of $$$" "including steve can bring in lots of $$$" . Apparently its all about the $$$.
Um its the same thing. Including a character solely because its a current fad.
This makes me wonder what would happen if Dyblly saw a triple post now.
You must not have read the part of my post where I talked about the fact that MC does in fact have a legacy and does in fact still have a dedicated audience that have a genuine like of the game. Calling MC a fad after it's been around for 7 years is just flat out wrong. And where did I ever say "Nintendo should capitalize on MC's popularity and include Steve so they can make bank."
Except minecraft is more about its world than its characters, so a stage would be far more fitting.
I dunno I think it's literally just Steve.
I haven't been talking much on Steve but here's my two cents.
I guess; I just think, if anyone could make Steve work, it would be Sakurai and his team. I also just thought that a stage wouldn't be different than a character in regards to "following the latest craze."
Including steve because his game made bank over a charactee shantae who as you said known for her heart is of course why people are infuriated at the thought.
Oh it's Incineroar too. I just don't think it's wise to put down others for seemingly lacking obvious moveset potential when Sakurai magic is a thing. Maybe he'd even make Steve look radically different if it suited his purposes.
That's the one thing I don't get about Shantae. After everything she and Risky did together in Shantae 3, for all she believed by the end of Shantae 4, Risky caused Shantae's mother to die (until the very end where we learned it wasn't truly the case). But this meant Risky WAS willing to commit genocide. There is like ZERO good in her at this point. If in Shantae 5, Shantae still think's there's goon in her, she needs to think back on when Risky almost killed her mother.
I will say that any comparison between Steve and, say, Pac-Man, is laughable. Sure, both are big names that can be given something to work with, but Pac-Man has been an established household name for decades, and since the dawn of gaming history. Steve is the relative new kid on the block that'll most likely be treated like the flavor of the month in a few years from now.
It makes you wonder if, at some point, Shantae will pull a Goku and leave Risky to die, after Risky backstabs her despite being helped earlier.
