As much as I dislike the idea of Steve getting in the game, there is a metric ton of moveset potential that is just ripe for the taking. Possible mechanics could include:
- A special that allows him access to a radial inventory that works not unlike Shulk's Monado Arts. He can cycle through and pick out stuff like an axe, a sword, a shovel, a pick, etc, each with different properties that interact with other stuff and are also upgradable.
- A move where he chucks different kinds of blocks. He can use these blocks as pseudo platforms, projectiles (only active as they're thrown), makeshift wall/shield...list goes on. He can also farm these blocks and break them down into component parts and resources to upgrade his equipment (see above). They spawn in a set rotation (going in order, like clay, rock, coal, bejeweled, etc)
- He could plant trees, chop at 'em with an axe, and get wood for...something. I dunno Minecraft too well, or how you could incorpate that element specifically, but yeah.
There is a TON of stuff you could do with him, and tbh, Sakurai could pull it off
