Steve Rocks Smash! Steve (and Alex) Social Thread

[Simnm]

Minecraft is millions of peoples childhood and smash is a collection of everyone's childhoods.
Soooooooooooo it definitely deserves a spot on the roster as a newcomer.
He would have an extremely creative moveset. In fact, here is one I just threw together.
Up-B: Steve uses his fishing rod to tether to the ledge.
Neutral-B: Like Shulk's Monado selection expect its 6 different Minecraft weapons that are used until the durability runs out which makes his physical attacks worse because he is using his fists. The 6 weapons are Sword which has great damage but runs out quickly, Shovel which is standard but buries opponents when used, Axe which has great knockback and pretty good damage, Trident which is thrown at opponents and then quickly returns, Snowballs which do no damage and act like Squirtle's Neutral-B can be used to push opponents away, and Bow which fires arrows that are slower than links but more powerful.
Side-B: Steve rides on a minecart like Bowser Jrs side-B but it explodes when it hits an opponent.
Down-B: Steve places a lava bucket on the ground which spreads out and deals damage to opponents while slowing them.
His attacks all have a motion which is done but depending on what weapon Steve has chosen to use that attacks will do different effects.
I know it sounds like hell to program and design but think of the creative combos that use be used.
I can't wait for the day that a Steve main wins EVO.

I
i feel like the neutral B should switch inbetween blocks with different functions rather than weapons but i still like the idea of switching
inbetween weapons

It would be cool to have an option to transform every stage into a Minecraft version of them.

Sadly, it may be unlikely to happen.

More like impossible. That's way too much work for the developers.

Now I could see them having maybe a unique stage or two and for the owners of the IP to agree with the idea. Like the Super Mario Maker stage using that aesthetic.

Though I admit having an option among Stage Builder to use those kind of blocks would be cool too. As long as it's not the only Minecraft content, though. It deserves better than that.

...did you give Sakurai a bunny tail?

Lichzim could I Ben put on the support list please?

Wow! ok! I can see this theory happening!

Minecraft Spirit Idea time!

Creeper: Green Samus that prefers down specials, starts with a Bob-omb, and is assisted by a hostile Bomberman Assist Trophy. Support spirit that gives the player a Bob-omb at the start of battle.
Chicken: White colored Falco in which only Cuccos and Eggs and Bacon food spawns. Support Spirit that increases ranged attack power.
Enderman: Mewtwo in its Purple alt costume that starts with a Pokéball that always summons Abra. Primary 1 star Neutral spirit with Water Weakness.
Enderdragon: Purple Charizard that permanently breathes fire and has constant Super Armor. Primary Attack 4 star spirit that increases fire attack power.
Wither: Three Inklings in the Green alt costume (closest thing to skulls that I could find) that use Down Special constantly, has increased power, and heals when at critical damage (all fighters also start with 300% damage, but the Wither spirit heals it all immediately). Primary Grab spirit that increases shooting attack power.

That's all for now.

I feel like ridley fits more with the enderdragon

I forgot to post when I originally put up the video, but here's a moveset concept and general discussion for the man himself. Let me know what you think!

Your video was really well made

 

[TheFVguy]

I wonder what Steve's Final Smash would be?
Maybe the spawning an Ender portal and having the character facing the Ender Dragon? Or just a rain of TNT blocks?

His final smash could be creative mode but i prefer the final smash involving the enderdragon but i still like your ideas

 

[Captain Shades]

I will still go on record as saying Steve will get in and will probably be the third character shown with a big E3 reveal. My guess is that the next character will be Erdrik as the Dragon Quest rep, then Steve as the big E3 reveal with Minecraft Dungeons. After Steve, most likely Doom Slayer as the final spot, as I feel number 4 is up in the air.

 

[Simnm]

I wonder how many want steve in smash bros?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I just hope that if/when Steve does get in he gets a design overhaul. The pixelated low budget look fits the style of Minecraft but seeing something like that walk around in Smash when characters like Shovel Knight, Takamaru, Ice Climbers, etc. get full redesigned 3D models would be incredibly disappointing to me.

Though I admit having an option among Stage Builder to use those kind of blocks would be cool too. As long as it's not the only Minecraft content, though. It deserves better than that.

As disappointing as it sounds that is plausible. Some of the content of other games doesn’t even boil down to even that much. Some get only a spirit.

I feel like we should somewhat stick to the original design

But they were sprite characters to begin with, Steve already has a 3D model.

I can see development team giving him different textures and maybe more joints but that's it.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t be ok with that but I would love a truly updated version of Steve. I guess the blockiness of Minecraft should stay but I’d like for them to overhaul his design into a more, um, definitive(?) look. Something that can be really beautiful I suppose. A good ass looking character model.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I think it'd be weird if they changed Steve's model save for making it so his face can show emotion through pixel changes or the stuff done in Minecraft: Dungeons; this is mainly because I don't see Mojang changing the models in Minecraft at all, they even made the horse model more simplistic so it'd fit better.

tbh I'd also prefer his current blocky design, though I guess I'd probably end up loving whatever updates Mojang makes to the game's models if they ever actually do. I think he could fit Smash better if they base his design off of Minecraft's official artwork / merchandise, which cleans up his colors, but I'd like his ingame appearance just the same.

These are nice references.

Also, can you put them into spoilers? Multiple videos make it hard browsing for mobile users.

They did anyone realize that minecraft was anounced for the xbox game pass a few days ago?

I read that a few days ago myself. Makes the "dig" comment hilarious in hindsight. And even then, I don't believe it was meant as a hint. ...If it is, though, that's even funnier.

 

[Deleted member]

So with cuphead coming to the switch and Nintendo all like “with our friends at Microsoft” I looks to me a Microsoft rep is guaranteed at this point and who better than Steve to join?

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, Steve or Microsoft stuff in general getting in Smash is way more likely now after Turok, Cuphead and Xbox Live.

Maybe we even get two Microsoft reps who knows.

I love these so much. I really want to see what Sakurai could do with Steve, there's a lot of potential. Especially given how much source material can be pulled from.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Steve is looking more and more likely. Also, nice animations.

 

[Opossum]

I've been thinking about how to incorporate a crafting mechanic into Steve's moveset. Right now, I'm toying with the idea of Steve's main weapon being a pick axe, and each time he strikes the opponent, there's a chance of "mining" some ore. As more ore is obtained, Steve can gain things like armor, eventually leading up to the Diamond Armor. This promotes aggressive play over camping, which might be otherwise easy to do for a "mining" based playstyle, as it would give defensive benefits from offensive play.


Just something I've been thinking about that could be a neat concept.

 

[Deleted member]

Steve just digs this blessed tune of a game.

 

[Wunderwaft]

If Steve gets in then I hope they incorporate building blocks as part of his moveset. It wouldn't do him justice if they left it out.

I was thinking the same thing. He's standard attacks would generate collectible materials, either appearing on the stage or going directly into his "inventory," which he could then use in his special moves to craft/upgrade weapons or items or use the materials to build structures, like temporary platforms, to affect the stage. This would not only make him unlike any fighter, obviously, but also open up room for some new and creative strategies.

Plus, if he's able to craft armor that increases his defenses, it doubles as a neat implementation of Minecraft's Survival theme in addition to it's Crafting theme. I'd love if he were made like that.

Knowing Sakurai's desire to bring out the core essence of a character/game, I couldn't see him portrayed any other way. Bringing in the survival element would even further capture how Minecraft is played.

Im not really a supporter but I came to see the other side of the fence so to speak.

I know these videos are jsut fan ideas/intepretations but it just furthers my thoughts that Steve aesthetically and design wise just does not fit in Smash. They all just looked so awkward and jarring in a bad way. I like the ideas presented but I HATE how they look.

If just want to say you don't like Steve in Smash, this is the wrong thread for it.
