It's such a limited way of thinking...It's crazy. I never got where these supposed rules come from, since the only real established rules are no non-video game characters (except R.O.B. since he counts as a video game sort of...)
Except even that "rule" has never been followed as Samurai has toyed with the idea of James Bond being added. The only reason he hasn't added outside characters like that is simply because of how messy getting the licenses would be. It's all a matter of practicality instead of principle, and I'm certain we would have gotten someone like Goku had he not been held behind having to negotiate multiple unrelated businesses to get permission for him.
Actually, as Sakurai writes in his Book, this rule is actually one he follows. He deconfirms all characters like Goku saying Smash is a purely gaming crossover. (Gamexplain even did a vid on that https://youtu.be/qGSEZm8WRVc)
Nice.
Yes it is indeed the same thread. I've given SneakyLink the thread due to me being admittedly inactive on this site. That and I don't use the site very often so giving it to a more active member just seems like the right thing to do. Hopefully Steve can DIG his way into smash and we can all play as our favorite blocky miner.
The reasons were pretty much all licensing and realistic firearms. That "rule" didn't come up till Brawl's development, when he spoke specifically of characters who are eligible as 3rd parties.
While licensing problems may play a part in why it hasn’t happened, from what Sakurai wrote it’a clear that he personally doesn’t want non-gaming characters in smash, so that’s the only rule that we know for a fact he follows
Which doesn't mean it existed yet at all.
I mean, I can see how it’s not clear how it was before Brawl, so maybe Bond would’ve gotten in if the copyright situation was simpler, but we do have clear evidence that at least right now Sakurai won’t let non-gaming characters in

now that we have a proper supporter list could you add me to it?
You say that, but look at the DLC for Smash 4. I guarentee you why Banjo-Kazooie were added in was to shut up the west, same reason why Ridley was added in.
It's a really well done video that showcases how Steve would look like fighting. Although I'm a bit disappointed that the video didn't incorporate crafting as part of the moveset. Also add me to the supporter list as well.
I personally don’t like the usage of the plastic skin for Steve. It looks wayyyyy worse than normal Steve imo and I don’t think it would look good in Smash either.
I really like this, though I think crafting could be incorporated in some way, and building blocks could be restricted to the neutral special; this is also the video I mentioned having 60k likes and only almost 1k dislikes, and I see it's gone up by 11k likes and only about 200 dislikes.
I like the moveset, but in all honesty, I do expect more weapon usage and stuff. A moveset I made has Steve use one block but being able to use it as a movable projectile (a reference to Kragg from RoA). Realistically, I don't see two moves utilizing building.
Speaking of, I had a dream that Spider-Man was the last character to make it in. My mind was blown.
I'm hoping for Keanu Reeves, personally.
Meh. If you really want Steve in Smash, I don't see any issue with asking about him.
Go ahead and ask them, Banjo didn't get the big momentum he had until people asked Phil on twitter and he replied.
I've seen more and more people picking the game back up again. As of March the game has over 90 million active people playing it monthly, so suffice to say the game has been getting more popular as time went on.
Added to the support list!
I saw Vanoss make a video of the game today. IT says something when the site of that triggered alarm bells and made me look into this more. It also says something when there was a ton of stuff in the video that I did not recognize. I really have been away for too long. Glad to hear that the increase in popularity is likely due to the expansion of the brand.
Steve. The character isn't really a Class in Minecraft itself. Minecraft Dungeons is its own thing. Steve's counterpart, who actually has a different design(but same proportions like many skins are meant to be), is Alex. It'd make sense to be a Wii Fit Trainer split in this case. Or if you will, Olimar/Alph.
Doesn't Alex have a ever so slightly smaller build, though? Probably irrelevant, because Alph (suit and all) is smaller than Olimar.
Slightly, but it's still an interchangeable skin. A lot of them are easy to do. The skins overall are the same proportions. Just like the Echoes are. Or many of the alt costumes.
Her arms are three pixels wide instead of four, but their other dimensions are the same so it shouldn't be a problem.
I'd be disappointed if they didn't use Steve's name, but hey if we get him we get him. I guess "Minecrafter" would make sense if they somehow got skins from players or used random skins like mobs and such, but I'd just expect Steve and Alex maybe Herobrine.
The corrupt beacon and the hammer would be cool, but I wouldn't mind if they stuck with basic Minecraft.
