People have already considered that Steve might have the best online taunt by building L's on the stage. That's not a strategy but it's still worth considering. What I'm curious about is what kind of combo of blocks and TNT can you ledge trap with.
Inkling too. Other vertical recoveries will also have a tough time coming back to stage.
I think this can be seen in the compilation of Steve in 4 player battles near the end.
Lol, looks like the tracks get put in the air, at least a few
Strong agree with the hazards off thing. But I'm okay with the decision, adds another layer to banning stages and will make him a bit more interesting, if he wasn't already super complex. Would like for it to be changed in the future, but for now I can deal with it.
Two reasons.
1.i dont think that is a good reason since there are tracks like environmental noises and the animal crossing soundtracks they also could be remixed
It's probably the most accurate-to-games character we've had in a very long time, if you take a screenshot of an eight player Steve battle on Minecraft World most would have a hard time telling if it's Smash or a Minecraft PvP arena. We're very lucky to have such an accurate character and a fun one at that, and we should appreciate how much Sakurai poured into making them as close to the source games as possible. You shouldn't feel sad, you can want other things but having such an accurate character and one from a game you love is nothing to complain about.
Well being able to place blocks anywhere in the air isn't kind of accurate. That's one thing Im gonna have to see if it makes sense for smash, people will be able to stall in the air.
Depending on what you get for those stages yeah it'll be a disadvantage for them, because iron seems to be the most important resource, if really wood is what mostly comes from smashville and town and city, it'll be hard to get the stage you want sometimes, since the meta for stages shouldnt change just because of one character.
If you play against steve, you'll ban FD/BF forms, so that you have an advantage. It'll probably always be hard for steve to have a resource advantage.
TBH we'll likely never get to play on Lylat
since they're gonna ban that whenever they can. So I guess the main stratedgy for our opponents will be to ban Lylat and BF/FD forms in match 1, and if they win against him they'll ban BF/FD. If we win we'll pretty much be forced to ban SV and TnC to avoid being stuck with wood, at that point they'll choose his worst stage in terms of positioning and inability to zone and set up traps and whatnot. Essentially we have to ban the wooden stages whenever we can unless we feel confident in our ability to work with the resources we get.
Honestly the best thing we can hope for is that it doesn't matter as much, like if skill trumps materials for example. And if it is a factor as big as Sak made it out to be, then we'll do our best to be vocal about it so that hazards off makes it like BF and FD forms in a future update.
Yeah. Definitely something like that.TBH we'll likely never get to play on Lylat
TNT uses stone and dirt; I’m not sure if the wood stages give much or any, I just recall seeing wood blocks on Kongo Jungle 64 alongside iron and stuff.
In that case, the wood stages will be pretty bad for steve, and you'll mostly be relying on basic tactics. Someone will have to get used to using just those sometimes. but it's their basic kit, so someone should get good with it anyway.
That's fair. It could've been an actual Link clone like how he was referred to before getting in. Sad was a bit melodramatic, but yeah, I see what you mean.
Well, thing is, Steve's blocks also seem to have a sort of "Mario block" mechanic to them, i.e. they can be broken by jumping into them.
I doubt that they'll change it, knowing them. But c'mon we barely know the character as it is.
Aren't you able to get any material on any surface? I'm pretty sure its just the rates that change. What I'm really worried about is the misc stages, even though none of them seem competitively viable; because sand and the like seems to do absolutely nothing for Steve, so fighting on a stage like that might cripple steve.
We don"t know yet if sands are useless or not.
