I think Travis Touchdown makes a lot of sense at this point.

I get that Halo isn't super popular in Japan but honestly with Microsoft's involvement in Smash and also Halo still heavily rumored to be coming to Switch, I still think it'd be a missed opportunity to not get Master Chief in. MC vs. Mario vs. Link vs. Cloud vs. Sonic...it'd like some kind of GameFAQs charcter battle come to life.

Like if there's any character to could top Cloud's reveal back in 2015, it'd be the Chief, at least to the western fanbase. I know Steve/Minecraft as a whole is more popular/well known worldwide, but unfortunately even with Banjo in, the hardcore Smash fanbase probably still wouldn't exactly be enthralled with his inclusion.

The ultimate proof that Steve isn't in is that none of the previous 80 characters have been terrible so it seems unlikely that Sakurai would start now.
Exactly.

This is why I can sleep easy tonight knowing that no matter who is revealed tomorrow, Sakurai's excellent taste will ensure that they're cool.

Wait Gamexplain are saying it's Pyra or Edelgard? Fuck yeah I hope they actually know something and they're both revealed as part of wave 2.

Edit: you all know it would be so cool if after wave 1 being only male 3rd parties Sakurai made wave 2 female 1sr parties. Pyra, Edelgard, Dixie, Impa, Captain Syrup or Ashley let's FUCKIN GO.
This would be amazing

The amount of vitriol Steve still gets is pretty funny even after Banjo got in. He's not a character I would be excited for but it wouldn't be hard to imagine how they could come up with a good moveset and stage for him, not even touching the legacy of Minecraft.

Is it just PTSD from Ugly Steve trolls? More letting people living in heads rent free?

Nah, I just think a Minecraft stage is the best representation for the game; something i've stuck for awhile now, even after Banjo's confirmation and release.

Why did Banjo get in, but not Crash Bandicoot?

It's literally just that I don't like his design and I don't want to have to look at it while playing Smash

I'd be fine with a Minecraft stage or Frog Girl as an MC rep.

Ugly Steve should actually be called "Uglier Steve", to reflect the fact that Steve is already very ugly

I just don't like him.

I've never cared for Minecraft at all, and his design sucks. Like, I'm not super fond of the likes of Arle or Hayabusa, but I can still see the appeal of having them in the game and I'm not against them, but with Steve it's just "Minecraft makes big money, so let's put this ugly non-character in Smash" which is lame.

MS character will be Master Chief but they are saving it in case All-Stars 2 is announced for ps5 launch, as the ultimate FU as Cloud was to the first.

His design doesn't suck. That's the way Minecraft's graphics WORK. If it wasn't all blocky, it would just be Legend of Zelda.

Mekanos and the discussion around Steve right here

Just don't like him either, no need to make any theories about creepy Steve or anything, I just think he looks like blocky booty, has no character at all and a dubious choice of shirt colour.

my twitter is much more dignified than that, you stupid fowl!
Well it is a low bar to clear so I can believe it

Well the wait is over tomorrow in part at least. Glad we have no idea who it is and look forward to the surprise of the reveal. Also hoping it releases in the next week and has a rocking song list

Hey now, I'm not exactly pro-Steve, I just can't summon up the energy to get upset over his inclusion in a post-Banjo world.
I won't be upset if Steve gets in either; Sakurai could make a fun moveset with him. Minecraft does have a place in the largest video game crossover of all time, I just wish that place was, well... literally just a place for the gaming all-stars to fight on.

Again, so sorry for starting the entire steve thing
You don't need to apologise for that.

We're always dunking on each other and potential characters in here anyway, it's 90% of this thread

I'd grumble and then move on I think, the first party DLC drought has at least freed me from falling into LIMITED SLOTS logic

I'd honestly hate Steve just because I think the only unique thing you could have him do, which is build, would be absolutely awful to play against or watch.

15 hours left, no leaks yet. I guess I'm leaving the internet in a few hours.

I got my Never Ever so I don't think I'm allowed to get huffy if someone I hate is picked.

But I would like to enjoy every character that gets in, or at the very least understand why they did, and so far that's gone as planned.
