I'd gladly do it if Sakurai deleted her from the game!

Just popping in to say Steve would be hideously out of place visually in this game. His model is literally just six squares of varying shapes, and there's no prettying it up to make it look nicer or less out of place. Even Game and Watch got smoothed out for the modern era, but you can't smooth out Steve without making him not Steve, so he's always going to be an eyesore.
I don't want him anywhere near playable for that reason alone. At most, make him an Assist Trophy or stage element on the much-better-representative-of-the-game destructible Minecraft stage.
Is it verg's new stuff that makes us all think Steve will be playable? Or just the trend of the moment?
I wouldn't mind if they can't use Simple and Clean if Sora did get in, but what about this version?
I mean, sure, Sakurai could make him "fit", but no matter what, Steve would by far be the biggest eyesore in the roster. If Sakurai wants to be accurate to his original appearance, which is one of his modus operandi, Steve's gonna be the same six block golem that looks ugly as is in Minecraft, let alone put into a game with character models as nice as Smash. Even worse would be if they tried to go for a Telltale Minecraft Story Mode look. Eugh.Blows my mind that someone still thinks Sakurai wouldn't be able to make any character fit in Smash after all these years.

Remember, echos do count, this is the base game and you are allowed to either switch teams or opt out.
If any of these update post is after your post and I did not Include you or I put you in the wrong team, then please PM to add you in (same goes for if you want to opt out or anything like that). Also for those asking about what the avatar would be.....I'm still deciding that but it will do with the last character revealed (if its just 2 then its the 2nd character and if its more than 2 then the 3rd character revealed) if that gives you an idea of what to come.
So this is looking a bit one sided....
Squeenix tax tho... You'll get these two and love it.I wouldn't mind if they can't use Simple and Clean if Sora did get in, but what about this version?
Vergeben said that some of his Smash related sources claimed Minecraft is in as a stage/AT, but that his non-Smash related ones claimed there might be a playable character, which lines up with what the Samurai Spirits leaker claimed - the both of whom have conversed privately and deduced that they both have somewhat similar sources. Vergeben's comments about the truth possibly being somewhere in between the lines sounds kinda like a thinly veiled attempt to cover all bases.Hey up what's the latest rumors gimme that hot goss.
What's this about Steve please for the love of god no why are people treating it like it's a real possibility set me on fire
4 months? the game comes out at the beginning of december and we're going to know everyone before launch.Yeah I'm also on Team More Than Two.
No way they botched the reveal schedule that bad. 8 characters by August and then only three more for the remaining four months? I'm not buying it.
We'll most likely know in less than two months if they don't want early copy leaks.4 months? the game comes out at the beginning of december and we're going to know everyone before launch.
"Anyone other than Ken and Incineroar joins the battle!"I want a Robin-level swerve character that puts holes in every leak out there.
Also something I forgot to mention in the last post,
Vergeben's non-Smash info has almost always been consistently wrong. He makes an important distinction on where he heard what Minecraft details from, but all the times he's attempted to leak info from non-Smash games it's always been heavily misinformed to some degree. Raditz and Zarbon in FighterZ DLC? Wrong. Switch version of SCVI with Fire Emblem characters? Wrong. SFV Season 3? Absolutely 110% super wrong infinity turbo + 1. The one time he can claim he was correct on anything was Injustice 2.
The only reason we've trusted him this time is because his Smash-related info has actually been on point. Even the mention of a Square Enix rep came from someone he claims to has a habit of "never being wrong". Any information about Minecraft that comes to him from non-Smash related sources isn't really worth entertaining, at least imo.
Hot take: Box theory is real, an intern at corocoro is going to be fired, Vergeben remains (mostly) rightVergeben said that some of his Smash related sources claimed Minecraft is in as a stage/AT, but that his non-Smash related ones claimed there might be a playable character, which lines up with what the Samurai Spirits leaker claimed - the both of whom have conversed privately and deduced that they both have somewhat similar sources. Vergeben's comments about the truth possibly being somewhere in between the lines sounds kinda like a thinly veiled attempt to cover all bases.
Said leaker also said they only have theories on who the Square Enix rep might be, no one wants to give a hard name on who it is because jobs would be in danger if it was found out. That kind of comment makes it sound like it's way bigger than Geno, so people are back to discussing Sora again, especially after a deleted Hashimoto tweet responding to a fan asking for support - although it could also be a DQ rep.

I look at as if it may make Banjo more likely as DLC if Sakurai wants it. If they'll work with MS to use Minecraft, then whats the problem for negotiating their other IP's? I have no problem for Steve, but for those who want B&K, just see it as a compromise to raise their chances.I've already accepted Incineroar being included over Decidueye, but Steve getting in before Banjo & Kazooie would be heartbreaking for me. I don't want to be selfish considering I already got Ridley and K. Rool this game, but if two of my other most-wanted characters get shafted like that right in a row i'll be pretty salty.

Come on, knowing you, I thought you'd pick the ultimate swerve...
There is definitely a complaint to be had with the idea of adding characters just because they're popular. Smash then stops being about fun and interesting characters and more about whoever's fandom can screech the loudest.
The thing about Steve is that he is one of the few characters that I actively don't want to see in Smash. Minecraft definitely deserves recognition in Smash (even before BK, as much as I want them) but I really don't think a playable character is necessary. At most, I think we should get:I look at as if it may make Banjo more likely as DLC if Sakurai wants it.

Sign me up in "just two" team. This is gonna be the most satisfying crow serving in ERA's history so far.
Remind me to give you a crow-themed avatar when you lose this bet.Sign me up in "just two" team. This is gonna be the most satisfying crow serving in ERA's history so far.
The only problem with Suzuho is that she's too good. You would need separate movesets for all of her big costumesWow. Reading the previous pages of the thread and there was a lot of negativity and hostility because of Steve from Minecraft.
Perhaps we should go back to discussing a character that the whole thread likes.
Of course not, I just need to comfort my lonely bitter soul *breaks down*Even if you're right, what's satisfying about it? Do you want less characters?
Hey, I do like crows for what it's worth!Remind me to give you a crow-themed avatar when you lose this bet.
I can't really think of any out there characters not covered by rumors. Incineroar, Ken, a Square character (Sora), a Namco character (Goku). Who else is there?Come on, knowing you, I thought you'd pick the ultimate swerve...
