What would your genuine reaction be if a character like Sans or Steve(Minecraft) got into Smash?

I would be very disappointed by either, especially Sans though. The undertale mundertale memes have just been done into the ground and you can chalk that up to me not liking the fanbase, but I dont even think the game itself is all that great tbh. I just dont really want to see the fallout and I dont think either would be very interesting moveset wise. Now you can even argue the wii fit trainer anyle, but the major difference is nobody was really pulling for wft, it was random dumb fun. These two have established fanbases with active pull, if they get in its not random fun, but pandering to those crowds, at that point it loses its dumb fun excuse because they arent putting in for that randomness value anymore
Steve would be fine, Minecraft is one of the biggest games in the world. Sans on the other hand... looks like everyone is gonna have a bad time.
Sans hasn't earned his way in, as much as I love Undertale.
Minecraft's level of success is nearly unprecedented in the industry, though, and the only individual game to have sold more copies already has music representation in Smash. If Sakurai can make an interesting moveset for Steve, let him in.

I think the difference there is that Villager, as well as the likes of Robin and Corrin, are just ordinary first party Nintendo characters. They don't need to be a big deal.
Third party inclusions on the other hand should be, I think. Nondescript avatar characters like Steve and Monster Hunter just don't feel like appealing guest fighters in the same way established characters like Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Ryu, Cloud and Simon all do.
Im not against Steve. It might be odd at first but he has been on wii u, 3ds and switch. And he is a gaming icon, even if i dont really like minecraft.
Id much rather Jibanyan, Shovel Knight, the Knight from Hollow Knight or Rusty from Steam World Dig
I also think it would be awsome to play as a shape shifting Tetris block

Ewwww. No. Just no.
Villager was the sole rep from a big first party franchise, one where you see your character the whole time instead of the equivalent of a less interesting Gordon Freeman. Its not comparable.
Steve might be an avatar but he is also widely known and recognizable as any of the characters you mentioned.
Adding 3rd party characters (if you can even call steve one) just because they're from a huge multiplat IP is not what Smash is about at all.
How in the world did you extrapolate that from what he said?
I'd be conflicted if Steve got in - a lot of kids would be very happy, but I'd rather Notch not get celebrated in Smash.
Sans though? No issues. Yeah people can make unfunny "lol sans sucks" memes, but he'd be a great character representing a great game.

And 50% of kids online would pick him. Please no.
I'd rather have Master Chief (the stage music alone would make it worth).
Kids online would pick a FE character because guys with swords "are cool".
Big giant meh from me
Never played undertale, so Sans wouldn't really get a reaction from me
And Steve would actually make me disappointed. I would then keep asking myself: "If Nintendo was able to talk to Microsoft to get a character in Smash, why Steve? Why not get Banjo and Kazooie instead?"

how? his entire existence as a smash character is just a bastardization of everything about Undertale for what should be obvious reasons.
Remember that one time he actually fights in Undertale and what that meant? Papyrus makes more sense, and even then, fighting in that game was designed to be the antithesis of fun.
Sans is a side character from one game, who isn't even owned by Nintendo.
Steve is a wooden block with no personality.
Now let me tell you why Geno deserves to be playable...

That's a weird situation. Generally speaking, I thought that doing dialogue and evading enemy attacks was really fun. The genocide path was a grindy anti-fun path though.
I know Undyne or Papyrus or Metaton would be a better thematic fit, but they will go for Sans if Undertale is represented (big IF) because he's the most iconic character in Undertale.
Isn't that just because of memes? Papyrus played a bigger role in the game unless you did that very optional fight. If they're adding a fighting character from Undertale, then an evil player character/Frisk with glowing eyes makes the most sense maybe.
I feel Smash bros has a very different definition of "fighting" than Undertale. Nobody's being killed, no pain's being felt. Hell, previously non-combative characters like Wii Fit Trainer and Isabelle can join in. People clap at the end.
(And yeah, memes are one big reason, but also Megalovania being the most popular Undertale track helps)
I still feel like its easier to hand wave characters like isabelle fighting because their games didn't have a very overt anti violence theme
its 100% intrinsic in Undertale both narratively and mechanically. Snake gets the exact same ending regardless of how many people he kills and its just a bonus achievement otherwise.
I only played a few FE games, but permadeath was like a huge part of the game.
I would be completely disgusted if either of those characters were playable. Thankfully Sakurai is a smart man and would find a better way to represent those two series in Smash, or not at all.
Smash discussion has gotten really weird these past few weeks. Sans and Steve? Are you guys serious?

not bad, but seeing how Bethesda carries the nintendo brand on its back...
