Steve is a cool addition, but not particularly appealing to me (like the vast majority of the DLC fighters in this game).

Still waiting on single-player DLC. An addition to the World of Light, extra modes like Break the Targets or Board the Platforms, more Events, or something along those lines. New characters aren't going to get me to play again, and I LOVE Smash Ultimate.

 

[CrysisFreak]

Awful awful awful.
Literally the worst thing they could've done.

E3 2015: all dreams are true
Smash Bros Ultimate: all dreams were true

 

[bushidobrown504]

I threw up in my mouth.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It started as a joke, and it became reality lmao

 

[zombrex]

What about upcoming Nintendo games? Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity introduces Young Impa.

Nintendo has shown they love nothing more than to promote other games via the smash DLC and the base roster. While out of left field I think this guess is a high good possibility.

 

[MagiusNecros]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I am rather glad I set my expectations very low

 

[LordCBH]

Wow. What a waste of a character slot

 

[Mockingbird]

I hate this character's addition. I do like the music though. I completely get why he should be in but I still hate it.

 

[me0wish]

What's next? The llama from fortnite? The car from Rocket League? This shit is hilariously bad

 

[levyjl1988]

4 more character slots left.

Who is next? Dante? Shantae? Mipha? Geno? Waluigi? etc.

 

[sxodan]

edit: Of course he blocked me.

Minecraft Steve...

Everyone is so super salty. Makes me happy deep down in my heart. I love troll characters. And I love video game mascots. So I do like this pick (and my daughter is going to love it since she's obsessed with Minecraft).

Some people apparently wanted Dante or Jill/Leon?? LOLOL. You got TWO niche characters the general gaming population has almost certainly never heard of (Terry and Joker) and y’all salty over this super obvious, commercially sure bet pick??

Steve’s move set will be among the most unique among the cast and all I’m seeing is “I want SWORDGUY/SHOOTEYGUY #4623!1!1” Buncha crybabies.

The only mascot I would have wanted more would have been Doomguy. But Steve’s cool by me, too.

 

[Sp3eD]

Watched the trailer again, the actual character moves in smash are really awesome. You have to mine in order to get a sword (probably more powerful hit), you can build to get away or set up a trap area. Tons of ways to fling with the spring box or blow up your character (tnt).

if people can get past the Minecraft bias, this is one of the more inventive characters since hero

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Megaton!

 

[sn0man]

As it's Mario's 35th Birthday I'd like some Mario representation.

Shy Guy or Captain Toad/Toadette!

Captain toadette would have been pretty awesome!

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm just not buying the DLC now. I genuinely don't think they could have made a worse addition. Even Halo wouldn't have been as cringe-worthy.

 

[flibbertyjibbert]

zoomers in my smash reeeeeeee

 

[Dr.brain64]

Of course they went with the lowest polygon character ever.................

 

[InterMusketeer]

Disgusting. I'm happy I didn't buy the second pass now, I'd hate to support this inclusion.

 

[Barnabot]

Jones from Jones Barbecue and Foot Massage

can i have jones in smash ultimate instead? seems like a fun character to play.

 

[Codes 208]

Guys, guys. Guys...

at least it’s not another fucking FE character

 

[Jeeves]

 

[mejin]

True fighting game indeed.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Ninty thinks they can snag the (man)children with this.

 

[BattleScar]

I approve of this.

 

[sn0man]

Does this mean my dream of having a VF character is possible? Just triple the polygon count and we are there!

 

[Kadve]

Makes me want Clippit for some reason. Would be just as much of a curveball.

 

[BattleScar]

Ninty thinks they can snag the (man)children with this.

They already play this game, don't you worry about it.

 

[Jaruru]

Love these big IPs collab

 

[jshackles]

 

[Nikana]

Nailed it!!!......
Oh wait....
That's not Travis Touchdown...
Wankers....

Honestly makes sense but doesn't excite me one bit.

 

[The Pleasure]

Nothing brings people together like hating smash

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Not the most exciting entry but I like these collaborations with other games.

 

[Mistake]

Steve is a real dumb pick. Not a fan at all

 

[iconmaster]

Minecraft was an obvious omission given Smash Ultimate's broad scope and Minecraft's enduring popularity. Now, that will soon be rectified.

Sakurai said all (!) the stages had to be tweaked to accommodate placing blocks. It sounds like building will be a key mechanic for the Minecraft fighters, which makes these pretty intriguing.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Not a Smash fan, but that's pretty awesome. My son is going to lose it.

 

[Elcid]

Not a single one of Smash's DLC characters have compelled me to buy the character passes.

 

[Vawn]

Microsoft got two god damn smash characters. This is bullshit.

Minecraft is a Switch game too. There's lots of characters from third-party developers.

 

[Diddy X]

How is having the main character from the biggest game ever a trolling attempt?

 

[Jeeves]

Hyped for Fortnite guy next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[93xfan]

I’m actually okay with this. Looks interesting.

Hopes for the last 4 characters include:

Crash Bandicoot
Lara Croft
Leon Kennedy/Jill Valentine
Master Chief

All are iconic and would have such great music additions (especially Halo)

 

[Orky]

Nice, Starfield and the next elder scrolls for PS5 confirmed!

 

[Neff]

Absolutely atrocious pick

 

[nvalent4]

I thought Kazuma Kiryu would have been a shoe in by now but who knows. Maybe he will get announced later.

 

[RayHell]

Like it or hate it. It's the best selling game of all time and the 11th best selling franchise of all time in front of Final Fantasy and Zelda. This is huge and you can bet It makes a bunch of people happy.

I'd prefer Captain N or Mike from StarTropics.

Smash needs another semi-obscure Nintendo legacy character.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Nice.
I don't play Smash but it is one of the most recognizable characters these days.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Alot of broken dreams from the hardcore Weebs...... I would have never expected Steve to be in Smash Bros.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Resetera when it turns out that the character is not an obese black transgender with suicidal depression:
