    In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Steve is one of the most complex character with some of the most complicated systems ever put into a fighting game. Today, we pick our way through the cobblestone to get to the bedrock of his moves. Does pressure make a Diamond? Or will it... uh... fall apart like... gravel....?

    I cant put into words how incredible the crouch spamming is.
    They put a move in this game, that was created by the players, rather than the MC devs. Yeah sure they put crouching into the game, but they didnt directly tell the players "hey, spam this to say hi or bye to other players".

    I have to confess. One of my favorite things was watching popular streamers pick up the game for the first time when the game got popular in the mainstream stream communities. The amount of rage and frustration as they made the most avoidable mistakes, coming from a veteran player, was cathartic. Not because I wanted them to have a bad time, but because I got to witness a rite of passage; the quintessential moments all minecraft players go through learning to play the game. And yeah, I did lol hard, but what are you going to do when a newby cockily mines diamonds with a stone pick while bragging about it?

They could have used the emotes that were recently added to Bedrock edition as a money grab for his taunts, but they didn't. They based his taunts off of gestures that players do.

      If you can't come up with a goal for yourself, download a modpack, or adventure map. Java is the superior version because of the community Minecraft built up over its ten years. There's no shortage of amazing mods or maps. The only thing we're short on is people willing to pull mods into newer versions.

    Worth noting that, since Steve's taunts are multiplayer gestures, he knows what he's doing in Smash and considers the other fighters to be PvP opponents. Not just that, but they're *friendly* gestures (yes even the teabag), which means Steve is one of the most friendly and humble fighters in Smash.

    I’m surprised people don’t know this, especially since Sakurai mentioned it in his video about Steve. The “t-bag” taunt isn’t a t-bag, in Minecraft that’s a gesture you make to say “hello” or to say “I’m friendly” when you’re in a multiplayer server. If someone walks up to you and you want to team up, say hi, or communicate you’re not a threat, crouching and uncrouching rapidly is just the thing that’s developed within the community as a way to say that. It’s even called the universal sign of peace online. The other taunt that isn’t him eating serves the same function but for people farther away, since jumping and punching makes you more obvious.

Sadly Dante didn't make it in, but still I got a lot if characters I liked, Ultimate offered me Byleth, Terry, Kazuya and Sephiroth, the only thing I wish was never made is Min Min but stiff can't be perfect

    This gave me chills, it's so true.
    They could have put tons of things, like using a bow, a trident, potions, chests, water buckets (that should definitely be a tech animation), enderpearl (that could also be a roll animation, maybe ?), snowballs, golems and stuff
    But they managed to make a moveset that feels exactly like Minecraft, using stuff that almost everyone is familiar with. They didn't put a character from a game in smash. They put a character that represents you playing that game in smash. His smash gameplay is like playing Minecraft. Even his playstyle is like Minecraft, setting stuff that allow you to defeat monsters more easily with the tool you also created.
    I wanted to talk about the battles of his classic mode route and how accurate to the original game they are too. The spirits battles aren't as much as them tho.
    I think both Steve and Sora derserve the place of the last amash dlc, but putting Steve before Sora was a clever choice, breaking the internet with the hypest reaveal (looking at Twitter's fall), bringing back the attention lost with Byleth and Min Min (who are cool characters, don't get me wrong, just not really hype compared to the 9 others) and giving even more hope fo the 4 last dlc while still making Sora's possible inclusion uncertain (because of Disney). The opposite wouldn't work as well.
    I think I said everything I wanted to. Thanks for this awesome video, I love it. ❤

    The crouching up and down is actually a common gesture to signify being friendly! More than a teabag is to show you are either new or don't want to fight. Before it was the sword block combined with crouching too. Then got changed for the combat update.
    And jumping and swinging are just ways to try to get spotted by your friends you pay with!
    It does look neat and fun for how it works and I really enjoy it.
    Also your discussion about saying that you want an end goal. Had you ever imagined crafting your endgoal? Even if you want a straight path. I understand you find it bizarre to do something and what would be the purpose of it. Like, why build a house or a city or anything when you could just put a bed in the open with a light?

      @@themanysirs1814 The video might've been a premiere, so perhaps it wasn't viewable yet. Either that or some people like to predict things before watching in general.

    I honestly think that Steve’s final smash was inspired by early and mid 2010’s videos. It just carries that essence of those videos.

    Steve and co is probably the most unique fighting game characters people will probably see for a while. Everything about them breaks what would be considered possible in a fighting game, and the fact that it is implemented well, not perfect, but well, shows the dedication the smash team have.
    I particularly love Steve and Co's playstyle. Mind you I am far from an expert, put they seem to be very much some form a control fighter. As in they need to quickly determine the pace of the fight to there advantage. While that may seen as a no brainer to all characters, Steve and Co are especially equipped to handle that in their move set. I especially love it when a good Steve sets up a bunch of block a they forward smash their opponent into a rubgolberge machine of block, culminating in them somehow being spiked into the smash zone.

    Steve was my dream character for Smash and seeing all of the love and dedication Sakurai and his team but into his moveset is incredible. It felt amazing to experience what it is like to have your number one most wanted character join the battle!!!

    Honestly, just steve's grab is broken, then combo it with some tnt, and you have yourself a really really top tier fighter.

    great video , I think you understood the rough spirit of the game : simple on the outside (and even a bit boring for some players) but EXTREMELY deep at the core to the point that you couldn't comprehend how deep it is if you didn't stick with the game for a while

    Steve STILL looks like a fucking mod to me dude. Of all the characters in Ultimate, he will always look the most out of place, in the best way possible.

    Imagine a nether map where Steve's sleeping animation is changed and instead of sleeping, he's standing crouched on the bed staring into his opponent's soul. "You thought I would fall for the old exploding bed in the nether trick?"

    You know what's funny, the part where you can ignite TNT with your fits can probably be seen as another reference to when before flint and steel was implemented into the game, you would be able to set TNT off just by right-clicking it.
