​

Who will possibly be revealed? The latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character is just about to be announced at 7am PT/3pm BST. The livestream will be a short one, clocking in at only three minutes, though we will get a "brief message" from the man himself, Sakurai, directly after it. Be sure to tune in, or keep an eye on this thread to see who gets picked as the latest roster addition to Smash.

And the big reveal is Steve from Minecraft! Don't let your memes be dreams, as it's finally come true. There's a village stage that takes place in different biomes.

But wait, Zombie and Enderman also join the battle? And Alex, all as echo fighters, or costumes. It's unclear.

Sakurai asks, what exactly did we just watch. Well, he explains that Nintendo approached him with the idea of adding a Minecraft character. He says it took absolute wizardry to get Steve into the game. While some things were easy, it was the programming of the actual character that made things difficult, as his attacks involve placing blocks.

Sakurai will have a video on October 3rd where he'll show more off about the characters.

Yeah, and I'm sure it's another boring ass FE character

 

[Chary]

WOW they did it. The madman.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Well, at least it's not another shitty FE character...right?

 

[the_randomizer]

Well, at least it's not another shitty FE character...right?

Yeah, no kidding

Steve from Minecraft? I don't have any strong opinions about this but ohhh boy am I excited to hear people with extremely strong opinions screaming about it from both sides.

 

[julianuf]

Gross. Easily the worst possible outcome. Oh well, it'll make them money and that's what it's all about I guess.

 

[RyRyIV]

Well I am thoroughly whelmed at this announcement

 

[DSoryu]

This will divide the fanbase as always, but saltier.

 

[RyRyIV]

Gotta love how not even Sakurai seemed excited for this character

 

[Deleted User]

Oh, man, I am stoked to play as minecraft against metroid, zelda and green mario! No, seriously, what the fuck is this? lol

 

[Alato]

Main character from the most popular video game of our time? Seems like a no-brainer for me.

/ I like how that 3 min Sakurai video was literally just him complaining about Nintendo tossing this on him

 

[MajinCubyan]

The Enderman staring at Snake in the box might have been the highlight of the video.

 

[anhminh]

What get me hype is Sakurai live stream Minecraft on Oct 3. Also this must be why Microsoft so awfully nice to Nintendo lately.

Sakurai basically said "Don't get mad at me. Nintendo made me put him in."

 

[SkittleDash]

When it comes to Smash DLC, there's always going to be salty fans. Doesn't matter which character they bring.

 

[Exaltys]

Figures, another sword fighter /s

 

[Issac]

It's a good one in my opinion. Not my favorite character, but it's fresh. It's a huge character. Nice.

 

[relauby]

Gotta love how not even Sakurai seemed excited for this character

"The wizardry required to make it work in this game...it's impossible!"

That video was pretty awesome honestly, yeah

 

[Meteor7]

Nintendo making the most cynical, corporate decisions for poor ol' Sakurai. The meme was funny because it was a bad idea. Now it's just a sad reality.
