​

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.

I meant it more in like, when the fuck will Nintendo allow other companies to do stuff with their IPs? In a matter that's not limited to their system/company.
If Microsoft allowed for both Steve and Banjo Kazooie to be in Smash, when will Nintendo finally stop being the overprotective douches they are and let Microsoft do something with theirs?

Do what though? They don’t have a crossover fighting game like Nintendo does

Hopefully nothing cause they would make something like an edgy reboot of Mario

Mario is untouchable.

Maybe the companies ask MS to slap the characters for some advertising?
That would make sense for Nintendo to impose the selections on Sakurai and say: "Make this work."

at the same time, microsoft never made those 2, they bought them...so it's kind of an odd situation

To do whatever, you don't have to be so closed box to think characters can only appear in a fighting game as cameo material.
The point here is Nintendo is still not allowing the use of the IPs, while companies like Microsoft are way too kind to do such a thing.

I mean I think Nintendo is kinda wary after what they did to banjo

 

[DJPlace]

so it is true..... also a let down... i don't care for mine craft then again i don't own a swtich.

 

[pedro702]

Bringing in a Microsoft character. hell yeah!

banjo is already there lol so licensed microsoft characters at this point lol.

all in all its a highly requested character and much better than any more FE character that sakurai just loves to throw in.
never played minecraft but steve seems preety unique and looks like a dope moveset.

...It's not goddamn 1st april...

Eh, at this point, why not add Goku and Shrek since they've been asked so much? Put in Kratos and Master Chief too, Doomguy...
You know what? Fuck it. Fuck this game and fuck Sakurai too. Smash has become a farce.
If I want to play this game, I'd just download Mugen.

sakurai standards make it impossible to do what you want.

he always said
1- it must be a charatcer originated on a videogame(so no goku,shrek)
2- the character needed to already to have appeared on a Nintendo console before(no kratos or master chief)

 

[The Catboy]

They did it! They did the meme!

 

[LegoAnakin]

This made me feel so good after all the shit that's been happening in the world

What about Cloud? I don't play FF but I don't think he has been

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

I’m a bit confused on how they’re going to do his moveset, Minecraft combat is a bit simplistic

Ff7 got ported to switch i think

cloud appear on kingdom hearts chain of memorys on the gba and other 3ds game i dont recall, but yeah it did appear.

 

[BlueFox gui]

yeah ff7 got ported to switch but cloud has been in since ssbu and there are 3 games where cloud appeared on nintendo consoles before
kingdom hearts chain of memorys on the GBA
FINAL FANTASY EXPLORERS 3ds
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy 3ds

 

[VinsCool]

I'm certain that those two characters are never going to get in, as they are not characters whose original/intended media is a video game. The only rule that I have ever confirmed for a character to get in as a fighter is to originate from a video game. Forget about characters from books, movies, TV shows, or anything else that isn't a video game.

Don't worry, I know

I was being semi serious with that statement.
People who asked for Steve were in the same gang who asked for Goku, Shrek and Sans, ironically or not, it's just how funny it is.

Theatrhythm is fucking amazing and I’m sad this is the most I’ve seen someone mention it

I would like to play with Digimon.

What the fuck is a digimon
