"It's a dream come true, just not my dream come true." I hope this is a attitude people can develop going forward. Smash Ultimate I think is brilliant with it's stance on "Everyone is here!" and the fact that it's such an open ended topic in of itself. Everyone is indeed here and we've seen some unique characters since DLC pack 1. I personally didn't expect Joker or Hero, and my brain is still stuck on "jdhnfgjkdfng TERRY IS IN SMASH!" I wasn't the most hyped for Min Min having never played Arms, but I still was willing to try and give her a shot. I'm thinking Steve is going to be one of those character that'll bring just a lot of chaos and randomness to a battle, and honestly I like that idea.
Monsieur Hadou to be fair, there’s been “chaos and randomness” in Smash ever since Melee (Luigi’s Misfire, Peach’s DownB, and G&W’s Hammer). The only thing that looks random with Steve so far is the items he can dig up and use for crafting, which isn’t all that crazy relatively speaking (especially with Hero in the game)
Monsieur Hadou smash wasn’t originally made to be a competitive fighting game. I think we should all be open minded. After all Smash is a celebration of videogames and Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time. It would be blasphemy for them to not include the best selling videogame of all time in smash. Minecraft is a fun game that really anyone can enjoy. I’m sure most of the people in this comment section have played Minecraft before and If you haven’t then your missing out on an experience that you can’t get from any other game. I’m ready to welcome Steve into smash with open Arms because he deserves to be here.
This, this is fact. I could understand the hype for Terry because I've seen many people play KoF whenever I go to Mexico. I never grew up with the game or characters, but I still thought he was a great entry to the series (fun as hell to play as too). Sans and Steve were what made me freak out (despite Sans being a mii gunner costume) because I had strong attachments to them from memes and personal experiences from the games. It's okay to be dissatisfied (like Min Min for me), but hating on a character and the people hype for said character is sad to see.
If you look closely, in the span of a single second, you can see Max's face undergo the five stages of grief, then loop all the way right back to denial
Bro, I’m pissed at how he comments this negatively and yet became a screaming child when Sephiroth came out. He thinks of this as a disappointment and became dreaded, and now he calls this the “best game ever” when Sephiroth appeared? This is stupidly biased. I was happy to see both Steve AND Sephiroth coming in, I saw others’ reactions and It was a fun sight to it, but when I saw how Max is over exaggerated excitement about this, it just disgusts me. It even pissed me more when he calls Sakurai a “fanboy.” Like dude, everyone loves every characters and well known characters will be included in Smash one way or another. Either social jokes, or popular demands, yet here he is, one sided and thinks the Nintendo shouldn’t do such a “stupid” decision. Fuck that guy dude.....
This guy had the most reasonable negative reaction ever "i dont have to like it, but i understand" like thats some A+ maturity that we barely see in the community
Yeah! - Steve is the kingpin of game sales. - Sakurai has mentioned in cases that there is a correlation between moveset and licenses (with the whole 'Top realizable/top requested characters'). - Suggestions that talks of Steve in Smash were going on since Iwata. - The option is out of the standard ballpark, perhaps opening potential. Here we are with Sephiroth, and 3 left in the chamber. Let's see where it takes us.
There are two types of people: Those who realized it was Steve from the silhouette, and those who realized from the first frames of Mario entering the cave
@Baxi Tabaxi lmao what are you talking about me and my 22 year old friends play minecraft all the time. Content creators like Dream are MASSIVE on the platform, making content appealing to all ages. Not sure what toxic internet wasteland you're living in (probably Twitter), but we'll save you a spot in the minecraft server when you come around friend.
@Baxi Tabaxi bruh, you sound like you are cracked out. The same thing could be said about smash bros considering the amount of pro playets that turned out to be pedos.
Sakurai: oh so you didn't like it? Then I guess I'll start reproducing One Winged Angel, AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT, AND THAT WASN'T A QUESTION! Max: I'll behave
So crazy, but I'll admit the reveal video made me laugh genuine laughter. He looks so goofy but in a genuinely good way! Him eating that porkchop in front of a stunned Mario is the best. That's exactly the energy this character should have. I approve.
@@obviously_not_dio_brando8566 that was a term I learned when I was bored and watched Dorohedoro on Netflix. I liked all the characters including the "bad" 1's and the main character wasn't necessarily being an angel, but yeah
Well no, not exactly. The rules have held firm so far: character must originate from a game franchise and must have appeared on a Nintendo console at some point. But stuff like Project X Zone on 3DS means Nintendo can choose from basically any Japanese franchise they want, aside from the obvious like Sony's garbage cinegames but who even wants those?
@@TheDapperDragon bro Sakurai even showed his minecraft worlds during the reveal. He just didn't pick the character himself because he knew it would be hard as fuck to make
3:55 dude, this game isn’t about you. You overhyped on a character (Sephiroth) that most teens and adults would play in the original game, but saying that it’s a “Mascot” for Smash? Then who dafuq is Mario and other Pokémon then? Put Dante in? I support the idea, but you are you planning to put more violent characters in? What’s next? Kratos? That’d be lit, but I doubt they’ll ever put him in…
@@WhopsInc. I think Sakurai is pretty aware of how fans would feel about the reveal. He also figured it'd be annoying to program and require a lot of adjustments to everything in the game. But if he thinks he can make something fit he'll give it a shot, that and if he feels it's justified in his eyes in being included.
@@Hi_Just_Fred also the fact that he has played so much Minecraft it's not even funny, just look at the few photos of his worlds that were shared, he clearly has a passion for this game. Also don't forget the possibility of things getting lost in translation.
Its been confirmed ALL DLC (Idk bout piranha plant) were decided by Nintendo and Sakurai gave the go-ahead. So by ur point, no DLC was Sakurai's idea...
@@YesLegend936 I'm not saying the DLC's were his idea, I'm saying he's got no complaints, which is obvious because even though Nintendo picks them Sakurai has to give the okay which implies he is at least okay with them but him liking and playing Minecraft so much implies he is more than okay with Steve, duh.
I had issues with Steve since 2011 since I don’t know how Nintendo was going to make his moveset. I despise Minecraft since I ran that train dry when I was 10, but I’m pumped to see another one of the long-requested people get in. Next: Geno and Sora.
@@FlameKing91 Who the hell uses the word normie in 2020? Cringe culture should've died ages ago, just let people enjoy shit without calling them idiot kids or whatever, man.
Smash fanbase: “Sakurai-san, please stop with all these niche characters and their franchises that nobody has ever heard of.” Sakurai: “Be careful what you wish for, mortal.”
@@drizzziit1 I think he is referring to when sakurai says "Usually these ideas come from Nintendo coming to me and asking me to make this character. If I can't do this character justice, I tell them no." he then says making Steve would be impossible, and so he told them yes
George Hernandez It’s literally his most played fighting game on stream, if we’re counting the hours. Just because he doesn’t play online doesn’t mean he hasn’t played a shit ton of it with the YoVideoGames crew in the same room. Max has repeatedly said how much he loves Smash, and his time playing it on streams have reflected that.
To Maxx mid-twenties is a kid Maxx is closer to 40 than he is to 20 I'm in the same age range I could care less about Minecraft but this game is about everyone being here so here we are
Essentially it's alright to not be personally interested. I'm not interested for example. But there's a difference between people like me who leave it at that. And then others who turn towards rage. That typical "I HATE THAT THIS CHARACTER GOT IN CAUSE THEY TOOK THE SLOT FROM *insert Character they'd rather have*"
Yeah. I think he's a little saltier than is perhaps reasonable, but he has the exact right reaction to roster disappointment. That said his claim that Minecraft is the final straw in literally anyone getting in is overblown and indicative of how detached he is from the game. Which is perfectly fine.
I'm 38. I definitely appreciate steve being in the game. Huge character in the gaming industry. I also think having characters that aren't straight out of another fighting game is great. Shows the creativity of the team to come up with a move set.
I can understand a lot of the disappointment online, and I so appreciate how civil Max is. Just because it’s an add he doesn’t want or cares about doesn’t mean it’s automatically a bad character or it was a mistake or Sakurai is a fool.
drizzziit Oh definitely I’m looking forward to it even though I got no connection to Minecraft. I’ll even day I’m digging what I see so far purely because I’m curious about the character’s gameplay. Just mentioning this now because already this is going both ways: Many online are throwing shade at the Minecrafters for ruining Smash, while just as many Minecrafters are throwing shade at the haters for hating. Like or dislike a character however you want, just don’t be an asshat to others, that’s all. Which is why I like how Max is being civil.
What’s interesting is that Sakurai mentioned that they literally had to rework the whole game and the stages just to make Steve’s gimmicks work. Does this mean a major game balance change is coming with his release?
@@vergil5906 They reworked the stages, not the balance. And they reworked them to make placing blocks work, so not much is changed for you, as a player. Stop being salty, Vergil fanboy
I read that comment as more attached to his initial discussion/brainstorming sequence when approached with the idea of the character. The blocks and moves and the minecart in the trailer all look pretty compatible with how things exist as they are. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the blocks on slopes, but that's about the only odd thing that occurs to me atm. As far as balance, we get a major balance patch every character release anyway, so that's nbd. I'm excited. I skipped Min Min, I'll make time for Steve.
As much as this character isn’t for me or most people of my generation (like Max), it makes all the sense in the world. Without hyperbole, Minecraft is literally the Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros. or Pokemon of its generation. It’s in a very exclusive club of titans in the industry, and if Smash is now supposed to be a ”celebration of video games”, it’d be weird to NOT have Minecraft represented. And yeah, I get that it might not feel like it belongs to most of us in the ”over 30” crowd (it’s my gut reaction, too), but it really is the best representation of the last decade of gaming. Plus, it’ll hopefully result in a super creative and unique character, which is always great.
When you put it like that, I really hope we get more PS1 representation now. That era's only got the Nintendo titans really. I mean we have Cloud (which is huge) and Snake, but some mascot character would be nice to see.
I was born in 2001, and pretty much, yeah. everyone at the time in school talked about minecraft, we would go back to our house and play some servers together. this fighter really gets me, it hits me with nostalgia, and some well deserved hype. good pick on sakurais hand.
@@Lynch2507 Sakurai didn't want to put anyone that was picked in Smash himself personally. Many times it was either Nintendo or money motivated choices.
@@eriksulin627 He said right at the beginning that he doesn't get to pick just his favorites or random characters out of hat which implies Steve isn't in the game because he wanted Minecraft in. Nintendo asked him and they planned it to release right before an official Minecraft livestream.
Sakurai has praised Minecraft in the past as has Miyamoto. Sakurai is being tongue in cheek as usual when talking about Nintendo wanting him because he knew it would be a programming challenging. As much as Max hates it, Minecraft is more popular than Dante or any other capcom character for that matter
@@TheDecoyPlatypus Didn't he himself say a few years ago that he was wanting to incorporate Minecraft into Smash. Like, after Smash 4 came out or around that time.
@@MrDOOlevrai He's pointing out the absurdity of the statement that minecraft is for children, since if minecraft is considered a kids game so can 92% of the Smash roster. The commenter was simply pointing out the hypocracy, again I don't see any problem with that
I'm glad that max is self aware enough to realize that his disappointment comes from personal taste. He could have taken the twitter approach and gone on about how Minecraft is for babies and no one cares about it. However, he forced his salt down and admitted that Minecraft in smash is a big deal for many, just not him.
What a lot of people don't realize don't realize is that Minecraft is to adolescent girl gamers what Mario and Zelda was to boy gamers of previous generations. If you want to get girls involved in this game, then they made the right choice. If you just want 30 y/o middle age men playing it, then sure - pick someone else.
@@bguy6778 Girls are 50% of the population and a growing proportion of the gaming community. From Nintendo's perspective, doesn't it make sense to make games that appeal to them also?
"the mascot of children" isn't wrong per say, but minecraft is also 10 years old now, kids who played it back then and still love it as a childhood game are young adults now
Yeah I started to play Minecraft back in 2010/2011 when me and my brother saw people like Seananners playing it and now 20 years old I still play it here and there.
The way Sakurai talked about how implementing Minecraft Steve in Smash would be such an arduous task, the massive reworking of stages, and the fact he said it would be impossible made me think that Mincraft Steve was chosen _because_ he would be so hard to put in. Instead of bringing in a character that would mesh well with the game as a whole, they choose a character that would be hard to do. I admire him for that.
_"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet,_ _but your kids are gonna love it."_ Pour one out for Max, who streamed 9 hours for this. Thanks for the dedication Dood.
Just saying: There's nothing wrong with Steve being a mascot for children. Some characters in Smash were also the exact same thing in their generation. If you wait another decade or two, Steve would be put in the same pedestal as them. Whether you agree or not, just remember the impact this game brought to all generations of gamers.
Shit I’m just now getting into Minecraft this year and I’m 28. I love Minecraft and as soon as I heard the zombie gurgle I knew what character this was going to be and I was cheesing like a fucking child. Btw I was watching a compilation of reveal trailers last night and that’s how I found out Minecraft Steve was in smash because I haven’t played ultimate since before he was released. Everything else in the trailer like the enderman was just sprinkles on the cake
You mean Microsoft. They were all like, you can have Banjo & Kazooie in Smash Bros Ultimate but you're going to have to put in Steve from Minecraft in exchange. Sounds good Mr. Sakurai-San?
Right? When he dropped Terry Bogard he had this huge smile and gave a survey course on SNK. Here, he was, "Uh, yeah, Nintendo wanted me to put in Minecraft characters. It was a bitch of a job. We did it, I guess? Hear me talk about it?"
I mean, i like minecraft but, i still think there are better options than Steve Yet, im still not mad, its just a game, like, its fine if you are passionate, but getting angry is a lit extreme Dissapointment is fine tho
Since when did Smash Bros become too cool for characters like Steve? I remember the days when the characters with normal body proportions felt out of place...
@@slendernaruto4563 watching is different than playing so that's a null point. Like I stated this isn't for the kids that watch it, it's for the 24 year olds that actually play the game.
Slendernaruto456 That’s wrong, the vast majority of people who play it casually, competitively and professionally are 16+. Maybe the ones who watch it are kids, but that can also be said of Smash.
@@julianx2rl ? I was saying that their point of minecraft being a childs game is wrong. Also technically it is their job to add what the people want. That's what games are for. I know you probably have 0 clue what that business model is like but you make what people want you to make because that means they buy the product. In this case minecraft is the most selling game of all time so it's basically easy money.
That was me this morning. But as I thought about it, I've reached an understanding. We've gotten some great characters for smash in the past season. So this is just a pass for me. We just have to see who's next after Steve. Here's hoping we finally get Dante or Sora lol
@@BabbsyKun Same here for a few minutes, but then I remembered I got King K. Rool, who was my most wanted character since Melee, so I'm fine with whatever else gets added. I'm not a minecraft fan, but I'm happy for those who are.
"Their just keeping it in mystery, aren't they?" Me, who was pretty sure as soon as he broke through the wall and was absolutely sure as soon as he saw the first set of glowing eyes: "Ye-yeaaaaahhhhh, very...mysterious...
I dont play Minecraft and I missed the wall,I though it was a SMT rep since that series loves the glowing eyes in the dark,It was a nice surprise tho XD
to be fair- this is like the Cloud reveal where Max knew something was up as soon as he heard the first few music notes, while other people didnt know what it was until the Final Fantasy logo actually appeared
Steve really looks like a meme, but seems fun asf to play with. Isn't SSB meant to be the fun fighting game with characters from all the games you love? Why people are mad about character like this? I thought "MiNeCrAfT bAd And FoR KiDZ!11" stereotype was destroyed a few years ago, and Steve in Smash shows that completely anyone may be added now.
It is a game heavily marketed to kids that's why people call it a kids game, that's not a negative connotation it's just true. Super Smash bros, is a kids game too. So it fits. Not excited but I can see how some are.
I can totally undertsand Max's (and a lot of people's) feelings on the character, I feel the theme didn't really fit in a fighter, but here is Sakurai making it work, and making it look fantastic. The accuracy of the visuals, the animations and everything, it's so well done, they could have given the character more flexibility and have him move fast but I am glad they kept it as is, truly hard work!
@@jenniferhamels1176 Good point! And that is why I am impressed, Duck Hunt and ROB, or Game and Watch are very good reimaginings of the characters, since they do little fighting in their original appearances. The fact Steve looks so close to the original with the limited variety of actual fighting moves he has in Minecraft is astounding, and a very original character
Agreed. We're too spoiled now with the roster where it went from "everyone is here" to "anyone can be here" I think the character looks fun to play. The tnt bomb, the block building and the general zaniness looks fun. Villager 2.0.
I think it’s so cute. My kids love Minecraft and smash soo much and seeing them in smash made me tear up thinking about my kids. Idk ...maybe it’s the dad in me
Ok... You win the "most wholesome reaction ever" prize. I can't even understand those that are angry about this. I thought we had grown a bit. Guess i was wrong...
Cesar Claudio Sizun The Smash community has always been...Well...Not really good on agreeing with each other. I mean, i love the Smash community but they can still be very toxic.
I don't know why people are saying he's raging, he's really calm and fair about this instead of yelling about how he thinks minecraft is a kids game and stuff. Only thing I disagree is the Steve is a kids mascot, 9/10 I would say any fortnite character is more noticeable to kids than steve
I feel like Steve is more of a mascot of a generation than just a kids mascot. Lots of people grew up playing Minecraft so to them it’s like their childhood being put into another game
Let’s all just remember “Everyone is here.” Everyone from Mario to Joker to Terry Bogard to Minecraft Steve. Smash is a celebration of all gaming, from the hardcore classics that Max loves to the modern a new generation of gamers love. It’s fine if Max is disappointed because he didn’t get what he wanted, because he got what he wanted with plenty of other characters, and a lot of people who are excited over Steve had been disappointed when Terry came out. It’s fine if you’re not over the moon at every single reveal because in a cast of over 90 characters, there are undoubtedly going to be some reveals that just don’t appeal to you. “This is definitely a dream come true, just not mine.”
Truer words could not have been said. While Steve was definitely not one of my most wanted character, I'm happy he got into Smash and happy for the people who wanted it.
2020 smash tourney scene gets exposed for having tons of pedos sakarai and nintendo lets rework our entire game to use a charecter from a game that has fucktons of pedos associated with it thatll fix our tourney scene
Okay, Steve aside, can we talk about that music piece in the background of the trailer? As weird as it sounds, I'll buy this only to have the piano pieces in the game.
I feel same like max, but hey! Its a troll character, its perfect for the game and trolling 😎, thats why i accepted the character when even sakurai says dont wanted on smash
Yeah at least it's interesting and something I didn't personally think was ever going to happen. I'm much happier with this than I was with Byleth. Like it or not Minecraft is an influential and iconic game. Are there other characters I'd rather see? Dozens of them sure but the trailer surprised me which was nice.
Yeah, but this character should also really worry you for future characters, like I genuinely wouldn't even be surprised if they added fortnite or five nights at freddies. If that happens, I am never playing a smash title ever again.
If this game is already 10 years old and it still have a fanbase of manchildren... Well. And yes, I know you can pretty much say the same about Mario, Sonic and Pokemon
"It's a dream come true, just not my dream come true." I hope this is a attitude people can develop going forward.

“Mascot for children”
Well we are talking about Nintendo here and I think we all forget that Nintendo makes games for everyone.
For good boys and girls of all ages
True first they didn't have blood in their original mortal kombat
3:55 dude, this game isn’t about you. You overhyped on a character (Sephiroth) that most teens and adults would play in the original game, but saying that it’s a “Mascot” for Smash? Then who dafuq is Mario and other Pokémon then? Put Dante in? I support the idea, but you are you planning to put more violent characters in? What’s next? Kratos? That’d be lit, but I doubt they’ll ever put him in…
Daily reminder that Smash is a kids game.

I like how Sakurai immediately stated, “This character was not my idea”
But he obviously had zero complaints
@@WhopsInc. I think Sakurai is pretty aware of how fans would feel about the reveal. He also figured it'd be annoying to program and require a lot of adjustments to everything in the game. But if he thinks he can make something fit he'll give it a shot, that and if he feels it's justified in his eyes in being included.
@@Hi_Just_Fred also the fact that he has played so much Minecraft it's not even funny, just look at the few photos of his worlds that were shared, he clearly has a passion for this game. Also don't forget the possibility of things getting lost in translation.
Its been confirmed ALL DLC (Idk bout piranha plant) were decided by Nintendo and Sakurai gave the go-ahead. So by ur point, no DLC was Sakurai's idea...
@@YesLegend936 I'm not saying the DLC's were his idea, I'm saying he's got no complaints, which is obvious because even though Nintendo picks them Sakurai has to give the okay which implies he is at least okay with them but him liking and playing Minecraft so much implies he is more than okay with Steve, duh.
Max gotta stop doing all-nighters for announcements. He's like 0/4
Taking so many Ls
Didn't he get excited for MHR though?
Salty Shunk That and the sound of a Virtua Fighter coin drop.
Still, it is more Ls than Ws considering...
Max is bit of a gambler.
I'm pretty sure, the all nighter isn't why he's low energy lol
This was probably how younger fans felt about Terry tbh.
I think that was even worse because people know about minecraft they just don't like it. Younger fans had no idea who terry was.
I’m 13 and I didn’t know who terry was but it was cool to see other people super excited
How every American felt about Hero
I had issues with Steve since 2011 since I don’t know how Nintendo was going to make his moveset.
I despise Minecraft since I ran that train dry when I was 10, but I’m pumped to see another one of the long-requested people get in.
Next: Geno and Sora.
I felt slightly disappointed because I at least expected to know all the characters that were picked, but I was more disappointed in myself...

That meme is still strong right?
Max has the correct reaction for someone not excited “I understand I understand why, that doesn’t mean I have to like it”
Truer words have NOT been said, my friend
Yeah he's allowed to have opinions he doesn't have to be hyped for a character he isn't familiar with. As a person who LOVES Minecraft I'm hyped lmao
And this is why me and max vibe. We’re on the same wavelength
Essentially it's alright to not be personally interested. I'm not interested for example.
But there's a difference between people like me who leave it at that. And then others who turn towards rage. That typical "I HATE THAT THIS CHARACTER GOT IN CAUSE THEY TOOK THE SLOT FROM *insert Character they'd rather have*"
Yeah. I think he's a little saltier than is perhaps reasonable, but he has the exact right reaction to roster disappointment.
That said his claim that Minecraft is the final straw in literally anyone getting in is overblown and indicative of how detached he is from the game. Which is perfectly fine.
How max feels about Steve in Minecraft is how young kids felt about terry in smash
Yep
Now he knows how it feels.

@@ziongamer6905 Latin America loved Terry to dead. Murica children didnt.

I'm 38. I definitely appreciate steve being in the game. Huge character in the gaming industry. I also think having characters that aren't straight out of another fighting game is great. Shows the creativity of the team to come up with a move set.
I can understand a lot of the disappointment online, and I so appreciate how civil Max is. Just because it’s an add he doesn’t want or cares about doesn’t mean it’s automatically a bad character or it was a mistake or Sakurai is a fool.
No Sakurai is A POPE OF FOOLS
Can we just admit that this entire game is an advertisement and have fun already?
drizzziit Oh definitely I’m looking forward to it even though I got no connection to Minecraft. I’ll even day I’m digging what I see so far purely because I’m curious about the character’s gameplay.
Just mentioning this now because already this is going both ways: Many online are throwing shade at the Minecrafters for ruining Smash, while just as many Minecrafters are throwing shade at the haters for hating.
Like or dislike a character however you want, just don’t be an asshat to others, that’s all. Which is why I like how Max is being civil.
Do you mean Nintendo? Sakurai doesn't look thrilled either he has the face of "wtf did yall make me do"
Why is their disappointment? Minecraft is the best selling game ever. And has been requested a lot online
What’s interesting is that Sakurai mentioned that they literally had to rework the whole game and the stages just to make Steve’s gimmicks work.
Does this mean a major game balance change is coming with his release?
If they made the game less fun so that Steve can be fun then I’m not playing smash ever again
@@vergil5906 They reworked the stages, not the balance. And they reworked them to make placing blocks work, so not much is changed for you, as a player. Stop being salty, Vergil fanboy
@@thebigsam I love you
I read that comment as more attached to his initial discussion/brainstorming sequence when approached with the idea of the character. The blocks and moves and the minecart in the trailer all look pretty compatible with how things exist as they are. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the blocks on slopes, but that's about the only odd thing that occurs to me atm. As far as balance, we get a major balance patch every character release anyway, so that's nbd.
I'm excited. I skipped Min Min, I'll make time for Steve.

Me: Looking at Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, etc.
@Antoine Wilson - Minecraft came out in 2009.
It predates Bayonetta.
But they are classic characters and they are NINTENDO exclusives... lol I would rather use Animal Crossing characters as an example.
@@betorockmetal ...Because Animal Crossing is... not a Nintendo franchise now?
As much as this character isn’t for me or most people of my generation (like Max), it makes all the sense in the world.
Without hyperbole, Minecraft is literally the Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros. or Pokemon of its generation. It’s in a very exclusive club of titans in the industry, and if Smash is now supposed to be a ”celebration of video games”, it’d be weird to NOT have Minecraft represented.
And yeah, I get that it might not feel like it belongs to most of us in the ”over 30” crowd (it’s my gut reaction, too), but it really is the best representation of the last decade of gaming. Plus, it’ll hopefully result in a super creative and unique character, which is always great.
Just boomers afraid of their irrelevance
When you put it like that, I really hope we get more PS1 representation now. That era's only got the Nintendo titans really. I mean we have Cloud (which is huge) and Snake, but some mascot character would be nice to see.
Yeah, we gotta be more welcoming to the youngsters than older generations were to us. 🤷🏽♂️
To be honest i already consider him unique with the fact coding was so hard and they basically had to go over every stage again
I was born in 2001, and pretty much, yeah. everyone at the time in school talked about minecraft, we would go back to our house and play some servers together. this fighter really gets me, it hits me with nostalgia, and some well deserved hype. good pick on sakurais hand.
I love how sakurai basically said "Listen, Nintendo really wanted Minecraft, don't hate me please "

@@eriksulin627 he literally said Nintendo came to him like "Couldn't you put Minecraft in smash" like, I doubt he would've done it himself lmao

@@eriksulin627 He said right at the beginning that he doesn't get to pick just his favorites or random characters out of hat which implies Steve isn't in the game because he wanted Minecraft in. Nintendo asked him and they planned it to release right before an official Minecraft livestream.

"the mascot of children" isn't wrong per say, but minecraft is also 10 years old now, kids who played it back then and still love it as a childhood game are young adults now

Instead of bringing in a character that would mesh well with the game as a whole, they choose a character that would be hard to do. I admire him for that.

You mean Microsoft. They were all like, you can have Banjo & Kazooie in Smash Bros Ultimate but you're going to have to put in Steve from Minecraft in exchange. Sounds good Mr. Sakurai-San?
Right? When he dropped Terry Bogard he had this huge smile and gave a survey course on SNK. Here, he was, "Uh, yeah, Nintendo wanted me to put in Minecraft characters. It was a bitch of a job. We did it, I guess? Hear me talk about it?"
Donor of Ruffled Feathers he clearly told them no and then they forced him to put it in
100%. Fucking Nintendo and their shit decisions. Sakurai just follows orders. Maybe he wanted a cool character but got a big no no.

To each his own but that seems like such a weak want to me with all the crazy and magical worlds out there that could join
@@cryptocaesar8972 we have steve from minecraft, you know, a guy with blocks
At this point, anything is possible
Ah shit, here we go again...
His down special would be like Hero's but with cheat codes instead of spells
I think it’s so cute. My kids love Minecraft and smash soo much and seeing them in smash made me tear up thinking about my kids. Idk ...maybe it’s the dad in me
Best dad ever 💪❤️
Ok... You win the "most wholesome reaction ever" prize. I can't even understand those that are angry about this. I thought we had grown a bit. Guess i was wrong...
Cesar Claudio Sizun The Smash community has always been...Well...Not really good on agreeing with each other. I mean, i love the Smash community but they can still be very toxic.
Did you show your kids the trailer? What did they think about Steve joining Smash Bros?
Minecraft isnt a kids game really the game came out 10 years ago so a lot of adults play the game
"I'm disappointed because I didn't get what I wanted" Well, welcome to the world,
Well, he at least admitted it. That's so much better than other people.
I don't know why people are saying he's raging, he's really calm and fair about this instead of yelling about how he thinks minecraft is a kids game and stuff. Only thing I disagree is the Steve is a kids mascot, 9/10 I would say any fortnite character is more noticeable to kids than steve
I feel like Steve is more of a mascot of a generation than just a kids mascot. Lots of people grew up playing Minecraft so to them it’s like their childhood being put into another game
@@brudderchris868 my little sister's generation dont like minecraft and get mad whenever big youtubers make minecrafr videos as opposed to fortnite so
Brudder Chris see this proves my point
Flabbergasted really
@@ImSpookd Yeah, it must be the entire generation, not just a couple kids
The meme, the legend, the man himself has cometh
I would have rather gotten Ugandan Knuckles
Let’s all just remember “Everyone is here.” Everyone from Mario to Joker to Terry Bogard to Minecraft Steve. Smash is a celebration of all gaming, from the hardcore classics that Max loves to the modern a new generation of gamers love. It’s fine if Max is disappointed because he didn’t get what he wanted, because he got what he wanted with plenty of other characters, and a lot of people who are excited over Steve had been disappointed when Terry came out. It’s fine if you’re not over the moon at every single reveal because in a cast of over 90 characters, there are undoubtedly going to be some reveals that just don’t appeal to you. “This is definitely a dream come true, just not mine.”
This is exactly it. Thank u
I thought mean dc joker. Not the persona joker.
Like max said "I understand why but that doesnt mean i have to like it"
reynauld whistles pretty much sums up my feelings for fire emblem characters
Truer words could not have been said. While Steve was definitely not one of my most wanted character, I'm happy he got into Smash and happy for the people who wanted it.
“I definitely thought it was gonna be Travis...”
*Yikes*
Sakurai basically just said "It's impossible, but I can do it anyways"
Nice
That programming budget, tho
Max: Dosn't scream and is disappointed
Internet: CAGASTE
_pal pozo_
F por el maximilian
Underrated
F para Maximiliano Tipazo
Pal Lobby el Max. F
Still can’t believe this. Life is a fever dream at this point.
And we are here to enjoy the ride
@AlléVoy AND IT'S AN OFFICIAL VIDEOGAME
Welcome to 2020.
A virus runs rampant,
Lots of civil unrest,
An election no one is looking forward to,
Steve got into smash...
/s
2020 smash tourney scene gets exposed for having tons of pedos
sakarai and nintendo lets rework our entire game to use a charecter from a game that has fucktons of pedos associated with it thatll fix our tourney scene
Right when he was in the middle of saying "I under..." pizza hut crashes in saying in a sultry masculine voice "the pan". 10/10 ad placement
Okay, Steve aside, can we talk about that music piece in the background of the trailer? As weird as it sounds, I'll buy this only to have the piano pieces in the game.
Minecraft has good music so it at least will result in good Siivagunner rips
If you have the money go for it
MInecraft's OST is really good
Getting Smash mixes of Minecraft music is in and of itself worth it tbh
Seriously this theme was such a banger. No doubt the soundtracks included are gonna slap.
4:16 Even Sakurai looks at the camera in disbelief.
When even the creator of the game is trowing shade at the inclusion of the character you know you've fucked up ROYALLY!
I think he's just looking to see if he's ready to talk on cam
@@djpegao He wasn't even throwing shade lol. It's ok to be upset. But us minecraft fans are winning
@@brandon_nope That definitely was it.
@@brandon_nope that's what it is the "Smash fans" are trying too hard to find reasons on why they don't like it.
"Super Smash Bros Ultimate character reveal?"
"Steve minecraft"
"Understandable, have a great day"
*minecraft sounds play*
“Man they just keeping this shit a mystery for a long time”
The face of dissapointed of Max is just priceless. LOL
“I’m gonna turn this stream off RIGHT NOW”🤣
"I'm gonna turn this *shit* off."
Mmm I can taste the salt. Flavorful👌
Codered taste like poop don’t it 👌
@Larv Larv you’re not funny
I feel same like max, but hey! Its a troll character, its perfect for the game and trolling 😎, thats why i accepted the character when even sakurai says dont wanted on smash
To be fair, this feels like Frank West from MvC3; someone who gets stronger if you "upgrade" their attacks.
I thought something similar, but his whole crafting gimmick seemed more like Phoenix Wright to me
@@silversonome5360 shouldve just put Phoenix Wright already in smash
Fans: "Enough with anime swordsmen In Smash!"
Nintendo & Sakurai: "Ok." **Adds a western and blocky swordsman**
MQF II *What do you mean? Steve is from an anime smh*
he really likes swords, right?
Not even mad. This is hilarious and genuinely shocking if anything.
Yup exactly
Yeah at least it's interesting and something I didn't personally think was ever going to happen. I'm much happier with this than I was with Byleth. Like it or not Minecraft is an influential and iconic game. Are there other characters I'd rather see? Dozens of them sure but the trailer surprised me which was nice.
You have to give props on how they pulled it off adding this type of character.
Fr I'm not mad nor excited, just shocked
Yeah, but this character should also really worry you for future characters, like I genuinely wouldn't even be surprised if they added fortnite or five nights at freddies. If that happens, I am never playing a smash title ever again.
"Anything belongs to smash brothers nowadays"
*sad doomslayer noises*
microsoft bought Bethesda so his chance of getting in increased by alot
*Sad Devil May Cry Noises*
I'ma say having doom guy is like putting god of war in. Don't it's a cluster fuck. Well maybe doom guy but now god of war.
He’d be too violent for smash. He would be chainsawing these characters lol.
Save the Slayer for Mortal Kombat
The one reaction I was waiting for.
Me too
Amen brother
Same
I relate to Max's reactions too much most of the time
And what a disappointing one it was
"The mascot of children"? my man is stuck in 2015
HOES MALD
@@wizofhell mald
If this game is already 10 years old and it still have a fanbase of manchildren... Well. And yes, I know you can pretty much say the same about Mario, Sonic and Pokemon
@@RRRRRRRRR33 and Smash Bros.
@@MugdhaMahdiShams bro seriously. This fanbase is comprised of manchildren
