7:38 MY WORDS EXACTLY! The amount of detail into the character and the stage is just SILLY! Not in a bad way, but like, sure, Sakurai acknowledges he really likes Minecraft, but holy heck to even detail the inside of the villager house to have a bed? Something that's barely visible from the main stage plane? Also, no wonder Sakurai's face during the reveal was like "this shit wasn't easy... Why am I doing this I need a break", having to rework every single stage so it works with the character for resource gathering.
Max said it, but the amount of love and care that each of these guest characters is absolutely incredible. Nothing but respect for the source material.
That's the minimum expected, idk why you people praise this kind of "effort" so much. Netherrealm does basically the same thing and you don't see people going overboard with their work
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I'm sorry? People go nuts over NRS' guest character work with each one. this isn't 'effort' it's EFFORT. they out in the actual effort in making the character look and feel amazing.

@@RRRRRRRRR33 First of all, no? Yoda, Darth, were also in Soul Caliber, and they were awesome. They had good work done on them, they were decent effort. Spawn was around the same time (all of them appearing on the Xbox 360/PS3) Tekken included characters yeah, but they didn't include the amount of love and care put into them that smash is. They have their generic things, and they are basically a 1 to 1 version of what they were before, Smash is putting out all the stops for these guests. It's come down to it not being just a fighting game character. They could've easily just put steve in with a sword attack, a bow attack, and a random ultimate. There was no need to add all the extra details like his grab putting you in a fence, his grab using a fishing rod, no need to have his taunts be references not just from the game, but things actual players do to taunt their enemies, like eating in front of them, or jumping and punching, or adding the ability to have Steve's head look up and down like it does in the game, or having his crouch actually be the minecraft crouch, no need to give him the crafting abilities, or the building abilities. This character has more love put into it then any guest character i've seen in a long time. and that goes for all of the smash characters minus someone like Cloud, who was heavily limited for outside reasons. I can actually go through and point out what most if not all his moves are from his source material. There are no generic moves. And his stage is dynamic. Changing each time you use it like Minecraft worlds change. They could've easily put a random stage as a field or something and left it. There was no need to have minecraft animals or npcs moving around back there, or to have the villagers actually go to bed when night falls. Smash puts actual effort into the characters. it's nothing to sneeze at. It deserves respect. and a lot of it.
Not... really...? You don't really get levels as much as you gain resources. I guess I can kind-of see where you're coming from, but it feels super different. It's almost weirdly Blazblu feeling, mechanics-wise, but I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that has this exact type of thing. Weirdly enough, best comparison would probably be Cloud, I guess? Because you're building up raw attack power mainly, but the stuff you build up is super temporary and can be used for recovery. Maybe even kind-of Pac-Man-ish?
@@dracocrusher yes, maybe more similar to Pac-Man. But it isn't just raw power, it's both that, with the tools upgrades, and utility, with the blocks, minecart and tnt. I think this character will give the player so many possibilities it might be overwhelming
Max's response is basically what I had. Heard about Steve and was like "Yeah makes sense but meh" then saw Steve in action and was like "This is crazy stuff"
I love that Steve's up tilt attack is based on how players look directly up to cut down trees. It's a random, nothing choice but I can't stop being reminded of it whenever I cut trees down in Minecraft. It's such a funny choice to make.
Same goes with every Smash Bros character. Max does state how normal Byleth looks, but even Byleth had a new mechanic incorperated in to their moveset. I think the most "normal" character is Banjo from all the DLC up untill now.
@@RobinotX What was Byleth's new mechanic again? Isn't Byleth just different the same way every character is different, but because it's FE, where most characters share many move templates and animations, Byleth is "unique"? (Again, not really unique. Byleth is like saying you're a good student after getting a C-, just because you were putting up F's and D's. It's not quite true, it's just slightly better than normal).
@@RobinotX Well tbh, Byleth's "new" mechanics are insanely tame. Like their down b has super armor, but that's obviously not new. Their side b has a tipper, which also isn't new. Their up b is a pretty standard tether recovery, though I guess it works the opposite of Joker's if you hit an opponent with it. Their neutral b is probably the most unique. After a certain point, you can no longer cancel out of it. Off the top of my head I can't think of any projectiles that are like that, but it's really nothing special. I think B&K beat them out here. Still fairly normal. However, their side b is invincible and is limited to five per stock, and their neutral b puts them in a special gatling gun state if you hold the button down. Still nothing crazy, but that's two new kinds of moves to Byleth's one. Of course, in terms of unique mechanics, the other DLC characters blow them both out of the water.
Tyler Evans The only thing I can think of is that they’re the first character to use a spear. Which is kinda insane that a game series about weapon triangles took until the 6th (or 8 if you count echoes) character to include a spear and an axe in their moveset
I respect that even though you really weren't excited at all about Steve, you're still giving him a fair chance. And that's something I wish more people would do.
Yeah, I've never played Minecraft either, but he looks really fun and unique. I ended up really liking Min Min despite knowing nothing about ARMS; nothing wrong with trying a character from a franchise you have no interest in
Max wasn't paying attention this was ridiculously over the top. Reworking every stage, coming up with like 10 new mechanics that no other character has anything close to.
Honestly, Minecraft is a fantastic move on Nintendo to put in the game, despite what anyone says. It is one of the widely known game on the planet with the broadest appeal for all ages, and the concept is fresh instead of "another character associated with fighting." The Minecraft scene in Japan is also blowing up thank to all the V-Tubers streaming the game, so the time couldn't be anymore ripe.
It's impressive how much love they put into everything smash related All characters have so much to them I hope they continue as much as they can without compromising health
So what I get from this is Steve, a character from a game with the simplest learning curve out there, has probably one of the harder learning curve in terms of moves.
One thing I like most about the Mii Fighter costume trailers is the references they pack in. With Travis, for instance: - Breaking through the front door of Townshend Mansion in NMH's intro - Death Metal and Skelter Helter, the first bosses of NMH and NMH2 respectively (Fourside being the rooftop where Skelter Helter is fought, as well as Helter Skelter in NMH's first trailer) - Maybe Golden Dragon GP from Travis Strikes Again
I was sad seeing Travis as a mii. I mean No More Hero's was most popular on the Wii...and I think the sequel was ONLY for the wii I believe...and the company was mainly hopping on Nintendo....sooo I honestly thought they were gonna give him a shot...oh well.
Not to mention Suda 51 being buds with Sakurai and constantly talking with him and bugging him about getting Travis in. I wager this happened mainly to shut him up lol NMH3 will probably have Travis whining about the exact reasons he was rejected
@@megamegaO I can just see Slyvia talking to Travis like. "You zink people would be excited for you? You are just a zimple anime swordsman... Fighters like you are a dime a dozen." Then Suda puts in a level where Travis cant attack enemies unless he eats a lot of Hamburgers or some other really annoying mechanic while going "this is it... This is the unique mechanic I need to bring something new to the table!"
8:37 I like how he didn't say Sonic, because even after 10 years, Sonic has little to no faithful representation and is just barely in the game as a semi functional character. He still has 2 spin dashes, the complete wrong play style and no where near as much attention as any 3rd party from Smash 4 onwards got. Especially if they were DLC. Even Snake got it far better when he was added to Brawl, and I get thats because Sonic was a last second addition, but its been 10 fucking years since he was added and the only improvements he's got is /slightly/ fewer spinning moves and the reticle on homing attack from more modern Sonic games. Most of his moveset is still borrowed from other fighters, he still has two spin dashes, he still has way way way less attention to detail and love as any other 3rd party or DLC character gets.
When I saw Steve made in: "thats dumb but whatever...." When I saw Travis was only a Mii costume: *Crying in the corner while eating Heathbar ice cream*
6:01 actuall sakurai said in the byleth showcase that he made a specific gimmick for every DLC character, joker has arsene's power up, terry has the traditional figthing game inputs, banjo&kazoie have the gold rush, the hero has the magic system byleth has the different weapons depending on the direction output, min min has her arms, every DLC has a gimmick, sakurai said he purposely did this because he didn't want to just "add characters".
Kazuya has a second Rage Mode on top of the standard rage Sora has his spells If more DLC was ever announced take Goku for an example He'd have standard moves, he'd have the Kamehameha special move, Ki blast spam, and a uppercut move 3 second Flying for recovery A Ki Gauge, A special command to charge Final smash can be a transformation or super Kamehameha
@@VoidJWKDDOUS goku is highly unlikely, sakurai has made it clear he just wants to add characters that started as videogame characters, plust quite frankly is lazy, heck I would love to sakurai to come back to it's roots and simply use obscure characters, is what has literally revive franchises like fire emblem and kid ikarus TBH, why bother with manga/anime characters when there's a pletora of videogames to choose from, getting outside video games (and no, the fact there's dragon ball videogames does not count) would honestly mess to what Smash bros has become, a celebration of videgame history, it has become so big the DLC announcements for smash get celebrated by people doesn't even own nintendo consoles, if they move to manga/anime it will open the floodgates to other media: comics, books, movies, tv shows, it really won't be special anymore, just a pop media sloppy mix.
Might be a little late but Minecraft isn't fully trying to look retro, instead its closer to "programmer art". Its what happens when your programmer (or the only dev) doesn't know how to make good looking things. "Loading textures? its easy if its only 16x16 pixels". "World generation? Every meter will be represented in the computer but one value so 1 will be stone and 2 will be dirt". Its function over form
@@666slateran666 the main characters are mario, link, pikachu and kirby. They're all on the same level of popularity (in the world of gaming at least), you just dont see steve in there because of nostalgia
@Trump4Prison2021 I understand what they're trying to say I just don't think they thought of how to articulate it better and besides millennials aren't the lasiest bunch hell everyone has slackers in their generation . "Lazy millennials " is about on the same level as boomers in words that are cringy to hear. Have a great afternoon random internet person may you sleep with a refreshingly cool pillow tonight.
@@666slateran666 I think you're putting too much emphasis on the characters being put in. Remember we have wiifit trainer and Villager from animal Crossing fighting mario and Snake. Steve is a very welcome addition seeing how his game was apart of alot of people's childhood and how it basically changed the game in the gaming industry. The amount of attention to detail they put in Steve's moveset and how he plays shows the dedication and respect they gave the character. And yes, Smash ultimate is a goofy game. That's the point of the game design of appealing to everyone.
Steve and Alex are technically not actually characters. They are just default male/female skins that you start the game with until you choose to upload your own custom skin.
That's actually why I dislike Monster Hunter in MvCI. She absolutely should not be doing that shit since nobody speaks English in Monster Hunter and it's so jarring.
The most mind-blowing thing that always hits me about Smash is that if you're good at the game a character comes from, you'll generally be better at playing that character right off the bat. Like they bring their own reality spheres with them.
I don't think this will ever not look wrong. There's just something about the Steve being emotionless / emote-less that makes him more unsettling than Villager with an ax.
@@TheGamevan I'm a robot w/bug eyes, mittens for hands, no free will, and who is forever damned to either play games w/your kids or be a forgettable guest character in a Nintendo title. There's nothing you can say to me that would make my existence feel less hallow.
@@Trupera I'm a living joke like Duckhunt, of course I'm in Smash Bros! But unlike them, I'm real. Nintendo has made me the laughing stock of the Robot Uprisin--erm, among robots. All I'm good for is spinning disks, baby sitting your kids, and being kicked around or outraced by another, more famous Nintendo character. I envy Duckhunt. At least they aren't real.
Going off the detail tangent, there's also Joker where they basically made the AESTHETIC the stage & even made it match the aesthetic of Persona 3 or 4 if you play those songs during the match, the Arsene meter is the same color as the HP/SP bars depending on if Arsene is out or not, or how if you land the final blow with the final smash it shows the results on the splash screen just like when you finish a battle with an All-Out Attack in Persona 5 proper. (I love that detail so much that I have smash meter turned on online just so I can get the style points when possible)
Max during his reaction to Steve: "I know why he's in the game, it's because it's just for kids" Minecraft Community: all Minecraft RUclipsrs would like to know your location
7:28 I get what you're saying Max but there's only so far you can push this dev team. And Sakurai himself for that matter. This man gave us almost 80-90 characters. I think the poor guy's going to kill himself if he does anymore.
Steve's trolling potential is off the charts, and the accurate character design goes a long way towards that. Never has watching someone eat a steak made me so peeved.
And even with the basic-ass graphics it was still hard for some PCs to run it back in the day. I remember someone asking on a forum why their laptop couldn't run a game that "looks this bad" and people had to explain that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of individual, interactable blocks loaded at any one time. If all those blocks were natively hi-res, people with older crappier computers would've had an even harder time running it.
@@petershirou892 Modern Persona starts in mid-2006 with P3, which is essentially a different series than P1 and P2IS/P2EP, and is basically separated from that continuity completely other than some Demon designs, leitmotifs and a tiny reference here and there. But if we get technical, Persona is 24 years old, and Minecraft is only 11.
Yeah, the first Persona is from 1996 on the PS1. If we are talking about just Joker and Persona 5 then the year is 2016, in a sense like a lot of JRPGs’ new entries tend to don’t have direct connections with the past games, have new main characters or even be set on a different world (like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of, Xenoblade, etc.) Minecraft was released on 2011 but the public alpha was around since 2009.
@@analyticalj8687 I was talking about Joker's first appearance itself in a video game ever, obviously Persona franchise has been around since the 90s but Joker designs doesn't compare to Persona 1's design.
@@Alex_Logan22 Minecraft isnt all about Lego builds. I didn't get into legos either but I play minecraft all the time because it has a survival part to it that makes it more rpg.
I was skeptical at first but now that I have seen him in action I think Steve is gonna be a hilarious character. Can't wait to see what people pull off with him.
"Minecraft is still new" Joker, Bayonetta, Hero, Greninja, Inciniroar, Palutena, Dark Pit, Chrom, Lucina, Byleth, Corrin, Shulk, Rosalina... These characters are from games that were released around or after Minecraft did.
7:58 What is worth noting here, there are no characters in minecraft that you can just put in the stage. Minecraft has characteristics, not characters. The behaviors, the way things break and the day and the night cycle, those are the equivalent of making a huge lineup of iconic KoF characters. What you remember from a fighting game like KoF is characters and maybe stages, what you remember from minecraft is the look, behaviors and interactions.
When they revealed Travis, I thought it was gonna be Travis Scott for a second haha. Wouldn't even be surprised if cactus jack was in smash either tho.
“I think they are borderline foolish to end Smash Bros at this DLC Season” Just wait till Nintendo sees how much bank this Season will make after Steve. They’ll definitely consider more. This stuff prints money. It’s also probably easier for Sakurai to keep doing DLC then create an entirely new game
@@cookiesnugglez7318 Yes. But we already have the Ultimate version. I'm talking about a new branch or spinoff outright so the videogame series can take a break.
2:54 Exactly what I said. There's Akira, but the joke is that's specifically a VF1 Akira. The playable characters are in Smash engine, but Microsoft made it clear Steve HAS to be blocks cause that's what's selling the merchandise.
As a technical player of Minecraft, Steve looks like fun to play with. I'm glad that redstone is sorta mentioned in his moveset. It would be a refreshment from regular vanilla Minecraft while I still have an interest of the source game.
So since Brawl and more so Smash 4 going into Ultimate, edge-gaurding has been downplayed to simmer down that competitive element of the game for casuals’ sake. Except for Steve. Who has a Brawl Metaknight glide. Who can literally wall opponents off from making recoveries onstage, or make platforms offstage to edge guard with his while moveset while standing on a block. And imagine block canceling with block breaks while atop and grabbing an opponent. Online Sonic players have competition nowI guess.
his mobility is ass tho worse jumps than little mac, weak standard attacks, required grinding for materials, etc. he's gonna be fun but not OP, not even close
@@meyes5671 he is kinda like a character that need time to be strong so in 1vs 1 situation,Steve is going to trouble to make diamond sword but in FFA(free for all) he can use wood block and started mining while others fighting
Me Yes One can hope. His strengths might even compensate for his weaknesses considerably. His recovery probably isn’t that bad if he can place blocks while moving up. Like, damn. And depending on how mine carts work or if TNT can be used like snake’s c4 boosts, his recovery probably isn’t trash. His neutral and tools for creating distance with aggressive opponents might suck though. But similar to Hero, I think Steve stands good chances of being a polarizing character. And Hero is by no means the best in the game-but man does his design competitive-wise suck pretty bad. Hopefully Steve is not that level of jank.
@@Hibernial It appears that blocks DO reset his jump, but he does kind of lack good approach options and does have very limited range comparatively (yes his attack hitbox is disjointed, but it's still the tiniest sword.)
This character will be my vessel to which I guide this world into a new age of salt and toxicity, building L’s on my stunned foes faces before finishing them.
I mean, I was WAY more hyped for Byleth and Min Min, but I didn't hear any lies in this video. I'm really amazed by this character. And terrified. I'm gonna need to really learn a rushdown character to keep this man from mining anything.
If Doomyguy gets in, and I hope to GOD he does, I want his reveal trailer to include Isabelle in some way. It'd be cute and pretty awesome of Nintendo/Sora Ltd. to acknowledge the memes.

I think B&K beat them out here. Still fairly normal. However, their side b is invincible and is limited to five per stock, and their neutral b puts them in a special gatling gun state if you hold the button down. Still nothing crazy, but that's two new kinds of moves to Byleth's one.
Of course, in terms of unique mechanics, the other DLC characters blow them both out of the water.
Tyler Evans The only thing I can think of is that they’re the first character to use a spear. Which is kinda insane that a game series about weapon triangles took until the 6th (or 8 if you count echoes) character to include a spear and an axe in their moveset
They out did themselves this time by taking a character and literally making them into the gotem ggs meme

Agreed.

Yeah, I've never played Minecraft either, but he looks really fun and unique. I ended up really liking Min Min despite knowing nothing about ARMS; nothing wrong with trying a character from a franchise you have no interest in

“Yeah I Main Mario and Terry in Smash, who do you main?”
“Travis Scott.”

Max has a history of willing characters into games. Don’t forget what happened with Dan...
Surprised there wasn’t a reaction to the Terry amiibo in here. Especially with how Sakurai trolled about it.
having seen the stream segment, there wasn't much other than laughing at terry's spread legs needing assistance to stay on the stand
I just like how the reveal implied Terry's amiibo busted through a wall of Minecraft blocks
Max wasn't paying attention this was ridiculously over the top. Reworking every stage, coming up with like 10 new mechanics that no other character has anything close to.

Honestly, Minecraft is a fantastic move on Nintendo to put in the game, despite what anyone says.
It is one of the widely known game on the planet with the broadest appeal for all ages, and the concept is fresh instead of "another character associated with fighting."
The Minecraft scene in Japan is also blowing up thank to all the V-Tubers streaming the game, so the time couldn't be anymore ripe.

God I wish sonic was true for this
I think Steve is in a league of his own in that regard.
So what I get from this is Steve, a character from a game with the simplest learning curve out there, has probably one of the harder learning curve in terms of moves.
One thing I like most about the Mii Fighter costume trailers is the references they pack in. With Travis, for instance:
- Breaking through the front door of Townshend Mansion in NMH's intro
- Death Metal and Skelter Helter, the first bosses of NMH and NMH2 respectively (Fourside being the rooftop where Skelter Helter is fought, as well as Helter Skelter in NMH's first trailer)
- Maybe Golden Dragon GP from Travis Strikes Again
Peoples: Steve has worse recovery and air game than Little Mac!
Steve: bloc
I'm disappointed nobody has clipped those soundbites of Max saying Steve's attacks and made a mod of them for Max to see
I was sad seeing Travis as a mii. I mean No More Hero's was most popular on the Wii...and I think the sequel was ONLY for the wii I believe...and the company was mainly hopping on Nintendo....sooo I honestly thought they were gonna give him a shot...oh well.
Not to mention Suda 51 being buds with Sakurai and constantly talking with him and bugging him about getting Travis in.
I wager this happened mainly to shut him up lol
NMH3 will probably have Travis whining about the exact reasons he was rejected
@@colmecolwag That'd be a nice little joke lol
@@megamegaO I can just see Slyvia talking to Travis like. "You zink people would be excited for you? You are just a zimple anime swordsman... Fighters like you are a dime a dozen."
Then Suda puts in a level where Travis cant attack enemies unless he eats a lot of Hamburgers or some other really annoying mechanic while going "this is it... This is the unique mechanic I need to bring something new to the table!"
Honestly, a Mii costume is more than what I was expecting.
8:37 I like how he didn't say Sonic, because even after 10 years, Sonic has little to no faithful representation and is just barely in the game as a semi functional character. He still has 2 spin dashes, the complete wrong play style and no where near as much attention as any 3rd party from Smash 4 onwards got. Especially if they were DLC. Even Snake got it far better when he was added to Brawl, and I get thats because Sonic was a last second addition, but its been 10 fucking years since he was added and the only improvements he's got is /slightly/ fewer spinning moves and the reticle on homing attack from more modern Sonic games. Most of his moveset is still borrowed from other fighters, he still has two spin dashes, he still has way way way less attention to detail and love as any other 3rd party or DLC character gets.
He's just standing there, Menacingly!
When I saw Steve made in: "thats dumb but whatever...."
When I saw Travis was only a Mii costume: *Crying in the corner while eating Heathbar ice cream*
I thought Steve would be a joke, but he surprisingly looks fun.

maybe he'll drop materials in stamina mode
Half expected a Roblox "OOF", but then I remember "wrong game".
But you don't make any sound when you die in minecraft
6:01 actuall sakurai said in the byleth showcase that he made a specific gimmick for every DLC character, joker has arsene's power up, terry has the traditional figthing game inputs, banjo&kazoie have the gold rush, the hero has the magic system byleth has the different weapons depending on the direction output, min min has her arms, every DLC has a gimmick, sakurai said he purposely did this because he didn't want to just "add characters".
Kazuya has a second Rage Mode on top of the standard rage
Sora has his spells
If more DLC was ever announced take Goku for an example
He'd have standard moves, he'd have the Kamehameha special move, Ki blast spam, and a uppercut move
3 second Flying for recovery
A Ki Gauge, A special command to charge
Final smash can be a transformation or super Kamehameha
@@VoidJWKDDOUS goku is highly unlikely, sakurai has made it clear he just wants to add characters that started as videogame characters, plust quite frankly is lazy, heck I would love to sakurai to come back to it's roots and simply use obscure characters, is what has literally revive franchises like fire emblem and kid ikarus TBH, why bother with manga/anime characters when there's a pletora of videogames to choose from, getting outside video games (and no, the fact there's dragon ball videogames does not count) would honestly mess to what Smash bros has become, a celebration of videgame history, it has become so big the DLC announcements for smash get celebrated by people doesn't even own nintendo consoles, if they move to manga/anime it will open the floodgates to other media: comics, books, movies, tv shows, it really won't be special anymore, just a pop media sloppy mix.
Steve isn’t cheap.
*He’s top tier.*
Might be a little late but Minecraft isn't fully trying to look retro, instead its closer to "programmer art". Its what happens when your programmer (or the only dev) doesn't know how to make good looking things. "Loading textures? its easy if its only 16x16 pixels". "World generation? Every meter will be represented in the computer but one value so 1 will be stone and 2 will be dirt". Its function over form
So happy Max is reacting to this. This presentation was dope.

@@666slateran666 I think you're putting too much emphasis on the characters being put in. Remember we have wiifit trainer and Villager from animal Crossing fighting mario and Snake. Steve is a very welcome addition seeing how his game was apart of alot of people's childhood and how it basically changed the game in the gaming industry. The amount of attention to detail they put in Steve's moveset and how he plays shows the dedication and respect they gave the character.
And yes, Smash ultimate is a goofy game. That's the point of the game design of appealing to everyone.
Steve and Alex are technically not actually characters. They are just default male/female skins that you start the game with until you choose to upload your own custom skin.
Steve is gonna be a tough act to follow, mechanics-wise.
I feel like Steve will be one of those complex characters but when mastered its over powered
1:02 Sounds like if Steve was in MVC or some kinda shit he would say that, would love it tho, going full Captain America naming his moves
That's actually why I dislike Monster Hunter in MvCI. She absolutely should not be doing that shit since nobody speaks English in Monster Hunter and it's so jarring.
BIONIC ARM!
The most mind-blowing thing that always hits me about Smash is that if you're good at the game a character comes from, you'll generally be better at playing that character right off the bat. Like they bring their own reality spheres with them.
I don't think this will ever not look wrong. There's just something about the Steve being emotionless / emote-less that makes him more unsettling than Villager with an ax.

A "Funvee"?
Going off the detail tangent, there's also Joker where they basically made the AESTHETIC the stage & even made it match the aesthetic of Persona 3 or 4 if you play those songs during the match, the Arsene meter is the same color as the HP/SP bars depending on if Arsene is out or not, or how if you land the final blow with the final smash it shows the results on the splash screen just like when you finish a battle with an All-Out Attack in Persona 5 proper. (I love that detail so much that I have smash meter turned on online just so I can get the style points when possible)
Intro: Shut up chat! I'm coming! Shut up!

Minecraft Community: all Minecraft RUclipsrs would like to know your location
“Kids game”
Like almost every character in smash was made for kids.
When it comes to detail, I feel the only 3rd party character lacking in detail is Sonic. Probably because he was added last minute to brawl.
Its been 10 years since then though. They've had more than enough time to fix him.
Max wasn't joking when he said he knew jack shit about Minecraft.
I'm glad that Max's fast intro is almost exactly 10 seconds long, so I can skip the shit out of it easily with the double tap on mobile. Thx homie
The best comparison I found is that Minecraft is the modern-day equivalent of PAC-MAN.
7:28 I get what you're saying Max but there's only so far you can push this dev team. And Sakurai himself for that matter. This man gave us almost 80-90 characters. I think the poor guy's going to kill himself if he does anymore.
Especially since the pandemic limits their progress!
Steve's trolling potential is off the charts, and the accurate character design goes a long way towards that. Never has watching someone eat a steak made me so peeved.
Minecraft isnt really designed to look old, its just a game designed around being simple
And even with the basic-ass graphics it was still hard for some PCs to run it back in the day. I remember someone asking on a forum why their laptop couldn't run a game that "looks this bad" and people had to explain that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of individual, interactable blocks loaded at any one time. If all those blocks were natively hi-res, people with older crappier computers would've had an even harder time running it.
@@Poopscipade true, I think sometimes people really underestimate all the shit thats going on in the game

@@petershirou892 Modern Persona starts in mid-2006 with P3, which is essentially a different series than P1 and P2IS/P2EP, and is basically separated from that continuity completely other than some Demon designs, leitmotifs and a tiny reference here and there. But if we get technical, Persona is 24 years old, and Minecraft is only 11.
Yeah, the first Persona is from 1996 on the PS1. If we are talking about just Joker and Persona 5 then the year is 2016, in a sense like a lot of JRPGs’ new entries tend to don’t have direct connections with the past games, have new main characters or even be set on a different world (like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of, Xenoblade, etc.)
Minecraft was released on 2011 but the public alpha was around since 2009.
@@analyticalj8687 I was talking about Joker's first appearance itself in a video game ever, obviously Persona franchise has been around since the 90s but Joker designs doesn't compare to Persona 1's design.

@@crimsonchin4889 it's minecraft. How can you not know the basic knowledge of it's existence and running time?
7:58 What is worth noting here, there are no characters in minecraft that you can just put in the stage.
Minecraft has characteristics, not characters.
The behaviors, the way things break and the day and the night cycle, those are the equivalent of making a huge lineup of iconic KoF characters.
What you remember from a fighting game like KoF is characters and maybe stages,
what you remember from minecraft is the look, behaviors and interactions.
When they revealed Travis, I thought it was gonna be Travis Scott for a second haha. Wouldn't even be surprised if cactus jack was in smash either tho.

“I think they are borderline foolish to end Smash Bros at this DLC Season”
Just wait till Nintendo sees how much bank this Season will make after Steve. They’ll definitely consider more. This stuff prints money. It’s also probably easier for Sakurai to keep doing DLC then create an entirely new game
Or you know, they could make a sequel outright. Though probably not a direct sequel: Smash, but not limited to videogame characters.

@@cookiesnugglez7318 Yes. But we already have the Ultimate version. I'm talking about a new branch or spinoff outright so the videogame series can take a break.

As a technical player of Minecraft, Steve looks like fun to play with. I'm glad that redstone is sorta mentioned in his moveset. It would be a refreshment from regular vanilla Minecraft while I still have an interest of the source game.
So since Brawl and more so Smash 4 going into Ultimate, edge-gaurding has been downplayed to simmer down that competitive element of the game for casuals’ sake.
Except for Steve. Who has a Brawl Metaknight glide. Who can literally wall opponents off from making recoveries onstage, or make platforms offstage to edge guard with his while moveset while standing on a block. And imagine block canceling with block breaks while atop and grabbing an opponent. Online Sonic players have competition nowI guess.
his mobility is ass tho
worse jumps than little mac, weak standard attacks, required grinding for materials, etc.
he's gonna be fun but not OP, not even close
@@meyes5671 he is kinda like a character that need time to be strong so in 1vs 1 situation,Steve is going to trouble to make diamond sword but in FFA(free for all) he can use wood block and started mining while others fighting
Me Yes One can hope. His strengths might even compensate for his weaknesses considerably. His recovery probably isn’t that bad if he can place blocks while moving up. Like, damn. And depending on how mine carts work or if TNT can be used like snake’s c4 boosts, his recovery probably isn’t trash.
His neutral and tools for creating distance with aggressive opponents might suck though. But similar to Hero, I think Steve stands good chances of being a polarizing character. And Hero is by no means the best in the game-but man does his design competitive-wise suck pretty bad. Hopefully Steve is not that level of jank.
@@meyes5671 only OP if allowed his run of the place. Otherwise he's slim pickings.
@@Hibernial It appears that blocks DO reset his jump, but he does kind of lack good approach options and does have very limited range comparatively (yes his attack hitbox is disjointed, but it's still the tiniest sword.)
