Super Smash Bros. Ultimate producer Masahiro Sakurai finally revealed the next DLC fighter for the game!
The new challenger will be none other than Steve from Minecraft! Along with Steve, the trailer also reveals Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman – which will be alternate skins for the character.
About Steve
He is an upcoming playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and will be the second third-party representative from Microsoft after Banjo & Kazooie.
They were confirmed as a playable character on October 1st, 2020 as the second downloadable character from Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman will also appear as alternate costumes. Steve is classified as fighter #77.
Steve’s model and movement appear nearly identical to that of Minecraft, retaining the same blocky appearance and limited animation in contrast to other fighters.
Steve is able to crawl in a manner resembling Minecraft’s sneaking mechanic.
Steve’s weapon stays in their hand momentarily depending on the move they use.
Other alternate costumes are taken from the default selection of skins offered to players on the “Legacy Console” and “Bedrock” Editions of Minecraft, namely “Tennis” Steve and Alex, “Scottish” Steve and “Swedish” Alex.
