Those in the pro-ban camp argued that Steve's simplicity helped less-skilled players win games they shouldn't, saying Steve 'carried' the player (example from shown below, left). Their ploy ultimately worked, as for several days, the competitive Smash community argued about the merits of banning Steve from the game. In a video interview with competitive Smash player LarryLur, a representative from the Lafayette region stated that they knew there were no top Steve players in their region, and that the ban was more to 'get a conversation going' about whether the character should be banned on a broader scale. On December 14th, LaffySmash, an esports organization in Lafayette, Louisiana, announced that they would ban Steve from their tournaments for two weeks.

The feeling was exacerbated on December 13th, 2021, when Tweek, generally considered one of the top three players in the world, was upset by a Steve player named DDog at a local tournament (shown below). This is due to the simplicity of Steve's combos to execute and high high damage output. Throughout 2021, the competitive Smash Ultimate community regarded Steve with increasing concern, as some felt that, when played at a high level, Steve could be potentially game-breaking, a la Bayonetta in Smash 4 and Meta Knight in Brawl. YouTuber Largetrap posted a parody of the Steve reveal trailer, showing Steve with a gun, gaining over 14,000 views (shown below). Fan art posted by showing Pac-man and Steve in a Minecraft house gained over 650 retweets and 2,400 likes (shown below, right). Twitter user joked that Freddy from Five Nights at Freddy's would be the next added character considering other surprising Smash inclusions (shown below, left). Others made memes about Steve's ultimate inclusion in the game after years of calls for it. 14L圜RsTvU- Playcenter 🎃 October 1, 2020 A clip of streamer Shokio saying people excited for the inclusion were 'mentally ill' was criticized on Twitter, as people noted that the inclusion was likely exciting to kids and players who wanted to see Minecraft in Smash (shown below).

Although the up special is an elytra glide, that doesn’t use resources. The side special is a Minecraft that needs iron to create the rails and the down special is TNT that you have to lay backwards and uses up lower grade resources. That’s what the neutral special is, rather than an attack of any kind, as you try to get a range of resources to power the other moves. The clever thing about playing as Steve is that everything other than swinging a weapon consumes materials, which you have to mine from the ground. None of them have much range, although the down tilt move starts a fire that can damage opponents and also burn to the ground if it’s on a platform. They all control in the same way though – so it’s really just a visual change – and their simplest attacks all revolve around using a sword or axe. fighter there are multiple different skins, with one representing his female counterpart Alex and two more for a zombie and an enderman. Although Steve has always been the main mascot of Minecraft (even if many people don’t know he has a name) as with any Smash Bros.
