* Final Smash edits [[labelnote:Explanation]]Via mods, Byleth, Steve, and Sephiroth have received several meme-inspired edits to their Final Smashes, since their centerpieces can be easily edited. For Byleth, it's just an image swap and audio swap for Sothis, while for the latter two, their usage of [=MP3=] video files means that it's possible to put in a snippet of a video. One popular one for Byleth is [[https://twitter.com/willy_crescent/status/1457124305817456649 replacing]] Sothis with [=LowTierGod=]; Steve received popularity for the House of Boom being replaced with the scene from LetsPlay/{{Dream}}'s "Mask" of Dream receiving Normal Pills; and Sephiroth's was popularized by a video which replaced Safer Sephiroth with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYGU1Nw0f4s a Sephiroth-themed edit]] of the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HdGH3g-NoY OHHHHH SHIT, A RAT]]" meme.[[/labelnote]]

** The Dream is Dead! | ________ DECONFIRMED![[labelnote:Explanation]]A character being revealed as a Mii Fighter costume is treated by the fanbase as the death knell to their chances of actually joining the roster proper. Reaction videos to these announcements typically came with some combination of reactors saying their dreams were killed or the character was definitively deconfirmed. This was particularly apparent when the costumes for Geno and Dante were announced.[[/labelnote]]

*** R.I.P. Steve's Meat[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the victory screen was edited, many started [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin mourning the loss of Steve's meat.]][[/labelnote]]
** '''MINING AWAY'''[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgha9S39Y6M An infamous Minecraft parody]] (sound warning) of Music/AHa's "Take On Me" made a resurgence after Steve's announcement and is usually accompanied by Steve's nonchalance in mining and gathering materials in the middle of a heated battle.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hello, young lady!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In 2014, Website/YouTube channel Dudesons made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLsyhEAGJbQ Minecraft in Real Life Pranks]] video where a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wykFW8W8HQ clip of a Steve cosplayer talking to a young girl]], only for her to [[GroinAttack groin-kick him]], became rather memetic. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5myLb8GbbAE And now that Steve is in Smash,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkSllylyw2I the meme is recreated with Steve talking to any of the female fighters,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5nJjARQjFc usually Peach.]][[/labelnote]]

** Custom Skins[[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke spawning about how Steve has different skin options in his original game. There have been several mods about this, with mainly Minecraft [=YouTuber=]s being involved. One of the most common jokes is recreating the LetsPlay/{{Dream}} vs WebVideo/{{Technoblade}} battle in Smash. What helps is that Steve's ingame texture is literally exactly the same layout as the ones used in Java Edition that players can edit.[[/labelnote]]

* Everyone hates everyone [[labelnote:Explanation]]Within the online community and ''especially'' within the subreddit ''r/smashrage'', every character on the roster [[https://twitter.com/jiwasHere/status/1259713633044566017 has some group of]] [[https://twitter.com/UltimateViolet/status/1263989060747608065 people that hates them]] for things such as unique abilities and skills no other character has, ThatOneAttack within a character's moveset that many despise, unattractive playstyles heavily associated with certain characters, any scale of either HighTierScrappy or LowTierLetdown (or in some cases, a low tier character that someone insists on secretly being broken), and/or just simply existing in the game at all (especially in regards to highly-demanded characters that have yet to be added). Discrimination based on any of these factors is ''very'' common within the community, to the point where if you post a clip of you landing a zero-death or some other impressive feat online, no matter who you play, there will be someone complaining about the character you were playing in the clip, which naturally led to jokes exaggerating this by claiming nobody in the community actually likes any character, and that the only way to make the game "fair" is [[https://twitter.com/celestiictown/status/1263999452647436295 to remove the entire roster from it]].[[/labelnote]]
