Its ironic that of the 3 most recent FE games in Smash (Awakening, Fates and Houses), its Fates that gets the alt amiibo for its character. I thought with the success of Awakening and Houses that Female Robin and Female Byleth were guaranteed to gets amiibos.

Shame. I would have bought them.

But, anyway, give me my damn Banjo-Kazooie amiibo now.

Yeah, I'd rather have had P2 Byleth if the option had been presented, not gonna lie. Happy I can keep my amiibo collection addiction going though. And that we'll always have a Banjo-Kazooie amiibo as proof they were in Smash for future generations to behold.

maybe the alt amiibos didn't sell as much as the originals.

Okay, Super Smash Bros. Ragnarok should just ship with nobody. The DLC is so much better than inbox fighters, everybody should get rebooted and be DLC.

So Steve is a Glacier Wiff?

and in other news, I think Rillaboom deconfirmed they can't be different enough after what we got with Steve. Haggis cancel the DLC I don't think they can fallow up that.

Actually, after Byleth, Rillaboom seems even more likely.

And don't come towards me with that "No two representations in one game" bullshit, it has been this way since Melee. They literally did the same thing with Robin and Corrin.

[up] "No two reps"? What kind of bullshit fanrule is that? Mario and Pokemon get two new reps in nearly every game (exceptions being Brawl for Mario and Ultimate for Pokemon).

Joker, Hero, and Byleth being limited to amiibo of just the primary art is probably because of a scaling back on amiibo in general. This year has had a grand total of four amiibo come out, and amiibo other than Smash Bros. are not all that common.

I'm actually genuinely shocked that they released amiibo for the Super Mario 3D World remake... and then they had the gall to make them alt versions of Mario and Peach instead of a new character entirely...

Hoo boy does Steve look gimmicky and complex. Fun, though.

I'm wondering what happens if you break all your tools, though. Can he mine with just his bare fist?

Also what happens if you try to mine the Bulborb on the Distant Planet stage? tongue

I couldn't believe all that time in the showcase just for his B move. That was crazy. Its like 3 moves in one.

All the extensive work put into this fighter package shows that Sakurai doesn't hate Minecraft or he was forced at gunpoint by Nintendo to do it. You could argue that he somewhat dreaded the idea of making Steve just because of all the work into it, but he didn't hate it.

Presumably, it's a singleplayer world. Or he has backups.

Plus you assume he wouldn't just find your world and destroy yours. Look at the prank he made Steve's Final Smash be, he's obviously got the mind of a griefer.

Finally got to see the Steve breakdown. Was it really a good idea to make Steve this micromanagey?

I figure there are a lot of Minecraft players who are going to get Smash just to play Steve in a fighting game. They'd already have to put up with a rough adjustment period if Steve was just an ordinary rushdown character or simple zoner; now, they'd need to learn an extremely technical keepaway/deep edgeguard playstyle with heavy resource management while Ness spams PK Fire in their faces and Min Min punches them from across the stage. I can't imagine that would be all that fun for them.

If they're coming from Minecraft, they should have some prior experience with on-the-fly resource management and keeping an eye on their status/location.

He looks like he'll have a higher learning curve than most, but despite the complexity it looks easier than Rosalina or even Olimar. Most of the gimmick boils down to just mining resources when you have spare time.

I feel like Steve will be a lot like Pac-Man, where he's pretty easy to understand on a basic level but when you get really good with him it looks like you're playing 4-dimensional chess.

I also wonder how TOs will handle stage selection now that Steve is known to have stage-dependent mechanics.

I will be very happy if Lylat gets banned.

With Sakurai emphasizing repeatedly that mid August Steve and Final Steve might be different, I bet that several of his moves will get tweaked a bit to not make him too overpoerful, like his edgeguard options.
