This makes perfect sense, Minecraft is as important to a lot of younger folks as any of the other characters are to folks here.
Nothing about this seems out of place to me?

love when a Smash DLC character gets revealed and hated online because it always gets my Hard Drive article reshared and proven true lol

There are way too few degrees of separation between Mario and QAnon for my tastes now

This is undeniable to me I just wish they’d taken some creative liberties with the character design. Like I don’t think any other character looks exactly as they do in Smash bros. compared to their original game and I think the Minecraft edges could have been sanded down a bit or been given a less drab colour palette.
Who knows what was stipulated in the contract though.
Oh wow, one of the alt skins is the official Swedish folk costume
Guess I finally have an official nationality representation in a fighting game… Wait nevermind, forgot about Tekken Lars.

thinking about how between banjo, minecraft bloke, and the cuphead and vault boy costumes, we got at least 4 different microsoft-owned characters represented in smash
master chief/doomguy when?

to be pedantic microsoft doesn’t own cuphead/studio mdhr (i think?) but your point still stands
wouldn’t be surprised to see something no one asked for like battletoads mii costumes

It might be a while considering the Joker and Dragon Quest Hero Amiibos only come out tomorrow but realising that they will eventually make one that just looks like this

5 years in the making apparently.
Around the time Minecraft was coming out to its first Nintendo console.

I actually love this though. I wish every character in smash bros had their own disparate art style. The DLC has really elevated this game closer to the MUGEN ideal of all these characters leaking mechanics from their own games with stuff like the persona 5 menu effects, the Hero spell casting, and now full minecraft block placement. I don’t even know where they can go from here beyond delivering some wild line clearing mechanics with a tetris block fighter or something

actual for real first thing I thought of when watching the minecraft guy video was “hmph, nice try, call me when they add a random grouping of tetrominos”

Anybody tried the Travis Touchdown burger?

Travis was one of my picks, so it’s a bummer to see him get hit with the de-confirm like that

Mechanics breakdown for anyone who missed it
Cute that the axe is the upward facing attack since this is how it’s commonly used to get rid of trees.
The fact that mined materials are determined by what the stage is made of is so bizarre and I look forward to seeing how this plays out in the meta. There’s a fixed spawn rate for Omega and Battlefield stages but not sure what’s currently legal otherwise in Ultimate.
Block creation is an insane recovery/zoning tool. You can literally create body-blocking platforms on the fly if you have resources.

I really thought that they would balance placing blocks by making it so they would have to be connected to something first like in actual Minecraft. Being able to just do it in the air wherever seems like it could be very busted but we’ll see I guess.

Depending how these work this will probably make it a 9-1 matchup against belmonts.
Who the hell is Travis Scott?
