How Steve Broke Smash Ultimate - A Character Analysis
Steve is likely the strongest character in smash ultimate and one of the most oppressive characters in all of smash history. But you may wonder exactly why? Today I will be taking a deep dive into one of the most divisive characters ever added to smash and a bit about the history of the character.

    I still don't understand why Nintendo never made an emergency balance patch just to fix Steve after the patches were discontinued. Just one patch that would fix the bugs and change how Steve has way too many free interactions in some way. But nooooo.

    @flamingoflyer8009 6 днів тому

    I think the problem with mine-cart is that it can be a hit-box or projectile command grab. If it were either or, it would be good but not super broken. Making it both was an oversight. I think it should just be a grab because that matches its design in Minecraft, but you cannot ram someone with a mine-cart in that game.

    8 minute timer is way too long. There are like no timeouts, and that's not a good thing. When timeouts do happen, they always suck because it's always the result of a full 8 minutes of camping.

    @hdckighfkvhvgmk 7 днів тому

    Well after hearing this video's thoughts on steve here's how I would go about nerfing him: 25% less HP on all blocks Iron is 33% less common when mining diamonds take 50% longer to acquire (either that OR he does not respawn with them once dying) overall damage bonus of diamond tools reduced by 5% Minecart costs 2 iron. Steve respawns with 1 less iron. Part of me thinks this will just exacerbate the campy behavior but I also hope that in theory it would give people more opportunities to approach and would also force steve to be less liberal with spamming his overpowered moves, with the reduced block hp making it easier for most to break down the wall(tm) and approach before steve can get too much mining done. Just some food for thought.

  • @DoctorFalchion
    @DoctorFalchion 7 днів тому

    1:47:30 "[...] a lot of top players have proven that their character can not only beat Steve, but also win entire tournaments." For the record, acola has won 5/6 tournaments he's entered in the last six months. Not saying this proves anything about Steve, considering this is far from the most dominant tournament string we've seen in Smash, but the claim that many people can win tournaments against him is more debatable now than ever.

  • @Pyco_
    @Pyco_ 7 днів тому

    Steve placing blocks makes me unsure how to feel about if he should be banned or not. If they are willing to ban stages for things like a cave of life or an unfair layout, Steve being able to recreate those situations whenever almost makes it feel like banning stages pointless.

    i’m sorry but not 2 minutes in and i’m getting fed propaganda that early ult was much more balanced than ult is now when there were entire characters that did not function on day 1. compare that to a little fucking cracked out rat who would kill at 80 by hitting one of the easiest two frame moves ever conceived like say what you want, ultimate from 13.0.1 onward is a much more balanced game despite the lack of recent patches.
