NEW BROKEN STEVE TECH IN 2024

[@theimpersonator7086]

Steve about to win the world record for fighting game character with the most banned tech

[@Jelliott_ssb]

What’s funny is that steve isn’t even a top 10 most broken fgc

[@dogyX3]

​@@Jelliott_ssb who are the top 10? Steve's pretty darn broken

[@dove5032]

​@@dogyX3 Not in order (except for Ivan Ooz) 1. Ivan Ooze: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition 2. Pet Shop: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future 3.

Yeah but they lose against top players most of the time lmao

[@Its_Only_Chill]

Compared to every other character in the game, Steve is extremely complicated so it makes sense @iceflavors is the only smart one lol

[@darkdraconis]

​@@Its_Only_Chillyou didn't just say that... That's an absolute RIDICULOUS statement lmao

[@robwarriors62]

@@Its_Only_Chillclown comment. Have you even seen Steve gameplay - you mine, you uptilt, you minecart/anvil, you get diamond, you win.

[@Iceflavours69]

I think Its_Only_Chill meant Steve's skill ceiling is absurdly high to be able to use all of his techs efficiently in tournaments. "Complicated" doesn't mean weak, or easy. Yes he still has easy BnB but you can't win with just those alone.

[@MrGameguyC]

Right after Nintendo released another patch and still no balance changes.

[@obviouslyanonymous]

They ended balance changes ages ago lmao

[@timhiltz6323]

Is it just me, I feel like DK got buffed, his up b seems little faster, I might go to lab and count the frames.

[@Sunshine-eo2sp]

Steve gets buffed every 48 hours

[@loghen01]

Steve reminds me of the computer from “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”. It’s like the fucker keeps buffing himself, for no human hand, or will, was ever needed. Sakurai: “is there a God?” Steve: “There is now.”

[@KevSB07]

That’s an amazing and unexpected reference

[@nathanlevesque7812]

he's a bit better than the other top 10s

[@RaheemRollair]

The worst part is that GimR and Mew2King tried to warn us upon his release.

[@bcon1308]

Everyone else did also. People just didn't want to listen.

[@Pal42_]

​@@bcon1308Well izaw tried to warn us about the opposite

[@wishtyme]

Yes but no proof

I remember everybody being like "Oh, I think he's like high tier at most" and then Salem was like "he's the best character in the game".

[@sirblinkerton9506]

I tried to warn ppl too lol I’m a nobody but I stated he was the best in the game

[@MrGameguyC]

And now for good Steve players to never use these, leading to people downplaying him again and say he's not a problem.

[@minixlemonade2335]

Why ban a character if no one uses said things?

[@Maskuerade-Unseen]

​@@minixlemonade2335Because they don't want to see or play against said character. It's a childish mentality that the smash community has ever since post Covid.

[@tumultoustortellini]

​@@Maskuerade-UnseenWe as a community have right to ban the best character in the game if they are generally unfun, uninteractive, and corny to play against. Competitive spirit is good. You'd have more to apply and better ways to apply it, if you don't have to fight steve. Only steve players complain, but almost everyone else understands it. Why don't you?

[@obviouslyanonymous]

​@@tumultoustortelliniwe, as a community _haven't_ banned Steve. You aren't a community, don't talk as if your opinion is THE opinion. If the whole community wanted Steve banned, he would be banned, for the exact reason you just mentioned. You literally just explained this to yourself.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

Downplay from what? Aghghhh he has tech...?

[@emarythomp]

Ok guys this literally is game breaking. Like no tech these are literally glitches that shouldn’t be in the game. How is this not bannable???

[@kyallon1213]

Eh games already falling off and acola isn’t competing, it’s chill for now. Whenever a new Steve pops up, they can get the firing squad instead

[@Pedro999Paulo]

I am a Steve deffender (in the sesne of not banning), but I am starting to question my decisions

[@nathanlevesque7812]

Just another tech we can easily ban, but ppl will act like every single set at a tournament is a Steve ditto and all the TOs have to watch each set--just to make the tournament logistics sound crazy.

[@tashi321]

if any video uses bomberman redial as the background music i immediately think to myself "what good taste in music"

[@Nako3]

Steve has more options than the entire roster combined

[@andresa8209]

Personally go for it Rockman. The more you show the closer we can get to get it banned at CERTAIN tourneys (not all). hopefully.

And you know damn well the community will never ban this character even with all that stuff. Can't wait for tournaments to become even less fun to watch from now on.

[@Skeloperch]

Ultimate could've been a perennial fan favorite like Melee if not for FP2. If the DLC ended with Terry or Banjo everyone would've loved Ultimate.

[@TheLobsterCopter5000]

This is actually getting ridiculous now. We need a patch to take this stuff out...

[@sebastianandres6802]

Wow Steve truly is playing in gamemode 1

[@IJA_ItsaJokeAssociation]

I just wanted to play as the block man without him being so damn broken, apparently the universe’s response to that was “screw you”.

[@dewdesi]

"But if you feel like cheating" 😂😂😂😂

[@Jajazstdhd]

There are still People out ther saying steve is not the best charakter, like really they exist

[@luischeco3009]

Honestly, I'd love to see a video of "If they released a patch to fix steve, what would it include."

[@BrotherWitch123]

[@pwizandtheween3652]

Never understood why this character wasn't universally banned

[@Myst1c_OW]

because some "top 100 players" like to abuse him and would cry about it and not go to any events if we banned their only good character, and people dont want half of the pros to stop playing the game as our tourney scene is already pretty small

[@neverknowsbest.]

Cuz Steve is beatable. Sonix and spargo constantly body Steves and so do more players

[@rocketman093]

And in order to get a license from Nintendo for bigger tournaments you can't have any characters banned.

[@Caketurtle7]

@@rocketman093 the events arent liscened by nintendo or else it would have items and smash ball

[@pinkzki6473]

Just ban the character. Idc if his skill ceiling is high once you incorporate all this. But able to get out of disadvantage with an option no other character can do by breaking physics, another tech to stop hitstun to avoid death while he is right next to blast zone and at 999 damage. Avoiding even the most basic physics of frame 3 jump squat. The character is literally breaking physic rules that every other character can’t ignore. Simple Ban. Like I’ve never seen a more justified ban than this. Other character bans were a lot less reasoning than this character already has. I get it there’s only one real person representing this character. Don’t be like street laws that wait for serious accidents to happen before implanting stop signs, reduced speed limits, etc. there’s already a person stealing Majors with a character who is already rated all on accounts the highest tier character. Before Steve, S+ revolved around multiple characters. Steve literally knock all of S+ off and now in most/all tier list I have seen, he is in his own tier list at the top. Trying to keep this game pure with no bans is a fantasy at this point. Accept the character doesn’t belong.

[@seth8933]

Steve is like the evil king in Wreck It Ralph who invades a different game and doesnt care about their rules

[@bancrusher]

well a lot of these tech requires setup and are not very practical in real games unless you are fishing for it, and mis input in those scenarios probably means death

[@steealconwyrick1999]

All is broken tech is why Steve is the way he is in the Minecraft movie. They’ve punished him.

[@christsolos]

the 1st 2 alone breaks the game lmao

[@GarnitrexGaming]

So 1) this is hilarious. 2) I knew few people playing against Steve actually labbed and studied the character but 3) just shows that even the mains themselves still have labbing to do

that fact that he knew all this stuff but religiously went on the steve downplay campaign on social media for months low key annoying me and I defended him before lmao A lot of this is stuff that clearly is design oversight and would prob be patched if bandai namco or whoever cared enough lol

[@dartsam001]

This is the dark timeline you can't change my mind

[@buckledben]

I want to see steve vs brawl knight vs sm4sh bayo see who comes up as the most broken character ever

[@TheResidence.mp4]

I gotta say Steve and his playerbase give me a genuine distaste for this game. The fact that they KNOW this character is absolutely absurd and intentionally hide tech for weeks, months at a time (see PMLG) is ludicrous. I wish there was a Steve player who blatantly and unapologetically did all of the broken tech to win so the character can get banned.

[@plusah1268]

you say it like its easy. steve was never bannable. bayonetta in smash 4 was. thats why every single top player had a pocket bayo. no top players besides solo steve mains really get any results in bracket. and those results havent been impressive recently.

[@Sunshine-eo2sp]

Whenever I see this I don't think people understand how unapplicable a lot of the tech is or how much easier it would be to just do something else. Certain things like NILS, PBR, and footstool anvil are very applicable, but the general thought of a lot of Steve tech is "this is cool but diamond back air is safe anyways"

[@eatingyoshi4403]

​@@plusah1268that's because people hate playing Steve lol. There is a reason top players switch characters all the time but it's never to Steve lol

[@plusah1268]

@eatingyoshi4403 yeah. It's not that strve is op, it's that he plays the game so vastly different than chars like palu who can get away with mashing bair and calling that neutral. Top players don't want to bother with the time sink steve demands.
