The “t-bag” taunt isn’t a t-bag, in Minecraft that’s a gesture you make to say “hello” or to say “I’m friendly” when you’re in a multiplayer server. If someone walks up to you and you want to team up, say hi, or communicate you’re not a threat, crouching and uncrouching rapidly is just the thing that’s developed within the community as a way to say that. It’s even called the universal sign of peace online. The other taunt that isn’t him eating serves the same function but for people farther away, since jumping and punching makes you more obvious.

[@Nokyyyyy]

5:03 This gave me chills, it's so true. They could have put tons of things, like using a bow, a trident, potions, chests, water buckets (that should definitely be a tech animation), enderpearl (that could also be a roll animation, maybe ?), snowballs, golems and stuff But they managed to make a moveset that feels exactly like Minecraft, using stuff that almost everyone is familiar with. They didn't put a character from a game in smash. They put a character that represents you playing that game in smash. His smash gameplay is like playing Minecraft. Even his playstyle is like Minecraft, setting stuff that allow you to defeat monsters more easily with the tool you also created. I wanted to talk about the battles of his classic mode route and how accurate to the original game they are too. The spirits battles aren't as much as them tho. I think both Steve and Sora derserve the place of the last amash dlc, but putting Steve before Sora was a clever choice, breaking the internet with the hypest reaveal (looking at Twitter's fall), bringing back the attention lost with Byleth and Min Min (who are cool characters, don't get me wrong, just not really hype compared to the 9 others) and giving even more hope fo the 4 last dlc while still making Sora's possible inclusion uncertain (because of Disney). The opposite wouldn't work as well. I think I said everything I wanted to. Thanks for this awesome video, I love it. ❤

I was hesitant to expect Steve for a while but I definitely didn't expect to see him early in the smash ultimate dlc. And he is one of my mains. If he had a back special, maybe with a bow and arrow, then I'd say he would be broken.

@Weirdo no, there was a cheat code in brawl where if you input down taunt - up taunt - down taunt really quickly you could change to ZSS. At least I think that's the code, I haven't played Brawl in a while and even then I never played Samus.

[@ghostly-toaster3766]

I honestly think that Steve’s final smash was inspired by early and mid 2010’s videos. It just carries that essence of those videos.

[@MineSlimeTV]

The crouching up and down is actually a common gesture to signify being friendly! More than a teabag is to show you are either new or don't want to fight. Before it was the sword block combined with crouching too. Then got changed for the combat update. And jumping and swinging are just ways to try to get spotted by your friends you pay with! It does look neat and fun for how it works and I really enjoy it. Also your discussion about saying that you want an end goal. Had you ever imagined crafting your endgoal? Even if you want a straight path. I understand you find it bizarre to do something and what would be the purpose of it. Like, why build a house or a city or anything when you could just put a bed in the open with a light? But as always I am glad to see your stuff! Hopped in to see the video to see the video! Thank you Alax, as always!

[@Drip_Wooper]

the crounching up and down was already a thing, it meant the exactly same thing as the sword, only got more popular when the combat update came and sword defense stopped being a thing

I wish Steve's sleeping animation would blow up whenever he's in more of those lava-ry hell like maps.

The big problem with steve is that even battlefield or omega stages aren’t functionally because of the different tools used. One where he uses a shovel to dig is objectively better for him than one where he collects resources with an axe or pickaxe

Steve and co is probably the most unique fighting game characters people will probably see for a while. Everything about them breaks what would be considered possible in a fighting game, and the fact that it is implemented well, not perfect, but well, shows the dedication the smash team have. I particularly love Steve and Co's playstyle. Mind you I am far from an expert, put they seem to be very much some form a control fighter. As in they need to quickly determine the pace of the fight to there advantage. While that may seen as a no brainer to all characters, Steve and Co are especially equipped to handle that in their move set. I especially love it when a good Steve sets up a bunch of block a they forward smash their opponent into a rubgolberge machine of block, culminating in them somehow being spiked into the smash zone.

[@asterlofts1565]

This is the result of logging, digging, mining, swimming, climbing all kinds of slopes, surfaces and more, building things and tools and many more activities FOR YEARS... and it paid off for Steve. Good for the creative cube man. XD The power of the creativity and freedom.

"Why do the clouds on Magicant give wool?" Before they added concrete in v1.12, wool blocks were the easiest way to get custom colored blocks in Minecraft. Plus they're like one of the only blocks in the game which are soft and fluffy. Minecraft players just like building fake clouds out of wool I guess. Even the Super Mario Bros crossover world for Minecraft (which you get for free by buying the Wii U or Switch version of the game) has clouds made of wool.

Btw, Minecraft has end goals. So, you can "beat" the game. But you don't have to. You can basically do whatever you want. Some people just like to build. For example, there is a server currently where a lot of people together are building the entirety of "Middle Earth" from "The Lord of The Rings". There are people that try to beat the game as fast as possible. Some people just play survival mode forever and build their own world (houses, landscape and so on). Some people like to build working machines with "Redstone". Some people just like to fight each other in mini games (like Mario Party for example) on "Player vs Player" servers (online) and some people just like to modify the game with Mods. The game is still getting updates, by the way (for free).

Interestingly, the best Battlefield/Omega stage for Steve is actually one that uses Dirt due to Steve not making use of his Shovel outside of his Neutral Special. The Great Cave Offensive it is an interesting Strategic option, as it has Two Tools used.

Huh, that feels like a mistake, since they made all the Omega/BF stages have the same mats spread across the whole field, logically they should have all used the same tool Neat to know

You know what's funny, the part where you can ignite TNT with your fits can probably be seen as another reference to when before flint and steel was implemented into the game, you would be able to set TNT off just by right-clicking it.

[@9Tensai9]

More than anything, I'm so grlad that Alax got to experience Minecraft on it's simple glory. Btw The house of boom or "Trap room" is a reference to something. Not so much to the game itself but what the players do. For one, lots of people love building houses to trap or kill or torture their friends for fun. That's exactly what this is. Also when you play in a server is common place that people build fake doors or trap corridors so you fall on lava or suffocate or explode.
