What does everyone have against Steve being in Super Smash Bros? Hes the Mario Pokemon whatever today. And the indie's biggest success dream. If you want a Indie character in Super Smash Bros. vote for that guy.
@Yeahman: I'd say Steve is closer to the Shrek/Goku type character, people who want him in Smash are only doing it for a joke. People say that Cloud is the turning point where pretty much anything is possible but although his game was Playstation exclusive, the 6 previous Final Fantasy games were first on Nintendo consoles for several years so I can see argument where his inclusion isn't damaging to Smash. Minecraft however has been the source of a lot of Nintendo hate from the developers and things have only recently changed since Microsoft being in control.
That said, just like if licensing older U2 songs for a music game require licensing a song from the controversial "Songs of Innocence" album, the opportunity will be grabbed if Steve in Smash is the only way Microsoft will let Banjo be in too.
@DarthNocturnal: Notch, the head of Mojang before Microsoft bought the company constantly showed hate on social media for Nintendo and their products. Once Microsoft bought Mojang, Notch left and then the Nintendo hate stopped. So in reality, Minecraft on Wii U only exists because of Microsoft.
@Grumblevolcano Right...I remember this one tweet he made making fun of the Wii U...let me see if I can find it...
Here it is!: @NoirUsernameHere I'd rather have Goku than Freddy!
@Grumblevolcano: i think the only thing that Cloud confirmed is that while consistent Nintendo appearances aren't really necessary, a third party character has to be the type to have an insane level of popularity, and be instantly recognizable to even non-gamers. Even my grandma knows who Pac-man and Sonic are, and has heard of Street Fighter and Final Fantasy.

Mother 3 fan. It's an amazing game. 糸井さん、こんな素敵なゲームを作ってくれてありがとう!
You know what? I actually think Steve has a real shot at inclusion. There's only two problems I know of for him getting in: 1) While everyone and ther grandma knows about Minecraft here in the US, Steve isn't really the face of Minecraft. Hell, you don't even ever see him unless you're playing with other people who haven't changed his skin. 2) Time. Time is a serious issue, here. Steve would have to have particular and unique animations to properly represent Minecraft which would take a lot of time. Time being something Sakurai has stated he's running out of.
I would honestly have a similar feeling towards him as Pacman. I wanted someone else, but I suppose he deserves to be here. (Also, I wound up adoring Pacman, so bonus points.)
If we're going to start talking about Steve's chances, really, the only reason I could see for Steve being in is that people want indie characters like Shovel Knight and Shantae (though I actually would LOVE to see Shovel Knight in...haven't played the Shantae games, so I don't really have anything to say about her.), and Steve is an indie icon, arguably the face of indie gaming in that his game is arguably the most well-known indie title, so if you were to go with and indie character, it would make a little sense go with the main character of the most recognizable indie game.
Have you guys taken a look over the cast and realized just how diverse it is in style and design? There are so many art styles and genres present. Its to bad the Ice Climbers and Snake most likely won't be joining, but just take a look at the amiibo page and really look at the variety of characters we have.

Yes. That's part of what I love about Smash. I can pit serious, accurately proportioned characters like Robin and Link against ridiculous cartoony characters like Toon Link and Jigglypuff and it'd be perfectly normal.
If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
