@Morpheel Actually, I thought about that same thing earlier, today. A fully destructible Minecraft stage would be amazing. I mean, instantly banned, but amazing. Minecraft music wouldn't really make for good battle themes, though. Probably get in, regardless. Probably have some remixes, too.
@Yeahman A lot longer than you think, and animation is only one obstacle they'd have to overcome. Someone beat me to the list of stuff that needs to be done, but essentially, a character with new and unique animations would take a fair amount of time to make.
@DarthNocturnal Well, we know the game has been on Nintendo's list since at the latest, the beginning of November, but even then, there's no reason to assume Sakurai had any knowledge of this, since he's not actually a Nintendo employee. Even if he did know, it may not have occurred to him to do that right away, and at this point, I don't think he has any more surprises that won't be derived from the ballot (though I wouldn't mind being proven wrong). Even then, if he were to start on Steve right now, he'd likely be able to keep the team together for one last character DLC pack after the one we all feel certain is coming, this month. So that doesn't bar him from entry.
On the flip side, I still insist that Steve not being the well-known face of Minecraft hurts his chances. Yes, I realize Minecraft doesn't have a well-known face that would work particularly well as a character. In my opinion, if Minecraft ever gets a rep, it's going to be Steve, but not being the face of Minecraft still hurts his chances.
I think Steve fighter/Minecraft stage could happen but I think different setup is more likely. Something like Banjo's chances being largely improved to due to the better relationship between Nintendo and Microsoft shown by Minecraft Wii U existing. Maybe there's even a deal like Microsoft saying "We will let you have Minecraft for Wii U (and NX) but only if you let Banjo be in Smash." (you could argue the same logic for Square Enix and Cloud, it doesn't seem unrealistic anymore for the FFVII remake to come to NX)
Well who knows, they might have more content, butt as said this is just the last direct, they could pop in a character or two in actual directs and such, either way I'M VERY H̶U̶N̶G̶R̶Y̶ HYPED!
I know I asked thus before, but I've just completely forgotten. Did anyone actually confirm that this would be the final Smash direct? Or is it just speculation (albeit very reasonable speculation)? Cause I just don't remember any kind of official statement saying this would be the final one, but it DOES seem likely that it's the last Smash-specific broadcast until Smash 5 is on its way, even without any statements backing it up.
wow... right before my last exam day... I can't watch it then. Let's just hope it doesn't get leaked? I hope the recent patch doesn't give the possibility of leaks because leaks really do ruin surprises. Now while we are at it...

I guess it does make more sense to have the Direct next week over this week. If FAST Racing NEO does well then maybe Nintendo will task them with doing a new F-Zero game like how Platinum is working on Star Fox (Platinum proved their potential with Bayonetta 2).
