I'm neutral on him, having never played Tekken.

Well, after watching his presentation, he’s about as interesting as I expected, which is to say he’s not interesting in the slightest.
Having the original stick inputs was kinda neat the first time, but now that we’ve reached the 4th character to do this it’s kinda boring. Isn’t the entire point of smash from a mechanical standpoint to be easy to learn due to only having 4 directional inputs? I get that kazuya wouldn’t feel right without them, and I’m not saying that having characters with more than 4 directions should be outright done away with, but I feel like we’re starting from the point a little here.
Aside from that there’s very little mechanically that really leaves an impression. His neutral special is pretty neat, I’ll give him that, but aside from that all of his moves just seem kinda uninteresting. His various combos exist, but once again that kinda defeats the purpose of Smash in the first place. This isn’t Tekken, I shouldn’t have to memorize the combination to the safe at Fort Knox, the lyrics of Modern Major General, the opening paragraphs of every single Sherlock Holmes story, and the first 327 digits of Pi just to unleash a string of punches.
His “revenge” gimmick is just a worse version of Terry’s and Sephiroths. He gets a new move at a certain percent, but only one, and he can only use it once. It’s better than Pyra and Mythra gimmick of swapping between Mario and Dr.Mario, but not by much.
The Mii Fighters were once again the clear highlight of this presentation. I don’t think Dante, Shauntae, or the Dragonborn really had a chance of making it in, and they more than deserved at least a Mii costume, and I’m always happy to see a character I don’t want in smash get deconfirmed like Lloyd.
Overall, 4/10 update. Really could’ve been better.

Steve is like the biggest downside of this entire Fighter Pass. He's by and large nothing more than a meme pick, having gotten in based on popularity alone.
Also, calling this pass a complete waste of time and money is a huge No. The Smash team might be small, but they put a lot of effort into building each character practically from scratch. It's important to acknowledge their hard work, and that even extends to Fighters like Steve.
Steve is literally the only character in this pass that’s iconic enough to deserve to be in smash bros. He’s no more a meme than Sephiroth is, and is just as iconic as Mario and Link. If anyone should be in smash, it’s Steve, not some nobody RPG characters like Pyra/Mythra.
That’s absurd. Obviously they put a lot of work into it, but the put work into the wrong aspects. I don’t give people participation trophies. If their product is crap, I tell them that, even if they put a lot of care and effort into it. Most of the DLC characters have ranged from underwhelming to complete garbage, and therefore this fighters pass was a waste of time and money.
What.

but sephiroth is iconic
Eh, not really. More iconic that most of the other DLC characters, sure, but unless you’re an RPG fan or just knowledgeable in gaming in general you’re not gonna know who he is
You’re right, Steve is actually more iconic than Link

I don’t play RPG’s but I know who he is.
A Minecraft "character" more iconic than the Legend of Zelda? No way.
you don't get to decide what's wrong, they've done great work representing each of these characters, even for a meme character like steve, if you think the fighters pass is such waste then quit following it, you're complaining about frivolous ****

Exactly.
You’re generally knowledgeable in gaming, aren’t you?
Minecraft is the highlight selling video game ever created. It’s outsold every single Zelda game and spinoff combined. It has more active players than any one thing Nintendo has every created. It’s really only beaten in how iconic it is by Mario and Pokémon, and only because they have more titles.
Best-selling ≠ iconic.

Correct.
Except I do. I get to decide what I think is wrong and what I think is right. You do to. If you think it’s bad, you can. Don’t like that I have a different opinion on what’s good and what’s bad? Suck it up, buttercup. I’m allowed to dislike things. I’m following the fighters pass because I don’t want, it to be a waste, obviously. The “lol just don’t buy it” argument is incredibly stupid because it doesn’t resolve the issue.
no, but it’s a pretty damn good indicator of how iconic something is.
