Steve (Minecraft)
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released update. When the update is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the update was first released.
Template:Character-infobox Steve is the name of the default male skin playable character in Minecraft; the female default skin playable character is Alex. Steve has dark brown hair, a light blue shirt, blue pants, and grey shoes, and a dark, brownish pigmentation. Alex has long, red hair, a light green shirt, brown pants, grey boots, and a much lighter skin tone. Enemies in the game include a Zombie (a green-skinned version of Steve with no hair), and an Enderman (an entirely black humanoid-like figure with small, purple eyes, and skinny, tall legs).
The game, Minecraft, and its characters were created by independent video game developer company, Mojang Studios, which was wholly purchased by Xbox Game Studios in 2014. Steve, Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman were all confirmed to be a playable character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as downloadable content.
History
Minecraft
Steve is the default skin in all versions of Minecraft, with Alex being the other default playable skin available from the start. Before being named Steve, the model for the human player was added to the first public release of Minecraft on May 13, 2009. The character of Steve originally came to be referred unofficially to as "Steve?" by the game's creator,[1] but it was not until the game's official release out of beta in 2011 that the name "Steve" was made official (dropping the question mark). Zombies were added on September 1, 2009 to Java Edition Classic 0.24, Endermen were added on September 14, 2011 to Beta Update 1.8, and Alex was added on September 2, 2014 to Java Update 1.8.
The Super Mario Mash-up, available on Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and New Nintendo 3DS, adds forty different Mario-themed skins to replace Steve. Hammer Bros. replace the Zombies in the pack, while Endermen are replaced by Stilt Guys.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- SmashWiki article: Steve (SSBU)
Template:SSB Infobox On October 1st, 2020, Steve was revealed to be the second fighter of Fighter Pass Vol. 2 for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with Alex, Zombie, and an Enderman being alternate costumes for him[2]. The name on the character selection screen changes to "Alex", "Zombie", or "Enderman" while changing costumes for Steve, to reflect their differences, much like Captain Olimar and Alph are the same character, but get identified separately.
Steve's moveset consists of placing blocks that break over time, a piston and a fishing rod as part of his throws, throwing buckets of lava around himself, placing a TNT block with red stone leading to it, attacking with swords and pickaxes, using flint and steel to burn an opponent, collecting materials and crafting, riding minecarts, flying with Elytra wings, and a Final Smash that launches fighters into a dark room with Creepers and TNT.
Steve's home stage is based off the worlds from Minecraft, and said stage changes between day and night, changes its weather/biome, and features various elements from the game such as villagers, cows, sheep, skeletons and zombies in the background.

Trivia
- The model for Steve in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate uses a version of his face with a beard that was removed from Minecraft since Java Edition Classic 0.24 released on September 1, 2009.[3] Despite having been changed in-game for over a decade, this bearded version of Steve is still used in promotional artwork for Minecraft, including its game cover, and thus was most likely chosen for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, for being more iconic. The beard on Steve's face is often confused for a smile.
- Steve is the second Microsoft-owned playable character and the second playable character from a Western franchise added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; Banjo and Kazooie mark the first for both instances.
