**Sakurai stated that when Nintendo approached him about adding ''Minecraft'' content, he was at first skeptical of the idea, before deciding to go through with it. This has been misinterpreted by some to mean that he did not desire to do so. | **Sakurai stated that when Nintendo approached him about adding ''Minecraft'' content, he was at first skeptical of the idea, before deciding to go through with it.

*According to former ''Minecraft'' production director Daniel Kaplan, it took at least 5 years of negotiating between Nintendo and Mojang for Steve to appear in ''Smash''.<ref>https://twitter.com/Kappische/status/1311773807175180296</ref>. | *According to former ''Minecraft'' production director Daniel Kaplan, it took at least 5 years of negotiating between Nintendo and Mojang for Steve to appear in ''Smash''.<ref>https://twitter.com/Kappische/status/1311773807175180296</ref>. | ||
*Steve is the first fighter in ''Smash'' history to have a victory pose modified in an update. In this case, his Up victory pose was modified in [[List of updates (SSBU)#9.0.1|version 9.0.1]] so the Steak disappears after he finishes eating it.<!--SmashWiki is not speculative. Do not add unconfirmed explanations for this change.--> | |||
**He is the third fighter to have their victory screens modified in some way via updates, the first being {{SSB4|Robin}}'s slow-motion effect in one of his victory poses being improved upon in version [[1.1.1]] of ''Smash 4'', and the second being {{SSBU|Chrom}}'s victory theme being changed to fit the rest of the characters from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' in [[List of updates (SSBU)#3.0.0|version 3.0.0]] of ''Ultimate''. | |||
**Although it is unconfirmed if this was the actual reason for the removal, many players noted that the meat in Steve's victory pose had an unintentionally phallic appearance, to the point that journalists reported on it both before and after it was removed. In particular, Phil Spencer (head of the Xbox brand at Microsoft) was shown the pose and stated in response, "I assume that will be fixed."<ref>[https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/1319097009761112064 Stephen Totilo on Twitter]</ref> | |||
*For Zombie and Enderman, in French, Spanish, and German, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the" ("'''le''' Zombie"/"'''l'''{{'}}Enderman", "'''el''' Zombi"/"'''el''' Enderman", and "'''der''' Zombie"/"'''der''' Enderman"). This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s. | *For Zombie and Enderman, in French, Spanish, and German, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the" ("'''le''' Zombie"/"'''l'''{{'}}Enderman", "'''el''' Zombi"/"'''el''' Enderman", and "'''der''' Zombie"/"'''der''' Enderman").
