'''Steve''' ({{ja|スティーブ|Sutību}}, ''Steve'') is the name used to refer to the default skin of the main character in {{uv|Minecraft}}. '''Alex''' ({{ja|アレックス|Arekkusu}}, ''Alex'') is the name used to refer to the default skin for the slim player model, added to ''Minecraft'' in 2014.
'''Steve''' ({{ja|スティーブ|Sutību}}, ''Steve'') is the default skin in ''{{s|wikipedia|Minecraft}}'', the best-selling game in the world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Minecraft still incredibly popular as sales top 200 million and 126 million play monthly|url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/18/21262045/minecraft-sales-monthly-players-statistics-youtube|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=May 18, 2020|work=The Verge|accessdate=October 1, 2020}}</ref>
 
==Origin==
Steve is the default skin of the Player in {{uv|Minecraft}}. The name Steve was invented by developer Markus "Notch" Persson as a joke and was often formatted as "Steve?" prior to being formally adopted as the default name of the avatar.<ref>{{cite web|title= "I honestly have no idea. And I tend to always put a question mark after his name (Steve?), you know. :D"|url= https://twitter.com/notch/status/6825860292157440|author= Notch|date= November 22, 2010|accessdate=October 1, 2020}}</ref> Before this, the name "Mr. Minecraft" was used for a guest role in ''Super Meat Boy.'' The character of Steve, along with the rest of the ''Minecraft'' world, is intended to be gender-neutral so as to avoid forcing the player to make decisions about gender.<ref name="gender"/> Despite this, as Steve has a traditionally "masculine" appearance and name, a feminine alternative named Alex was introduced in 2014; choosing Alex adjusts the model's arm proportions to be thinner, which is officially referred to as a "slim" model. In August 2022, Steve and Alex received an update on their model, now fitting with Jasper Boerstra's modern design of ''Minecraft''. The changes include folded sleeves for both characters, smoother skin, hair, and clothes textures, and the return of Steve's unused beard from its long-outdated texture in 2009. During Minecraft Live 2022, seven more default characters were added to the game alongside Steve and Alex (namely Zuri, Sunny, Noor, Makena, Kai, Efe, and Ari), granting a total of nine default skins to choose from.
 
In ''Java Edition'', it is possible to customize the avatar's appearance with a template (allowing for entirely player-made appearances), while other versions of the game offer skin packs and mash-up packs (mostly based on public domain characters, other gaming properties such as {{uvm3|Fallout}}, {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}}, and {{uv|Mario}}, and non-gaming media such as ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Simpsons}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Adventure Time}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Stranger Things}}''). Within the limited lore of the game, Steve and Alex are indicated to simply be vessels of the actual player's manifestation in the ''Minecraft'' world, having no other discernable personality or role. Most of Steve and Alex's abilities come from tools. Unarmed, they are capable of walking, running, jumping, crawling, punching, and crafting small items (on a two-by-two grid). These abilities are augmented by the tools they create (usually on a Crafting Table, which utilizes a three-by-three grid). As a sandbox game, ''Minecraft'' has a variety of options available to the player depending on their playstyle: mining, building, farming, hunting, and adventuring are only a few.

===As a playable character===
In the October 1st presentation, Steve was revealed to be the next fighter, with more information to be revealed prior to Minecraft Live 2020. He is currently the fifth third-party DLC character added into the game. His appearance and animations appear identical to his iteration in the original ''Minecraft'', with the ability to place blocks, mine for materials, and use items from within the game. His [[Final Smash]] is a giant Piston which smashes players into a stronghold, with Creepers blowing up the house while Steve eats a piece of steak.

On October 1st, 2020, Steve was revealed to be the fighter included in [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|Challenger Pack 7]], with more information revealed two days later, prior to Minecraft Live 2020. His appearance and animation are nearly indiscernible from his iteration in ''Minecraft'', with the ability to place blocks, mine for materials, and use items from within the game. In his [[Final Smash]], [[House of Boom]], Steve uses a giant piston which smashes players into a stronghold filled with TNT, with Creepers detonating the explosives. Alex, a [[Zombie]], and an [[Enderman]] also each appear as {{SSBU|alternate costume}}s of Steve.

===As a costume===
[[File:Diamond Armor Mii Costume SSBU.jpg|thumb|left|A set of Diamond Armor as a Mii Swordfighter costume.]]
The Diamond Armor that players can craft and wear appears as a DLC {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costume. The costume additionally wields a diamond sword, which is longer than in ''Minecraft'' in order to fit the proportions of the Mii Swordfighter's sword.
 
In the trailer, several Mii Swordfighters are seen fighting a [[Rathalos]], mirroring a multi-player fight against the Ender Dragon.

Rool]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], who were created by [[Rare]] in the United Kingdom, and [[Dark Samus]], who was created by [[Retro Studios]] in the United States.
*Steve is the first playable character in ''Smash'' history to come from an indie (independent-developed) game.
**Steve is the first playable character created outside of Japan to not have had any involvement from Nintendo in his conception.
*Prior to Steve's inclusion, characters from {{uv|Mario}}, {{uv|Pac-Man}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, and {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}} have appeared as official skins in the Bedrock version of ''Minecraft''.
**Being created in Sweden, Steve is the first non-Japanese fighter to originate from a non-Anglophone country.
**Steve is also one of few playable characters to belong to a non-Japanese company, [[Microsoft]], with the others being Banjo, Kazooie (both also from Microsoft), and [[Sora]] (from [[Disney]]).
*Steve is the first fighter in ''Smash'' history to come from an originally indie (independent-developed) game.
**Although Mojang Studios has been a part of Microsoft since 2014, Steve was introduced to ''Minecraft'' in 2009, when the company was known as "Mojang Specifications" and was fully independent.

*Steve is the second playable character in ''Smash'' to have debuted on a home computer platform, following [[Solid Snake]]
*Steve's default design in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is almost entirely taken from a long-outdated texture of the character only featured in very early versions of ''Minecraft'', with his beard (often confused for a smile) being removed in September 2009, only four months into development. Despite this, Steve continued to sport the beard in merchandise and promotional material (including ''Ultimate'') in the years following, culminating in the beard's official re-addition, nearly 13 years later, as part of a redesign of Steve's ''Java Edition'' in-game texture in August 2022.
-the intro part where mario get blown up by creepers may be a refence to the creeper aw man meme.
**''Minecraft'' creator Markus Perssons originally designed the "Steve" texture for a short-lived game project, known only as "Zombie Town", developed for the 2009 {{s|wikipedia|Java 4K Game Programming Contest}}<ref>[https://archive.org/details/ZombieTown_Video], The only known footage of the abandoned "Zombie Town" game.</ref>.
