|utiltdesc=Steve quickly swings his axe above himself. Similarly to his neutral attack/forward tilt/neutral aerial, Steve is able to repeat the attack by holding down the attack button, and can jump or walk forward or backward while he is doing this. Both moves have low upward knockback, making them useful as combo starters/extenders. Unlike up air, if he jumps while using this move, continues using it while airborne and then lands, he will not suffer landing lag. The hitbox reaches slightly to the left and right of Steve, allowing it to hit standing characters of average height.

|dtiltdmg=0.8% (loop hit), 6.4% (last hit){{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|dtiltdesc=Steve uses flint and steel to create a flame with a lingering hitbox in front of himself. The flame is a looping multi-hit attack, with the final hit launching opponents. If Steve uses this move at the end of a platform or near a ledge, the flame travels downward, allowing him to [[edgeguard]] and [[2 frame punish|2-frame]] opponents, although this is most effective on characters with underwhelming recoveries since the flame sends at a diagonal angle. While it has a long-lasting hitbox, it has very low ending lag, giving it solid combo potential. It can be used to trade with weaker projectiles as well. This move does not use up durability points. Can be reflected and absorbed. Due to being a projectile, Steve experiences no hitlag, however the projectile itself does, delaying later hits relative to Steve and causing the opponent to be trapped for longer if all hits connect, thus reducing Steve's effective ending lag.

|uairdesc=An axe swing identical to up tilt, but with less ending lag. Very weak, but very spammable; the gold version has the lowest total duration of any aerial attack in the series (in fact beating {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s {{Mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|up aerial|alt=infamous up aerial}} in ''Brawl''), while all other versions last the same amount of time as the aforementioned attack. This speed easily allows up aerial to combo into itself and other aerials, though because of Steve's poor mobility, it is not easily abusable like Meta Knight's up aerial. Placing blocks and using a combination of up aerial and up smash's looping hits can slowly drag opponents up towards the top blast zone to set up extended combos. Unlike up tilt, it cannot transition into a ground variant, and upon landing with up air, Steve will suffer some landing lag; however, oddly, when up tilt transitions into an aerial variant and then lands, it does not incur landing lag and the move is not interrupted.

|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|18}} (normal), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}} (cancelled), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (re-fall){{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|dairdesc=A powerful [[stall-then-fall]] in which Steve drops an anvil directly below himself while standing on it. The move can be canceled, a first for a stall-then-fall; if it is canceled, then Steve will jump off of the anvil, but it will continue falling. The jump does not use up Steve's double jump. After landing, the anvil remains on the stage for a brief amount of time before disappearing, which can block opponents or be stood on. If the ground under the anvil disappears or is destroyed before the anvil disappears, the anvil will start falling again. The anvil has incredible knockback and high damage, being capable of KOing grounded opponents as early as 88%, making it the strongest down aerial in the game. It is also notoriously powerful for contesting against juggles or upward attacks, due to its damage giving it very high [[priority]], and its knockback being capable of KOing even earlier near the top blast lines. This move uses up one piece of iron and does nothing at all if Steve does not have any iron. If an anvil has been dropped recently, Steve cannot drop another until it disappears on its own, or after a short time if it is dropped offstage. The anvil counts as a projectile until it lands, even while Steve is riding it. Steve can mine a stationary anvil for iron, redstone and rare materials.

|pummelname=Grab Punch ({{ja|つかみパンチ|Tsukami Panchi}})

|pummeldmg=1.5%{{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|pummeldesc=A punch. Unique compared to other pummels, being marginally slower but stronger than similar pummels like {{SSBU|Mario}}, but slightly faster and weaker than stronger pummels like {{SSBU|Bowser}}. He shares this distinction with {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Min Min}} and {{SSBU|Pyra}} & {{SSBU|Mythra}}.

|fthrowdmg=3% (hit 1), 6% (throw){{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|fthrowdesc=Steve stands on a piston and uses it to launch the opponent forward. It is a [[semi-spike]] with very high base knockback, but rather low growth, as it can only KO middleweights past 140% at the ledge. With rage, it is capable of being a KO throw. This move does not use up durability points.

|bthrowdmg=10%{{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|bthrowdesc=Steve throws the opponent backward with the fishing rod. Rather weak and easy to DI due to its diagonal angle, and sends the opponent diagonally, making it a mediocre option for setting up edgeguards. This move does not use up durability points.

|uthrowdmg=3% (hit 1), 8% (throw){{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|uthrowdesc=Steve places the opponent on a piston launching them upward. Like forward throw, it has very high base knockback, but average growth, making its KO ability rather average. With rage, it is capable of being Steve's strongest KO throw. This move does not use up durability points.

|dthrowdmg=7% (anvil), 8% (throw){{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}} {{!!}}

|dthrowdesc=Steve throws the opponent on the ground before an anvil drops on them, launching them forward and consuming a piece of iron. Without sufficient iron, no anvil will appear, and Steve will simply throw the opponent onto the ground, making it weaker overall. Both versions are good for use in combos at low percents, with the anvil version dealing 15% total and being the second most damaging throw in the game (surpassed by {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s up throw which deals 16%). The anvil can be reflected.
