After a long period of silence, {{SSBU|Steve}} was announced as the second fighter in Fighters Pass Vol. 2, aligning with Vergeben's longstanding claim of {{uv|Minecraft}} content. In regards to how it came over two years after his initial claim which was long before the second Fighters Pass was even conceived, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/79011455?jumpto=103#103 theorized] that Steve may have been in the works for as long as three years and repeatedly scrapped and revitalized due to the fighter’s complexity (as Sakurai mentioned during the character's initial announcement). This is supported by a statement by a former Mojang employee [https://twitter.com/Kappische/status/1311773807175180296 saying] that discussions surrounding adding ''Minecraft'' to ''Smash'' started "at least 5 years ago" -- roughly when ''Ultimate'' entered development. | After a long period of silence, {{SSBU|Steve}} was announced as the second fighter in Fighters Pass Vol. 2, aligning with Vergeben's longstanding claim of {{uv|Minecraft}} content.

When asked for an update on Ryu Hayabusa's chances, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/79011455?jumpto=162#162 stated] that he knew for a fact Nintendo met with Koei Tecmo to discuss ''Super Smash Bros.'' and that he would be surprised if nothing came of it, but he was not able to confirm if Ryu Hayabusa or any other Koei Tecmo character is, indeed, coming. On January 5th 2021, a spirit event for ''{{s|wikipedia|Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity}}'', a Koei Tecmo developed game, was announced, presumably being part of - if not the entirety of - what Nintendo had discussed for with Koei Tecmo. | When asked for an update on Ryu Hayabusa's chances, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/79011455?jumpto=162#162 stated] that he knew for a fact Nintendo met with Koei Tecmo to discuss ''Super Smash Bros.'' and that he would be surprised if nothing came of it, but he was not able to confirm if Ryu Hayabusa or any other Koei Tecmo character is, indeed, coming.

Another spirit from Koei Tecmo would also arrive, Sophia, from their [[Persona]] spin-off, ''Persona 5 Strikers''. | ||
