 '''Steve''' ({{ja|スティーブ|Sutību}}, ''Steve'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the second [[fighter]] from [[Microsoft]] after {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, and the eighth [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC character]] for ''Ultimate''. He was confirmed as a playable character on October 1st, 2020 as the second downloadable character from {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}. '''Alex''' ({{ja|アレックス|Arekkusu}}, ''Alex''), a '''[[Zombie]]''' ({{ja|ゾンビ|Zonbi}}, ''Zombie''), and an '''[[Enderman]]''' ({{ja|エンダーマン|Endāman}}, ''Enderman'') also appear as alternate costumes. Steve was released as part of Challenger Pack 7 on October 13th, 2020<!--October 14th, 2020 in PAL and Japanese regions--> and is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #77]].
-Steve is ranked 1st out of 86 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the S+ Tier.
+Steve is ranked 1st out of 86 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the top in the S+ Tier. Steve's ability to create platforms and walls of his own with [[Mine / Craft / Create Block]] gifts him with an extremely potent defensive game that also grants him great stage control and can aid in his recovery while also allowing him access to a myriad of unique [[advanced technique|advanced techniques]]. These blocks also allow him to greatly extend his combos with incredibly fast attacks such as his moving jab attack and axe ladders among others, allowing him to command one of the best advantage states in the game and rack up massive amounts of damage. His damage potential can be further increased by upgrading his toolset with the materials he mines; diamond tools are viewed as a high threat because of it. His smash attacks yield incredible kill power, as do his down aerial and [[TNT]], which are notable components in Steve's trapping game. [[Minecart]] is not only a useful horizontal recovery tool, but also a command grab, a powerful KO option, and a tool Steve can use to approach opponents. [[Elytra]]'s gliding mechanics allow Steve to mix up his recovery and provide him great vertical coverage if angled right.
+But Steve is not without weaknesses. His lackluster aerial and ground mobility hamper his approaching options, and his crouch and crawl are ineffective against projectile attacks. Furthermore, his ''Minecraft''-inspired playstyle forces him to constantly mine for materials throughout the match; running out of materials denies him access of certain moves such as Minecart and TNT. Steve can also be denied usage of his crafting table if he is kept airborne and off-stage, while respawning the table forces Steve to use up resources. Up smash and down tilt leave him vulnerable to attack should he miss, and while Steve's tool attacks are fast, they have short reach, making them not as effective as a combo disruptor against other characters. Their short reach also forces Steve to engage in close-quarters combat, as he lacks a conventional projectile.
+Despite this, Steve's strengths greatly outweigh his flaws, and he is widely considered as the best character in ''Ultimate''. He has achieved excellent tournament representation and results, with many of Steve mains such as {{Sm|acola}}, {{Sm|Onin}} and {{Sm|Jake}} ranking within the Top 100. acola found success as Japan's best player, winning major tournaments such as {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}}, {{Trn|The Gimvitational}}, {{Trn|Let's Make Moves Miami}} and {{Trn|Umebura SP 9}}, among others. Additionally, Onin has placed first at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}} and {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}. Steve is considered to be "[[broken]]" by the community, with discussions for the character to be banned beginning to garner widespread attention in 2022.
