 '''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 82 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 prowess that also grants him great stage control, recovery aid and gimp potential 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 back aerial and 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 can provide him great vertical coverage if angled right. Nearly every move in Steve's arsenal can be used for multiple purposes, such as his down tilt, which can ledgetrap opponents, block projectiles and set up combos.

Nearly every move in Steve's arsenal can be used for multiple purposes, such as his down tilt, which can ledgetrap opponents, block projectiles and set up combos.
 However, 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 to certain moves such as Minecart and TNT. Steve's tools will eventually break over a period of usage, leaving him with an ineffective punch attack unless he uses a crafting table to replenish his tools. He can be denied usage of his crafting table (and his toolset) if he is kept airborne and off-stage, while respawning it forces Steve to use up resources. His up smash and down tilt leave him vulnerable to punish 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, where he can easily be outclassed by characters with either ranged or disjointed attacks.
