This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Shorthop Sword

Steve attacks with a rapid sword slash if the move is buffered as a short hop forwards or backwards aerial attack; otherwise, he attacks with a pickaxe. It is not possible for this attack to come out as a fullhop, as fullhop aerials cannot be buffered in Ultimate. This attack has great combo utility; it can combo into moves such as up-tilt at low percents for extended combos, and the backwards variant can combo in a regular back-air at higher percents for a kill confirm.

Hitboxes

Hitting with a sword uses up 2 durability points, out of a maximum of 25 for a Wood or Gold sword, 40 for a Stone sword, and 50 for an Iron or Diamond sword; hitting with a pickaxe instead uses up 6.5 durability points, out of a maximum of 70 for a Wood or Gold pickaxe, 85 for a Stone pickaxe, and 95 for an Iron or Diamond pickaxe.
