Minecraft is now conquering Nintendo worlds as well. In Smash Bros. Ultimate, you will soon be able to play as the most famous Minecraft characters.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate now has quite a wild assortment of heroes and villains. It’s no longer limited to just Nintendo heroes. But the next newcomer is sure to surprise everyone. The Minecraft heroes from Mojang are joining the Nintendo fighting group.
What heroes are coming? The first trailer shows the four characters that will come with the Minecraft DLC to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. These are:
- Steve: The default player character in Minecraft
- Alex: The female counterpart to Steve
- Zombie: One of the first mobs from Minecraft, who acts quite stupidly but can overwhelm players in groups
- Endermen: A creature that is usually passive – unless the player looks directly at it
Whether these are all individual characters with quirks or basically just “skins” that share the same set of abilities is still not quite clear – even if it appears that way in the trailer.
What can the characters do? Although not all details are known yet, a lot can already be discerned from the first trailer. Numerous Minecraft mechanics have been adopted and almost transferred 1:1 into Smash Bros. The characters can place different blocks, craft swords, place TNT to ignite it with redstone wiring, or even ride through the map in a minecart.
By placing blocks, it is even possible to temporarily trap other characters – just as trolling players do in Minecraft.
Minecraft heroes cause problems: By the way, the developers had to come up with something substantial. To allow the Minecraft heroes to place their blocks on every stage, the stages had to be revised. This was said to be a “great challenge,” but it was necessary to fulfill the dream of the Minecraft heroes.
What do you think of Steve, Alex, the Endermen, and the Zombie in Smash Bros.? A cool addition or does it not fit at all?
Minecraft always mixes with other games – some people, for instance, recreate gigantic buildings from World of Warcraft.
