Steve (SSBU): Difference between revisions

{{clr}}

Leading up to release, there was a lot of speculation for how Steve would work in ''Smash'' due to his unique moveset compared to the rest of the roster. Many players saw a lot of potential in him, with several players going as far as to call him top tier or outright broken due to his block-creating and crafting mechanics, his glide recovery that works similarly to the infamous [[glide]] mechanic in ''Brawl'', and his high power. After his release, players had mixed reactions to his viability. Some players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|MkLeo}} believed that Steve was potentially high tier due to his incredible edge guarding and a great combo game. On the other hand, players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} believed his weaknesses, especially his poor mobility, would make him more of a low-mid tier character. Steve also suffers from being outranged by other swordfighters in neutral ({{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Ike}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}}), or from being camped out by other characters who can zone him out even better ({{SSBU|Hero}}, {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBU|Yoshi}}).
