Steve is classified as fighter #77.
Known Information

- Steve's weapon stays in his hand momentarily depending on the move he uses.
Reveal trailer
Trivia
- Steve was created by the Swedish video game company Mojang, making him the second DLC fighter that was created outside of Japan.
- The first were Banjo & Kazooie, created by Rare of Great Britain, which coincidentally is also owned by Microsoft.
- After Mr. Game & Watch, Steve is the second playable character to look completely identical to their original appearance, the first third-party character to do so, and the first to come from a conventional video game rather than an LCD game.
- The Enderman alternate costume, however, was slightly altered to match the dimensions of Steve.
- Steve's reveal trailer contains multiple references to Minecraft:
- The Enderman picking up the crate references their affinity for picking up blocks and carrying them around.
- The Enderman also hides from the rain on Distant Planet. It references the fact that Endermen can receive damage from water in Minecraft.
- Wolf throwing the Zombie causes it to drop meat, a reference to Rotten Flesh, which is their most common drop.
- The fact that the fighter is Wolf is significant, as wolves in Minecraft can be tamed and can help the player in combat.
- Zombie is revealed breaking down a wooden door, which is an ability that Zombies have in Minecraft when playing on harder difficulties.
