SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Has no idle animation.
--Can "crawl" (that is to say, can walk while looking down).
--Steve & Alex have 3 skins each.
--Zombie & Enderman have no Fighter Spirit.
--Elytra is named for the hardened exoskeletal forewings of certain insects that close over their primary wings for protection.
--Unless you're in Hazards-Off/Battlefield/Omega form, mining results vary based on the stage terrain.
--Can recover the iron from a Minecart if he's the one who breaks it.
--Any Minecraft character can use any crafting table onstage, & can summon their own with shield B. The table cannot be summoned, though, if you have no wood.
--Once one of the breakable weapons (sword, pickaxe, hatchet, shovel) breaks, Steve has to attack barehanded until he crafts a replacement weapon (or dies). The exceptions are specials & dair, which just won't execute at all.
--Weapon crafting defaults to the strongest resource available (diamond > gold > iron > stone > wood). Dirt/sand/wool/ice & redstone cannot craft weapons.
--Block creation & TNT default to the weakest resource available (dirt/sand/wool/ice < wood < stone < iron). Gold, diamond, & redstone cannot craft blocks. Correspondingly, Block Kirby cannot mine gold, diamond, or redstone, & he cannot Craft weapons.
--Non-smash sword attacks & hatchet attacks can be held down & used while walking/jumping.
--Up taunt will actually dodge any attack that a shorthop would dodge.
--First Smash fighter to originate from an indie game (not counting Mii costumes).

Not sure if I would count him as indie rep since Minecraft has been owned by MIcrosoft since 2014

[DarkZero]

dont give him a hard time, we're all owned by microsoft at this point
