Is this the most atrocious looking video game character ever created?

pic related. I also don't care much for Alex but at least she appears in Java Edition and promotional art.

>He is literally the epitome of lazy shitty indie artstytle.
So fucking what? He's the icon of the best selling game of all time.
>There is no thought put into his design
I could argue otherwise but given the picture you've made of yourself that'd be a waste of time.

You're telling me I can like both Touhou and Minecraft?

This is the one complaint I have. Literally every other character on the mural is drawn in a cohesive style, but Steve looks like he was shopped in.

Because notch is a programmer not an artist

He just shat something out that would work as the player and wouldn't take him 3 months to design. Minecraft's character model probably took notch 3 hours start to finish

this post is the epitome of cope and seethe

You can't please everyone.
>character looks like their source game
"Lazy design, no effort into this"
>Character is adapted and stylized for the game
"Why did they change it so much? it was fine as it was"

Also Steve and minecraft in general are way, waaaaay too simple. Any change or redesign, small as it may be, has a huge impact on the overall portrayal. Given we had leaks for steve before the game release and Sakurai admited it took a long ass time to implement, I think they did try to adapt or change the style, probably something like pic related, but backtracked as the final result was a bit too clashing from the original one.
Sakurai wants you to play the character as if it was from their game, not the smash version of it, despite what many people make you believe.
>But what about X character not being as accurate as their game!
That's a case to case basis. We know Steve had a troubled development, so something had to happen, and I doubt it was jsut making block placement aviable on all stages.

>Minecraft's character model probably took notch 3 hours start to finish
given how he made a creeper when he first set out to do a pig, probably way more than 3 hours.
coder art is based.

>pic related
thank god they didn't go for the "clean" style of Minecraft's promo art.

>b-but he is the icon of the best selling game
that doesn't make it "soul"ful or whatever shitty meme you are trying to use, and anyway, MC never had jackshit to do with ""Steve"". MC is all about it's world and you are just a floating hand in it

>he totally has thought put into it bro
he was literally a fucking placeholder model that was just left in the game for too long you moron. There is objectively no care put into his "character", the fucking animals and enemies look more detailed and less grotesque than he does.

>popularity = quality
I am so tired of this meme.
No one actually believes this but they trot it out whenever it's convenient.

Besides regular steve and Alex the endedman and zombie the others are taken from the launch of bedrock on 360 why they needed 2 tennis costumes... I dunno skeleton would have been better then the niggerlady tennis one maybe skeletonnand creeper are stage hazards or something

I think it would've fit smash better, but then they would've to change the block and items textures too, and while Steve is iconic enough to pass in other styles, the rest would be a bit too egregious. Like a texture pack rather than the actual ones.

If you ask anyone to think about minecraft blocks, they'll think about pic related, not some clean ass minimalist texture blocks.

Snake is fine, and G&W actually has more personality than Megablocks Man. Jewtendo has officially lost all integrity at this point. I guess the next characters in Smash will be Five Nights at Freddy's or Fortnite.
>inb4 butthurt Genosfag
Phoenix Wright was the most obvious choice for another guest character, but instead we get this babby's first autism therapy shit.

Minecraft "characters" always had horrible designs and were made based on the shallowest mentality

>the environment is made out of blocks, that means the characters have to be made out of blocks as well
landscapes in Minecraft use thousands of blocks to form complex shapes, yet they limited their characters to use similarly sized blocks, except they are made out of only like 5 of them because of their size. In the end they have this hyper minimalistic shape that's hardly even fitting with the complex environment.

And it's not even like the game at least sticks to some strict rule of "only being made out of blocks" anyway, the weapons all look much more detailed and the game is full of little not block-like models.

Nah friend. A bunch of games after mixed the block style with the character design, yet the Minecraft ones remain iconic while all else is forgotten.

Do your soul reps bugman.

>steve by sonic
UHHHHHHHHHH

Haha funny because its the most sold game in the world haha

you are retarded as fuck if you think minecraft's success had anything to do with how Steve looks, or that it wouldn't be just as successful if he looked differently.
You don't even see his design for the most part. That doesn't mean he isn't a shitty design and doesn't look horrible when put into games with well made characters.

Kino

It makes sense because the character is meant to be easily modded. So having a pixelshit ragdoll body is fitting actually.

This.
>b-b-but it's faithful to the original!
The character looks so shitty that he shouldn't have been in for that reason alone. It's literally a placeholder.

>No Herobrine
Shame.
