The VGBootCamp matchup between players Maistr and Onin began with Maistr using Sora and Onin as Steve. The match ends fairly quickly with Steve taking the win against Sora. The crowd is seen both cheering and booing. Maistr then changes their character to Game and Watch for the second match, but loses once again to the so-farunbeatable Steve and their combos.
Maistr switches back to Sora for the third match. This was the most intense match yet thanks to player Maistr winning the round with Sora, seeming to have exploited a weakness in Steve’s defenses. The score count was 2 Odin against 1 Maistr. However, in the player’s celebration with the crowd, the production team at VGBootCamps appears to have forgotten that the match was still ongoing and prematurely released the confetti that was supposed to signify the final win. The commentators are heard calling for the production team as they tease to “put it back,” but as production realized it was too late, they then state the reason for the confetti was to acknowledge the first Sora win inSuper Smash Broshistory. The tournament then goes on to the fourth and final round, where Odin takes the win as Steve.
For those that do not want the full DLC and just play as Steve will be in luck, asthe Steve Amiibo is coming soonforSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. For hardcore players, they would be wise not to underestimate Steve, for the character is ruthless in their unpredictable nature.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis available now on the Nintendo Switch.
