I don't really see a different way to interpret "Minecraft is a very general population kind of game, not really our slice of things.".....

Pretty simple, B8's got an average age of 30 that at least initially developed as a community dedicated to JRPGs and games that would necessitate a FAQ. We're a very specific niche that has held together for nearly 2 decades here.

That has nothing to do with being a "true gamer", it's just different demographics to which B8 undeniably skews away from Minecraft *relative to* that general population overall which sees Minecraft as a very big deal. Hence the different response from us which is easily to be expected.

Yeah we have played Minecraft but it wasn't the incredibly formativephenomenon for us that it was for Gen Z particularly, hence the disinterest here. We still got archives of the old days of Minecraft when B8 got involved, you'd have a few topics that would last a page at most, lucky to break 10 posts for the most part. It was just one indie game we played among many.

It's far from the first game for Board 8 to be out of step with the broader public. It's weird to me to take issue with pointing out that simple fact which is already evident by the overall response here.

what are you talking about?

general population factually sees Minecraft as a big deal

Board 8 does not, we're a different, niche demographic

it's pretty simple and blatantly evident from the response here that you cannot argue. weird thing to get defensive about, it's not some compliment to a ultra HARDCORE board 8!

Oh, I got the opposite impression. There's a part where he goes 'it's impossible, so I laid it out to them, yeah, I can do it' so I figured it was just Sakurai jokingly boasting about how awesome he was for making Steve work (which he is).

Well, apparently there was a big poll in March 2020 that asked Smash players who they wanted in Fighter Pass #2. Out of 1423 characters that received at least one vote, this was the Top 25 -

1. Crash (Crash Bandicoot)
2. Geno (Super Mario RPG)
3.Doom Guy (Doom)
4.Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
5.Dante (Devil May Cry)
6.Rayman (Rayman)
7.Steve / Alex (Minecraft)
8.Master Chief (Halo)
9.Bandana Waddle Dee (Kirby)
10.Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
11.Reimu (Touhou)
12.Waluigi (Super Mario)
13.Shantae (Shantae)
14.Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)
15.Isaac (Golden Sun)
16.Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong Country)
17.2B (Nier)
18.Rex & Pyra (Xenoblade)
19.Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
20.Arle Nadja (Puyo Puyo)
21.Spyro (Spyro)
22.The Knight (Hollow Knight)
23.Lloyd Irving (Tales)
24.Heavy (Team Fortress 2)
25.Dr. Eggman (Sonic the Hedgehog)

So, It looks like Steve actually was one of the most requested characters.

My three most wanted right smack in the middle there.

At least Suda recently changing his tone on the possibility of Travis from "I'd love to see it happen!" to "No comment." gives me some hope there.

That didn't happen until, what, 2016? 2017? Crash stunned us in the 2013 contest. My guess is somewhere around 2011-2013 there was a burst of nostalgia for him that has only grown with the remakes.

My big question is who are these people requesting Isaac

he was in one kinda bad game like a lifetime ago.

I understand why he would be popular on board 8, but who out there in the real world even played golden sun, let alone let it's boring main character jive with them enough to prefer it over literally any other rep.

Same goes for the Lloyd Irving fans, but there's less of him

Many/most of my friends that I talk video games with heard of/played/remember Golden Sun when I bring it up, and all of them that I talk Smash with know who Isaac is when I mention him as my most-wanted.

As far as Lloyd goes, the Namco link probably keeps him in the spotlight, and the battles in his game play quite similarly to Smash as it is.

That, and the franchise being dead for 5-8 years (and people forgetting about all the crap that series churned out between Naughty Dog leaving the series and the last mobile games) helps too.

Lloyd is mostly because the last major Tales game to have a worldwide release on a Nintendo console was Symphonia, so that gives him a leg up over Yuri and Velvet.

like Geno, Isaac is a SSB meme. A vocal minority of dedicated fans constantly brought him up so much that he became part of the tapestry of smash culture. So today zoomers request him without really knowing why

That didn't come out until after Ultimate, so it's another case where Lloyd became a SSB meme before that and Yuri wasn't going to dethrone him at that point.
