Ever since the introduction of Minecraft Steve into Smash Brothers many players have been asking for the character to be banned due to unfair play. So far nothing has been done until recently when a new technique called Phantom MLG, that allows the player to get out of combos, cancel stuns, and hit back at players that do not have the same counterplays.

After this was discovered, many of the pros have asked for Steve to be straight up banned. Many tournament organizations thought about banning just the tech but have decided for the time being that they will ban Minecraft Steve from future tournaments as players accidentally using this in tournaments would be too hard to monitor.

A few tournament organizations have decided to take on that and just ban the tech from play and allow Steve to be used and will handle matches as they are played. For mains that play Steve, many will have to learn a new character or hope that a lot of these organizations will just ban the tech and not the character all together as learning a new character at this kind of level can take a lot of time and practice.
