well now that Steve has become much more of a viable candidate, many people are coming forward with what they think and some say he would be too much like the villager which actually makes a lot of sense but I say take it a level further. They could do what they done with the villager but moreso and in a different direction. Involve digging, crafting and constructing in his moveset and you're golden.

And actually, I've had second thoughts about how he'd look. Sakurai seems to be going for authenticity. I mean, look at Megaman. So i reckon having him walk and jump all weird and blocky would be fine. If they done it right. I mean with game and watch you've at least got a bit more elasticity. He can tumble around and stuff but Steve is a lot more rigid.
