How Steve was able to remain under the radar in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate until the balance patches stopped
Despite having a roster of 86 characters, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is surprisingly well balanced. This is fairly different from previous entries in the Super Smash Bros. series as the power scaling between the top tiers and the rest of the roster has typically felt pretty noticeable.
By all means, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate isn't perfect considering that there's been plenty talks about potentially banning Steve and even Kazuya from tournament play. However, Steve wasn't always the menace that he's known for being today.

Momochi pulls off the corner-to-corner Ed dream sequence during Street Fighter 6 tournament match
Not too long ago, SNB|Momochi showcased a powerful combo for Ed that deals a ton of damage, builds a ton of meter back, and carries the opponent from one corner to the other. It's been proven to work in an actual match, but is it actually a viable sequence during a tournament setting?
Earlier today during the 5th Topanga Championship, Momochi was actually presented with an opportunity to pull off the combo during a match up against BC|Tachikawa, who also happened to be playing as Ed but with Modern Controls. By this point in the set, Momochi was already up 2-0, but found himself down the next round and in the corner against Tachikawa.

As noted by Stealth on X (formerly known as Twitter), Bandai Namco's Studio 2 & Studio S no longer appear to hiring to fill positions within their company.
