I'd love Shovel Knight's down air if it could bounce. It can do that in the original game, right?

I thought the cool part of the shovel wasn't theorycrafting :(
That's what you use it for 80% of the time
The rest is when you forget you have an attack button

I really need an expansion on my browser to change certain words into butt...
Changing 'leak' into 'butt'
"So, any new butts?"
"This butt is such a terrible fake"
"Those damn butters"
"I really don't like when stuff is butted"
If you have chrome, use this.Someone here possess a funny name when I use it (which I do all the time)

Here's a quick thing I threw together a month ago showing what Shovel Knight can do:

View attachment 75013
Forgive the lazy aerials/normals, it's mostly the specials That I'm proud of here.
So he has a double shoryuken? Nice.
Side b isn't really unique but it's forgiveable.
Neutral b sounds like the Mii Brawler's shot put.

Ah, Shovel Knight is popular now.

So Blue has to think of reasons why he's a terrible idea.

Even though he supported him before.

Blue this opposition and mindset came out of nowhere. Im pretty sure you are just being contrarian.
Look, I don't think he's a terrible idea and I'm definitely not here to be a contrarian, he's an good idea for the most part only because I really like his game, but in terms of uniqueness specifically, I just can't find something that can be distinct which is why I started discussing the idea of him taking nods to other indies in the first place, in no way am I trying to detract supporters here.

You never need to equip a fire flower either but there it is.
You never need to use a mega man power up* but there are plenty used in smash.
You can never unluck many of the powers of the goddess but palutena has every special as one.
Hell you don't even have to encounter some of the pokemon that have been playable


This is your shoddiest argument yet if you are saying he can't use moves because they are optional

*not technically true in some games as far as I know
Meh you have a point.

IDK anymore TBH, I can't really pinpoint why I continue to naturally find Shovel Knight not really distinct. I've seen all the weapons Shovel Knight can use in his, yet, I can't find myself wowed at overall.


Aren't these just optional weapons though, I think you could beat the whole game without the use of those weapons and some weapons aren't really central to Shovel Knight unless you want 100% complete the game.

Side note to this discussion:

It be hilarious if Shovel Knight was revealed at this very moment.


Anyway, I really want all the powerups back in Mario Maker, levels could be so much more unique then! Also I hope we get some smash news tomorrow.

I'd be pretty excited if he was announced tonight. I'm dying of news now.

I just don't get it, Blue. You're always vocally against supposed "made up fan criteria" but yet you're using really subjective reasoning to conclude that Shovel Knight isn't unique enough on his own...
You want me to be really serious about Blue.

I love he guy but we all the know the real reason he wants SK in the game. The whole fan criteria will be broken and it won't seem impossible that his favorite Level 5 franchises can get in and easily possible.




Isn't that right, Fumi-Chan :smash:

Hey, I still really like Shovel Knight's game and it's retro appeal and it's more than just that reason alone ... :nervous:

Um, no?
There are a handful of relics that are absolutely required to beat the game.

Why do all the discussions I don't intend to start come from my stupider references? First Toadette vs Waluigi.

Now Butt Jokes.

You say that and you know the day it happens, the first words will be:

"Shovel Knight being in means anyone can get in and I'm excited for it."

You're that type of guy who wants any and everything in Smash.

I really hate the belief that Shovel Knight getting in would open the door for a bunch of other third party/indy characters.

Because it could do as much harm as it does good for those characters.

I have butt the butt butt so butt in the butt butt, it butt even butt like a butt anybutt
Fixed.
I mean, butted.

Which ones are they?
Of the top of my head, I believe the Propeller Dagger, Phase Locket and Dust Knuckles are needed.
Actually, I may be incorrect about which ones are needed.
But I'm pretty sure there are mandatory relics.

Wait so I need to update IronHax for 1.0.1? But I already updated my system and the original IronHax still works perfectly

Edit: NV turns out I never updated

If you're looking for visually distinct, Shovel Knight would also be the only actual knight in the game. No one else is in full plate armor.

Also, as others have said, the way you swing a Shovel is different from the way you swing a sword.
