Oh man, Shovel Knight music would be soooo dope!
Well that can be seen during normal gameplay. Commander Video was a normal trophy in Smash 4. Which makes me wonder if we might get another indie assist? I imagine Shantae also had a decent push in the ballot and wasn't there a rumor Sakurai visited 2 indie studios to try their games a while ago?
Commander Video is so low-key almost everyone seems to forget he had a trophy in Smash 4.
I wasn’t counting an trophies though
Its interesting to see a third party series represented seemingly solely by an AT.
I'd like his music to be played on the stage he appeared in.
Me and my friend Matt were Discording the Direct and we both lost it when we saw Shovel Knight get in. I really hope he gets more my having an AT is fantastic for an Indie.
I mean there are multiple characters that play very similar in this game. But still he probably.would not be at all similar. He might have had the pogo down air or axe throw that simon Belmont has. But he uas a big repoirtoire of possible moves. Just look at indie smash like game Rivals of Aether in which he appears to see his potential.
I saw more praise and happiness for the Assist Trophy than anything. Some were sad he wasn't playable, while unfortunately we have some Shantae fans throwing a fit or even going far as laughing at his fans for losing the battle for the best indie slot.
God damnit. We should somehow try to make it clear there's a good fanbase that wants him playable.
I'm hoping not all assist trophies are "deconfirmed". There's such an uproar about waluigi, anything could happen.I feel for a deconfirmed character Shovel knight has had the best fate. Not only is him being an assist trophy an actual far bigger deal then most.
But shortly after his deconfirmation he got confirmed for rivals of aether! One of the best non smash platform fighters on my opinion.
And I'd say they have even perfectly adapted him into a playable moveset!
I can still have the biggest smile on my face despite him not getting in.
Waluigi is the only character i see it possible for it to reverse into a real character. Because he has been so much more tied too the assist trophy. But chances still are he is in fact deconfirmed.
Well ya I'm mostly thinking dlc. Unless he has a crazy mode where you can unlock assist trophies as characters by fighting them.
I don't know about "more" support, but I guess it's because Shantae's been around since the Game Boy Colour, and her developers were heavily campaigning for her during the Smash Ballot. I haven't played the Shantae games, so there might be more to it than that.
Well there are around 97 "other" tracks, so I doubt there will be many Shovel Knight tracks. I wouldn't get my hopes up for more than two.
So, I really don't think sk is that much like any character. Even his pogo, I'd make that one of his signature moves and really differentiate it from the links' d-airs. I'd make it his aerial down b, and make it stay out as long as b is held down/until he lands. And more importantly, pogo would trump all projectiles and attacks. Shovel knight would be able to pogo all over a stage using enemies and projectiles. Then, his anchor throw would be the only attack similar to someone elses. It could be slightly altered to be different, but I wouldn't bother. I'd just make it go through all walls ceilings and floos like in the sk game.
