I love how Shovel Knight is so hype, and kills himself in the process of amazing combos. It's hilarious. Like, yep, you just died at 30 to upspecial, but you traded with shovel knight who was at 80. Seems fair.
5:08 Oh my God, THIS MUSIC. It's from a Newgrounds game I absolutely loved as a kid, about climbing a tower with several platforming-related laws to abide by. Shame I can't remember the name... EDIT : Found it. "Tower of Heaven" is the game I was looking for.
The shovel drop when on fire is a reference to shovel knight (armor of chaos earned by defeating kratos a double secret in the hall of champions also ps4 exclusive)
Me before shovel knight: Yeah kirbys is my favorite character Me after shovel knight: *Walking to the bus stop while blasting the song Strike The Earth*
yes more rivals I just started playing it and it's really fun thanks for introducing this game to me I got most of my friends playing this game a good 15$ well spent
I haven’t played Rivals yet, but as someone who has played through all of Shovel Knight Treasure Trove it’s super cool the amount of detail they put into Shovel Knight
Me and my friend were playing Rivals and I main Shovel Knight (He mains Clairein)and he only won when HE played SK so when we were done I said "Don't even try to tell me you played the game, you were either playing against Shovel Knight or you were playing Shovel Knight"
6:28 You can' see it, but Shovel Knight is currently giving the "Are you sure about that?/Now you #%$@ up!!" stare, and now you can't unsee it (I think)
4:25 The down air is one of the special moves that can be performed with the kratos armor in the playstation version of the game. The PC version has a battletoads armor, the 3ds has a crappy streetpass rival battle arena and, if I'm remembering correctly, the Wii U didn't get shit.
Well before Co op became on all consoles it actually was exclusively on Wii U but you had to buy the amiibo which was the first ever third party amiibo.
I didn't make an instagram account to view his instagram page and say no, i did not follow him because i can't follow someone without an instagram account and yes, i did every single one
Rivals of Aether does this were the first time you touch a character overpowered but when like 4 months pass they slowly calm it down and that's what I love
Oh man, that Tower of Heaven stage at the start! :D So glad to see that little game still getting a little bit of attention :EDIT: 5:18 Yessss the music!
"You even have to buy his moves"
"He's like DLC to the next nevel"
EA: We are very interested in this new business aproach.
except EA would make it real money instead of in game
Bro this hit way too close to home😂😂
Rip pvz
Dear god no don't give them any ideas
Now I know why Nintendo made him an assist trophy. He's just too powerful to be contained outside of his own game.
Considering how many games he's escaped to, and how many spin-off's he's getting, he's probably the most powerful indie game character of all time
Yeah basically lol
Even as an assist trophy he iss too powerfull
He literally defeat kratos
Thats why Yacht club is working on spinoffs too limit his power
Shovel Knight feels more at home in Rivals Of Aether. Still glad he happens to be in smash.
As an assist, but still in it.
oh im sure he would've been great as a character there
@ShoryukenPunch you misspelled garbage
@ShoryukenPunch everything you said and i prefer smash as well
i have never actually played rivals of aether and i can tell it is more fun.

Has someone ever made fanart of shovel knight with the infinity gauntlet?? Cause I wanna see that

Mash Man He wouldn't use it for that, the shovelrous Shovel Knight would bring about universal peace and prosperity
He says what are you going to do with money in a fight, I guess he hasn't seen Trumps Presidency Campaign.
He'd put himself and every character that's in the new Shovel Knight Bros gamemode and put them in Ultimate

uh, down air is the shovel drop.
the signature move of shovel knight.
I was expecting a character reveal with that thumbnail. You got me.
I thought that was Shovel Knight with the Infinity Gauntlet with 4 Time Stones in the thumbnail lol
I didn’t expect to hear Custom Robo music on the background of this video. It’s actually a pleasant surprise.

Dude I'm crying. The video started at the end and all I saw was Travis getting destroyed at the last fight. I legit thought that was the video
i did all the things for the application for the shovel knight code..i even had to make an instagram account just so i could do them all
I didn't make an instagram account to view his instagram page and say no, i did not follow him
because i can't follow someone without an instagram account
and yes, i did every single one
Dear lord that Custom Robo track hit like a truck.
It's super chill, and it still hit hard.
That's childhood nostalgia for you, I guess.

Shovel Knight being an assist trophy in Smash Ultimate makes me think:
"It's cool he got in the game at all"
and
"He could've been a fighter
He could’ve been a god

Shovel Knight in Rivals is suspiciously similar to Hero in Smash Ultimate....
Honestly, I'm just happy you put Custom Robo music in this video
I feel this game would benefit greatly from a more zoomed in camera, the sprites are so small I feel left out the action.
What a cool combo video Mr. Alpharad, congrats on the 100 subs
