First a trophy in For, and now an Assist Trophy in Ultimate. A good sign of progression for indie representation.
Hopefully, it won't be long before indie games bring a new fighter!

... I hope that Shantae gets added for real, and then this gets a sequel.

Shovel Knight woulda had a good chance if he was popular in Japan. Good to see daddy Sakurai giving him the love he deserves

I wish he was a fighter too, but I'm glad he's here! I hope Shantae makes it into the game, too. She's the first Nintendo Indie Representative!

Congratulations Shovel Knight and Yacht Club Games! I personally think being an Assist Trophy is the perfect role for him in Smash Bros. It's infuriating that a lot of people think Shovel Knight being an Assist Trophy instead of a Fighter is an insult or something. What would be a bigger insult is not having him in the game at all. People should be grateful.

Well, at least he's playable in Rivals of Aether, which people consider is probably the best SSB clone.

And also he is one of various characters from many indie games in the inspired Smash game. I forgot the name.

There's definitely still potential for an Indie character as a Fighter, most likely Shantae~
Congrats on you for making it into Smash in some fashion, Shovel Knight;3

Figured that Shovel would be upset that he's been reduced as an Assist Trophy during his debut in Smash Bros.
But, on the other hand, there is a possibility that Shantae can appear as a playable character.

Small steps first, big steps later. First an assist, then an actual fighter. Hopefully. One day.

Tell that to someone like Waluigi who's been an Assist Trophy since Brawl. If being an Assist Trophy is just a small step, then Waluigi should've been playable in Smash 4.

My boy may not be a character in the game, but being set as an assist trophy is good enough

The fact of seeing Shovel Knight as an assist trophy makes me kind of worry for our half genie heroine & her potential as a fighter.

Honestly, this position for Shovel Knights feels like the best way to add two new things to Smash; American characters and Indie Characters.
Rather than rushing in and adding one as a playable character, introduce them into a smaller role. Then, in a later title (if there is one), perhaps he may become playable.
And honestly, Shovel Knight’s probably the best Indie Representative they could have put in, given his popularity not just in America, but also his previous connections to Nintendo (Amiibo especially)
