Smashed/Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight is the famous titular protagonist of the indie platformer Shovel Knight and was the first character revealed for Smashed.
Shovel Knight is also intended to be the most balanced character, serving as the "Mario" of this Smash fangame.
Shovel Knight's moveset is varied, ranging from the multitude of powerful relics at his disposal to the familiar melee attacks he performs with his trademark shovel.
== Summary ==
Shovel Knight is a character intended to be as balanced and average as possible. He plays and fights as you'd expect from a character like that.No attack comes out too fast or too slow (minus a few odd ones out), and the same is said for his movement and jumping ability.In addition, Shovel Knight's are kept at a reasonably close range, minus his neutral special and up special.

Down Special 	This move takes a moment or two to prepare itself. After being fully charged, Shovel Knight will place a covered platter on the ground in front of himself. Attacking this platter will remove the lid, revealing either a lit bomb (which only takes a moment to detonate itself) or, rarely, a delicious cooked turkey. The turker resores a large amount of health, making this a high risk/high reward move, especially considering how long it takes to use.	Health Restore
