==Attributes==
Shovel Knight is a Heavyweight Character who posses great range attacks with his Shovel and projectiles, Shovel Knight may have a slow Dashing speed but his Dash Attack seems fast as well, Shovel Knight has KO moves in his Side tilt, Side Smash, Up Smash, Back Ariel, Down Ariel, Up Throw and Dust Knuckles . Shovel Knight's Standard Special Chaos Sphere is a weak projectile that goes through walls and can't KO the opponent however it makes Shovel Knight's approach alot better for him to combo his opponents, Dust Knuckles is a great ariel recovery move when Shovel Knight needs to recover, it's even strong enough to KO opponents alot easier, especially Lightweight Characters around 50%, Propeller Dagger is his Recovery move which it helps Shovel Knight aid him back to the stage, War Horn can push and damage the opponents from Shovel Knight that helps him get good amount of approach to him. Shovel Knight is a character that relies on many strong moves and great projectile games, Shovel Knight does have a good SHFFL as well and has a powerful air game being his Back Ariel being a kill move.
However, Shovel Knight will suffer some flaws. Shovel Knight is classified as a Heavyweight so it is hard to master Shovel Knight for new players. Propeller Dagger although a good horizontal recovery move dosen't go as high and after the move he will go helpless, Shovel Knight does have trouble against characters who have a Reflector that can reflect his projectiles back at him. Finally Shovel Knight will not stop falling while using his Down Ariel which is a major problem because it must land on the ground or on a opponent to stop it, If he goes off the stage using his Down Ariel, Shovel Knight will KO himself also being called "Shovelcide".
