If Shovel Knight fishes and gets a golden fish, use standard neutral special to immediately pick up the fish.(This is possibly a glitch due to the sound effects.) If Shovel Knight fishes and gets the gem pile (not the golden fish), wavedash backwards and use Forward Tilt to immediately break the pile.Shovel Knight can taunt on the respawn platform to open up the shop and purchase items.Has a somewhat hard time taking advantage of platforms.Has possibly the worst neutral in the game without items, meaning he often needs to rush to get gems at the start of the game in order to get any momentum going.Has a large crouching hitbox, so he can't duck under projectiles such as Zetterburn's fireball.Other characters can pick up treasure before he can.Needs to store up treasure to purchase items from the shop.


Has some of the best aerials in the game.Momentum Mail makes him heavy and gives him the longest wavedash in the game.For instance, Shovel Knight can purchase "Ghost Glove" if he needs a projectile for a matchup. The shop mechanic allows Shovel Knight to adapt to different matchups / playstyles.Has many unique moves to mix up opponents.
