    At long last, Rivals of Aether has announced their second guest and final character in the game: SHOVEL KNIGHT!
    I love that game so much, so I'm so excited to see him brought to Rivals and given JUSTICE with an incredible move set! He comes out later this Fall!

      He'd be busted-
      All the characters in rivals would be S tier or A tier in smash if they were put in with no changes because the game itself is meant to be faster and more technical
      So all the characters were balanced around being all equally OP
      Not balanced by all being average

    Did you know that Shovel knight's up tilt combos into itself?
    Did you know that his up tilt also combos into up-air?
    His up-air combos to up smash too.
    Best combo = up tilt > up tilt > up tilt > up tilt > up tilt > up air > up-smash > follow up (if not dead) > short ground combo > repeat with 2 up tilts instead of 5.
