With the release of Shovel Knight Dig, we officially have THREE mainline entries into the Shovel Knight Franchise!

Feel free to talk about the franchise, or our Wiki profiles for it.

Also, big news in terms of our profiles.

Yacht club confirmed that, not only is every Shovel Knight game canon, but they also made an official timeline for them!

very useful

I feel like there's a lot that needs to be done with the Shovel Knight verse., as I think 8-C I'm gonna start putting together a CRT when I get some time, as i feel that baseline 8-C is far, far too low.

I am willing to help but out of curiosity do you have any feats above 8-C in mind

What’s shovel knights best hax?

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

What’s shovel knights best hax?

Phase Locket (combat applicable intangibility), Attack Reflection with his Shovel or Alchemy Coin

We also still need to upgrade their LS, which can pretty be much verse wide.

King Knight has a casual Class K feat via lifting Mr. Hat’s shop iirc.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Phase Locket (combat applicable intangibility), Attack Reflection with his Shovel or Alchemy Coin

he’s also got time stop and transmutation, alongside some other hax iirc, if we consider the items he gains from Pocket Dungeon and Showdown.

Can he transmute living things

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Can he transmute living things

Yes. His Showdown items (Should they be added to his profile) would be optional equipment, and he wouldn't have access to it normally.

 

[Lou_change]

I am now looking at the shovel knight wiki’s pages on items and dlc relics (pocket dungeon), and shovel techniques, accessories, and relics (Dig)
If it wasn’t for the fact it had resistance to time stop I would make him fight the X-Blade

What

 

[Lou_change]

This thing has the ability to cause keys to blowup it would have been a beauty semantics argument and give shovel knight a victory against legitimate low 1-C threat or did something else in my previous post confuse you.

Discussing Shovel Knight scaling to Kratos, in case anyone missed it.

 

[ZillertheBucko]

I’m going to whip you people into shape
Behold your savior

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

good luck

 

[ZillertheBucko]

All I have to do now is play the 2 new shovel knight games that I completely ignored and never touched
We’re gonna go places, maybe. Unless it’s completely featless, then that would be problematic.

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

I actually have to check Showdown myself, yeah.

 

[ZillertheBucko]

I meant dig and pocket dungeon
showdown is pretty cool too tho yeah.

 

[Serlock_Holmes]

I wish you good luck and may your findings be bountiful.

 

[Lou_change]

I added pocket dungeon relics, got rid of tower scaling, pointed out the potential universal feat you argued about twitter

There's this one. Slightly sus, which is why I haven't made a thread about it. But it exists.

To hopefully revive this thread (and potentially the verse itself), would I be good to update the formatting of the SK profiles? While I do want to add all of the abilities that they should have (and I do intend on making at least one CRT for that), I'd just like to improve the formatting for now. Some examples of how I would do so are:

1. (On Shovel Knight's profile) Changing "Can reflect magic attacks with his Shovel Blade" to "Attack Reflection (Can reflect physical and magical projectiles with his Shovel Blade. [Insert References to Shovel Knight doing so])" as well as changing "Intangibility via Phase Locket" to "Intangibility (Immaterial - Via Phase Locket.)"
2. (On Plague Knight's profile) Adding descriptions for abilities ("Homing Attack" > "Homing Attack (Via Sentry Fuse Bombs.)")
3. (On Reize Seatlan's profile) Adding a P&A tabber separating Reize, Dark Reize, and Nightmare Reize, as well as separating the three in their stats ("Attack Potency: Building level (Is able to damage Shovel Knight and Plague Knight with his attacks in their encounters with him. As Dark Reize he's able to match Specter Knight in combat, and is even greater in strength as Nightmare Reize)" > Attack Potency: Building level (Is able to damage Shovel Knight and Plague Knight with his attacks in their encounters with him. [Insert References to Reize boss fights]) | Building level (Greater than before. As Dark Reize he's able to match Specter Knight in combat. [Insert Reference to Dark Reize's boss fight]) | At least Building level (Far more powerful than before, as Nightmare Reize is described by The Enchantress as Dark Reize's full potential. [Insert Reference for Enchantress's statement])"

I know it's series of massive changes, but with how outdated the profiles are, they need them.

(Side note here: Although the Phase Locket literally has the word "PHASE" in its name, Shovel Knight doesn't actually phase through solid materials with it. Instead, he seems to briefly turn ethereal, which would make it Immaterial Intangibility rather than Phasing Intangibility.)

 

[Lou_change]

I mean that sounds like it won't amount to much more than what I did with relics from pocket dungeon then again most of one of the CRTs I did wasn't actually added because I was having problems with using the editor on the device I was using at the time. This new level of detail regarding what happened in the original game is of course fully supported by me.

Yeah, I'm not so much adding anything new (that's for another day) as I am just polishing what's already there.

 

[Lou_change]

I can respect that a description of the ability or even just the name of the item or technique used is always better than just listing the power on the profile.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

cleaning up formatting is poggers. Completely agree.

 

[Lou_change]

I mean as long as it's not indexing the hats in pocket dungeon adding stuff probably won't be difficult.

 

[LightSoul8]

Updated Phantom Striker as he's a fairly minor character. Suggestions and/or criticism would be welcome, and I can revert the changes if need be.

 

[Lou_change]

I think that's technically against the rules without a CRT but it looks good. How did I forget to give him non physical interaction?

 

[LightSoul8]

You're probably right, but this thread did seem to agree that formatting and referencing without adding entirely new stuff is fine to do without a CRT. If I really wanted to break the rules, I'd remove Danmaku from his profile since you need 20-ish projectiles at once to qualify iirc

I think especially having asked here, you can do it without a CRT, it's just making the profiles better without really changing what's on them

With three people having agreed, I've officially started fixing up the profiles. It'll probably take me a while to get all of them done, but I'm happy to nonetheless. Here's Shovel Knight (don't worry, I'm not gonna message the thread every time I improve them lmao). If there's anything else that should be done, feel free to let me know, and I'll see what I can do!

 

[Lou_change]

Given the above do you guys think it would be okay to apply this

 

[Armorchompy]

Yeah definitely, with scans and all maybe as a separate key but yeah. Probably make a CRT for it but yknow

 

[Lou_change]

The crt is linked. I made under the belief that the Custom Knight feature wasn't canon but could be added as a key. I have two staff who agreed to the intial premise but now the premise changed to it being canon. So if I just linked the picture over there got one of the staff how commented on it to agree and you it could be applied.
