Update History
v2.0 (December __th, 2024)
Overview
  • The previous version of Shovel Knight, while not bad, was just a bit awkward and weird. Shovel Drop felt wrong. Many attacks had super high startup but incredibly low endlag (for example: 20F startup on fstrong and 2F recovery). Jab, ftilt, nair, and fair were all the same move, so now ftilt and fair are their own moves. Up air in general. Many moves looked weird due to my lack of skill at the time. And most of all, he just felt weird and therefore not particularly fun to use.
