Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into future installments of Super Smash Bros., and go into ludicrous detail on what they could play like if they joined the fight!
This time around, we're taking a look at a character whose hype obscured his actual chances. Shovel Knight's been a bit of a controversial figure in Smash speculation, someone who exploded in support right as the Smash Ballot opened but saw nothing from it. But as we know, it's not some simple popularity contest, and his actual situation is more complicated.
Where does Shovel Knight sit in regards to the rumored Switch port? And what would he fight like if it got in? That's what we're here to figure out.
