Well, with the theme of gaming history, having a representative for indies in general would make sense given their rapid growth in the industry. Shovel Knight is a good fit for that position. He's not the *only* one that could fit that position, but I think he would fit right in with the cast quite well. |
Shovel Knight definitely would fit that role well and he's a character that would easily fit in SSB. In both Moveset an Design (does have that Look).
But overall there are too many characters that we dont even have before outside characters (third parties) that should well be in the game. The third party characters now are perfect given the reasons Spemanig said. Even Banjo Kazooie as the 4th Third Party character is they wanted to add another one would be good, but the point like previously mentioned is too many characters are missing and represent Nintendo.
Before a Shovel Knight, Viewtiful Joe, Bayonetta, etc we should have 50+ nintendo characters in, including missing veterans like Ice Climbers/Wolf..... (im not going to name 50+, i'll do just 5 maybe more later...)
~Isaac (Golden Sun): A representative of Nintendo's GBA/DS GS franchise. A highly requested character with a potential moveset, And we need 1 representative of this franchise.
~Takamaru (Ninja Castle): A retro japanese character. An Assist Trophy now but was actually considered to be playable in SSB4. And a representative of Ninja Castle Franchise.
~Inkling (Splatoon): New characters, but highly requested, unique, and will represent a massive franchise (i hope it'll be).
~King K Rool (Donkey Kong Country): DK having 2 reps, with probably the most requested villain for SSB outside of Ridley just makes sense.
~Dillon (Western Roll): Want a Indie Rep? Here you go, Nintendo's own Indie Game Character. Easily adapt a moveset, has 2 games, represents Western Roll and Indies from Nintendo, is an Assist Trophy so is in its own right popular :)
I could do this all day.... :0
