I would like the character, but the amiibo is fake. I know the artist that drew the "amiibo". http://img10.deviantart.net/3842/i/2015/069/9/c/shovel_knight_smashified__transparent__by_hextupleyoodot-d8l6k0k.png

Counterproposal: the amiibo is real, but the retailer used an internet mockup as a placeholder of the real thing.

Did I just blow your mind?

It would be very interesting to see an indie character in Smash, but it simply doesn't seem likely to me.. :/

Shovel knight is a fine choice, but I would much rather have a different character. Shovel Knight has 1 game (albeit a good one), while there are other indie characters with much more of a legacy and a storied Nintendo history, Such as Commander Video or Shantae (does Shantae count as Indie?). I like to give certain characters time to see if they are memorable, or whether they fade into obscurity, and shovel knight in my opinion hasn't had that time yet.

But if he's announced, I'll still be intrigued

yeah, and if any indie character should be in, imo should be shantae.

I would rather see other characters in Smash, tbh. I feel like Shovel Knight hasn't quite earned his stripes yet.

I must be the only one who does NOT want Shovel Knight in Smash, but I wouldn't be against his inclusion if he made it in.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
