Some characters fly or hover, while others are bound to the ground. The only way to find this discrepancy out is to pause the match and check the Move List for each character. Take for example Propeller Knight, who has nine moves in his move list compared to Shovel Knight’s six. These basic controls help with the pick-up and party aspect of the game, but some characters have more moves than others. These controls also mean that it is not possible to play Showdown with an NES style controller, like the other games, since it requires four buttons. If a parry is pulled off when another player attacks you, then they will be knocked back. The Y button is attack, the B button is jump, the X button executes a special move, and the L or R button triggers a parry. The controls are the same across the roster. My knowledge of Shovel Knight gave me some edge as I knew how my character would play (especially coming off playing King of Cards) and typically what they could possibly do. They thought characters like Polar Knight and the Liquid Ninja were rad, while I opted for characters with more finesse, like King Knight. I played with some friends that have never played S hovel Knight in any capacity. Each varies in size and ability, giving players a buffet of pixelated fighters.
Ranging far wider than the bosses in Shovel Knight, there are 20 characters to choose from. The roster of characters is super impressive for a first multiplayer outing. Maybe playing with a partner in co-op is the key for me, but I don’t plan on breaking anymore targets real soon.
While playing on the easiest setting allowed me to beat the story mode, it never challenged my actual battle skills against the CPU. I’m not sure if I am just plain old terrible at this combo racking mini-game, but it sure sucks to hit the wall every time in story mode on anything higher than easy difficulty.
