You should put Chibi-Robo in the OP, too.

I highly doubt this means anything, though. Someone probably just messed up with the website.
I'll vote for site mistake.
I have a feeling the site was initially set in a way so that all amiibo automatically were compatible with Smash.
Don't some of those games work with literally any amiibo? I know Hyrule warriors gives you random items for any amiibo
But why are there no other "unrelated" amiibo in the smash compatability page? Animal crossing amiibos and toad aren't on there for example
KaptainShovel Knight fits my one criteria for Smash Bros. characters.
He's not K.Rool.
Shovel Knight being playable in this game is utterly bizarre. This is a Playstation All Stars move.
SHovel KNight is an indie who launched only on Nintendo and PC at the start, is super popular for an indie right now, and has sold half of his copies on Nintendo platforms. I think he's the best choice for an indie character in Smash right now, and given how much Nintendo's been stressing relationships with indie devs over the past few years, I think the idea that they'd give an indie spot in Smash to be fairly reasonable, especially if there was demand on the smash ballot

i never said that but nice job putting words in my mouth
its a relatively new game, do you honestly expect fan uproar for him to be that high compared to other characters?
Yes, but look at those games. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is one of them. The Chibi-Robo amiibo doesn't actually work with Smash Bros., though, so it shouldn't be listed there. This and the Shovel Knight listing are almost surely just errors and not hinting at any upcoming DLC.
You know what'd be great? An electric guitar version of the Polar Knight theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1kf-OJdvb4
Listen to that and tell me people wouldn't want a stage and character that has that feeling. Shovel Knight plays up the feeling of the 8-bit era better than anything else that tries to grab your memories and hold them hostage...it's more honest than that. It feels like a game mostly out of time; making me feel like I'm 6 again without preying on my nostalgia.
SK is more in the sprit of what "Smash Bros" is than most, and deserves to be in the game more than some characters that actually are.
This. There are thousands of better characters for DLC. If a character from an overrated af indie shit gets in, it means Sakurai has finally lost the last screw in his head.
Same reason Toad is listed as a smash series amiibo on the main amiibo page and not a super mario series amiibo, someone sucks at their job
I want to see the shovel drop pogo implemented in some bizarre fashion.I'm fine with Shovel Knight getting in. Seems like he could have an interesting moveset. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Nintendo isn't actually making the Shovel KNight amiibo, it's just the technology bieng licensed to yacht club games. So I absolutely don't think that's a relevant point
But why would Yacht Club go to the trouble to license a Shovel Knight Amiibo if he was going to be in Smash, which would inevitably lead to a Shovel Knight Amiibo?

And digging up treasure.
Nothing against Shovel Knight, but I just don't get him for Smash.
He's from one game that came out just over a year ago. And it came out on everything!
You can get Shovel Knight for FireTV. The shit is FireTV!?
How is he a character with "Nintendo" history?
Sora for Smash Bros.
That sounds like a "he's taking up a slot thing"ugh I hope not
its not even a "he's taking up a slot" thing theres just more deserving characters
How is Pac Man a character with "Nintendo" history? Pac Man didn't really get his fame from Nintendo consoles. Is there some invisible "years of existence" requirement?Nothing against Shovel Knight, but I just don't get him for Smash.

Overrated? Lol? I mean many people here on GAF don't like Wii Fit, does that mean WFT shouldn't have been in?This. There are thousands of better characters for DLC. If a character from an overrated af indie shit gets in, it means Sakurai has finally lost the last screw in his head.
Guys, don't get your hopes up. The people programming the web site do not know the next character in Smash Bros.
Down B digs up treasure which also acts like a projectile. Forward B acts like Mario's cape and knocks projectiles back in a lob.
But why are there no other "unrelated" amiibo in the smash compatability page? Animal crossing amiibos and toad aren't on there for example

almost got me, until I saw the spoiler. good one

These reactions are so similar to Wii Fit Trainer being announced.
The management of the site has been spotty at best. So while Shovel Knight's chances are still up in the air, this shouldn't be considered as a confirmation.Shovel knight is so happening
K rool too
