Fish Head Shovel Knight

Description
Put out the helmet and take a good breath, the Fish Head Shovel Knight set is available now!

This skin comes with new animations, that apart of obviously replacing the top with his classic catfish look, adds a more expressive SK compared to the original. Now does faces in his attacks, damaged states, and more.
Also if you wonder, the hurtboxes are not affected with his new sprites. Didn't wanted to modify it even if doesn't reflect his big head, since would affect slightly to those who are used to play as him (me included). So yeah, same knight, different open look!

> New taunt animation for the extra/secret taunt, a little nod to Showdown and the catchphrase of our fella "???"
> Comes with 12 colors in total, take a look at the screenshots to see them
> The skin also covers the Abyss mode custom moves! (...except for one, more details below). It includes:
- Ichor of Fortune NSpecial
- Diagonal Drop DAir
- Burrow Bomber FTilt/FAir
- Chaos Orb UTilt
- Throwing Anchor USpecial

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*****Notes:
There are a few problems where I got trouble with the skin. Mostly due to the game working with certain filenames different from what the community has on the base archives.

* Bait Bomb uses a different title than "dspecial_abyss", therefore my fish version of the move can't be dysplayed right now in-game.
* The trace image on the Air Dodge also uses a different title, so he will still display normal SK. To work around this, I made the 2 parts into a single animation, so now Fish SK will look like a floating ghost when performs a dodge, heheh.
*Also, while minimal, Burrow Bomber has different files for the start and end frames when perofrmed on the ground, so could not change them as well. BUT, the middle of the attack takes the aerial sprites, so he will still be seen as fish when the attack is active.

And that's it. Always enjoy this version of Shovel Knight, and I'm glad I can share it with you Rival players, have fun!

@Pacster Thanks for mentioning it, have been aware of it and recently fixed the placecent of the cloud again. Something in the game affected it last time.
(Very sorry for the late response too, apart of busy my pc got better just recently to open modding tools again).

I don't know if you are still planning any future patches, but I wanted to mention that the cloud sprite that appears for their Arial Down Special is misaligned. It's purely a cosmetic issue, but I wanted to bring it up just in case.

@zarafiq yep, nothing has been said officially, but many skins and hints says that he is a fish. And at the very least in RoA he IS a fish as shown with his taunt.

yes he does have a fish head
zarafiq 28 May, 2023 @ 12:58am 
like does shovel knight ACTUALLY have a fish head?
zarafiq 28 May, 2023 @ 12:55am 
is this offical?

@Watchirin No idea! Guess the uptades messed up again the skins, because I also tried other SK skins and they also have the cloud misplaced.
Would try something to fix it, but without reference I can't guess how to. Maybe will be changed in another update or something, hopefully...

why the cloud are far when Shovel Knight do air Down-Special? 0.0

@ProDevin Oh, yeah it did changd again. Looks like the new update reverted back the scales of the skin sprites.
Fixed now, changed them to the old version with the correct sizes 👍
