Why is the movement so sticky?

[DOS32]

It feels like im trying to move him through syrup.

[CapStee]

I remember feeling like that at first. If you jump, you can gain instant momentum, so maybe that should help.

[Oguzhan]

Yeah, I am not a fan of that either. With classic megaman (especially in 9 and 10) the start up was instant , which is way better imo. I don't like shovel knights jump either to be honest. You can't really do a light tap for minimum height like you can do in classic megaman.

I do like how Specter Controls and feels though. His move set really compliments the shovel knight style running and jumping.......better than shovel knight.....

[DOS32]

I had to refund it because its too awful.

I certainly agree that Specter Knight and Mega Man have better movement, but I don't know why you'd think you can't do a small jump, because you definitely can.

Yeah, it's pretty good imo, except that I had problems with climbing ladders midair and shovel dropping while moving sometimes.

A good dpad is pretty much needed, especially the one that allows diagonals easily. Or just use keyboard that is.

Agreed. I had similar issues, though I'm using an xbox 360 controller.

I said "like you can do in classic megaman" if you haven't noticed. In Shovel Knight the minumum hight you can take is not as low as you can in megaman.Its more like Ducktales.

It may not sound so much but when it comes to controls I want the very best.

Its not a problem with Specter since his abilities make up for it and are more suited for it. Which is good enough for me. When I go back to Shovel Knight I always play as him not just because of the controls but because of the more megaman style gameplay. Before he came along my playtime was 12 hours , after however it became 63 hours :D

Here's hoping King Knight is just as fun. Man I sure got my moneys worth too. 3 campaigns for free and with the original price on a steam sale :D

Atleast it's not as worst as plague knight, or maybe I just need more time to adjust his controls.

King knight reminds me a lot of wario land.

Plague is for certain people only. I will say this though I liked him more than shovel knight himself. Everything about shovel knight's playthrough except the boss fights I did not care for whatsoever. Infact until Specter I wasn't the biggest fan of Shovel Knight. I had fun with Plague due to his story mode and unique gameplay but shovel knight (shovel of hope) felt like inferior megaman in every single way.

Fair enough. Though I'd say plague knight is more customizable than shovel knight, and experimenting with different combinations is actually kinda fun.

To be fair, I haven't played any megaman game yet (I'm a wimp at facing NES-level of difficulty lol). Should probably try one in the future.

I find all the official games to have glaring flaws. If you want the classic style with modern game design integrity, look for some fan-games. They're like, the best thing ever. Some people find them even harder than the official games, and while that may be true, they're also more fair. Some also have difficulty settings for noobs (and masochists, like me).

Specter knight has better controls

I highly recommend classic series. With the exception of megaman and bass every game in it is good. It depends on your preference which one will be your favorite but objectively every game is good. My list is something like this;

9=10>1>4>7>2>6>5>bass>8>3

9 and 10 being tied for my favorite games along with the trails in the sky trilogy.

I actually heard that megaman and bass is good...the sfc version though, fan translated. Gba version is ridiculous. Idk though, I can't comment cause I haven't play any.

The reason I said "except megaman and bass" is because it has some really bad design choices. Like one of the bosses can kaizo kill you when you beat it. It doesn't have freedom when it comes to your order which is really bad for a megaman game.

I do like megaman and bass for the most part and hell certain parts where majority of people call terrible I really like, for example king tank 2 and burner man fight. The game has a fantastic soundtrack and a great set of weapons too. Not as good as 9 , 4 ,2 but very close.
