SHOVEL KNIGHT: Shovel of Hope 

i made an editing oopsie at 5:32, so please put all of your comments roasting me in this convenient thread instead of the entire comment section, please and thank you

“I don’t really replay games that often.” *Eight year pause* “I mean single player games”

"Are you calling me because Ninja was on that show last night?" "Yeah, who is he?"

When he leaves out the “actual” tinker knight boss fight so you get absolutely blindsided when you fight him for the 1st time

"I'm just being tossed around like an STD at a small college." -Alpharad, 2019

“I am getting tossed around like an STD at a small college” oh.my.god. That is legendary my mans. What a quote

"Oh no, he's tickling my tinkie" Jacob involuntarily channeled his inner Travis.

"Hi Mona, we'll explore your story later." *1 year later*

Im just being tossed around like an std at a small college -alpharad 2019

"I'm just being passed around like an STD at a small college." Alpha, you are a good funny boy.

“We’ll explore your story later” He did not explore her story later

"If you agree that you're not stupid, like the video!" Bold of you to assume anyone on here thinks they're not stupid.

I love the part where his mom literally called him to tell him ninja was on the masked singer

"Oh no, he's tickling my tinkie" -Alpharad 2019

5:32 Specter knight: shut up right now, some people need to listen to la danse macabre, my stage theme

Shovel Knight makes an appearance in almost every slightly new 2D game. Literally.

19:37 Omg, you even interrupted yourself. This is the sort of dedication to one stupid joke I have come to respect.

The fact that you talked over yourself when saying "I'll make him eat those words" just like in SA2 made me crack up you have no idea lmao, genius edit

“I know this game is like a Metroidvania” If we had to pick something to bully this poor man over in the comments, how was it not this!

14:26 "They just captured the essence!" Plague Knight: *TRIGGERED*

"Don't let those pixels fool you. Shield Knight is a BABE." *ahegao* Oh Jacob... Never change.

The fact that you kept the audio cut-in for the “Ill make you eat those words” has me both concerned and proud of you

Y’all think I wouldn’t notice this subliminal messaging 14:10 look at the top of the screen

Play through the DLC's I really love them personally. Also I want to see you inevitably run out of jokes midway through plague knight

"Bada Bing Bada Boom Get These Thots Out The Room " - Alpharad 2019 Get that on a shirt

Me: Was that a Danny Phantom reference? Alpha: Yeah, that was

0:38 Hmm yes, plague knight, yep, totally plague knight

"I'm like a STD getting thrown around a small college" -Alpha, 2019

19:39 I knew exactly where that joke was going. But a follow-through that perfect caught me so off-guard, that was beautiful.

I was expecting “Did you watch the stinger last night” “No mama”

“Hard ass reads” Some things just don’t change And I’m fine with that

Alpharad: Specter Knight is the best by far! Me, a Tinker Knight lover: *Ima pretend I didn't hear that-*

"If you agree that you're not stupid, be sure to like!" Damn, and to think I almost liked the video. Close one.

19:30 i knew exactly where this joke was going and I respect you so much for making it, especially at the very end where you cut yourself off to stay true to the original shitshow (masterpiece) that is the Sonic Adventure 2 dialogue

"I'm just being tossed around like an STD at a small college." (Deep Inhale) Ok

Hollow Knight can get pretty hardcore, I think you’d really enjoy it.

“Just a LONELY guy with a hot goth gf” one of these words does not match the sentence.

I would actually love for a play through of the other shovel knight games.

in my opinion try just shapes and beats, they just added shovel knight music too

12:38 I legit thought you were acting, and then your mom said hello

Hey Hollow Knight’s a pretty good game maybe you should- “No 90 hour jrpg” Ok :(

"I know this is a metroidvania type of game" >Is not actually a metroidvania in any way, shape or form

A couple ideas for you since you wanted some: The Messenger: Starts out as an 8bit linear platformer like Shovel Knight but evolves into a time traveling 8bit to 16bit metroidvania. The movement is sick too, if you think Spectre Knight has sick movement, you'll love the Messenger's movement. Take a bit to master but once you get it you can do all kinds of wacky stuff. If you're not 100%ing, probably around 5-7 hours give or take. Plus the free DLC is rad. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight: Probably any Momodora game can go here, this is just the one I've played. Metroidvania but you can turn into a cat. Also you get to play as a cute anime shrine maiden girl with a leaf. A bit on the tougher side of things, but not like Boshy levels of bullshit or anything, just makes you work for it. If you wanna do more memory lane stuff, Cave Story+ is a classic And for something completely unlike the others, Aragami is a cool 3D stealthy ninja game kinda like a 3D version of Mark of the Ninja, it can be a little clunky at times but it's a solid 8/10. Plus it has a level creator so if you wanted, you could make a level and make Travis suffer since Jo can't anymore.

Thanks for reminding me this exist, so now I have some challenges that I made up, or maybe someone did this before, I don’t know, just do it. Hard mode: Complete the game without buying anything and don’t use any meal tickets or upgrades. Harder mode: same as hard mode, but you have to break every checkpoints. Money Spender: Buy everything in the game, but if you die, you can’t get back the gold you lost, or go back in the levels. Legendary Player: Do harder made, but on the ‘New Game Plus’ On a diet: Complete the game without eating Pacifist: Beat a level without killing any enemy except mini bosses or the boss Anyways, those are my challenges, put in the comments any suggestions or if I do something stupid.

"They put Shovel Knight in this game!" God dammit, already laughing

GIVE THE PEOPLE THE EPIC 90 HOUR JRPG WITH THE FUNNY SMASH BROS MAN

Alpharad saying that vid was a 2015 vid at 6:24 made me realize how long i've been watching alpharad for

"specter knight is the best" To play as, yes. But in any other way, have you heard of plague knight?

14:05 I think I know exactly what happened here. He accidentally fell and was about to save it but he wanted to use this moment as comedic timing so if you could see he actually drifted to the right just a little bit and killed himself. And I don’t know if I should respect him more or less.

0:52 "Is there a King of Cards?" Ah yes, *_A question I've been asking for about a year_* 1:59 *_AH, YES_*

"we'll explore your story later, dont worry" -alpharad 2019

love that you unironically communicate well with your mother. very wholesome.

I was literally in the middle of typing a request for you to play Dragon Quest XI (obv as a joke) when you called me out on it. I feel personally attacked.

5:31 This was so awkward. Imagine this being uncut and you have to sit through 20 seconds until the next sentence :D

I don't know why, but I had headphones on and the stick laughter really scared me for a second

Alpharad comedy goes unmatched. Absolutely love this channel and will always support it.

“Plague Knight” *shows Akechi* Well played

Alpha: 4 to 10 hours Hollow knight fans in the comment section: 112% IT IS!

when alpharad makes a hollow knight reverence and your day becomes 10 times better

FINALLY A RU-vidR I WATCH DOES A GOOD VIDEO ON SHOVEL KNIGHT. FINALLY!!!

"4 - 10 hours" Ok but if you're willing to play something longer: Hollow Knight.

Don’t let those pixels fool you Shield Knight is a babe- Alpharad 2019

5:31 i genuinely thought this was a next level gag until i saw the pinned comment dont out yourself like that ya dingus

This is one of the video I like rewatching.

4:41 I appreciate how he looks like an apple Reminds me of wispy I miss wispy

Alpharad plays Hollow Knight. You know you want it too

12:32 Excellent, it is always good to see such immense culture in the world * does Joseph's pose *

2:02 me talking about alpharads play through of plague knight

Could you play hollow knight next? It’s probably my favourite single player game at the moment

11:20 this man literally describes Hollow Knight I genuinely think he’s played it.

Alpharad + inherently hilarious game = I nearly fall out of my chair laughing

9:33. Oh my god I haven’t heard alpha say that in a few years. Had some hard ass pstd from that.

I accidentally said “I didn’t order a creeper” unironically and I’ve never said it before help

"I know this a metroidvania type of game." Alpharad you shouldn't do drugs on stream, it's unprofessional.

5:32’s long silence is really just fitting.

That hollow knight joke... You clever little.

I can't recommend "The Messenger" enough. It's available on everything, and is such a fun platformer

Black Knight: *laughs* Alpharad: "You laughed at me. Now you must D I E!"

alpha, good funny boy, my main man, my guy i watch when i have a strict deadline, but will procrastinate until the last minute because your videos are more important than a paycheck... will you do the rest of the treasure trove in this format?

I can’t listen to the in-game ost without thinking about the JS&B remixes

Day one of asking Alpharad to do a playthrough of Hollow Knight

"Hey look they have X in this game" is still funny to me, and I know there's someone somewhere in the depths of the comments who is like "OMG OF COURSE X is in the game, it's in the title" And my enjoyment of the bit will not waver.

10:45 the way u pogo on the chest is literally first thing i thought of

Alpha : Like using invincibility Also Alpha : GOD DAMN IT NABBIT!

Okay, now play Hollow Knight. You have to, you said its name.

Hollow Knight. Ye, that's totally under 10 hours. If you speedrun it.

I appreciate you not spoiling that one boss fight 👌👌👌

5:33 the silence is just incredible

Me: Any game huh? *Flowering night starts up* Jacob: Why do i hear boss music?

22:05 my man really played the Giorno theme

Half a year later, I'm still actively waiting for Supercuts of Plague of Shadows, Specter of Torment, and King of Cards, who else?

The platformer shovel knight fighting game and king of cards both come out in December of this year. The fighting game is called shovel Knight showdown

Hollow knight Do it you already made a play the whole Ultimate story mode.

You should play hollow knight. It's shares half of shovel knights name.

1:51 he is teabagging at least 103 times a second, but is so fast you see his after-image

Seeing the Hover Meanies gave me PTSD and then I threw my phone on the floor and screamed at it.

I'd love to see someone's first reaction to Enter the Gungeon.

Cadence of Hyrule is a good suggestion, I think I recall you saying that you like the game too

13:55 ...I have no words for how hilarious yet awkward that was. X'D 15:14 Holy shit Alpharad, that was so out of left field even you didn't expect that.

0:48 shovel knight, and many of the characters are already in brawlhalla, a platform fighting game
