–how much of Specter’s hood is fluffy cloth vs actual height? good question. they’re pretty consistent with each other (within a pixel or so) –fortunately, cold shoulder sprites exist, and a few other action-y type poses. –that said, even with player sprites, specter knight is HUNCHED OVER ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I will gleefully ignore them for this exercise Specter’s boss fight sprites are just piles of cloth with him slouching underneath. I have no explanation for this other than artistic liberties lol Stretch sprite: 46 pixels tall = 230 cm = 7 foot 6 (!!!) Normal: 36 pixels tall = 180 cm = 5 foot 10 Squash sprite: 32 pixels tall = 160 cm = 5 foot 2 –i refuse to count his fire-hair as height lol –has some fascinating squash and stretch in his sprite sheet –39 pixels tall = 195 cm tall = 6 foot 4. How about that! Maybe he has some kind of a battery pack for his propeller hat in the back of his shirt. –his least slouch-y sprite is his tuxedo sprite from the end of Plague of Shadows, so I used that initially… only to realize that he’s the exact same height in his other sprites as well. same size as shovel, aka also the size of a 9 year old. bird feathers do not count as height, final answerĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. –there are interesting things i could say about the bird feather situation but eh. So not only is Shovel the size of a 9 year old, but he might actually be the shortest in the class … the average 9 year old child is between 120-145 centimeters. i did wonder if his victory pose was any taller than his regular pose, but it’s notĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. But still not the tiniest member of the cast, believe it or not! –27 pixels tall = 135 cm tall = 4 foot 5. That extra pixel makes a difference for this tiny character lol –Tinker Knight slouches in almost all of his sprites, so I tried to find a sprite of him NOT slouching. Tiniest member of the cast, you say? Could you mean… Tinker Knight? Tiny plague knight, but as we’ll see later, not the tiniest member of the cast –Plague Knight is 31 pixels tall = 155 cm tall = 5 foot 1. This helps keep characters proportional to each other –Worth noting that I’m using playable/Showdown sprites as opposed to boss sprites when possible. Great question: I’ve got the rest of the math (with screenshot proof) under the cut:Īlright, in no particular order, let’s talk about Plague Knight next. So, what does this mean for the rest of the Shovel Knight cast? So when we divide 160 cm by 32 pixels, we discover that each pixel in the Shovel Knight universe is 5 centimeters in real life. It makes sense and it makes the math easierĬounting the pixels in Reize’s sprite, we can see that he is 32 pixels tall. It runs in the family, so I counted his height as being shorter than the height of his hair. *caveat: Reize’s hair is extremely fluffy. Let’s take a look at this boy’s sprite: (complete with blue Photoshop rulers in case you want to see where I measured from) His creator, Seizui, has been building canon around this character for years, and this link tells us that Reize’s canon height is 160 cm (5'3"). Gather round folks, it’s time to talk about Shovel Knight characters’ canon heights!įirst things first, let’s talk about our friend Reize Seatlan.
