The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

In an interview with Famitsu on December 12, 2018, Sakurai mentioned that he and the development team sought to make Richter and Simon function as similarly to their ''Castlevania'' appearances as possible. To reflect this, their designs are based on their appearances in ''Castlevania: Harmony of Despair'';<ref>[https://twitter.com/i/status/1097006144990507008 PushDustIn on Twitter: "The first new tidbit is about Simon and Richter's design inspiration."]</ref> in the case of Richter, he also wears his glove and wrist tape from ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood'', while his hairstyle is a combination of his ''Rondo of Blood'' and ''Harmony of Despair'' designs.

Although Richter is an [[Echo Fighter]] of Simon, Sakurai noted that Simon's moveset takes inspiration from Richter's ''Castlevania'' techniques to a greater extent as well, making them derivatives of each other.<ref name=Direct/> On a related note, there is only one mechanical difference between them: Richter's [[Holy Water]] possesses the {{b|aura|effect}} effect, whereas Simon's possesses the [[flame]] effect. This gives him situational differences in certain matchups: unlike Simon, he can harm Red {{b|Pikmin|species}}, but he cannot remotely detonate explosives (such as {{b|Bomb|Link|}}s). Otherwise, their moves are identical. Aesthetically, Richter has his own taunts and victory poses in reference to ''Rondo of Blood'' and ''Symphony of the Night'', while his Holy Water's flame is blue compared to Simon's red flame.<ref name=Direct/>
