The only gameplay difference between Richter and Simon is that Richter's Holy Water has an {{b|aura|effect}} [[effect]], as opposed to Simon's Holy Water which has a [[flame]] effect, as a result of the blue flames. Because of this, Richter has a slightly better matchup against {{SSBU|Olimar}} (as he can deal damage to Olimar's Red [[Pikmin]], who are immune to flame-based attacks, with Holy Water), while Simon is more favorable in the matchups against {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}} and {{SSBU|Steve}}, as he can cause the former three's explosives to forcibly detonate before reaching him using Holy Water, while his Holy Water's flame effect makes it easier to detonate Steve's [[TNT]] blocks. | The only gameplay difference between Richter and Simon is that Richter's Holy Water has an {{b|aura|effect}} [[effect]], as opposed to Simon's Holy Water which has a [[flame]] effect, as a result of the blue flames.

Otherwise, Richter plays and acts identically to Simon, with his only different animations being his idle animation, taunts and victory animations. | Otherwise, Richter plays and acts identically to Simon, with his only different animations being his idle animation, taunts and victory animations. Aside from the aforementioned matchups, choosing one is entirely a matter of aesthetic preference. | ||
