'''Richter''' ({{ja|リヒター|Rihitā}}, ''Richter'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was announced as a newcomer alongside {{SSBU|Simon}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on August 8th, 2018. He is an [[clone|Echo Fighter]] of {{SSBU|Simon}}. {{iw|wikipedia|David Vincent|actor}}, Richter's voice from ''Portrait of Ruin'', ''The Dracula X Chronicles'', and ''Harmony of Despair'', [https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 confirmed on Twitter] that he would be reprising his role as Richter in English versions of the game. Richter's design is based on his look from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, with some adjustments inspired by Symphony of the Night, such as the design of his boots and how his pants are tucked into them. Much like how Simon borrows moves originally from Richter, Richter borrows moves from Simon, such as the ability to whip upwards and diagonally, as well as using his whip to hang from certain surfaces. | '''Richter''' ({{ja|リヒター|Rihitā}}, ''Richter'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
