Revision as of 13:33, August 15, 2021
Use this template to store information relevant to the metagame of Simon and Richter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
When Simon and his Echo Fighter, Richter, were revealed on August 8, 2018, there was considerable hype for them due to their showcased strengths, including extremely high reach, an array of powerful projectiles, and ledge trapping potential. When the game released in December, some players viewed the Belmonts as a high tier, or potentially a top tier character because of their spacing and zoning ability allowing them to play an effective defensive game. Simon and Richter also were notable counterpicks for certain characters that struggle with range due to their spacing and keep away game. However, their weaknesses were soon discovered to be prominent, with a notoriously poor recovery due to situational recovery moves alongside low air speed, inconsistency in KOing, average frame data, poor mobility and a high skill ceiling. Thus, their results and viability dropped, with some players such as Mew2King, ZeRo, ESAM, and Armada relegating them to a mid tier or a low high tier. Simon, in particular, was considerably overshadowed by Richter in terms of tournament representation, though this was due to players' aesthetic preferences rather than any difference between them. However, many players would later drop Richter, and Simon would eventually gather more results from players such as TRIGGER, Cherry, and PreCookedBread. Though Simon has a noticeably better position in the metagame as time progressed, both characters' official tier placement remains unknown.
