Keith Silverstein, Simon's English voice actor in ''Castlevania: Judgment'', reprises his role as Simon in English versions of the game. Hideo Ishikawa, who voiced Simon in ''DreamMix TV World Fighters'', also reprises the role in the Japanese version. In the Korean version, Simon uses his English voice clips. | Keith Silverstein, Simon's English voice actor in ''Castlevania: Judgment'', reprises his role as Simon in English versions of the game.

Simon, alongside his [[Echo Fighter]] Richter, are ranked 74th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing the Belmonts in the D- tier. The Belmonts are well known for their strong zoning and keeping opponents away from them thanks to their arsenal of projectiles and their range thanks to their signature whip. They are good at harassing their opponents in neutral and keeping them in a disadvantage for long periods of time. Their strengths culminate in them at the ledge, with several tools for ledgetrapping, such as [[Holy Water]] and forward tilt. Uppercut is an effective out-of-shield option against aggressive players or those who can get in their defense. The Belmonts also have the unique property to angle some of their aerials, namely forward air and back air to hit opponents low to the ground or anti-air them. Overall, the Belmonts are effective at controlling the pace of the match. | Simon, alongside his [[Echo Fighter]] Richter, are ranked 74th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing the Belmonts in the D- tier.

However, the Belmonts are equipped with a multitude of crippling weaknesses. Their disadvantage state is among one of the worst in the game due to not having a single viable combo escape, with the exception of down air, which can be predictable. They also suffer from one of the worst recoveries in the game with Uppercut, providing very little horizontal distance and drift and their tether recoveries not having much reach, allowing any character in the game to edgeguard them consistently if sent offstage. | However, the Belmonts are equipped with a multitude of crippling weaknesses.

The Belmonts are formidable zoners with tools to constantly keep their distance, but opponents who get past their flurry of projectiles can often take advantage of their poor defensive game, and make it difficult for them to reset to neutral. Thus, they are difficult characters to be consistent with at a high level. While their representation have dropped after the first few years of the game, they have seen some respectable tournament results and representation from players, such as {{Sm|T3 Dom}} and {{Sm|YoseFu}}. | |||

|dairdesc=A [[stall-then-fall]] divekick, based on the ability both Simon and Richter can obtain in ''Castlevania: Harmony of Despair''. Goes downward at a diagonal angle, with the first two frames being a [[meteor smash]]. Comes out on frame 13, which is rather fast in comparison to other meteor smashes. On hit, Simon will bounce back with a flourish, which can combo into other attacks: the early hit easily combos into forward or back aerials at medium percents, Uppercut at 100% or above as a KO combo, or even into itself at low percents. However, it is dangerous to use offstage, since Simon's recovery is very poor and the duration of the move will most likely lead to a self-destruct if used carelessly. The move's hitbox also does not completely cover Simon's outstretched leg hurtbox, meaning that opponents' attacks can easily trade with it or even completely snuff it out. It is also Simon's only aerial that cannot autocancel in a short hop. | |dairdesc=A [[stall-then-fall]] divekick, based on the ability both Simon and Richter can obtain in ''Castlevania: Harmony of Despair''.

Notably, while Simon can use his whip as a tether recovery, he does not use it to grab opponents; despite this, his grabs are fairly slow for a non-tether grab, additionally hampered by below-average range. These traits make it a poor choice in most situations, especially when considering Simon's already slow mobility. | ||

Simon's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Simon has been unlocked. Unlocking Simon in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with his artwork in ''Ultimate''. | Simon's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Simon.
