He is the third fighter from [[Konami]] after {{SSBU|Snake}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}. He was announced as a newcomer alongside Simon, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on August 8th, 2018. Richter and Simon take inspiration from each other's home series appearances, with Richter being labeled as the [[Echo Fighter]] of the two, thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #66<sup>ε</sup>]]. | ||
{{iw|wikipedia|David Vincent|actor}}, Richter's recurring voice actor as of ''Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles'' and also the voice of {{SSBU|Robin}}, reprises his role in the English version, with his role [https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 comfirmed by the actor]. {{s|wikipedia|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}, his voice actor from ''Symphony of the Night'' onward, reprises his role in the Japanese version; it would be one of his last performances as the character before his passing on November 14th, 2022. In the Korean version of the game, Richter uses his English voice clips. | |||
Richter, alongside his base fighter Simon, 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. | |||
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. | |||
In conclusion, the Belmonts have some key strengths to consistently win neutral but should their defense be infiltrated, they have a lot of trouble getting back to that position. Thus, the Belmonts are difficult characters to be consistent with at a high level. They have seen some respectable tournament results and representation from players, such as {{Sm|T3 Dom}} and {{Sm|YoseFu}}, showing how capable the characters are. | |||

The only | The only moveset 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. Simon can also use his version of the move to instantly detonate other items such as [[Blast Box]]es or [[Bomber]]s, or grow [[Hothead]]s at a faster rate. | ||

Richter received a mix of buffs, a single nerf and a single glitch fix via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall. Initially, he received only inconsequential changes from updates 3.0.0 and 4.0.0. After being absent from updates for a whole year, however, Richter received a few quality of life buffs from update 9.0.0. Neutral infinite received [[transcendent priority]] as part of a near-universal buff, which prevents it from being canceled by weak attacks. Dash attack's looping hits had their damage outputs increased, although its last hit's knockback was altered slightly to compensate. Up tilt's knockback was also altered, which makes it safer on hit at low percentages at the cost of worsening its KO potential. Up and down smashes received more knockback, with the former also having its start-up and ending lag decreased slightly. Lastly, [[Uppercut]]'s vertical range was increased. | |||

If the attack button is held down instead, Richter will hold out the Vampire Killer, and it can then be manually twirled around. This attack is based on Simon's Whip Twirl from ''Super Castlevania IV'' (and was also used by Richter himself in ''Symphony of the Night''), and it is functionally similar to [[Sheik]]'s [[Chain]] in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. The chain deals minor damage in this way, but can cancel very weak projectiles that collide with it. The spiked ball of the chain is its sweetspot, which deals more damage and sends opponents away. If pushed off a platform by a windbox while doing this, Richter will continue dangling the whip, and can be moved left and right through the air while simultaneously controlling it. | If the attack button is held down instead, Richter will hold out the Vampire Killer, and it can then be manually twirled around.

It can also potentially chain into itself more than once at low percents. However, it has no grounded hitboxes beside him whatsoever, making it risky against grounded opponents. The move also has a very weak hitbox when the chain first comes out, though it has no typical use. | ||

The jump deals less damage late, and is capable of jumping off platforms and edges. The first hit allows Richter to slide under projectiles or high hitboxes.

Has tremendous reach, being the longest non-projectile forward smash in the game (outperforming {{SSBU|Corrin}}, {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, and {{SSBU|Shulk}}). Deals the most damage at the tip of the chain, and less when up close. The sweetspot can KO as early as 57% from the edge of Final Destination, is safe on shield due to its sheer distance, and deals respectable damage to shields. The rest of the move is punishable on shield, and opponents can crouch under the chain.

Excellent range, allowing it to hit distant targets easily. However, the hitboxes are slim and have a short duration, while the move has some startup, requiring precise use. Has low ending lag, allowing Richter to double jump and perform another aerial if done from a short hop. Also can be used as a [[tether recovery]], which is useful as Richter has no horizontal recovery options otherwise.

This is the only functionally different attack Richter has compared to Simon's; Richter's version does not deal [[flame]] damage, which is due to it using blue "fire" particles as opposed to Simon's red ones. Instead, it deals {{b|aura|effect}} damage, but its damage output does not scale with Richter's damage percentage unlike any of {{SSBU|Lucario}}'s aura-based moves. | This is the only functionally different attack Richter has compared to Simon's; Richter's version does not deal [[flame]] damage, which is due to it using blue "fire" particles as opposed to Simon's red ones.

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''. | ||

*Richter is the only Echo Fighter whose position in the [[fighter number]]s would be unchanged if Echo Fighters were numbered in the same way as regular fighters, as he was revealed directly after Simon, before any other characters. | |||

*Like {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, and {{SSBU|Simon}}, Richter's name is pronounced differently between the different international versions of ''Ultimate''. It is pronounced with a short i, hard k, and r in English ("Richter"), while using a long e, h, and a in Japanese ("Reehtah"), closer to the original German pronunciation of the name. | *Like {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|King K.

*Richter and {{SSBU|Ken}} are the only Echo Fighter newcomers with a CGI trailer as well as the only ones with CGI footage for their splash art. {{SSBU|Daisy}} did not have either, while {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} had only gameplay footage for their trailers and their official artwork for their splash arts. | *Richter and {{SSBU|Ken}} are the only Echo Fighter newcomers with a CGI trailer, as well as the only ones with CGI footage for their splash art. {{SSBU|Daisy}} did not have either, while {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} had only gameplay footage for their trailers and their official artwork for their splash arts. | ||

*When Richter is [[asleep]], he will mutter "[[Dracula]]..." as he dozes. This makes him the only character to speak while asleep.
