Richter is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was announced as a newcomer during a Nintendo Direct on August 8, 2018. He is an Echo of Simon. Richter is voiced by David Vincent, reprising his roles from Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

Attributes

• 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 up and to spin his whip around.

Differences from Simon

• Richter has different taunts and victory animations from Simon. One of his victory animations is taken from the cutscene where he rescues Tera in Rondo of Blood. One of his taunts is based off of the animation used for the Hydro Storm Item Crash, with an open hand instead of a finger point.
• Richter's Holy Water has blue fire instead of red.
