The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Article on Wikipedia | Death (personification) |
Death is a recurring boss in the Castlevania series, often serving as the penultimate boss. Death serves as Dracula's most trusted confidant, and is often one of the most difficult battles in the game.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Death appears as a background character in Dracula's Castle. He does not seem to interact with the fighters. Death prominently appears in Simon and Richter's character reveal trailer "Vampire Killer," where he slices Luigi's soul out of his body before Simon attacks him.
His scythe also appears as an item.
Origin
As a prominent aspect of human life and culture, depictions of personifications of Death are common in numerous media. The image of a hooded skeletal figure wielding a scythe is often known as the Grim Reaper. Fittingly, Death appears as a regular character in the Castlevania series, often filling the role of Dracula's most trusted servant. Death is the only boss aside from Dracula to return in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest where he serves as the boss of Brahm's Mansion, and drops the Gold Knife, the strongest knife in the game. In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Death appears before Alucard and tries to persuade him to cease his crusade against his father. When Alucard refuses, Death strips Alucard of all of his gear, requiring him to obtain new weapons, armor, and abilities throughout the game.
