Grand Cross (グランドクロス, Grand Cross) is Simon and Richter's Final Smash.
Overview
A large coffin appears in front of Simon/Richter, trapping fighters within it. The user then grabs the coffin with his chain whip, and tosses it up in the air, under the moonlight, before unleashing multiple energy crosses from underneath to attack with.
Origin
Richter using Grand Cross in the opening to
Rondo of Blood.
The Grand Cross is a technique that appears frequently in the Castlevania series beginning with Rondo of Blood. Given its power, it is typically difficult to use given the resources needed to perform it. Within the series canon, the first Belmont to use Grand Cross is Leon in Lament of Innocence, where he could do so after combining the Cross with the Yellow Orb. Since then, many Belmonts have been able to use Grand Cross, particularly Richter, who can use it in every game he appears in.
The Grand Cross's appearance in Ultimate is specifically based on its appearance in Rondo of Blood, where it was an Item Crash attack. Richter can equip the Cross as his sub-weapon and spend fifteen hearts to use Grand Cross. Item Crash attacks are typically very damaging and cover a wide area, not unlike some Final Smashes, but in Smash, the move is used as part of a trap and does not cover the stage. The energy like appearance may be inspired by how it appeared in Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow.
Trivia
- Simon has never been able use Grand Cross in the main Castlevania series games, but can do so in the fighting game Castlevania: Judgment.
