Simon (シモン, Simon) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was announced as a newcomer during a Nintendo Direct on August 8, 2018.

Attributes

• Simon's design is based on his appearance from the original Castlevania, with some elements from Super Castlevania IV, such as his shoulder pad and the spiked bracelet he wears on his upper arm.
• Simon's main weapon is his fully upgraded whip which he uses in the Castlevania games, giving him tremendous reach for many moves, but noticeable startup lag as a result. As in Super Castlevania IV, he can hold out his whip and spin in around to attack foes, similar to Sheik's old Chain. He can also use it as a tether to latch onto ledges.
  • Simon's whip has unique sound effects, with his attacks using the lashing and striking sounds from some of the old Castlevania games.
• Simon's specials use various items from the Castlevania series, including the axe, holy water, and boomerang-cross. He can also perform attacks originally from Richter, such as his uppercut and slide kick from Symphony of the Night.
