Although Richter is an [[Echo Fighter]] of Simon, Sakurai noted that Simon's moveset takes inspiration from Richter's ''Castlevania'' techniques to a greater extent as well, making them derivatives of each other.<ref name=Direct/> On a related note, there is one notable mechanical difference between them: Richter's [[Holy Water]] possesses the [[Aura]] effect, whereas Simon's possesses the [[flame]] effect. This gives him situational differences in certain matchups: unlike Simon, he can harm red {{b|Pikmin|species}}, but he cannot remotely detonate explosives (such as {{b|Bomb|Link|}}s). Aesthetically, Richter has his own taunts and victory poses in reference to ''Rondo of Blood'' and ''Symphony of the Night'', while his Holy Water's flame is blue compared to Simon's red.<ref name=Direct/> | Although Richter is an [[Echo Fighter]] of Simon, Sakurai noted that Simon's moveset takes inspiration from Richter's ''Castlevania'' techniques to a greater extent as well, making them derivatives of each other.<ref name=Direct/> On a related note, there is one notable mechanical difference between them: Richter's [[Holy Water]] possesses the [[Aura]] effect, whereas Simon's possesses the [[flame]] effect.
