The user ascends up and slightly forward while rising with the Vampire Killer, hitting multiple times.

Uppercut (アッパー, Upper) is Simon and Richter's up special move.

Overview

The user ascends up and slightly forward while rising with the Vampire Killer, hitting multiple times. Its poor height and inability to be angled like similar recovery moves, combined with the Belmonts' limited aerial mobility, make it difficult to use as a recovery, typically forcing them to rely more on their whip aerials' potent tether recoveries. Unlike the majority of the user's moveset, Uppercut comes out with quick startup in exchange for lacking range, making it an effective out of shield option. Uppercut is unlikely to KO on its own until very high percentages, but it becomes much more reliable at doing so when used as a combo finisher, especially after hitting an opponent with a down aerial or a returning Cross.

Richter (SSBU) Performs an uppercut while rising up high. Lands multiple blows if it hits the moment he leaves the ground.

Origin

Richter using his High Jump in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

This move is based on the High Jump ability which was introduced to the Castlevania series in Symphony of the Night. In that game, after Alucard obtains the Gravity Boots, he can perform this maneuver with the inputs ↓, ↑ + [JUMP]. When playing in Richter Mode, Richter can perform this without obtaining the relic, attacking on the way up. It can be performed multiple times in the air. Various characters are capable of utilizing either variation, though it is primarily wielders of the Vampire Killer that use the uppercut. Unlike in Symphony of the Night, Richter cannot perform the Uppercut multiple times, and the height he jumps at is notably shorter.

While Simon generally has not been shown to use this move, he was able to perform it in the short-lived mobile game Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls.[1]
