Richter is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was announced as a newcomer during a Nintendo Direct on August 8, 2018. He is an Echo of Simon. Richter is voiced by David Vincent, reprising his roles from Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

Attributes

• Richter's design is based on his look from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, with some adjustments inspired by Symphony of the Night, such as the design of his boots and how his pants are tucked into them.
• Much like how Simon borrows moves originally from Richter, Richter borrows moves from Simon, such as the ability to whip up and to spin his whip around.

Differences from Simon

• Richter has different taunts and victory animations from Simon. One of his victory animations is taken from the cutscene where he rescues Tera in Rondo of Blood.
• Richter's Holy Water has blue fire instead of red.
