I'm back, and with my return, I bring back the same argument as to what Richter's alternate colors truly reference. Please actually read the evidence I have here instead of just saying "Yeah, but, it's obv this because this one color matches." If it's just one color, it could be a vague reference or even a huge stretch, though it obviously depends on the scenario. Please use [https://www.ssbwiki.com/images/d/d0/Richter_Palette_%28SSBU%29.png the wiki's Richter costume line up image] for reference when reading if you need to.

Open up the images presented in the article in a new tab so that you are not flipping from multiple pages. It definitely gets annoying. Without further ado, Let's'a Go:


1. Richter's default costume: Again, do I even need to say it?

2. Richter's 2nd costume: Red shirt, White edges on shirt, Black Undershirt, White Gloves, White pants, Black boots. I said, before, that this could not have been Christopher Belmont or the rival from the cancelled Bloodletting. What I saw, however, was a reference to [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/a/a4/Justefull.gif/revision/latest?cb=20080812120254 Juste Belmont]. I said it was because of the fact that Juste Belmont's character has been depicted as wearing a Red shirt with White edges, Black undershirt, White gloves, White Pants, and Black Boots. The part that got me to believe it was Juste is the color of the boots. I said, "When so many of Richter's alternate costumes change the color of the boots, why wouldn't the color change to light brown to reference Christopher in Rebirth or the rival from Bloodletting? The fact that they are Black boots in particular sells me on it being Juste Belmont." I am still confident in my evidence for it being Juste, though now I do believe that it could also be a reference, vague or otherwise, to Christopher Belmont, even though Christopher is nowhere to be found in Ultimate, and Richter's red alt. is used for Juste's fight.

3. Richter's 3rd costume: Purple shirt, Greenish-grey Undershirt, White gloves, Black pants, and Yellow Purple and Black boots. Before the HD pictures of Richter's Alts were posted to the wiki, me, as well as many others believed that this was a reference to the 32X sprite of Richter from the unreleased Castlevania game. Though a HUGE stretch with NO evidence to support it, it was the best we could come up with. Scrolling over Richter's undershirt with a color-grabbing tool reveals that his undershirt is a faded out green color. This green, coupled with his purple tunic, white gloves, and boots with yellow on them, match nothing else in Castlevania except for [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/b/b1/Shaft.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170722230810 Shaft], the priest who cursed Richter after Rondo of Blood. Though this could still be a stretch, there is definitely more evidence going for this than [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/a/a0/Bloodletting_richter.gif/revision/latest?cb=20090326031802 the 32X sprite], which, mind you, never had an ounce of Purple, Yellow, or Green.

4. Richter's 4th costume: Green shirt, Gold edges on shirt, Normal undershirt, Grey pants, and Dark-Brown boots with Light Brown coverings. This costume is clearly a reference to [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/4/46/Maria_PSP.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170723014700 Maria Renard] as she appeared in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where she wears a Green tunic with Golden-colored cuffs. She also wore socks that are greyish-white and shoes that are light brown in color. These colors, almost directly correlating to those seen on Richter's green Alt. The other reference, which I am warming up to, is that of the Curse effect from Rondo of Blood and Dracula X, where Richter's Tunic turns green, and his boots are still light brown. Though if were referencing the curse effect, what is with the golden outlines on the tunic?
