Talk:Richter (SSBU)

Richter does not have any gameplay differences from Simon.

I am very confident that Richter has no differences from Simon and I am willing to prove it. Firstly, Sakurai directly mentions his "strength" is the same, but his look, voice and gestures are different. Secondly, he also demonstrated how Richter and Simon's holy water did identical things to Pit and Dark Pit. Thirdly the Japanese blog entry states that his attacks are the same as Simon's but his taunts are different. The English version is a mistranslation. --Memoryman3 (talk) 11:17, 26 August 2018 (EDT)

We've been over this. Miles (talk) 18:31, 26 August 2018 (EDT)

I don't get why you're so determined regarding this point. It's been said to death, I'm sure, but SmashWiki is not speculative. Until we have explicit confirmation that Richter and Simon are completely identical when it comes to hitboxes and damage, whether that be from official word or us playing the two characters ourselves, there's no point in consistently claiming they have no gameplay differences. Sakurai has said things that have been misinterpreted by the Smash community as a whole several times, and I doubt this particular instance is any different.

The direct literally showed that the two have no differences in gameplay. There’s no cosmetic tells that indicate different properties on the weapons, and the attack that has a clear tell was demonstrated to act identically. Why mention voice and appearance if gameplay differences were present? --Memoryman3 (talk) 19:27, 7 September 2018 (EDT)

I'm not saying we know for sure that there are gameplay differences. What I'm saying is that we don't know for sure that there aren't. Leaving it open-ended until the game releases is preferable to jumping to conclusions based on incomplete information. Miles (talk) 19:44, 7 September 2018 (EDT)
