'''Richter Belmont''' is a vampire hunter from the ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' series of games, and the descendant of [[Simon Belmont]], who debuted as the main protagonist of ''{{wp|Castlevania: Rondo of Blood}}''. Richter faces the resurrected [[Dracula]] in the year 1792, storming Castlevania after the town of Aljiba was burned by Dracula's forces and innocent maidens were kidnapped, including Richter's girlfriend. He is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

==History==
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Richter (SSBU)}}
Richter makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a third-party character. He appears alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Simon Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Bayonetta]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]], [[Ryu]], and [[Ken Masters]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], and Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]]. He and Simon were confirmed to be in the game via a Nintendo Direct that took place on August 8th, 2018. Richter is voiced in English by {{wp|David Vincent (actor)|David Vincent}}, reprising his role from previous ''Castlevania'' titles, including ''{{wp|Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin|Portrait of Ruin}}'', ''{{wp|Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|Harmony of Despair}}'', and ''The Dracula X Chronicles''<ref>[https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 Tweet by David Vincent]</ref>; and in Japanese by {{wp|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}, his voice actor in ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night}}''.

Richter is classified as an Echo Fighter of Simon, with his moveset and animations being based directly on Simon's (although the two actually take inspiration from each other). Richter's special attacks are Axe, an ax that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a multi-hitting projectile, with a blue flame that does aura damage instead of an orange burning one that does flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as his recovery move. Richter's Final Smash, Grand Cross, is functionally identical to Simon's identically-named Final Smash.

In Simon's debut trailer, he saves his ancestor Simon from Dracula's attack, and shouts a variant of his famous line from ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night}}'' (quoted above), "Die monster. You don't belong in this world!"

Similar to [[King Dedede]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Lucina]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Richter's name is announced differently in the Japanese version to reflect the pronunciation in that language. This trait is also shared with Simon and [[King K. Rool]].
