Simon Belmont CONFIRMED PLAYABLE for Super Smash Bros Ultimate! Simon Belmont-exclusive Social Thread!

[PsychoIncarnate]

I didn't think I'd get excited since Verg and Nintendo themselves spoiled the Simon reveal

But they went and had Richter as well.

That was something I didn't expect.

Apparently Richter is the Japanese favorite Belmont. He's mine too. I kinds of feel like a weeb now.

 

[egaddmario]

WE DID IT BOYS! Looks like I'll need to finish Super Castlevania IV to celebrate!! Richter was a welcomed surprise!

 

[Oddball]

Well, that's it. My Number 2 choice for a Smash bros character have been added.

Awesome.

And now I have to update my ranker list to remove a few characters.

 

[Zzuxon]

Congratulations all. I wasn't an active Simon supporter, but when it comes to third parties I'm completely on-board with any iconic character with a big impact on video games, and Simon certainly fits the bill.

 

[ZealousGamer]

Congratulations!

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

I didn't get a good look at the music selection. Is Dracula's battle from SCIV in? I was listening to that and other Castlevania songs last night!

 

[ZagarTulip]

Man, I didn't even know I'd be excited for Simon until finally HE WAS REVEALED!!! And Even Richter as a surprise that threw me off guard so much but I am happy.

I have to say Congratulations people who supported this thread, I am happy you got your wish. You even got Richter as an option too Castlevania Fans!

 

[Mythra]

Dropping to say congrats; Super Castlevania IV is one of my favorite games ever, so having Simon is hype af.

 

[Jedisupersonic]

[Mr Gentleman]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Simon looks so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!! and we get RICHTER?! and Alucard assist, and a beautiful stage. AND ALL THAT MUSIC!!!!

 

[Seoxys]

I made a list with all the music asap !

 

[SuperSceptile15]

Congratulations everyone!

 

[vegeta18]

anyone notice differences between simon and richter?

 

[Blue_Sword_Edge]

Looks like we got both Simon and Richter. We got them both everyone.

 

[MAtgSy]

I like that he doesn't look like a lame anime character. *coughtJudgementcough*

 

[AreJay25]

anyone notice differences between simon and richter?

Besides animations and the color of Holy Water, nothing immediately jumped out.

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

I'm going to admit, I was very neutral on Simon as a character, and didn't believe that he would be getting in considering the fact that we already have Snake as a Konami rep and didn't think Nintendo would want to pay even more money to them for licenses. Seeing him in action during the Direct however turned me around and now I'm gonna be taking that L with a smile on my face. Congratulations guys!

 

[Spazzy_D]

Literally been advocating for his inclusion since I joined Source Gaming in 2015.

[True Blue Warrior]

Congratulations, guys!

 

[Oddball]

anyone notice differences between simon and richter?

Size. Simon is considerably bigger.

It looks to me like Richter falls into the small but faster style echo.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Congrats! Was so happy to not only see this, but tell one of my best friends about it. The amount of love Castlevania's getting with the music and everything is hella surreal too.

 

[Deleted member]

Seeing both Simon AND Richter confirmed, along with all the accompanying Castlevania content, I don't think I could get much more excited than this.

 

[SvartWolf]

Unghhhh he seems so fun to play as!!! I mean i loved robin, so im okay with no sheik frame data and super zoning tools <3 defintely i will try my earnest to main him.

 

[cephalopod17]

I never posted here before, but Simon Belmont is a great character and Castlevania is a legendary series. I wanted to stop by and say congrats. Simon Belmont and Richter both look amazing.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

I made a list with all the music asap !

I'm surprised Marble Garden isn't on this list

 

[Tino]

Dropping by to give a shout out to everyone here and say congrats on Simon confirmed. Both him and Richter look amazing.

 

[nuclearneo577]

I made a list with all the music asap !

At first I was disappointed that Reincarnated Soul didn't make it and still sort of am, but then I saw that Awake, Cross Your Heart and Iron Blue Intention did. This game's soundtrack just got much better.

 

[Teeb147]

Size. Simon is considerably bigger.

It looks to me like Richter falls into the small but faster style echo.

Echos don't have different hitboxes on them, and they have the same speed. The animations do make them look a bit different though. Richter 'looks' faster because of some animations.

 

[Noso]

Well im glad you ask. Simon Belmont is the protagonist of the game Castlevania, released in September 26, 1886 for the Famicom Disk System, and later released on 1987 for the NES.

lol

 

[Dhragen]

I am sad that Heart of Fire didn't make it, but seeing Simon's Theme, Bloodlines, Slash, Castle Dracula and more, it is not much of a lose i think,

 

[GalacticPetey]

The amount of Castelvania love on disaply here is astounding. Simon and Richter look amazing, and Dracula's Castle is just sooooo good. Plus a lot of music.

What an incredible morning to have a direct.

 

[Garo]

There were so many amazing moments in Simon's trailer:

-All the bosses as stage hazards. What?!
-Richter as an Echo. What?!!
-34 music tracks. WHAAAAAAAT???!!!

We had to wait a while, but this series made its Smash debut with a bang unlike any other.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I'll admit, I'm very conflicted on having Richter as more than an alternate costume

But Simon looks so freaking good I'll forgive it.

 

[Siggy88]

A congratulations of the highest degree is in order. All NES all stars are now here!

NOW WE ARE TRULY PLAYING WITH POWER. ULTIMATE POWER!

 

[Arcadenik]

This looks like his Super Castlevania IV outfit.

 

[dangeraaron10]

Congrats Castlevania fans!

Especially @Tord the Red Leader he's been following Vergeben like a hawk, hoping is most wanted got in, with his favorite look. And you got your wish, plus much more (and K. Rool!)

Blessed Direct.

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Honestly, I am glad they made Simon Belmont look like a manly man. Nothing wrong with bishonen, but I am glad they went for this.
