  • Of all the Belmont's in the world, Richter is the strongest His overwhelming determination turned Dracula and his forces their heads. He's iconic by just the standards of Rondo of Blood on its own, but origin and story is just cool also!

    What are the Belmonts views on killing Lord Dracula:
    Simon: "Although Dracula is objectively evil, you must still respect him in a fight, as he was once a human, and is still a great warrior and scientist"
    Richter: *"Show the finger and hydrostorm the fucker"*

      My friend and I actually the day Bloody Tears leaked before the Direct were talking about wanting a Richter recolor thinking they wouldn’t add Richter due to the rumors saying how they had no clue which other Belmont they wanted to represent. Sure enough, I watched and my jaw literally dropped and you bet I woke my friend up going crazy almost immediately LMAO. But yeah, most people only know Richter nowadays because of Smash, or because of the good percentage of the Netflix series fans who flooded just about any Castlevania thread on the internet were told to start with or play SOTN because of Alucard when asking “WHERE DO I START??????” every other post (I love SOTN to death, just more or less poking fun at the Netflix normies who pretty much took over any and all platforms meant for the games). Either way despite all of that, I’m glad he has some form of recognition in the US no matter what

    @Pensive_Scarlet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +162

    Just a quick bit of context that might clear something up for you. You might remember, Dracula reveals that he's less interested in a bride and more interested in turning the eternal feud with the Belmonts into a game this time. So, that map Richter has might actually be something that was dropped off by minions infiltrating the village as a part of setting up the ambush. If you count the remake's retelling as the completed version of the story, then you can also conclude that a key part of the ambush was to herd Annette along through the path out of the village so Richter would witness her kidnapping.
    You know, if you have time and room in your plans, you could probably do a whole Dracula X compendium feature by Halloween. Your attentiveness and presentation could really do it all justice. I'd be interested in your take on Dracula XX, as you seem to have a knack for looking into things most people overlook.

    Richter Belmont is one of my favorite characters of all time period. He has everything I like in a character. Bad assry coupled with a design to go with it (and I like all of his designs with his Dracula X chronicles version being my personal favorite) ALSO backed by his theme which is the type of theme I’d expect for a “righteous hero here to bring justice upon evil” (minor tidbit my favorite color is blue and his coat color being blue meant I took an affinity to him right off the bat) He’s the most fun Belmont to play as well due to all the acrobatic stuff he can do alongside his dashing whip attack. Another aspect I like is despite his strengths he was shown to have weakness just as anybody else and to me that did strengthen his character since while he achieved many things in his lifetime he had moments where he fell from grace (even if his clan had to suffer majorly for it before being redeemed by the Morris Clan) and I really thought that brought out a very human aspect to him.
    I remember the day fondly where I saw him being announced as playable for SSBU and I went ballistic and mained him since day one. He’s currently my highest rating character in Elite Smash and I even preordered and bought his amiibo. Also before anyone says it no I am not a spammer, only scrubs spam projectiles as Belmont’s as I tend to be more aggressive with the whip than with the projectiles. Only times I spam is when it’s absolutely warranted (like facing another camper). Otherwise I use the projectiles more as to condition my opponent and for set ups.
    All in all Richter Belmont is a character I absolutely adore and he’s the main reason I love Castlevania as a series as a whole. While the series isn’t short of characters who are potentially more cooler and had better achievements than him (like Alucard) he’ll always remain the best and most unique in my eyes.

    Small correction: Defeating the Whip's Memory is not a proof of the worthy, it's just a test necessary to open the whip's true power. The reason it was sealed was actually to prevent a non-Belmont from overusing it and dying. The only way to achieve the whip's true power is through a ritual between the wielder and the Lecarde family, also trusted by the Belmonts. John had the whip unlocked and overused it, while Jonathan didn't, so the whip didn't have time to kill him.

      So true all because of the blood covenant that Leon entered into with the soul of Sara since she was bit by the vampire Walter and that she willingly went on with it. Mainly because she didn't want others to suffer her fate and wanted Leon to fulfill her final wish giving him the power he needed to defeat Walter. It was the only way to transform the whip into it's complete form. I can only imagine how Leon felt when the last part of the ritual was to strike her down. But before he did that he sweared to her that no more will suffer her fate. I felt sorry for him. Poor guy. He didn't deserve to go through that.

      @uandresbrito5685 Well, only those of Leon's direct bloodline can wield it without losing their life. Also, what Leon did to complete the whip as Rinaldo put it was one of the forbidden secrets from the book belonging to Mathia's family since Rinaldo knew Mathias longer than Leon. He told Leon that Mathia's family had a book of secret arts originally handed down orally, and the only person who truly seemed to understand alchemy was Mathias. He was dead on about that. Also Eric says in portrait of ruin that they found out the truth about the whip after Dracula was defeated after noticing John took so long to recover. Eric mentioned that they found out using magic, indicating that John didn't know about what the whip does to someone who is not of Leon's direct bloodline.

      Evy Evolution it was officially released by Konami as a sequel to SotN so I’d say it’s definitely canon. I think lots of people choose to ignore it which is a shame bc on a deeper inspection the writers were focusing on Alucard living among mortals, trying to find a semblance of life being immortal + his vampiric urges, etc. Castlevania meets Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles basically.

And I've always been sad that there's no playable SotN Sprite Richter, he's only playable in his RoB Sprite, they even use it in his battle with Alucard, but the one you see in the Colosseum never returns.

    His design is one of the best of the series.

    Richter having the ability to use the item crash and how his sub weapons being the strongest in the series.
    With all this power brings hubris and his want to kill Dracula would bring the end of the belmonts for years.

For me it makes him more interesing to see him try to make the best for his bloodline giving the V.killer to the Morris clan to prepare the further belmont to what was the Demon Castle War.
