Richter's Costume 1 and After-Match Pose
This is my third blog post ever and second Castlevania-themed blog. This is Richter Belmont in UMVC3 concept. If you don't know who Richter is, play "Castlevania: Rondo of Blood" or "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night". I want to thank TheGamerDudeGuy and Tails6000. Kudos to you, guys.
Name: Richter
Theme: Divine Bloodlines
VA: David Vincent(ENG) {} Kiyoyuki Yanada(JAP)
HP: 925,000
Bio: A descendant of the legendary clan of vampire hunters, Richter was called "the strongest Belmont of his time". Brandishing the famous Vampire Killer Whip as many of his ancestors, he pushed Dracula to the brink. Five years later he succumbed to the evil influence of dark priest Shaft, and his fate would be sealed, if Alucard didn’t save him. They have become allies and friends after that.
Richter wanted to destroy every servant of Dracula to get rid of the vampire’s evil presence until the next Belmont will rise in 1999, as he had learned. Suddenly he felt that something surrounds him. He fell unconscious and woke up in a strange place. He believed that he was brought here to do something that might help him find forgiveness for his misdeeds.
And Vampire Killer was brandished once again…
Gameplay: Richter resembles a mix of Ghost Rider and Arthur. He is powerful keep-away character that utilizes many projectiles and has nice combo potential. His ground speed is decent, but Richter possesses double jump and air-dash. His whip attacks allow him to control ground. Some of them can be cancelled into another whip moves.
Intro: Richter spins his whip and then goes into his battle stance.
