Reminder that this literal who became a third-party Echo before Shadow the Hedgehog, a character people actually wanted in Smash for years
>b-but Ritcher is cool, you're just a zoomer! I love Castlevania and Rondo is one of my favorites, but no way in hell does Ritcher deserve to be in Smash over a Sonic character, a franchise that has been a part of Smash since Brawl. It's baffeling how we still only has one rep.
I understand Ken since he's actually popular with casuals and is the first clone in fighting games but Ritcher? Fuck off, even Protoman is a better choice than him.
Sonic was in THREE Smash games and he had two stages.

I like that they made Richter playable too instead of just giving his moves to Simon. They might be 99.9% identical but I'm still happy Castlevania got 2 reps instead of just 1.
Jose Morgan
Rhicter has been in more good games than Shadow has
Lincoln Torres
Shadow embodies the worst of the Sonic franchise
Ethan Sanders
pretty much this
Adam King
No, Silver does And Japanese fans loved Silver for some fucking reason
Carter Roberts
Shadow is gay and Metal Sonic should be the echo if we really need one.
Andrew White
Dracula X is the other best Castlevania though
Jeremiah Smith
Shadow gave birth to all the edgy fan fiction and probably all of the degeneracy as well
Liam James
No, it wasn't shadow. There was definitely degeneracy before then. It was probably the comics that kicked it off
Christopher Morris
They were making Simon and realized that half his moves were lifted from SoTN Richter's moves. At that point it'd be a scam not to put him in
Dylan Bennett
Falseflagging Metalfag trying to wedge a hatred between Echobros and Assistbros
Noah Morris
>could have done something cool with him >he’s literally just a Simon reskin with nothing different about any of his moves
Echoes are a fucking waste
Luke Nguyen
Even fucking dumber, there's clone-like characters that aren't marked as Echo while some Echo's are meant to have differences.
>Be me >Boomer >Shadow comes out >EVERYBODY MOCKS IT >HAHA LE BLACK ANGRY NIGGER HEDGEHOG WITH GUNS >time passes like a river >Zoomer demands his sweetie Shadow in his punchie punch game.
You faggots should have been aborted.
Adam Bailey
Richter isn't a literal who, he's the most popular Belmont in Japan.
Austin Walker
You do know that Shadow first appearaed in SA2 right? He didn't get his own game until some years later
Easton Wood
Castlevania is good and sonic was never good.
Easton Nelson
Shadow The Hedgehog is still a shit game and a laughable concept, but that most certainly doesn't prevent people from growing to like the character over time. It sounds like you're really bitter about some dumb shit.
Ethan Martinez
Isaacfag here OP. Do yourself a favor and let go. There are guaranteed to be far more important things to do than caring about Smash rosters this late after the game came out.
Iktf bro. I wanted Isaac so bad. Fuck. He would've been awesome to play as
Levi Morris
This and he was in SOTN of all things.
Owen Murphy
holy shit, who the fuck cares
Christian Bennett
I'd rather have Tails than Shadow. There's likely more reasoning at work than pure popularity and moveset potential. For all we know, Sega could be the hold up, since they might have a say in how a character is presented. All of Sonic's alts are just different shades of blue.
Aaron Rogers
you cannot be serious wanting fucking SHADOW over a Belmont, let a fucking lone Richter. Shadow? Get the fuck out of here with that you Chris Chan level autist
Richter makes perfect sense as an echo. He's a fan-favourite among CV fans and stars in two of the most beloved games in the series from both genres. He has a wider variety of moves that can help flesh out his and Simon's moveset whilst keeping the whip and subweapons as a primary focus. All the while being a low-effort echo. He's the best choice to represent Castlevania alongside the granddaddy of the series Simon. Lack of Shadow is still weird though, even if I may not be a big fan. He even had new animations for his AT and was only revealed at the very last second. Even the Grinch Leal had him since everyone was expecting alongside Ken
Jack Young
Fuck off falseflagger
Camden James
Shame they didn't add a SOTN costume. Juste would have been cool
Adrian Evans
Imagine unironically giving a shit about the roster in a kids party game.
Eli Stewart
And he died in said game as well. He was only brought back because the most autistic minority of the Sonic fanbase thought this obvious Vegeta knockoff (who was ironically hated by his own creator before the rabid DBZ fanbase demanded he be brought back) deserved to be a reoccurring character and completely destroy the weight of his sacrifice.
Ayden Hall
Why is there an outcry for sonic lacking a second rep but not Pacman?
Nathan Phillips
You think he’s a literal who because you’re not Japanese. Rondo of Blood is arguably the most beloved game in Japan, he’s certainly more liked than Simon.
Chase Morris
I love Rondo so much, I've finished it at least five or six times.
Connor Reyes
Nobody gives a shit about the Pacman characters besides him and the ghosts.
Michael Scott
>Rondo >most beloved Maybe, but Maria has a lot to do with that. She should have been part of Richter’s kit.
Richter's fine but his differences are a complete waste. He should've had as many differences as Ken.
Christopher Thompson
Fucking diaperfurs with their mentally deficient bullshit, they're now claiming that shadow is more worthy than Richter fucking Belmont. Do the world a favour and collectively kill yourselves.
Joshua Price
You're baffling, you fat fuck.
Hudson Powell
The issue is Simon has no moves outside of subweapons. They could've made up some moves, or they could just make a Richter character and pretend Simon came first.
Jaxson Butler
Imagine being this entitled, grow up faggot.
Juan Morales
Ecco the dolphin should be the next Sega rep, not soidow
Julian Flores
Or nights
Julian Garcia
If the Smash Bros roster was chosen by Miyamoto, nights probably wouldve been in smash bros already.
Sebastian Perez
>short hair Richter instead of glorious locks Richter >blonde barbarian Simon instead of red hair pretty boy Simon
What the fuck were they thinking? Only way they could have fucked up harder is if they used the Death Note designs
Alexander Green
Even as a Sonicfag I'd take Ritcher ten times over Edgehog because Richter is a likable character and doesn't have an obnoxious fucking fanbase. Hell if I were Sakurai I would have cut Simon out and put in Richter and Trevor or Alucard instead.
If we had to get ANY new Sonic rep Eggman is the only good choice.
Almost no one even wants Sonic the Hedgehog period. The last thing anyone who isn't a complete autist wants is another Sonic character. They're literal Who Fucking Cares. They're the opposite side of the coin to Fire Emblem characters; Characters that play and look mostly the same but little faggots keep complaining that in a series with shit tons of generic 90's anime swordsman, that their specific faggot isn't featured.
