Better late than never … but we had to take sometime to pay proper attention to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
During the Super Smash Bros Ultimate Direct, Simon Belmont was announced as a new fighter.
Castlevania is all in!
Simon comes to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with his enticing whip, crosses and holy water.
Especially his whip is important here, he has according to the direct the most far reaching melee attack.
It is not the only character from Castlevania to participate, Richter Bellmont will be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is an echo fighter of Simon, which means he has the same moveset as Simon, but he has his own animations and voiceacting.
Alucard also makes an appearance, he is a new assist trophy.

And it does not stop there. Castlevania gets his own stage, Dracula’s Castle, which is described as “the darkest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate stage”. Several monsters (werewolves, mummies etc.) can appear on this stage to make your life more difficult, even Dracula himself can appear.
The direct indicates that there are certain circumstances under which Dracula appears, although it is not exactly told what these are. In addition, there is a lot of music from Castlevania added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with 34 different tracks for Dracula’s Castle.
In 1 word; EPIC!
