Super Smash Bros. 6/Simon

Simon Belmont is the main protagonist of the Castlevania series and appears as a third-party newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 5.

Attributes
Simon Belmont is a pretty high jumper.... With his first jump. Due to the great height of the first jump, the second leap is pretty poor. Usually due to the fact that you can recover with one good jump.

He is pretty below average in attack power and defense, but is above average in speed. He could be described as a "middle-lightweight" character. He falls pretty quickly, so use that jump whilst you can!

Simon Belmont primarily uses his tools from the Castlevania games to attack, his whip, the Vampire Killer, being his favorite tool. He very rarely uses his arms or legs to attack, so this actually give Simon some of the best range in the game, only behind Mega Man.

One flaw that Simon has is that his forward and back throws leave him open for attack, and his physical attacks are weak. But Simon is one character in Smash Bros who is more deserving than Snake (SHOTS FIRED).

Moveset

 * Neutral Combo: Simon whips directly forward. Can be done in a rapid succession.
 * Side Tilt: Simon performs a roundhouse kick, which can be angled high or low.
 * Up Tilt: Simon whips diagonally upwards. This covers great range.
 * Down Tilt - Holy Water: Simon throws a vial of Holy Water against the ground. It's better damaging when it directly hits the opponent.
 * Dash Attack - Flaming Whip: Simon whips forward with his Flaming Whip while running.
 * Side Smash: Simon charges, then whips forward with the Thorn Whip.
 * Up Smash: Simon charges, then whips directly upwards with the Chain Whip.
 * Down Smash: Simon swipes his whip forward and behind him. The front hit pushes the opponent back, so the second hit will connect.
 * Neutral Aerial: Simon flails his whip around himin a full circle.
 * Forward Aerial: Simon does a sex kick forward.
 * Back Aerial: Simon backhands the opponent behind him.
 * Up Aerial: Simon whips his whip directly above him mid-air.
 * Down Aerial - Throwing Axe: Simon tosses a Throwing Axe downwards. It spikes, similar to Mega Man's Down Aerial (Hard Knuckle).
 * Grab: Simon grabs the opponent with his right hand.
 * Pummel: Simon punches the opponent in the stomach.
 * Forward Throw: Simon wraps the opponent in his whip, and hurls them forward with the whip.
 * Back Throw: Simon wraps the opponent in his whip, and hurls them backwards with the whip.
 * Up Throw: Simon uppercuts the opponent into the air.
 * Down Throw: Simon tosses the opponent onto the ground.
 * Neutral Special - Boomerang/Cross: Simon tosses a cross forward, that has a boomerang effect. This can be grabbed by other opponents, and can get stuck on the floors, ceilings, and walls.
 * Custom 1 - Giant Cross: The cross retains it's Boomerang properties, though it covers less range and does more damage. It is also bigger and slower.
 * Custom 2 - Nimble Cross: The cross is faster, but smaller, does less damage, and loses it's Boomerang properties.
 * Side Special - Dagger Toss: Simon tosses forward three Daggers, which does small damage.
 * Custom 1 - Electric Dagger: The Dagger moves slower, but when it hits, it has electric properties, and stuns the opponent.
 * Custom 2 - Silver Knife: This knife moves slower than the normal dagger, but it packs more of a punch.
 * Up Special - Whip Pull-Upper: Simon whips his whip upwards, and, if it hits a ledge, he will be pulled up to the ledge.
 * Custom 1 - Flaming Whip: The move still grapples onto ledges, but it does 3% damage upon colliding with the opponent.
 * Custom 2 - Diamond: Simon holds out the Diamond, which makes him dart upwards.
 * Down Special - Whip Wiggle: Simon will crouch, and will be flailing his whip around in a short range.
 * Custom 1 - Thorn Whip: It is essentially the same attack, though the damage is increased to 4%.
 * Custom 2 - Chain Whip: The whip flails faster, but the actual hits only do 1% damage.
 * Final Smash - Vampire Killer: Simon charges forward, and if he goes for about 1/3 of Final Destination’s distance before coming into contact with an opponent, the Final Smash does not work. However, if he does hit into an opponent, he stuns them, then he charges his whip as a Golden Cross glows on his back, then whips them into the air once and does a five-hit combo with the whip, then charges his whip a final time, then delivers a blow that sends the opponent flying into the air.

Simon Belmont
''The legendary vampire slayer of Transylvania. It is his job in the Belmont bloodline to slay the bane that is Count Dracula. With his whip the Vampire Killer in his hands, Simon sets off on his quest. The Vampire Killer is a great weapon for attacking from a distance in Smash Bros. It stings a little, but when it's a mace, it really hurts! Just be thankful Simon's not here to slay you.''
