Ultimate'' as a third-party character. He appears alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Simon Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Bayonetta]], and [[Joker]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]], [[Ryu]], and [[Ken Masters]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]] and [[Hero]], Microsoft's [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], and SNK's [[Terry Bogard]]. He and Simon were confirmed to be in the game via a Nintendo Direct that took place on August 8th, 2018. Richter is voiced in English by {{wp|David Vincent (actor)|David Vincent}}, reprising his role from previous ''Castlevania'' titles, including ''{{wp|Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin|Portrait of Ruin}}'', ''{{wp|Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|Harmony of Despair}}'', and ''The Dracula X Chronicles''<ref>[https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 Tweet by David Vincent]</ref>; and in Japanese by {{wp|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}, his voice actor in ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night}}''. | ||
Richter is classified as an Echo Fighter of Simon, with his moveset and animations being based directly on Simon's (although the two actually take inspiration from each other), making him the first third-party Echo Fighter and the only one of a newcomer instead of a veteran fighter. Richter's special attacks are Axe, an ax that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a multi-hitting projectile, with a blue flame that does aura damage instead of an orange burning one that does flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as his recovery move. Richter's Final Smash, Grand Cross, is functionally identical to Simon's identically-named Final Smash. | Richter is classified as an Echo Fighter of Simon, with his moveset and animations being based directly on Simon's (although the two actually take inspiration from each other), making him the first third-party Echo Fighter and the only one of a newcomer instead of a veteran fighter.

In an interview with ''Nintendo Dream'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed that during the development of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Decidueye was almost chosen as the new Pokémon fighter, but Incineroar was chosen instead, with Sakurai stating that he wanted to include a professional wrestler character.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124581867958273 PushDustIn on Twitter: "Sakurai confirms in an interview: Decidueye was almost chosen for the new Pokémon spot"]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/1062726902341746691 Source Gaming on Twitter: "Sakurai wanted to pick a newcomer to represent content from a newer game.

Incineroar is a super heavyweight fighter (being heavier than [[Kazuya Mishima|Kazuya]] but lighter than [[Ganondorf]], while having the same weight as [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]]) with highly powerful attacks, yet very sluggish mobility to boot. In fact, Incineroar is notorious for having the slowest walking and dashing speeds in the game. Like [[ | Incineroar is a super heavyweight fighter (being heavier than [[Kazuya Mishima|Kazuya]] but lighter than [[Ganondorf]], while having the same weight as [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]]) with highly powerful attacks, yet very sluggish mobility to boot. In fact, Incineroar is notorious for having the slowest walking and dashing speeds in the game. Like [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], Charizard, and [[Inkling]], Incineroar receives minor damage while swimming, seemingly as a reference to its weakness to Water-type Pokémon in the ''Pokémon'' series. Fittingly, the overwhelming majority of Incineroar's attacks consist of professional wrestling moves, extending to its special moves. | ||
Incineroar's neutral special move is Darkest Lariat, which involves it performing a series of discus lariats that can block projectiles. Its side special is Alolan Whip, in which it lunges at an opponent in order to Irish whip them into wrestling ring ropes and, depending on when the special button is pressed, subsequently perform a lariat, a back body drop, or collide with the opponent. Incineroar's up special is Cross Chop, which has it leap vertically into the air and descend diagonally to perform a cross chop that causes a small explosion upon hitting a surface. Lastly, its down special is Revenge, a type of counterattack that makes Incineroar receive minor damage in exchange for retaliating with a small burst of flame and making its next attack much stronger. | Incineroar's neutral special move is Darkest Lariat, which involves it performing a series of discus lariats that can block projectiles.

Joker appears as two DLC fighter [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]], depicting him in his Phantom Thief outfit and his Shujin Academy uniform, respectively. The former spirit is obtained by completing Classic Mode as Joker, while the latter can be purchased from the shop if Challenger Pack 1 has been downloaded. Being the leader of the group, Joker also appears in the artwork for the Phantom Thieves of Hearts spirit (which is also DLC), as well as in the associated spirit battle. | Joker appears as two DLC fighter [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.
