Richter Hero Matchups and Tips

Richter

B Tier

Richter excels at controlling space with his powerful projectiles and zoning tools, particularly through the use of his Neutral Special, Axe, and Side Special, Cross, which can effectively trap opponents at the ledge. His Forward Tilt serves as a reliable spacing tool, while his Down Special, Holy Water, can set up devastating combos, especially when followed by his Up Special, Uppercut, after a Down Air. However, Richter struggles against fast, aggressive characters that can close the gap quickly and overwhelm him before he can establish his range; keeping opponents at bay while avoiding being gimped is crucial. To mitigate these weaknesses, focus on creating barriers with Holy Water and utilizing your tilts for recovery options, ensuring you maintain control of the stage.

Tips for Richter

  • I swear to god if you use one more special move
  • Forward tilt is a good spacing tool
  • Make sure to rip out every button out of your controller besides the B button. You don't need them.
  • Remember that Richter's tilt attacks often work better as a recovery than up-b, but be careful of gimping or spiking; this can be somewhat alleviated if you can pull of a neutral-b to cover the edge.
  • Use his special moves for ledge trap
