Richter vs Palutena

When playing Richter against Palutena, focus on using your tilt attacks to bypass her Reflect Barrier, as her aerials can be punishing if you get too close. Position yourself at mid-range to create opportunities for your Holy Water and cross, while avoiding her Explosive Flame by staying grounded and moving side to side. Be cautious of her neutral air, which can catch you off guard; instead, look for openings to punish her landings with your forward smash or down tilt. Maintaining control of the stage will limit her options and help you set up for edge-guarding scenarios where your whip can shine.
