Simon Belmont | Smash Ultimate | Guide & Combos

Simon Guide Introduction

Simon is an echo of his brother Richter, and his moveset is virtually identical. That being said, his main draw lays in his powerful B moves that can cover multiple angles while edge-guarding combined with his long-range whip that keeps swordsmen at bay.

Simon Combos

Richter's bread and butter combos rely mainly on his Holy Water (Down + B) and/or his Down Aerial to knock them up.

Finishers include any of his standard whip attacks or Up + B when they're higher up on the stage.

One crazy combo includes:

• Holy Water (Down + B)
• Jump + Cross (side + B)
• Down Aerial
• Down Aerial
• Up + B

See this video for an example

Other bread and butter combos include:

• Down Air + Neutral Air
• Holy Water + Forward Smash
• Down Air + Up B

Simon Tips

• Simon's side aerial whips can be angled either up, to the side, or downwards with aerial forward + A and back + A.
• This effectively gives you six different attacks with forward and back aerial, and gives you 9 total aerial options with A.
• Simon can grab the ledge with his side + A in the air, and the range is deceptively long. You can't be too close though.
• Forward Tilt and Holy Water are your bread and butter zoning tools with a few Axes and Crosses mixed in.
