Round 1 Richter Belmont vs. Captain Falcon

Moltars Analysis

Well, Simon managed to beat Ryu H a few days ago, so now this means Richter might follow suit?

Nah, I dont think so. The main benefit that Richter would get (aka Smash announcement) is nullified by facing Falcon, one of the faces of weak Nintendo characters boosted by Smash. Therefore, Richter has to pull straight from the Castlevania fanbase, and thats not going to be much when facing straight up Nintendo.

Moltars Bracket: Falcon

Moltars Prediction: Falcon 66%

transiences Analysis

Sorry, Richter, but you're not really in that Simon trailer. Meanwhile, Falcon has been smashing it up for 19 years. Richter might be third in the Belmont tier list behind Simon and Trevor? He's not truly playable in most of the notable CV games, at least according to this website.

I'm not really sure how to handicap this one but it's hard to see Falcon being at all threatened unless the fanbase decides that Richter is the new smash hotness and Falcon's old news. Yeah, no.

transience's prediction: Falcon with 64.54%

Leonharts Analysis

If Richter wanted to take advantage of his newfound Smash Bros. fame, he drew a bad opponent for it. Captain Falcon is about as strong as a character can be powered only by Smash Bros. and memes, which negates both of Richters power sources. If nothing else, the board should be fun with people posting memes all day long, but the match itself probably wont be particularly exciting.

Leonharts Vote: Captain Falcon

Leonharts Prediction: Captain Falcon with 60.06%

Kleenexs Analysis

Simon finally won a match! Can Richter follow in his footsteps? Short answer is no. For one, Simon is almost assuredly stronger than Richter, and second, Falcon is definitely stronger than Hayabusa. I am surprised at Richter being an 8th seed - its amazing what a Smash appearance can do for you.

Kleenexs Prediction: Captain Falcon with 62%
