After decades of fan requests, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate finally added Castlevania’s Simon and Richter Belmot to the roster, but what if it was the son of Dracula who ended up getting that slot?
That’s what C# is currently attempting to achieve by modding Alucard as a playable fighter into Smash Ultimate and recently revealed his impressively cool looking move set planned for release.
Just like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alucard gets his bat wing double jump and famous back dash as his backwards roll animation, and that’s not even delving into the character’s actual kit.
Crissaegrim Slash, Blue Knuckle, Hellfire and more of his SotN attacks have been incorporated into Alucard’s Smash moves though he did still have to borrow a few sword attacks from other characters on the roster.
One of the cooler abilities of the vampire is changing the magic effect on his forward Smash depending on the angle used with the elemental brand swords, and Alucard’s up Smash uses his trusty summoned sword Familiar.
Unfortunately, C# says the Alucard mod is still an early work in progress, but he’s looking pretty darn good so far from the footage shown, which you can check out below.
