Plus it's all about Julius, not Richter. :P :P :PThe most powerful of the Belmonts? Of course it was Julius. Of course.
This almost sounds like it should go on "Classic Castlevania Threads" as it reminds me of my hypothetical scenarios with my friends when I was a kid.Ah, those. Of course, you'd pick the opposite just for the sake of annoying your partner -- so that it'd always became something of a "me" vs "you" fight. Good times, good times...
You know the type 'who would win in a fight? X vs. Y?"
It is most definitely possible to compare characters from two different stories. It is what we call a crossover. I'm sure you've heard of it.A Castlevania-Castlevania crossover? Ah yes, sounds good to me! ;D
Richter.Oh.....did you forget that in MoF, Trevor lost to Gabula and ended up get mortally wounded when his was stabbed with his own combat cross at the end of the fight? When Gabula saw that Trevor was his son by looking at the mirror, he gave the dying Trevor some of his blood which eventually turned him in to the LoS universes Alucard (who we here on the forums call Trevorcard). Gabula is just too powerful.
No matter the odds, the Belmont always wins against the Dracula, even if that Dracula is a Belmont.
Richter also has Vampire killer, which, just like the LoS one, is VERY effective against Dracula.

Richter won?
-Yes (go to 3)
-No (go to 2)
2-(click to show/hide)
3-(click to show/hide)
and Julius beats him in raw power.I think we can all agree that Julius would beat Gabula any day. This is the guy that when asked how he beats regenerating enemies that require sealing away to defeat,he said he doesn't know, he just beats them until they stop regenerating . let me reiterate: this is the guy who can kill red skeletons.

Just imagine how powerful he was in his prime. By the way, he didn't beat them until they they stopped regenerating. He beat them before they had a chance to heal meaning that he was able to deliver enough damage fast enough that the monitors couldn't recover. Or, at least that is how I've always understood it.
If you want to use Richter in a crossover, you use RoB as a reference and not SotN.
Juste can Item Crash around Richter
They pretty much did face off in rondo and richter wins.Exactly. Technically, Richter has already fought Gabriel (who, after all, is Dracula), and defeated him.
Exactly. Technically, Richter has already fought Gabriel (who, after all, is Dracula), and defeated him.LoS is a reboot which is by definition a blank slate. It is a completely separate universe.
In a way, it's yet another reason why the LoS and canon timelines shouldn't quite be mixed...
Although, there aren't any specific plot devices in the LoS saga that suggest that Richter hadn't met Gabriel as Dracula. Even if the LoS continuity contradicts the plot of many older CV games, I've always considered that the lore LoS left untouched (such as Richter's confrontation) would remain valid in both timelines. Unless LoS was meant to be an entirely blank slate?
LoS is a reboot which is by definition a blank slate. It is a completely separate universe.Right, then. In any case, it serves my point well.
@Flame
That's a very good point. The Vampire Killer would likely be extremely effective against Gabe after the vampire transformation. I can't believe I didn't think to factor that in.
It is a Weapon of Alchemy. While it is used for all-purpose enemies, it has a stake especially designed for Vampires. Gabriel took many hits but the stake to the heart "killed" him.The Combat Crosses in LoS don't have anything to do with Alchemy. And there's nothing to suggest that they had any supernatural properties; they were simply a series of particularly effective and well-crafted weapons. In LoS, Gabriel's weapon was named "Vampire Killer" only because of its bloody reputation -- not because of any inherent power against darker creatures.
The Combat Crosses in LoS don't have anything to do with Alchemy.Considering it was also made by Rinaldo, the LoS incarnation, can you be sure of that?

In LoS, Gabriel's weapon was named "Vampire Killer" only because of its bloody reputation -- not because of any inherent power against darker creatures.Actually, it's called Vampire Killer because of the stake attachment
So, in theory, Gabriel's CC and Richter's VK should be two very different weapons.Classic Canon Vampire Killer would definitely be stronger, since it was specifically made to kill vampires, through the sacrifice of Sara's soul.
Gabriel/Dracula has a beard. He wins. Except against Julius.
But Hammer have a beard too and isnt that strong.

This. If I read Shiroi's Ricordanza of the God's Abyss translation right, he fricking pulled the head off an Axe Knight.
You haven't seen him in action, did you? How he survived all alone in the entrance of the castle, without getting killed by monsters?
He could have be given special strength enhancing drugs when he was in the army. You know so the soldiers can endure a lot more and perform at a higher level. Or, perhaps his strength is an inherited trait like the Belmont's "holy" power.
Or maybe he have this ring that makes you stronger depending of how many cash you have. That would explain a lot of things xDMaybe he has a couple Rings of Varda. I mean in SotN one made you pretty powerful. Two made you overpowered.

Love that ring. I always get two of them. 8)Who doesn't!?
