Why does Richter completely mog all the other Belmonts and other protagonists?
This is the absolute high-energy peak of the series.

Nah, here's what actually happened, after Richter kills Shaft's monsters, then kills Shaft himself, then kills Shaft's ghost in the next level, Shaft somehow resurrects in the next game without any explanation, then casts mind control that bypasses all protections on Richter, then uses Richter to rebuild the castle instead of rebuilding it himself (this would make too much sense) and this is somehow Richter's fault, not the writers fault for writing something stupid.

Richter being the fall guy is downstream of some earlier choices
>Bloodlines came up with the idea of the Belmonts disappearing in the 19th century, as the result of fighting Dracula so often that their talent burned out (though an elderly Belmont does help out Eric Lecarde)
>the devs decide to make an Alucard game on the PS1, one idea is to set it circa Bloodlines and have him fight the last vampire-hunting Belmont

Just beat that game the other day, was a fucking ride. I was skeptical of the ghost NPCs and grim reaper statue shit at first but I came to appreciate how the game basically maximizes the use of all of its real estate. Has some survival horror DNA too, the adventure game-inspired failstates and whatnot. Really cool game.

Richter's greatest contribution to the battle against Dracula is his ghost getting mogged and creampied by some guy with absolutely no magical ability so that someone actually competent can use his family's special whip that he was too much of a cuck to do anything useful with.

Simon gets remembered because he was the first.
Trevor sometimes gets remembered because he was in CV3 (early on) and a direct ancestor to Simon.
Richter gets remembered because he starred in Rondo and the intro to Symphony of the Night, getting him a lot of attention.
Alucard gets remembered because he's all over the place and starred in Symphony.
Soma gets remembered because he is distinctly different and was in Aria.

Lorefags might remember Julius as the one who finally killed Dracula for good in 1999, but he doesn't stand out to most other people because he just gets mentioned in backstories in two games.

Everybody else kind of ends up forgettable as a Simon Belmont clone. Richter stands out as very much NOT being one of those. His blue coat and flashier movement lets him look very different. There's a reason that Smash Bros used Simon (classic Belmon) and Richter (newer Belmont) rather than anyone else. You could replace nearly every protagonist in most of the other games with Simon and most people wouldn't notice the difference.

The ones who do stand out, like Alucard and Soma, tend to be more memorable. Ironically, if more Belmonts stood out like Richter, then it would probably be a lot harder to remember much of anyone.

A family tree showed he had descendants and while it's from before SOTN was made, it does mean there's precedent for him to continue the family.
