Was Richter going to be ripped directly out of the Dracula X games without upgrading his abilities?
It seems so if this animation was included on the CD. When Richter was struck with a heavy attack in Rondo or Castlevania: Dracula X, he would be knocked back, tumbling in a ball of helplessness. Richter must have bulked up during those four years. (The individual frames were sent in by Hiro1112.) Combo Attack I’d call this another Street Fighter 2-type move. While ducking, Richter seems to be pulling off a sweeping kick. Or he could be generating some sort of fireball attack. From the complete animation, it looks at though he’s charging up a combo attack where he delivers a sliding kick and then follows it up with a shoulder charge. The frames themselves are never coherent, so it’s difficult to tell. At the least, it’s a lost part of the “spinkick” animation. (The individual frames were sent in by Hiro1112.) Climbing Symphony did away with stairway problems for good–staircases simply became part of the surface. However, a single frame of climbing animation was found on the CD. Maybe
