From the good ol’ times of black and white portable screens, Christopher was the most well-known Belmont due to his own sub-series of games. Christopher has had to face Dracula’s cruelty in many ways, including having to fight his own son after he got possessed by the Count. Now he’s back with a vengeance and ready to lash out!

Profile

  • Name: Christopher Belmont
  • Notable appearances: Castlevania: The Adventure, Belmont’s Revenge, The Adventure ReBirth.
  • Design: Based on his classic design.
  • Voice Actor: Doug Stone
  • Theme: Battle of the Holy – Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth

Moveset

Christopher is a clone of Trevor. Pretty much all of their moves remain the same, but Christopher’s movement speed is slower than Trevor’s, as a callback to the GB Castlevania games’ infamously slow speed. To compensate for this, his basic whip attacks have an enhanced range and he can shoot a fireball out of the whip’s tip for some attacks, referencing the Fireball Whip.

Like Trevor, he cannot twirl his whip.

Special Moves

Blade Serpent: (Reverse quarter-circle + P) Summons a barrage of knives that travel a short distance in front of Christopher. The button input changes the angle. The EX version lasts longer and has better reach. Christopher can use Daggers in ReBirth.

Destruction: (Half-circle + P) Trevor leaps forward and smashes his axe against the ground. The input regulates the distance and strength of the attack. The EX version adds large spires at the end of the attack, expanding its range (Pictured).

File:BR Holy Water.gif
Holy Water: (Quarter-circle + K) Christopher lobs a bottle of Holy Water at the ground. Poor reach, but unlike Simon’s, Christopher’s version acts more as a bilateral spacing tool that encompasses both flanks with fire. The input changes how long it lasts. The EX version expands for a few seconds.


Flaming Fist: (Reverse half-circle + K) Christopher charges forward with his fists on fire and delivers an uppercut that launches the enemy skyward. The input regulates the speed and power. All versions have super armor. The EX version turns super armor into invincibility frames.


Whip Toss: (Quarter-circle + PK) Christopher swings his whip at the enemy to grab them before slamming them behind him. No difference in inputs. The EX version adds an additional slam for more damage.


Execution Attack – Final Rush: Christopher charges forward and delivers a barrage of fast kicks before comboing it into a Grand Cross, which summons several small crosses that suck the enemy in for a multi-hitting attack.
