Normal Attacks

Jab: Richie shoots money out of his favourite money gun, which does mediocre damage. It can be looped to just continue spewing money. When the attack is released, a gold bar gets shidded out the gun, serving as a good finisher, and a good stock taker.

Forward Tilt: A backhand using his ring hand. Serves good range, but has mediocre damage and knockback scaling. His hand is somewhat a sweetspot.

Dash Attack: Richard hops then slides outwards on his rear, extending one leg. His leg does more damage than his body, but the hitboxes get weaker over time. Despite not having good damage or knockback, it boasts little endlag as Richard gets up.

Up Tilt: Richard performs a stretch kick, kicking whoever's in front of him upwards. Not much of a good anti-air, as it hits mainly in front of him.

Down Tilt: [A low-hitting move aimed near the Fighter’s feet whilst they’re crouched. Often used to poke or pressure grounded opponents without being too open, with the bonus of being fast.]

Aerial Attacks

Neutral Air: [A fast attack that usually hits all around your Fighter while airborne. It’s useful for interrupting opponents or covering your approach, given how quick it is to come out.]

Forward Air: [An attack aimed forward while your Fighter is moving forwards midair. Usually good for extending combos or finishing enemies near the ledge, with similar use to Neutral Air.]

Back Air: [An attack aimed behind your Fighter while they’re moving backwards midair. Usually good for killing offstage opponents. Often the most strong Aerial, but might have poor frame data.]

Up Air: [An attack that hits above your Fighter midair. Ideal for juggling airborne opponents or finishing off enemies high above the stage, as well as just hitting above your Fighter airborne.]

Down Air: [A downward attack used while falling. These are usually used to launch opponents directly downwards, either onto the stage or to their deaths, but not all of the time.]

Strong Attacks

Side Strong: [A powerful, charged forward attack your Fighter does. Great for knocking out opponents when they’re at high damage, but leaves your Fighter vulnerable.]

Up Strong: [A powerful, charged attack that hits above your Fighter. Often used to catch aerial opponents or KO from below, and even attack enemies on platforms.]

Down Strong: [A heavy attack that usually hits on both sides of your Fighter. Useful when surrounded, but it usually boasts less kill power than Side or Up Strong.]

Grab Attacks

Grab: [A move that your Fighter does to grapple an opponent Fighter. This is used to throw opponents around or punish Blocking enemies, as Grabs break through Blocks.]

Pummel: [A quick, single, repeatable hit your Fighter can do while holding a grabbed Fighter.]

Forward Throw: [Throws the grabbed Fighter in front of yours.]

Back Throw: [Throws the grabbed Fighter behind yours. Great for KOs near the edge of the stage.]

Up Throw: [Throws the grabbed Fighter straight up. Can lead into combos or juggles.]

Down Throw: [Throws the grabbed Fighter downward, usually at the ground.]

Special Attacks

Side Special: [A unique move your Fighter does when the Special button and left or right is pressed. Usually is a movement option or sort of combo tool.]

Up Special: [A unique move your Fighter does when the Special button and up is pressed. It is almost always a move that aids A Fighters recovery to get back onstage and can reposition them.]
