Simon Belmont's Contest History

Who is Simon Belmont?
Simon Belmont was not the first Belmont who had to kill Dracula, but he still was the main character in the first Castlevania on the NES. And after that we have seen many different games where he has to get trough Dracula's castle to defeat him. Simon's main weapon is his whip called "Vampire Killer" but he can also uses other items, such as Knives, Axes or a holy Cross. Nobody knows Simon's true Hair color, since it has been changed in almost every new game. But as a character, Simon isn't anything that special. He is just doing his duty as a member in the Belmont Family to make his great grandfather Christopher Belmont proud.

His only weakness, aside from the usual "vampires kicking his ass" stuff, is his inability to jump while on stairs. Damn those stairs!

Simon Belmont's Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 0-2

Summer 2002 Contest - East Division - 12 Seed
 * Eastern Round 1 --- Lost to (5) Crono, 14906 [23.22%] - 49283 [76.78%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [17.38%]

Though Castlevania fans are generally the very loyal type, 2002 was a year in which the fanbase proved that Alucard was their Castlevania character of choice for the contest field. This is actually unfortunate in Simon's case, because if you switch his and Alucard's bracket placement in 2002, Simon may have been the one to upset Tails and become the perennial Castlevania representative.

Alas, Simon was stuck facing Crono in his first-ever match, lost badly and hasn't made a contest since. Could Simon be what Alucard is now had he faced Tails? We may never know.

Summer 2007 Contest - Division 4 - Third Group
 * Division 4 Round 1 --- 4th place, 14836 [11.81%] - Crono, 60534 [48.18%] - Raiden, 25316 [20.15%] - Sam Fisher, 24944 [19.86%]

Why some people thought Simon Belmont had a shot to advance past the first round is beyond me. He didn't come anywhere close to placing, and I'll go ahead and answer the question posed by the above write-up: No, Tails would've owned him. This year's performance makes that clear.
