Simon Belmont is entering the Smash Bros. ring, Nintendo revealed during a livestreamed presentation about the series’ upcoming Nintendo Switch entry. The Castlevania hero is not only one of the first newcomers to be revealed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but also its first exclusive third-party character.

The Nintendo Direct opened with a clip showing off Luigi with his ghost-hunting vacuum in a haunted mansion (of course). But Luigi isn’t the most equipped fighter of ghosts, so Simon comes in at the last moment to help him out. The brawny fighter uses coffins, whips chains and throws his fists to take care of his enemies. He’s also got his own stage, the pitch-black Dracula’s Castle — a classic battleground for this Castlevania hero.
