 *Special Mode - resetting in Alucard mode whilst in mist or bat form will have odd effects on Richter's hitbox, allowing him to do bizarre clips and such. Not useful.
 *Momentum Retain - Richter maintains his momentum in the air as long as you do not press left or right. This can be further maintained by holding whip to make Richter brandish the whip.
-*Item crashes that cause Richter to point give him invincibility, and the long animations can be canceled by being pushed off by the environment in some way, such as the doors that close at the start of the Karasuman battle. The knife crash can be canceled at any time by jumping.

 When rising using the thrusting special attack you time your untransform to get as much height as possible, then do the sword's special attack (back > forward+attack), whereafter you mash wolf until you transform again.

 *Air Control - refers to whether you can move Richter around using left and right while in the air. Certain actions such as slide kick and backflip get rid of this, and it can only be restored by recovering from a falling animation, jumping, or whipping.

 *Dash - done by double tapping forward. Can be maintained into a jump, and after turning around. Use this if no other form of movement is available.
 *Slide - done by pressing down+jump. Is the fastest form of movement for Richter, and can be repeated very rapidly. Does small damage if an enemy touches Richter's foot - this usually does not kill enemies, so be careful. Slide can be canceled into any item crash. Is impossible to do on any surface that isn't completely flat, and will instantly be canceled if you run into a slanted surface or fall off an edge.

 When rising with Form of Mist you want to tap both the Mist and the Wolf transform-buttons at the same time, then you can rise without it costing any MP, which is also a glitch of some sort. Keep in mind that you want to wait for the wolf to actually rise as much as possible before you use Mist form again.

-When rising using the thrusting special attack you just mash the Wolf transform button and as use the special attack as you transform back into human form. You perform the special attack by pressing left or right then the opposite direction and attack.

-The requirements for this trick is to have Soul of Wolf and either Form of Mist or a weapon with the thrusting special attack. Why this trick work is that every time you transform into Wolf form, you gain a little bit of height and then Mist form or the thrusting special attack keeps you in the air long enough to transform back into Wolf form, to repeat the process of gaining height.
