Weapons: Anti-Vampire Armaments vs Gangsta Bustas

The Vampire Killer is a powerful dedicated weapon used against its namesake and it can at least break apart stone walls. Powerful as it is, the rest of his weapons are quite feeble in comparison. In comparison to what, you ask? Joseph brings a freaking Tommy Gun and a bloody grenade that may have much less 'ammo' than Richter's weapons, but they're far more devastating than all of the Vampire Hunter's arsenal. The clackers are nothing much compared to the Vampire Killer since it's not truly a specialized weapon like it, but Richter has no chance in expecting what the hell that broomstick JoJo is bringing in may do. Plus, that grenade is more destructive than a bunch of crosses thrown up at him like boomerangs. Richter's weapons are, okay, I guess, but they don't have as much power as JoJo's. Edge goes to Joseph Joestar.

Powers: Nightwalker-Repelling Powers vs Hamon

Let's start from the physical department first. Without the Hamon, Richter Belmont wins the edge with quite some ease due to how the Vampire Hunter is already superhuman to begin with while JoJo only begins to match his strength when Hamon comes into play. Knowing that he can't always use Hamon in every manner of situations, Richter has the advantage of consistently having superhuman physicality.

How about the Item Crashes and Hamon themselves? In this case, I'm giving the edge to Richter Belmont once again. Despite how strong Hamon attacks are, they are all too oriented on melee combat. Richter's Item Crashes are boring, but they are a practical counter against JoJo's melee-centered attacks, even with the presence of his clackers which are nothing to a flaming Vampire Killer. Hamon is powerful against undead cretins, but JoJo's facing a living guy here, just like Gouken (sorry) in my previous battle, which means it's not gonna be as effective as the usual anti-zombie/vampire stuffs JoJo faces.

Richter wins this category overall, thanks to his greater physicality and his Item Crashes' greater range. Combined, Richter is generally more versatile in combat than JoJo... discounting the latter's use of the Tommy Gun.
