Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Because of his status as a CIA agent, he acquired some knowledge and training in martial arts, evidenced by his spinning kicks, flying kicks and precise strikes. Unfortunately, his prowess seems to be somewhat short, for his strikes are very slow and easy to dodge and counter. Despite this, Richardson is a proficient marksman, armed with dual pistols and a shotgun. While dual wielding his pistols, he can unleash a barrage of bullets in one direction that can seriously harm any unaware opponent. His shots can be very damaging unless constantly moving. From time to time, he will also pull out a shotgun and will try to blast Kiryu with several shots. This can be countered using a heat move, forcing him to go back to his pistols. He seems to fight in a very similar way to Kazuto Arase, having similar athletic moves while dual wielding guns.
