The picture depicted a red Richter lookalike jumping over a broken staircase against a bright white full moon background, much like the opening stage of Symphony of the Night. However, instead of walking northwest up the staircase like in Symphony/Drac X, this particular screenshot showed the "Red Richter" jumping the stairs northeast. I really wish I still had the screenshot, as the younger Castlevania fan in me snipped it out for a Castlevania folder I had as a 13 year old. At either rate, the screenshot suggested that the red Richter antagonist was a playable character at some point; (perhaps early in the game, much like Symphony would end up doing.)
