Smash Journeyman
So in Super Castlevania IV, the game that Smash Simon is most based off of, Simon is able to whip in eight different directions from the air. I don't think this was featured in the trailer, but it would be extremely character appropriate for Simon to be able to aim his whip for aerials in those directions, essentially giving you nine aerials counting neutral air.
Given that they even adapted the goofy limp whip flopping around you could do in that game, I don't think it's that far fetched that he could break aerial conventions and have those eight directions as that would be his best adaptation.
