Which characters' melee attacks do you prefer in RE5?

[LVL100 Merchant]

Chris:

Straight
Uppercut
Hook
Knee
Neck Break
Haymaker
Back Hand
Stomp

Sheva:

Roundhouse
Somersault
Kick
Knee
Throat Cut
Skull Crusher
Spinning Back Kick
Impale

Gonna have to go with Sheva here; her reliance on kicks and her knife is just awesome.

I haven't played the demo yet, probably won't til February 5th, but that Hurricanrana of Sheva's is sexy.

i'll have to say Chris, seen way too many kicks in Resi 4. Seeing someone punch the shit out of an enemy is a different sight .

on a side note : how exactly do you pull this off ? i mean like when an enemy grabs you and then you force it to let you go, chris always does the sort of "getting ready to punch" animation, but stops there, how do you pull off the complete move as in the gif above ? i've tried mashing the sticks hard ... but nope..

I don't think you can. It's weird too because when Chris recovers from being grabbed he winds up a bit as if he's going to punch. Anyway, I think they changed it in favor of something you perform just by stunning enemies.

It just hit me that Leon's RE4 melee spin-kick looks eerily similar to something that Sheva would do...

[Beef_jerky_yo]

Sheva. All of her knife-ing is great. Stab on the ground, neck stabbing... oh, it's just so happy.

I seem to recall pulling it off once or twice, but I have no idea how I did it. Have you tried pushing the melee button right as you shove the enemy off?

[BlackHeart]

I'm curious about that aswell, how do you get him to attack after pushing them back like in some of the clips we have been shown?

I like when SHeva knifes the Majinis on the ground....
But I can almost feel the pain when Chris punches the enemies, and then shake his hand like it hurt on him too.... I mean, that's the thing that blows people head off, not that kick Leon does on RE4.

[CODE_umb87]

Since thats from the first trailer back in 07, its more than likely it was scrapped from the final game.

Err, punches shouldn't blow people's heads off either. The only logical reason is that their heads happened to spontaneously combust, coincidentally, right after they just got kicked or punched in the head.

Sheva's, for sure
