Discussion about characters' popularity

[Bertha]

Rebecca is ridiculous? Like the others are not highly ridikulas too?

19 year old Uni student Claire Redfield puts to shame all the S.T.A.R.S. members combined with all their formal training. Chris punches giant rocks with his fists. Wesker looks like a fugitive from a pop 80's band (Frankie Goes To Hollywood, comes to mind). Leon wears a hair style that no one HIS AGE should wear. Billy Coens tattoo hails incest "mother love" (I know, its a homage to a Queen's song but still... the tattoo is crazy looking).
.

I've said it numerous times....Chris punching a rock is highly more realistic than him, Sheva, and Wesker dicking around inside a volcano where the heat and toxic fumes would have killed them (let's not forget they just survived a jet crash too). And let's not forget Jill defying gravity by jumping 10+ feet into the air or standing on the facings of pillars. The punching of the rock is a game mechanic that has nothing to do with the personality of the character.

I'm not saying these aren't valid points, but game mechanics have nothing to do with the actual characters. Pretty much all of the characters do things that are video game magic. Claire outruns helicopters, Rebecca survives train crashes, Jill surives taking a tentacle to the chest...if you truly broke apart all these things, you'd find a very long list of unbelievable feats.

Chris = Defeated Wesker, Alexia, TALOS, Tyrant, destroyed Umbrella and Tricell.
Jill = Defeated Nemesis, TALOS, Tyrant, OWNED Chris and Sheva, destroyed Umbrella and Tricell.

How, pray tell, did Jill own Chris and Sheva? She had Wesker's help, and unless I'm completely making things up, Chris and Sheva are the ones to save Jill from the control device, after which Jill ALSO gets saved by Josh.

As for them destroying Umbrella....Wesker did his fair share of that himself by providing the courts incriminating evidence agaisnt Spencer after he got what he was looking for.

After the "7 minutes" gameplay, you see Jill owning Chris and Sheva without guns.
And Jill was just getting slower because of her device making her do stupid things like act like Spider-Man.

And Umbrella would fall with or without Wesker, as many survivors shown on Degeneration and the help of Yoko, Linda, Alyssa and, let's just say all the other victims of Raccoon City, they were already damned.

Chris = Defeated Wesker, Alexia, TALOS, Tyrant, destroyed Umbrella and Tricell.
Jill = Defeated Nemesis, TALOS, Tyrant, OWNED Chris and Sheva, destroyed Umbrella and Tricell.

Leon = Defeated Birkin, Marcus (the same as Birkin) and Saddler.
Claire = Just served as babysitter for Sherry and Rani.



End of the story.

Okay, first of, the way you say sounds like Chris and Jill destroyed Umbrella alone. They did not and could not have done that, ever. They also didn't kill the T-002 Tyrant alone, they had Rebecca, Barry and even Brad's help because the rocket launcher wasn't going to materialize itself there. Jill also had the help of P30 to be able to pull all that crazy shit she did against Chris and Sheva. And they didn't destroy TriCell, we don't even know what happened to it after RE5.

And Leon killed Marcus? What the hell, and what "the same as Birkin" means? Anyway, you are forgetting that he killed Mr. X, with Ada's help of course, and Curtis. As for Claire, while she didn't kill Birkin (Leon also didn't) she held her own against him and you seem to have forgotten that she killed the T-078 Tyrant.

[Smiley]

Yo, yo check it!

Capcom's got this whole thing figured out after Code Veronica.

Chris and Jill? The two best partners that anyone can have.

Leon? Secret....AGENT MAN! Secret....AGENT MAN!

Claire? Wait, she's still in this? I though she was babysitting tonight... ;>_>

Wesker: I'm eeeeeeeevil! So evil you never know whose side I'm on or what I'm really up to! Yes, that evil. Oh, and I wear my sunglasses at night.

That's all you need in these games now. Tie up the whole "going after Umbrella" crap and throw in some more lickers and parasites.

Oh Shit, I mixed up Marcus with Curtis. My bad XD
The same as Birkin means the same G-Monster.
Rebecca and Barry weren't even in that scene. Either they were fighting zombies on B1 or uncounscious. And a Rocket Launcher is no matter since Leon also used it against Saddler. And I didn't credited Mr.X and T-078 because I'm talking about final bosses.

Tricell ended, as their bio-weapons were shown to public. Just like what happened to Umbrella.

[Darkmoon]

One division of TriCell was implicated. It's quite possible TriCell itself will get away with it. Hell, it's possible that it was only Excella doing her naughty Bio-Weapon deeds in reality too. Not, you know, very likely, but possible.

I love Jill because she unlocks my heart.
I love Barry because he is hilarious.
I hate RE2 Leon because he's whiny, but I like RE4 Leon because hes a snarky a-hole.
I love wesker because he is cool and generally doesn't afraid of anything.
I love Carlos because of his akseent.
I hate Rebecca because she is inept, and because shes a Mary Sue in the novels.
I hate Billy because of his Tattoo.
I love Claire because shes a kick ass female protagonist that has awesome jackets and manages to be a genuinely good person.
I love Ada because she trolls Leon.
I like Chris, I don't really know why. Probably because of that certain flash game.

And that was EXACTLY my point. They're all ridiculous.

So bashing a RE character for being ridiculous is... ridiculous.

Oh...My...Sweet...Satan's Jesus! I know exactly which one you are talking about. One of my friends showed that to me a year ago and I just couldn't believe something like that was out there. I couldn't believe that someone liked Chris THAT much.

I found it more funny than anything..."OHHHHH...You'll never get away with this...OHHH OHHH!"

[Vogue_Dirge]

Ada Wong is the best character in the entire series.

Thread over. Case closed.

This. Endgame. Move along and create another thread.

[Jill's Boob]

Chris Redfield. He's a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. Plus, he fought the T-1000 way back in '91.

RE was my first RE game, and I - being a guy - naturally wanted to play as the male character. (To this day I still don't understand why a guy would want to play as a female character unless there is no choice, like in RE4 - zing!) Since then, I've always been partial to the masculinity (no homo) of Chris, even when he looked like a Korean pop star in the RECV cut scenes.

Body check, one, two! And another! Eat it! This thread is finished!

Play as female characters is simple: WE DON'T LIKE MEN.

Ah yes, naturally. Why did I choose any of those male protagonists over the female protagonists when given the option?!

Oh boy, you got me there! Sorry, Mom & Dad!

REAL MEN say: Look at the way she shakes those pixels! Ooh, Jill...you so sex-AY!
