Capcom also had two villains named Albert with plans revolving around harnessing Ouroboros to destroy the world and become its god release just two years from one another.
It's nice that we got Yoshikagi Kira here lol It's sad Wesker didn't return for Infinite, more Resident Evil characters should have returned. I understand they couldn't get him until 3 because his powers weren't shown off until RE5. He was a awesome character here
The sheer tonal shift between Wesker talking about doing experiments on Rocket only for him to reply with "So... Is Raccoon City, like... full of raccoons?"
Wesker is such a good villain for MvC, especially with his RE5 incarnation's sense of overpowering menace, the idea that me might get mollywhopped by like, Viewtiful Joe or Tron Bonne is why I always love serious villains being in fighting games. He is a ton of fun to play in MvC3, too, but man I wish he could have been in a game with MvC2 Jill to have a proper Chris and Jill vs Wesker showdown
It'd honestly be really cool if any future hypothetical Capcom crossover fighters pluck a character from each main era of RE. Like Nemesis or MvC2 Jill for the original trilogy, Chris or Wesker for the action entries, and like, Jack Baker or Lady Dimitrescu for 7 & 8. Would be a really cool way to pay homage to the series as a whole.
Gotta do Chris next dude. The version they used in in UMVC3 is the better version, as it looks like he genetically cross-breaded his biceps with watermelons, vs. when they shaved off some of his muscles in RE6. Even one of his win quotes was something like "Look, I deal with superhuman monsters on a daily basis. I would have been crazy not to hit the gym and bulk up a bit." Anyways, rant over. Great job on the videos. Keep it up!
Wesker was always interesting to me for how simple he on the gameplay side, admittedly i did always want to learn him for his assist cause alot of characters i liked playing got better with his otg assist.
As a big Resident Evil fan. When Wesker was revealed for MvC3, I was really hyped up. I thought Chris was going to be the only RE rep for that game at the time, Having 4 Resi reps was nuts by the time Ultimate came
Appreciate the in depth translations! I initially thought about implementing the Japanese move names into the video (since I did it more or less for Nemesis' video), but decided against it for pacing reasons. That said, I do have Adon's Jaguar Kick in the SFIV bit; It's at the very beginning of the clip.
@@TheSeventhForceAh, my bad. But yeah, it feels jank for the Collide/Jaguar Dash bit. Legit Wesker already had a Jaguar Kick in his moveset, yet 8ing/Capcom just simply renamed his Knee Cannon into Jaguar Kick. Same issue with Tiger Uppercut, which in my personal fan moveset I renamed the special as Tiger Reverse, AKA Hakou Gyakuten (破甲逆転, Blasting Shell Reversal). Tiger Uppercut with Japanese name and all remains the same as his command normal launcher.
Hey man, been watching since your Hayato vid dropped, just wanted to say how cool it is to see you constantly growing in views and in overall production and editing skills or just growing in overall skills, keep it up man.
I WILL NOT BE HELD BACK BY INSECTS! Great video, definitely worth the wait. (Even though you purposely waiting until Friday to post it). One thing though, how come you didn't cover the RE stage in mvc3. Ive been waiting to hear your thoughts about it, and i feel like that was the perfect time to cover it.
There’s this pretty funny show on RU-vid called Wesker and Friends it’s about Wesker Chris Leon and Ethan Winters and they all hate each other and Chris is obsessed with his boulder
Definitely something I'd like to do, but that would also be a pretty huge project considering how much goes into those games (and there's some franchises included in those games I only have minimal knowledge of) Definitely a long term goal, though!
@@TheSeventhForce Makes sense,there's a lot of obscure references,and the English version changed some of them too. Either way,I'm excited for next video! :D
Wesker: Seven minutes is the only time I can spare to play with you. GLOBAL SATURATION! Time to die, Chris! Chrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!!!! One of my favorite characters and villains in any video games. Can you do Chris and Dante later on?
I was expecting a comic recommendation section in that video, but then I remembered that Wesker isn't a comic book villain... He just dresses, talks, and acts like one.
To bad we got Nemesis instead of Leon. It would've been cool to see the dialog Capcom would've come up with between Leon and Wesker and Jill w/Chris. It'd be even cooler to have them on your team. And i can imagine the character callouts would be funny Wesker: "Kennedy!" Leon: "Hey Matrix!" Or "Blondie!" And "OAP/Pensioner!" With the character dialog between the two as follows: Wesker: "You do realize what youre up against Kennedy?" Leon: "An egotistical/self proclaimed "God" thats really a genocidal maniac? Right?" Wesker: "Theres no time to play. You know to much Leon" Leon "I wont even need 7 minutes to kick your ass" Wesker: "A survivor of Raccoon City...I thought I had eliminated all of your kind" Leon: "Well you were wrong." End of match: Wesker interactions: "You put up a better fight than the BSAA..youd make a better test subject than Jill" "7 minutes? That was to generous" "I can see why you were selected to be an Agent. Youd be better with me" "I do not have any more time to play. You can perish now." "Where'd you learn to fight? Deadpool? Hes sloppy and arrogant." Leon: "So much for that 7 minutes" "Im taking you in. The DSO and BSAA have some unfinished buisness. Especially a guy that can punch boulders I hear." "Ive fought a guy whose right hand could come off and even he was better than this. This barley counts as a warm up" "Did you really have to steal Spiderman's move from him? Wade was right, definitely unoriginal. I expected better from someone who proclaimed to be a God." Although i disagree with the statement of Wesker being the most fitted to be in a Vs series from the RE Universe (since now mainly the main 3 are basically superheroes at this point) he still deserved a slot and glad he got one. Great video and glad you did one. Id like to see videos of characters from your wishlist from both Marvel and Capcom characters that never made it in. I think Leon, Ada, and Hunk would make extremely good fits from the RE side and can keep whos already been included but maybe revert Jill back to MvC2 Jill. Thanks for reading lol
Despite how much I like Leon like everyone who knows RE, I'm glad an actual monster from the series of monsters got in first, but man nemmy is so painfully low tier that it hurts
RE is a lot of different things, so that's a little tricky to answer, but I'll try: - The remake of the first RE game has a great HD port. The game has fixed camera angles and tank controls, though there's a more modern analog control option if the default controls aren't to your liking. It's a phenomenal game. - Resident Evil 4 is more action game than horror, but it's an outstanding game with near perfect pacing. The game takes itself even less serious than previous entries, but it's tongue in cheek, as always. Either the original game or the remake is worth experiencing (both are on modern platforms) - Resident Evil 2's remake is similarly outstanding. It uses Resident Evil 4's camera perspective, but is structured more like the original games in terms of level design and resource management. It's _way_ more horror oriented and definitely worth experiencing at least once. - Resident Evil 7 is first person, but also has a renewed focus on horror; It's very distinctly inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre if that paints a better picture of what it is. It's a great game that falls off a bit by the end, but the opening hours are some of the best in the series. My personal recommendation I think for an absolute newcomer would be to start with the RE2 remake to see if you even like the series, then try the other games from there.
@@TheSeventhForce I’ll take your word for it though with RE 2 I preferably rather play the original version on the PS1 since I don’t really like remakes all that much because how they remove some of the aspects that made the original game had its own identity. RE 7 I would also like to play because of its inspiration from Texas Chainsaw Massacre but unfortunately I kind of get scared easily by messed up imagery and I’m quite squeamish to blood and gore. RE 4 I often hear is the best game in the series if not not the best game of all time though I hear it’s success heavily affected RE 5 and RE 6 but like RE 2 I want to play the original version on GameCube rather than the remake.
Doom: "You use Phoenix and have a $!7y haircut" Wesker: ;-; (Props to whoever gets this reference) Now this is a character I'm super glad made it into the series, do I play him? heck no, I'm nowhere near good at the games, and with that high @$$ skill ceiling, yeah that's above my level, but I can't deny how much history Wesker has, and how much of a favorite he is, I honestly want him back if the VS games ever continue or if there's a new Project X Zone, (Somehow) it'd be worth it for the interactions alone. also, one of the top 5 best alt costumes in the game, if only his hair was Pikachu yellow though. (Seriously, go look at the in-color opening to OG RE1, it's so freaking yellow!)
I'd honestly say Wesker has one of the lower skill ceilings of the cast; He's pretty straightforward and doesn't require high execution for just about any of his most useful stuff. You can pick him up and just kinda get what he's about after a couple matches.
@@TheSeventhForce Personally speaking I would rather see SEGA make another crossover game with their characters again because SEGA has dabbled in crossovers before with the SEGA All Stars series and their characters appearing in the Project X Zone series. Maybe they could do a crossover platform fighter similar to Smash Bros though since this a fighting game Kiryu would sadly have to cut from the roster because of Nagoshi’s policy on Kiryu not hitting women so I think the next best option is to make a 3rd SEGA All Stars Racing game (Team Sonic Racing doesn’t count) because I would love to see a 3rd game with Kiryu (or pair Kiryu up with Majima similar to Kaira and Jacky) as playable racers and to also have a Kamurocho track that is if SEGA is okay with having a track based on Japan’s red light district in a E rated game.
@@maxtubb8560 Yeah, I think if another Sega crossover game happened, I'd want it to be a follow up to Fighters Mechanic or All Stars Racing Transformed.
@@maxtubb8560 Some kind of Yakuza representation would be neat. Ichiban or Majima would be cool. Some kind of Skies of Arcadia or Shinobi rep would be great, too.
Can someone explain to me why people find Wesker voice acting in RE 5 good because to me I’ve always found it to be hilariously bad because D.C. Douglas’s inflection sounds more arrogant than evil I mean it makes the ”Jason” scene off Heavy Rain look like Oscar material. Heck even Joel Vargeskeletor made fun of Wesker’s voice in his Super Mario Land 2 stream.
I mean, it sounds arrogant because he _is_ arrogant. I don't think anyone's saying it's an award winning performance or anything, but it's a delightfully over the top performance in a suitably over the top game. Part of RE's charm has always been the cheese and Wesker's performance in particular is a good reminder that for as grim as some aspects of the game are, this is still a videogame involving a guy that looks straight out of The Matrix chewing the scenery and spouting hilariously awful comic book villain dialogue the whole way through. Frankly, I'd have been more disappointed if the voice direction for him was more subdued.
@@TheSeventhForce If Capcom’s intent was to make his voice hilariously over the top they absolutely nailed it because every time I hear his voice in MVC 3 I can’t help but to not take it seriously because of how over the top it is it just I find it kind of weird that there people out there who genuinely find Wesker’s voice acting gripping because like you said the who Appeal of the RE series is it’s cheesy B movie feel.
Even if the scene only ever plays out like that in the original version of RE1, I still choose to believe that was the moment Chris made a lifelong enemy of Wesker 😆
