I've been a mad supporter of Leon in Smash for a while. I just know thatWell, i’m glad that my essays from earlier were great conversation starters. While I don’t expect what I think to be taken as gospel, it was nice to see it get some discussion going.
Also,DaybreakHorizon , i’m glad that I have evidently sold you on Resident Evil in Smash but I can’t take all the credit. While i’m mostly a newbie to the classic style Resident Evil (after I finish 0, i’ll have played everything but 3, 7, and the Revelations games),
staindgrey has proven to be an avid supporter as well.
Overall, I am aware that some of the folks here haven’t played Resident Evil, nor would they care to, and I can’t blame them. For the longest time I wouldn’t touch the horror genre with a 39 1/2 ft pole, but after trying it out, i’ve found that Resident Evil is more than a horror series, it’s a big ol’ puzzle solving series that also requires you to manage your supplies. It’s like a...puzzle-strategy-horror game.
This makes it very unique, but I think it’s understated just how important Resident Evil is to gaming. I’m not sure of the history of horror gaming, but as a series it’s effectively the one that paved the way for games like Outlast, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and several others. It brought horror the gaming and, to my understanding, was groundbreaking at the time of its inception. There’s a reason that a handful of the games can be considered classics...even if the fanbase is split on if some of them are “survival horror”.
That said, if the Resident Evil support we drum up is anything like what happened with the Snake supporters here, I would be incredibly satisfied. Like, even the fact that I made a twitter account for Snake as Smash 4 DLC, and then Sakurai said he was “Back by popular demand”...that brought a tear to my eye.
All you Snake supporters out there...NonSpecificGuy , @HylianHeroBigBoss , @cool mario bros , and any others, you guys are rad. Still pretty cool to think we made a difference.

stain is a huge supporter of Jill. So I'll keep silently supporting Leon. I like them both for real so I don't want to make it seem like I'd prefer Leon over any of them but in the end, my most preferred, is Leon.But yeah, man, Snake getting in is such a victory for me that I knew after that everything else was gravy. It's still so surreal to me, even now, that we not only got Snake back but Simon and Richter as well and that's without even mentioning K. Rool and Ridley. I finally understood how the Mewtwo fans felt for those 7 years. Luckily I didn't have to wait as long. Thank God.
