Just Chris uses Magnums, Flamethrowers, Shotguns, and Rocket Launchers in UMVC3 alone, not to mention his knife, stun rod, grenade launcher and freaking satellite laser.
Hey. If that works than that works. But I don’t know how accurate that is to the original games. Especially the style of 1-4 and 7 that people like the most. And you know how Samurai is about that kind of thing.
Tell that to Snake...
Yeah, I didn't reply toI thinkstaindgrey can answer this better but isn't all Snake does in Smash consist of hand-to-hand combat and weapons? It's not that different from RE protags, not to mention Sakurai proved he can make interesting movesets out of less.

at first because I didn't want to take over another page with all my paragraphs lol.

At least those are weapons you actually use in MGS! And a lot of them are iconic moments in the series. Snake taking down Vulcan Raven’s tank with nothing but grenades, the Nikita Missile sections in 1 and 2. The Cyphers from 2. And the C4 that Boss uses to blow up the hanger in Snake Eater.
Yeah. If they want another Capcom character in here, RE is probably one of the next choices. Along side Dante and Phoenix Wright. Don’t really know what order of priority they are in though. I’d want Jill if I had to pick, but I can also understand the argument for Leon.Yeah, I didn't reply to
But yeah. Jill in particular had a unique moveset in MvC2 that could be used for heavy influence. Saying that the RE protagonists "just run and shoot" and thus they can't have a unique moveset is like saying everyone with a sword just runs and swings their sword.
Some of the hallmark weapons of RE that aren't guns are the combat knife, the grenade launcher and the RPG. Snake only has one of those. Jill (since I'm using her specifically in this scenario, even though any RE protagonist could work) would likely differ from Snake's weapons-heavy moveset by incorporating her knife in sword-like play with less disjointed hitboxes, a counter since using counter weapons has been a mainstay of the RE franchise, a sideB grenade launcher possibly with multiple types of grenades (explosive, fire, flash, acid) and an incorporation of some sort of BOW call in a similar way that Zelda "calls" her Phantom. A la MvC2.
Moveset potential isn't what would stop an RE protagonist from getting in. They've had 5 unique movesets already made for other fighting games and have 23 years of games from which to draw inspiration. What would stop them from getting in is Nintendo/Capcom not wanting them in. Nothing else.
Haven't played an RE game, but I'm pretty sure the items that the characters used in the MVC games, are also items they use in the games
Fixed it for you.
They are. And RE4 is actually the start of the "new style" of RE, not RE5. RE4 was an action shooter with a plethora of weapons and shooting galleries first.
What, you're saying you DON'T want Alice for Smash?!!! Her god powers would be perfectly fair and balanced!!!
This is EXACTLY what I would want.
Even Leon would work. I figure slow movement speed would be a must, with slow but hard-hitting specials. A CQC counter is also pretty much entirely necessary since that's been a staple of basically every RE since they incorporated it in REmake. My preference would be Jill with a taser.
The one with the grey hat on.
Got it. I figured, just a hunch, but I was just checking so that I don't look stupid...
Didn't Resident Evil have tank controls?
How would that even work? Smash is on a 2D plane.
Eh... not exactly. You can turn while moving and it is possible to move backwards. However, moving to the left or right of you is impossible, and you must turn before you move. It is kinda like Mario kart.
The wiki has transparent renders of all of Smash4’s trophies. They’ll probably have the spirits any day now.Anyone know where I can get a transparent Icon of the Shantae spirit?
I suppose that they could apply a delay to the character when turning to the opposite side.
Welp, it sure ain't there now...
Do what the Smash team did!Anyone know where I can get a transparent Icon of the Shantae spirit?
While that was kind of the joke, I'll explain it as if I was serious:
) before being allowed to turn around and move in the opposite direction.
The ports to modern consoles do. That wasn't a part of the original Gamecube release.
That would be so infuriating. But at the same time it’s the exact kind of thing Sakurai would do.While that was kind of the joke, I'll explain it as if I was serious:
You would have to stop completely and put your control stick in neutral (
Alternatively, instead of sliding and turning in one swift the character stops walking and slowly turns around.
if sakurai could make a fun to use, clever moveset packed with fun, neat references for a goddamn plant, he could easily make one for the original main characters of a long running massive survival horror series.Yeah, I didn't reply to

That's his final smash. Chris punches a boulder multiple times, and pushed it (along with the enemy) into lava.
So. Serious note piggybacking off the joke:While that was kind of the joke, I'll explain it as if I was serious:

Alternatively, instead of sliding and turning in one swift motion the character stops walking and slowly turns around.
My favorite is the unintentional comedy of "Forrest"."It's a weapon. It's really powerful. Especially against living things."
That always cracks me up
