Why are people saying Lady Dimitrescu doesn't fit in DBD?

I have seen sooooo many people say "She doesn't fit in the game because she is so tall". So? Nemesis and Mr.X are around the same height as her. At 9 feet tall. Nobody is talking about that. But people still want Nemisis and Mr. X even though they are so tall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtyLJQlAJNY

    Lady D thematically fits DBD a lot more than Mr.X and Nemesis imo. I haven't played those games but I did do some research into who they are and as far as I know both seem rather uninteresting as a dbd killer. Who knows, maybe the dev team have come up with something interesting.

    I do feel like Lady D on the other hand has the capabilites to be more of a unique killer

    According to the RE Wiki "Though his role essentially similar within Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, there's a noticeable change on this character: First of all, he depicted standing roughly 9 feet tall.". Where did you get that information? Also, you know you can minimize a picture right? Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtyLJQlAJNY

    I want her as the killer so bad! I don't want chris as a survivor, but I'll live (or die) with it if lady d is killer. Just because she's tall dosen't mean she wont "fit". It's a work of fiction. If they need to alter her height so she can be the tallest possible but not her technical in game measurements vs scale then ok! Nemesis and mr x are wouldn't make sense for capcom right now. If this collab happened when the re2 or re3 remake happened then sure. With 8 coming out and the internet obsessed with lady d it makes more sense to have her. Mr x would be boring and nemesis would just have a tentcle and possibly a rocket launcher that i don't think would work mechanically for dbd?!? I could be wrong but having explosions in dbd is going to be a headache all around. To develop and to play.

    I also wanna add that mr x and nemisis are kind of one track mind characters. I'd prefer a killer that has actual thought beyond "starrrrsssssss". Even if we don't get lady d i don't want them!

    I think she shares the problem of the Trickster in that if they're making people horny, they have failed as something meant to be intimidating. Plus the game hasn't even come out yet, I don't think they should base the killer off of an unreleased game. Like others have mentioned as well, the tallest of killers are sitting at 7', and she's 10'. There'd definitely be some problems with her size.

    Aside from her physical size alone, Lady D would work fine in this game - more so than Nemesis or Mr. X would in my opinion.

  • SnakeSound222

    Mr. X and OG Nemesis are around seven feet tall. Remake Nemesis is supposed to be at least 8'8. Lady D is almost 10 feet tall. You can put the remake Nemesis skin on the original's body to get around the tall height. You can't do that for Lady D.

    Also, we don't need more of the internet's feelings about her. I've always thought it was stupid and unnecessary.

    No, lady dimitrescu is much taller than nemesis and mr x.

    Whatever. If people want her, they want her. It doesn't matter if I don't like it.

    I don't think it's that she doesn't fit per se, the closest thing I can think of when it comes to that is her height which iirc plague is like 7 feet tall and Dimitrescu is like 9 ft, but I think it's simply because people don't want a newer RE killer and want someone more iconic such as Nemesis or Mr. X.

    Also, half the people that want her need to go to horny jail.🤡

    Seriously though, we have Trickster, so if her height isn't a problem, she'd fit just fine. BHVR would definitely get backlash though. It would be interesting though if, unlike Silent Hill where they did the first 3 games, they do a combination of classic and new RE (RE2, RE7, RE8?).

    People usually just aren't open to new stuff, so I'm not surprised there are people against her, I don't care either way as long as I get Leon or even better CARLOS.

    Because Lady D is from RE8, this is the newest part of RE, but still I have no idea what power would have Mr X

    Lady Dimitrescu is 290 cm tall. She literally wouldn't fit in most structures. Hell, she wouldn't fit through any doorway.

    Maybe they can give her the power to shrink or something.

    It doesn't make sense to put her into dbd . Taking the msin attraction out their new game ( which just dropped ) doesn't make sense.


    They want people buying the new game ,Not buying dbd to play her.

    Dlc prices are chump change to full game prices.

    Its not that she doesnt fit. Its that there are much more iconic monsters that are wanted a great deal more then her

    I think the killer is going to be a Hunter to join Demogorgon. His power is going to be large leaps.

    If you play re8 you'll see why

  • Digwiid
    Digwiid Member Posts: 311

    If you actually wanted an Re8 killer there'd be more candidates in the game to choose from. And as @IWasLeft2Die mentioned, if you actually played the game where you want Lady D to come from, you'd know why she's not making it in. And not just the context of height, but in context of Re8 as well.

    The height problem is just stupid. The Entity can clearly manipulate the height of the killers to its liking.

    Doctor and Trapper for example are clearly normal sized humans when they were still normal people in the tome cutscenes, and now both are magically 7 feel tall or something.

    The Entity could just shrink Lady Dimitrescu a bit and that's it lol.

    BTW I'd still like Lord Heisenberg more than her tbh, he's easily RE8's best character.

    it's not that she doesn't fit the theme, she literally doesn't fit


    she can't fit in the killer shack


    she can't fit in any indoor map.


    the ######### is too tall

  • Hoodied
    Hoodied Member Posts: 13,022

    Good chance its because she is literally over 9 feet and also really doesn’t have anything going for her except her looks and the endgame


    Tyrant literally has a final forme that can dash and has massive claws

    Nemesis has an rpg and tentacles

    And people forget about Birken

  • ItzZane_

    I dont want her in the game Why?


    She's not iconic like nemesis or Mr X

    That's like bringing the grey child into DBD instead of Pyramid head tbh

  • IWasLeft2Die
    IWasLeft2Die Member Posts: 2,405

    She was kind of a let down in 8 tbh. I wasn't as hyped as most but I was still slightly let down by her

  • Freudentrauma
    Freudentrauma Member Posts: 1,053

    I think people who uses her physical size as an argument, just don't want her in the game over classical RE characters in general and are just looking for reasons. I persnally don't expect her. Maybe as a legendary skin, if possible.

    In general, if I think about it, it remembers me of the Ridley-is-too-big-for-Smash-discussions the gaming community had back then with Smash 4.

    1. as if the entity hasn't meddled with killers sizes before. Look at the head proportions on some tall killers. Deathslinger for example was likely much smaller in life than the entity made him. So, the entity might adjust her ladyship to fit through the doorways.
    2. both re7 and 8 could actually build up on existing map pools: re7 on the swamp, re8 on the swamp and red forest.

    1. You literally have no proof of that. Most people aren't like DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, with "perfect" proportions. They have big heads, small heads, etc.
    2. Doesn't change the fact that Lady Dimitrescu wouldn't fit through doorways.

    It does not say that on the RE Wiki. It says that on the VILLAINS wiki (which I would not call a reliable source at all because it is not a place specifically meant to fact-check Resident Evil information) and is in regards to his depiction in Operation Raccoon City.

    Please cite your sources properly.

    Who cares if Lady Dimitrescu can't fit through door ways.

    People should also keep in mind that if she was made smaller than she hardly has any powers...she would just be an M1 killer with no powers unless they added something onto her that's not in re8 when she is walking around. She has her claw but that's basically it
