    Hard disagree on Chris Redfield. Chris is just as, if not more capable than Jill. Even in his older years he is still one of the series' most capable and powerful protagonists.


    I think Leon could defeat Nemesis too, as G-Birkin was arguably a more formidable opponent than Nemesis-post mutation (Edit: you have to remember that Nemesis's mutations were caused by the Tyrant host-body breaking down, while G-Birkin's mutations were caused by out-of-control regeneration and constant evolution.) G-Birkin was confirmed to have had a 6th and 7th form in the game's official manual if G5 had not perished in the lab explosion.

    Ace would kill Nemesis? Big doubt

    Agreed. Chris has taken on more than all four RE characters, with Leon not too far behind. Uroboros and the enhanced C-virus are no joke. Claire's taken on G and T-Phobos, so I couldn't see her dying to Nemesis either. Plus, they're all the core main characters of the series so they can't die anyway lol

    Heather would have a very tough time against Nemesis, when you take into consideration what she was really going up against for the majority of Silent Hill 3. But she's incapable of dying in her game, so let's just assume it's the same here. I'd say Cybil would die against the final form though.

    I'd swap David with Ace too. David is essentially a tank and can take a beating without faltering. Ace would scoot by on luck, but it might run out. Then again, he could always end up like Jim from Outbreak and have the tides turn in his favor.

    Birkin was just as strong if not stronger than Nemesis, I bet Leon could take him. Also, Chris would die to Nemesis? He's far more experienced than Jill. As someone above me pointed out, he's one of the most powerful RE protagonists.

    Also, ain't no way in hell Ace is taking down Nemesis. Dude's an average-Joe who gambles a lot, that's about it.

    Nancy and Jonathan would survive Nemesis until he reaches stage 2?

    The Outbreak survivors took out Thanatos and Nyx, and some of them were just as underwhelming as Ace if not moreso. It's definitely possible, but it has to work out just right.

    i think cybil has a fair chance of beating nemesis stage 2, but stage 3 yea she dead sadly, also I agree with ash, cheryl and bill

    I like to think David would make it as far as he does by doing a Joe Baker and punching literally everything then when Nemesis hits stage 2 he cannot punch anymore and simply flops

    If we're including skins for characters, then there's one very powerful character you missed out: Alessa Gillespie.

    Being the person who turned a town into her own personal nightmare, I'd say she would have a complete Tier of her own above Ace called "Sends the Entire Umbrella Corporation to eternal damnation".

    100% accurate

    The Alessa skin we have is still Cheryl though

    In Silent Hill Lore, Cheryl/Alessa/Heather are all the same person

  • Marc_go_solo
    Marc_go_solo Member Posts: 5,332

    True, but it's more complicated than that, I feel.

    Indeed, Cheryl Mason is a reincarnated version of Alessa. But in lore, Alessa split her soul in 2 to create the original Cheryl which Harry found by the road.

    So the Alessa that's portrayed in the skin is only half the soul which ultimately became Heather Mason. Therefore, I'd still say thay Alessa warrants being seen as a separate individual skin, since her soul was split.

    Even if there's a debate that the Alessa skin was based on when the soul had not been split, the very fact it was split, resided in a never-ending nightmare, then forced together again in Silent Hill, then reincarnated, the very trauma involved would have the reincarnated soul different to the original Alessa.

    They may have the same soul, but they're not the same person, whicu is why I'd count Alessa as her own separate being.

    Ah yes, RNG, just as likely to let you kill a giant flesh blob with a rail gun that realistically should have torn you in half upon firing (*coughJillcough*) as it is to make you die to some random zombie in a dark alley

  • Sackboy123

    The fact it's not a Legendary skin can further show that it is Cheryl wearing Alessa's school outfit, also it still triggers me that she has a ponytail when she never did in the original SH1

  • Marc_go_solo
    Marc_go_solo Member Posts: 5,332

    Yeah, I get that. It's likely the ponytail links to "Silent Hill: Origins" than the original, but then there would be a huge disparity in age. I don't think the Entity takes children.

    I also understand what you mean by it not being legendary. I look at it that the outfit may not be legendary, but it's not an outfit which can be separated neither, which then follows the pattern of legendary skins as different characters.

    Perhaps it's a deliberate design to be very rare, rather than legendary, because although they are 2 different characters, they share the soul - so again adds to the ambiguity of whether Alessa and Cheryl are the same, or only parts of the same whole.

    So you know how people modded the manure out of the REmakes?

    I now can only think of Dwight replacing Leon in RE2. aka, Dwight with a Gun.

    a moment of silence for the hundreds of WR runs ended by bad RNG please

    Linked Cosmetics and Legendary cosmetics are two different things

    Alessa/Cheryl is Very rare therefore it's Cheryl wearing Alessa's Uniform

    Nea with the Hood cosmetic is Linked and Very Rare but it's stiil Nea

    Krampus and Minotaur Skins are Ultra Rare (These are Legendary skins since they're different characters but Ultra Rare are original creations by Behaviour while the Legendary skins like Chris/Claire or Cybil and Lisa are Licenced Legendary Skins. Both still chanage the character though)

  • Marc_go_solo
    Marc_go_solo Member Posts: 5,332

    The quote by the clothing does interest me though: "Her grief reminded her of Alessa Gillespie", which seems to imply 2 seperate individuals. It may not be a legendary set, but still poses the idea of 2 seperate people - 1 of which caused Silent Hill to become a nightmare, and the other attempting originally to escape her past.

    I think we have to consider the power scaling between our human characters here - Leon, Jill, Chris, and Claire are extraordinarily competent and powerful for humans. I don't know much about Cheryl, but I'd imagine she might be in a similar category based on what little I know of Silent Hill.

    There's definitely a set of survivors in the game that, lore wise, could believably fight a lot of these killers and win (in some cases handily). The DBD survivors (and Bill, though he is on the higher end in terms of his overall combat effectiveness in spite of age) are generally normal people with specialized skillsets (if any) against supernatural elements. They usually don't have sophisticated combat training, plot armor, weapon familiarity, etc. This puts them at a massive disadvantage against most of the killers in the game by design, which is intentional. A good example of a licensed character who can believably survive (but not necessarily beat or kill) a good portion of the killer cast with her specialized skillset is Laurie, based on her own experiences with Myers.

    RE characters (and potentially Cheryl) are written with another level of power in mind, and it's not a fair comparison to pit them against some of the more ordinary folks in DBD.
