Every Playable Resident Evil Character Ranked From WORST To BEST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Launching on the PS1 in 1998, Resident Evil has been a staple of the horror video game genre for over 2 decades. From the fixed camera angles of Resident Evil 2, to the 3rd person action perspective of Resident Evil 4, and even 2019's outstanding Resident Evil 2 Remake, these games have left a lasting impression. But as well made as they may be, they'd be nothing without the memorable characters that inhabit its gruesome world. Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy - they're all invaluable parts of the most influential horror video game series of all time.
With Resident Evil 3 Remake on the horizon, let's rank 'em.

Who's your favourite Resident Evil spook boyorgirl?
Head Turner!
Barry's my favorite and I don't know how Steve wasn't the first one listed. He is the worst thing to happen to the entire series. I would rather play umbrella corps for a month straight then listen to his voice. Oh my God!! I need to lay down.
Mine is Leon and Jill, so obvious I know. As a suggestion, how about the worst to best Lego video game adaptions?
Claire

The truth. You've told it.
everything about this comment makes sense somehow
😂

Jill will always be my favorite RE character, because if you want stars she'll give you stars
Renziell Gamboa Oh I hope she’ll give me her stars ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Best RE line ever
But can she give me sandwich?

@@tezzaalvaro6016 oh she will, you can get it at the arklay mansion branch
I bet Ethan would be at a better place if this video was made like 4days ago
I didn’t like him at first, but him telling a friendly heisenberg that’s getting him help and safety to suck his ass really got to me
@@McSnezzly Ethan is one of us everyday boys if we went thru some resident evil bullshit
Yess
Nah, Ethan will always be a piece of shit and boring character
@@entiendemierda3849 and who asked your opinion? Did i?
I loved Sheva actually. She's a gal pal of Chris'. She doesn't try to get in his pants, and he doesn't try to get in hers. She tries to help Chris as much as possible. Also that accent
And that makes her great waifu material.
Agreed. She is definitely better than Jessica (from revelations), that woman was "thirsty".
@@keyo3316 every time I hear her name it reminds me of Rob Schneider in the hot chick saying "it's me, Jessica". somebody needs to just mod her to replace all of her dialogue with that. Makes her even more annoying. Then again can you blame her? Chris is quite a beeftower. She wants some fuk.
That ass
Sheva is nice. She should have made some sort of cameo appearance in a sequel after RE5, even at least in some cutscene.
Sheva and Barry are placed WAY too low. You say "they didnt get enough character" yet you rank a block of Tofu and 10 minute run characters above them. There's zero logic in this list
Fr this list is bs
Tofu should of been number 1
Right? XD
Barry is the best, hands down. The legend joined the BSAA with a little help with chris, did a lot of things in various games, moved to canada to protect his family from umbrella, went back to work, came back home to see his younger daughter almost dead because of his older daughter, had trouble being a good father (and actually felt bad for it, unlike certain bad fathers in 90% of games) but still went all the way to the russian island to save the daughter that hated him, and after all the shit-ton of problems he had, his happy ending wasn't as generic as everyone else's, and he pretty much adopted a wesker unknowingly, wich will probably render a new game with him as a protagonist. don't forget about the whole "the bird has changed" thing, the alex wesker within natalia has indeed awoken, and it's pretending to be normal natalia. hell yeah gimme more barry fucking burton fanservice, he's the best
@@zenmode3125 I still don't like how he betrays Jill tbh, he could've told her and asked her to play along or something xD Jill could've died in the remake when he used the elevator, and not just because of Lisa, but also out of starvation or something :P
It is hands down Leon. He defines what a perfect protagonist in any video games should strive to create. Leon is simply so damn good with his perfections and his imperfections. Outstanding.
Facts. the name Leon is a contender for my future child if i have a son. luckily my grandfathers name was Leon also so i have more of an excuse 😂
cringe
@@ThunderHOWL16even more cringe
Its unfair Sheva Alomar never got more attention. She's smart, competent, gorgeous, and feels like a real person.
The last one is only applicable when someone is controlling her in coop.
@@gagejohnathan9641 We discover Sheva's personality in cutscenes where nobody controls her. As for AI its equally poor for other characters - Chris, Josh, oh even Jill.
Yeah I agree I liked Moira but it would have been good if instead of making Moira a playable character, they decided to pair Sheva with Claire. Even having her in the first revelations but I think that happened before the RE5 timeline?
except on professional
Real talk
Leon Scott Kennedy & Jill Valentine - The ultimate Warriors and role models
Fuck that Leon and Sheva!
We need a game with them two
No Chris is the best he can crush boulders
@@metrohunter-qy4fz lol you're right and he does all this without a super soldier Serum YUP CAPCOM IS THE GREATIEST TROLL EVER!
@@metrohunter-qy4fz Chris Redfield on Steds🤣
carlos was given justice in the RE3 remake
I completely agree. And that was their chance to have him say he'd continue fighting against his old employer too, but the game ended and...nothing. So what did Carlos do after the events in 3? Just disappear? At least with Sheva and Josh we know they live in a different country so they are probably still fighting over there. Same with Jake.
And his hair is better
Miles Morales that’s his point
Hell yes 😍
Ryse _ so that’s his point
“We aren’t using Outbreak characters cause they don’t have personalities and all play the same” uses what if re skin characters from ghost survivors.
Ryan Stewart yea im totaly bewildered as to why they are not in this list?
@@philwhatever3903 He was too lazy to play as every character from Outbreak 1 and 2.
Yeah.. apparently it's not a ''real game''. Not to mention one of the biggest appeals about Outbreak is that all the characters play differently lol.
Resident Raccoon and how they all have different stories and personalities but I guess they’re just copy and paste side characters 🥴
Exactly what I thought lol
RE2: Remake Leon
despite his swearing, and shooting of guns at undead
he's still too innocent for this world
"You really trust that bitch?" 😂😂
That's pretty fucking debatable
U are in a zombie apocalypse saying fuck and bitch are the least problem hahah
He's a bean
Yeah he was adorable in the RE2 remake lol and then he was a "bad boy" in RE4 but still sweet lol
In the Zoe centered dlc, it literally says that Ethan sent soldiers back for her. So no, he didn’t forget her.
He also wasn't looking for Mia because of the video, he was because of a fake email.
@@TequilaSunsett it's sad but I recently figured out that Ethan wasn't watching the video in the beginning SMH
Claire DID have training in combat and survival skills. Her brother trained her personally.
But it wasn't formal.
@ Does it matter? She still had training
She was badass. Maybe my favorite resident evil character. Cant believe leon wouldn't marry her on the spot after surviving raccoon city.
@@justyouraveragechad9354 I don't know... His dynamic with Ada is so fun!
@@brunomilocchi3897 true and I get why it is but Clair is beautiful, tough, smart, and they went through raccoon city together. I wish he would have wifed her up and adopted sherry
“Where’s everyone going? Bingo?”
Lmao
Gotta love Leon
Love that line. Honestly the best opening in the series hands down
NO THANKS BRO
@@ceoofdinosaurs4276 ASHLEYYYYYY!!!!!!
To me, I love Resident Evil 6. Playing four different storylines that still connected to the plot was awesome in my book. The hand to hand combat was great as well. Ada also bought a great behind the scenes look on the overall storyline too!
"IT'S NOT HORROR" and such. And when it was? RE was never scary. It tried certainly, but still remained cheesy and classy B movie, I absolutely love RE 6. Maybe becase it was my first RE game, but I still enjoying it very much.
Yeah I love Resident Evil 6 too but if u compare it to the first games its just not the typical RE and most of the ratings really look on the RE aspect where its about survival while RE 6 is just plain action, but I love it anyway.
@@mistral1943 RE scared the hell out of people back in the day… I mean yeah, it’s always been very cheesy B movie horror, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be scary. But yeah, RE6 is my favorite too. I don’t see why RE can’t tackle multiple genres.
@@Zoogi.e Well, may be it was a succesfull horror, all right, but it never was the case for 4-th and 5-th at least. And yet 6-th is what people shitting on.
@@mistral1943 i completely agree. They just hated how bombastic 6 was, while I thought it was epic. Over the top? Absolutely. But as you said, previous resident evil games had been over the top too. And it was very ambitious. To have the campaigns crossover, each having its own flavor, etc. (love the new profile pic btw lol).
>we aren't including outbreak characters as they don't have much of a personality.
Okay someone didn't play those games
You can find out by reading their details and what they say while playing as them.
Just what I was thinking! Those 8 survivors were amazing!
@@AlmightyPolarBear is mark the police officer ? Cant remember which one he was but the security guy and the police officer were my favs from outbreak
Lmao this dude included Agent and ghost survivors in the list but didn't include outbreak characters. What a mess.
@@sirnightengale4214 He was a security guard, Kevin is the police officer and cool fact, he failed the STAR's test a few times
Bro Hunk is clearly the most attractive man on the planet. Why else would he hide his face behind a gas mask. (Ignore the fact that he's around bio chemical weapons a lot)
He probably hides his face for our safety because he knows his face is literally glowing😂
JMSGridIron56 isn’t hunk j Martinez as well? Or was j Martinez someone else’s?
@@lil_mobly hunk is someone else j martinez canonicaly killed by birkin but hunk survived as the fouth survivor of racoon city accident cmiiw
Mere human oh ok thank you because I want confused on the video.
The reason he doesn’t show his face is cuz he doesn’t want to embarrass other men by arousing them with pure manliness
I don’t think Capcom is scared of killing of characters anymore.
My boy Ethan, just when i was starting to like him.
Ethan was never an important character. He was needed just because all the original main characters became too OP, and Capcom wanted to bring back the Survival Horror aspect of their games that was missing ever since RE 5. RE 7 and 8 would have lasted like two hours each if someone like Leon was the main character in those games.
Unless it's (inhales)
HUNK
Sad but true 😭
"It's a weapon. It's very powerful, specially against living things"
Love you Barry
So funny in a video game but I'd say it's due to some translations' issues XD.
"Its *REALLY* Powerful! Especially against living things! Better take it with you!" No matter what, I'll die laughing to it! God damn it, Barry.
Too bad Jill was up against the undead.
Bathe VA should have just said the line sarcastically would have sounded better
Yet, it's grenade rounds for the bazooka and not an actual weapon lol
Ugh. It does annoy me that Sheva was basically thrown away after RE5... She was great! I don't understand 🤭
Me too, I really liked how down to earth and realistic she was
Her and billy coen should have a spin off game together
Makes me mad tbh
tbh thats just how many characters that aren't Leon, Claire, Chris and Jill are in resident evil.
She makes for a good one-time character. I’m glad she wasn’t forced into RE6. She doesn’t deserve to be ruined by RE6 and she wouldn’t fit well into the stories of the other RE games before the remakes started being made.
That is actually really hard, because I genuinely like the core four (Jill, Leon, Chris, Claire) a lot. It’s hard for me to actually say who I like the most.
I like Ethan as the fifth choice ether that or one of the RE0 characters
@@randycrawford1132 Not enough time spent with Ethan yet. Maybe if Village goes by well, I might.
you forgot Piers
Leon.
@@diegoprodriguez thoughts now?
Leon and Jill should always share the number one spot in any list.
I need a Jill/Leon game.
Jojo Poppy Capcom Don't care about Jill/Leon game 🙃
Chris would hate that LOL.
Chris & Ada need a game I think they will be cool as duo team.
A game with Chris Jill Leon Claire! .. is all I need😍
@@jmdevon5117 That'd be cool actually.but then again,it's kinda impossible because of RE6
Claire Redfield will always be my favorite! She’s such a badass and one thing people should realize is that Claire was just a 19 year old college student who just went looking for her brother on her own a without special military training and she STILL managed to survive the raccooon city incident and the Rockford island incident! Claire doesn’t need to be a STARS team member like Jill to be badass she already is one (:
Sophia Gonzalez Also Claire is the only character to survived with help from no one, and to saved a child in the process.
Leon got saved by Ada. Jill by Barry and Carlos. Rebeca helped Chris. But Claire she survived all on her own.
Ferna The best Yeah I agree with you
Microwave well of course he is cuz he can fight and he’s basically John wick and he’s really popular but Claire still remains my favorite even if Leon is better
Well no shit! Chris trained her! An expert marksman with superb combat training and muscle gain that brings the pain is her brother and teacher!
TheSpookyBoi yeah but she isn’t as skilled as Jill or ada and she still managed to survive all on her own, Claire didn’t have special military training like Jill
I want a game with Jill and Leon. I always played Jill over Chris, and Leon over Claire. So when it comes to male and female those two are my favorites. Maybe a future game with all 4.
Bc they wont fit. Leon is a dumb character and Jill one of the greatest with Chris. Iconic duo.
Leon doesnt deserve the fan he has.
@@BrutusElPared Leon is dump.... Oh yeah he really dump like dump enough to save President US daughter ass in that time almost by himself😑
I love both Claire and Leon I named my daughter and son after them.
Ah I see you’re man of culture as well
I'm honored
This deserves a ❤️.
Not bad names tbh pretty good
Reading this brought a smile to my face
"Claire's the only one on this list to appear exclusively in really good games."
Amen, brother. Four best games in the franchise.
TheThirdDaySH Gun Survivor 2 would like a word with you
@@JRMAV1 lmao hush you.
*cough* RE4 *cough*
But Claire is not on RE4
El Ingobernable They are aware. They just mean that every game Claire has been in was good. This isn’t saying that only the games she’s in are good.
Being dead honest, Ethan is probably one of my favorites just because of how goddamn determined he is to save his wife.
he was on a mission and I respect that
Ethan is very relatable, he’s going to react to crazy shit the way many people would. He’s not an action hero, he’s just an Everyman.
Ethan is such a badass, he can get his limbs seperated and still dont react
Ethan is the Chad
@E meme is a disgrace to the meme community just 8 actually
Doesn’t mean he’s a bad character tho
We all know that if this wasn't a "playable character" top the number 1 would be Luis Sera✊😔

@@vnmblade he is fine as hell
Same. Resident Evil 2 was my favorite game of the series, along with Resident Evil 4

@@kintama3453 what's that supposed to mean man
Jill Valentine is and will always be, my number 1
Chase Summers 👏 👏 👏 🥪
Leon is my absolute favorite, but if I'm being honest, Jill is probably the better character.
Ada is my top fav!
She isn't protagonist of a main RE title ever since RE 3... Even in Revelation (which is not a main title she was co protagonist with Chris).
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine will always be my favorite male and female re characters both badasses and Jill is the hottest re female character in my opinion and I do ship them
This guy's acting like everyone chose jill for her character instead of the fact that she had more inventory space and gets a lockpick
IKR she was meant to be the easier difficulty playthrough while Chris was the more difficult playthrough. Especially since Barry will save her from the ceiling trap, the Plant 42, and Wesker at the end if you get the good ending. Whenever Rebecca saves Chris you actually have to do work and play as her with no weapons.
I like Chris more because I like his storyline with Wesker and like Rebecca more than Barry. Also, playing as Chris is automatically harder than Jill and I like harder games.
I play as Jill for her character. She is infinitely more interesting than Chris.
Ya I always played as Chris. I liked Rebecca a lot, and I preferred Chris with his dynamic with Wesker, I thought it made the ending more interesting. But that being said I also love the Jill campaign and Barry, but ya I played as Chris a lot more. (But goddamn ya those stupid little old fashioned keys you gotta find as him suuuuuuck)
@@kinghijinx5892 I think chris get more interesting after resident evil 5
I really want Sheva to come back. She was a great character too.
@private private ph ag
@private private dude you just copypasting this racist shit in all comments lmao
Sheva is a great character but she works best in the context of RE5. She could have appeared in RE6 but that means that she’d replace Piers which means that she would die and that would suck. She wouldn’t fit the context of any other game except for RE5 and MAYBE RE6 but that’s it. She is a very good one-time character though.
@private private There were no zombies in RE5.
@@liveeyeguy7732 You're only associating her with that because her only appearance was in a more action oriented RE game yet that same game has Chris which is seen to work both ways, so why not Sheva?

I didn’t even know “Agent” was a playable character in resident evil lmao wtf is that
I seen it once and I laughed lol they should have given Ada, Hunk. He woulda been a perfect partner.
Yeah because he was trained by Hunk! The best resident evil character ever!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When I played re6 with my sister, she played Ada and I played as Agent. He was given so much injustice on this list, I mean come on dude, he literally can’t even opens doors, my man deserved number 36
@@Wilkoooo I remember few weeks ago. My big brother and I deiced to do No hope which is uh kinda hard. Even more hard while playing agent. I wanted to do Ada since she was my favorite but my brother decline since I chose the last 3 characters campaign. I thought it was okay but NO I was wrong. For god sake he can't even open doors, chest, pull lever, move things around. My brother joked that I was just the voice. Also the teleporting is just weird. I be fighting Simmons, Leon comes down to recuse ada and I be in a freaking building near Helena.
Fighting the chainsaw just gave me stress. I can barely move to get around the chainsaw on the bus. I mostly got knocked off and then eaten by zombies.
I swear, I was in the dying stage and near Leon and Helena feet. I was yelling for help and no one helped me and kept shooting Deborah. My big brother was dying laughing of my misery. I can complain more but this comment is getting too long lol
firestorm the wolf literally what happened to me. I died so much at the bus bit but I eventually managed to keep running laps back and forth. The fact no NPCs can revive Agent sucks so bad, in the Deborah fight my sister kept having to stop what she was doing and run over to help me. But the sniper part at the end with Helena works quite well with Agent, like, the actual bit in Leon’s campaign is the same so it’s not too bad. But I just wish he could AT LEAST open doors, like 0/10 for effort.
I hope Capcom is reading the comments. Most people here really want that gorgeous african gal to be back.
You mean sheva?
I want Piers back
Nobody wants Sheeva back
@@jakehalle3697 yessir
@@JPZett says you
hahahah ..... that "HUNK" call every time hunk is mentioned is just funny..... :D
It reminds me of "TANK" from MADtv....
Ethan deserves to be ranked higher after Village. Mans makes poor choices but he’s a brave husband/dad who fights to the last to save his wife and daughter. Also his twist is fantastic
I'd be really interested to see how the list would change after RE3 Remake and Village. RE3 Remake made Carlos incredibly charismatic, and Village skyrocketed Ethan up the list to be one of the best (and most tragic) characters in the franchise. He's my personal 3rd favorite after Jill and Leon.
Shadow of Rose made me like him even more
I like Ethan but I would lying if I said I’m not happy Clancy is above him on the list
Now I love Ethan but of all the playable characters in 7 and village, Joe Baker is number 1
I went from "man Ethan gets fucked up a lot" to basically thinking he's a damn super hero after the end of Village haha. He's a cool character.
Why is "Agent" above Keith? Yourself said he has no face, story, background, personality, nothing!!! It's just a patch character.
Ok, im not a fan of Keith but c'mon, you just can't put a skin character of Hunk above of a real character (good or bad), that's dumb.
Also, Sherry is way ranked too low, for God's Sake, you just ranked her below the mayor's daughter (a fucking dead body with no dialogue's lines), that's wrong in so many levels. This list is a mess.
Yea this list is honestly dog shit he listed sheva below what if characters chris below rebecca's and claire like you serious?
he also himself said no extra modes like mercenaries or raid mode... and then included the mayors daughter in even though she was in an extra mode.
No u
frogradar Claire > Chris
Rebecca, Sherry and Ashley were too low. Ashley was the most tolerable escort mission character I have ever rescued. Ada should have been below literally all of them, chris, and pretty much everyone from stars and the racoon city incident.
Leon has it all imo. Cool look, cool attitude, him being a rookie cop to start his stories of RE truly puts him in a group with Chris, Jill and Claire. I think he's the character with the most potential. Jill has been the true star of RE games but Leon is right there to be the second biggest imo.
For some reason Chris and Leon are tied until the re2 remake but Jill has been number 1 even after re7.
@@bluez1892 i think today's generation or at least for today's gamers, Leon is the one..the older gamers will take Chris over him. I'm fairly new to this still, i had RE5 as an early teen years.ago but i never finished that game, never went far into it. Still have it, cause i like the case. RE2 remake was the one that started it for me, and i done a lot of research on the characters, Leon just stands out for me cause of his story, him being one of the very first to find out about the outbreak just thinking it was grizzly murders has a connection to the story as well Chris and Jill being the the center of it.
@@quentindiaz9418 Hey there it was actually Jill that found out about the outbreak if if not Brad Vickers but if you play RE 3 remake you will get further into the story cause RE3 is before and after RE2. Leon and Claire come into Raccoon City a week after outbreak and basically leave after one night. Jill had been around the outbreak longer basically through the whole thing.
@@susanw1863 i meant for around the area, that he was one of the first outside of group to know about it but not knowing what it actually was. Not the first. I know Jill and Chris and others were the very first
@@quentindiaz9418 I guess and from what you have detailed your RE experience that makes some sense I just wish Capcom would expand the lore a little bit more and stop leaving the general story to be so vague. I get what your saying for someone outside and quickly finding what is happening but again that might go towards Ada but the first to truly find out and know what is going on. Leon is told and later finding evidence along the way. Again this is capcom's problem of not explaining their story more clearer
Leon and Claire have always been my favorite.
My best ones are:
-Jill
-Carlos
-Claire
-Leon
-Chris
-Ada
BLACK PINK the only ones that really matters tbh 😅
I guess also Piers, or maybe Sherry

Eyyyy I’m with you bud
Eyoow.
Same
H e l l o
I think there’s more than 7 of us! 😛
I will say that Chris, Claire, and Jill are actual well written characters story wise; you watch him actually suffer from PTSD in 5 and 6, and see him actually break as a person. Claire is Chris' sister who gets involved literally just to chase after her brother (there is more to her than that too), also; Claire was trained by her brother, Jill eventually suffers from PTSD, and Leon literally is just a pretty boi and beautiful idiot
Of course ranking lists are subjective, but this one got Chris wrong and Claire wrong
Hell; if you remember how Chris actually has a written character across the entire series; you'll remember how Piers is the *sole* reason why Chris even *starts* to overcome his traumas. But yes Leon is the coolest one.
It just kinda sucks that *Ignoring* character writing stopped the top four from being Chris, Claire, Leon, and Jill in any order (the characters who actually *are* the series and *wrote* the survival horror genre and existence of third person shooter)
Gabe Fuck yes
Gabe Leon has character development, it’d be nice if we had a game between 2 and 4 to bridge the gap tho
@@kingzxlol yeah, i also hope that they completely rewrite re4 story in a remake or outright retcons it (don't get me wrong i love the game but the story is just plain bad and doesn't even try to make sense)
can't agree more
@@omarcarrero3623 agreed on the story but it was one of the best games at the time I remember putting more time into this re4 than any game everything was just so good about it that you can forget about the corny storyline.
Piers should have been higher. He singlehandedly made me go from not caring about him in the beginning to feeling bad and sorry for him in the end. I just wish he was playable in more games.
Leon Scott Kennedy will always, only and forever my favorite character in Resident Evil series
RE:Leon fan#1 ofcourseeee

@@hotcofi2969 Anyways, I like them both but for me, Chris is just way stronger and more trained overall (Chris is a soldier and captain, Leon was a police officer), he and Sheva were responsible to kill the best and stronger antagonist the franchise has ever had, fucking Albert Wesker.
@@MatheusRodrigues-gm5tf thats what happens when a unstopable force meets an imovable object
huh i never noticed. but they are right. ada is the catwoman to leon batman. No wonder why he can suplex people. I am Batleon
I've always noticed that. Batman and catwoman are my super hero ship and I'm a huge comicbook nerd so I actually saw the commonalities almost immediately.
no Leon is Cap America and Chris is Batman
@@casualcookin3893 nah that's the other way around caps a super soldier pulling helicopters chris punches bolder they are more alike lol
@@theonethatlookslikethisone1280 i think personality wise,Leon and Cap are more alike they are both boy scouts,also cap's better feats are agility over strength like Leon,but i get your point aswell
@@casualcookin3893 I can't see Chris ever getting along with Ada like Leon does, Chris is more of a boy scout because he's a pretty black and white character. Even in 7 people didn't even register that it could possibly actually be Chris Redfield because he was in Blue Umbrella.
Outbreak literally had character specific moves, phrases and items yet you say, "ThEy AlL PLaY ThE SamE"
But you bring up the unnamed player from re7's teaser?????
well since their storyline are all the same then it would be kinda pointless
plus it would doubles up the list if he want to include it so badly
althought talking about outbreak i like playin as kevin
@@01aidil02 except for the fact that certain characters in certain missions have unique cut scenes and backstory elements. the college kid is an umbrella researcher in disguise, the doctor is a collaborator with umbrellas human experimentation, the reporter has ties to an old umbrella experiment, the plumber is an ex-assassin, ext. true, they needed more screen time to flesh our, but if DEMO MAN!!!! can get a spot, then at least the better fleshed out ones should be here.
Funfact if claire redfield is one of the main characters its guaranteed a good resident evil game by the way she was trained by her brother to defend herself and clearly really well chris may not be the most interesting when it comes to personality but he is the most skilled soldier in the franchise for sure wich means hes the most important so if youre gonna talk about the goat get your facts right lol
Fabian69
Revelations 2 wasn’t that good though
@@Darksaviour yeah but its one of the best titles thats not a main title if not the best non main title
Actually false, Hunk is far more skilled than Chris, along with his former apprentice, Vector.
@@Patriot_Zeig idk about all that chris defeated albert wesker lol
@@Fabian6980 Rev1 was better. Especially from a campaign perspective.

Steve Burnside should be listed as the worst, Keith was way better than him.
two of my favorite characters are Chris and Rebecca. i'm glad they're pretty high up.
What about Jessica from Revelations?
@@abbysmith8181 Not my list. Lel I'm just the messenger. Sowwy. :c
lmao idk how they missed her 😂 They legit talk about her.
Jill, Chris and Claire all the way!
It’s a shame Rebecca never been in more games.
or sheva
htvxm you don’t understand why he wants her in more games.
nolanc94 you don’t understand what i was saying
Who cares about rebecca no one really talks about her anymore
I agree, she is one of my top 3 favorite characters.
Just an fyi for the Moira part, the whole part about Wesker kidnapping Barry's family was a bluff, they were never actually taken.
That's what I thought. He almost got me with this vid XD.
One of the few things that I can applaud Capcom for is the consistency on Claire's personality.
In RE Degeneration Leon tells Claire that she choose the hardest path, to be a "rescuer" rather than a fighter, which perfectly shows the type of person she is.
Me after watching the ranking...
Brain: H U N K
he is underrated af
Hunk is best
*Jill Valentine, the face of Resident Evil.*
And Wesker's Umbrella's face.
weightycarlos Meh she’s now irrelevant character. Jill was totally shitty character in remake 3 even her new face was shitty
*Leon Kennedy, The Face Of Resident Evil* Oh fuck I'm going to get a lot of shit from chris fanboys
@@theshrimpboatcaptain8313 You're not wrong, lel everyone knows Leon more than Jill or Chris, mainly because of the insanely popular RE 4.
@@amornoro2076 fuck off you stinky animal, nobody cares about your shitty opinion. Get a life
You lost me at "Not including Outbreak characters, as they have no personality and are all the same." Tsk, tsk... You clearly never played the games online and unlocked all the character specific FMVs. FeelsBadMan
LutherKrin Yeah and says he’s not including extra modes, then proceeds to include extra mode characters from RE2R. Puts Ada Wong (a side character) ahead of both Redfield’s (main characters) Shit list.
After RE8.......Ethan has to be top 5 now
Fr Ethan is a badass
I like the game but personally I don't like Ethan at all...
I want a resident evil game where you get to play with Leon, Claire, Ada and Jill. All of them could meet at some point during the story also.
Furious Dragon that would be interesting.
Wonder no more this is how it would roll:
Leon would be main, Ada would help him from the shadows. Jill would be the damsel in distress, and Claire would be the dumbnut trying to help a villain posing like a good guy Jeopardizing the mission to Leon’s discontent.
Leon “had” to kill the bad guy once he started mutating and Claire gets mad Leon, so she runs off and you have to rescue her.
And in the end Jill isn’t such a damsel in distress, cause she saves the day and kills Ada once and for all. Leon meets karma too quickly. And Barry comes in a chopper and extracts them from whatever 3rd world hellhole there are in this mission.
@@fernathebest414 Lots of weird shit happens in your story. Why would Jill kill Ada? Claire doesn't sound like Claire either.
and Chris and Claire team up!
@@taylorshank1638 That could happen. If they remake code veronica.
and keep everything in original style from ps1.
so, if characters with no personality aren't supposed to be on the list, why tf is a literal piece of tofu on here.
As well as agent 😂
you're right, it has no sense
Barbara811b M it has no sense? Try again.
Then it would be an hour long
metrohunter 2000 you misunderstood
Leon is one of the most badass character made by fiction ever. He is a top class combatent with the best combination of humur sense and serious personality. What a amazing character!!!
Best Leon S Kennedy, Hands down. You can tell by my Avatar Rolf!
I'm flattered.
Damn I miss my blonde hair
Even if I disagree with most of this list, at least Piers was ranked high.
He deserved a much higher rank though XD.
Capcom made a mistake by FUCKING KILLING HIM
Agreed
another potential future protagonist just killed off by capcom
If you spent 10 seconds actually researching this video,you would know claire is trained both in hand to hand and weapoks by chris who was over protective of het
Leon is still better tho
Bro he legit solo a whole cult who had a very deadly virus
Chris Redfield is my favorite RE character of all of them. The reason is because Resident Evil 5 is my 1st Resident Evil game. And that he always puts others before himself no matter what. Now that is a hero.
Jesus, I feel sorry for you there 😂
@@mrx7062 why?
@@Rollbrand370 because res 5 was your first resident evil game 😂
@@mrx7062 dude I was born in 2000.
@@Rollbrand370 have you played the originals??
Claire wasn't just an average person, she had training from her brother
bullshit
of course she was
She must have skipped boulder punching 101
Thr one who made these ranking either didn't know Claire capabilities thru Darkside chronicles OR ignores it
@@christian1neza1656 naver played it, was she an "amazon" bwaa haha
Piers is getting attentions yay
I like him so much
Me too, I hope capcom somehow manages to bring him back from death in the future😃💙💙
I really hope he comes back
Mine is Claire, definitely most improved character because she started as a regular-ass civilian in her debut game, just a teenage girl looking for her brother Chris. She tore the house down regardless! No need of special training xD. She proved herself and now she is a total badass.
But she did get trained by Chris. In the remake there's also a letter from her friend pointing that out.
Exactly
ACKCHUALLY, she was trained by her brother Chris *flips fedora on head*
@@daneman63 yes by her brother,not in military facility like others
It's also cool Claire never goes the super agent route like other iconic characters. She remained the most grounded.
At least my boy Keith had a voice actor, Agent just got Chris’s voice yelling “NOOOOOOO”
My favorite character list goes like this
1. Leon Scott Kennedy (what a surprise)
2. Jill Valentine
3. Chris MOTHAF*KING REDFIELD
4. Claire Redfield
5. Ethan Winters
with ease I agree
I agree too. I'd switch jill and Chris but other than that
Imagine putting jake muller near the bottom despite him having the most unique moveset out of all the characters and (Personally) being the most enjoyable character, and listing him so low cuz lol resident evil 6 bad
Yeah I love Jake too but since RE 6 was so hated we'll probably never see him again. :(
I liked re6 dont know why people hate it so much
I liked Sherry and Jake! It was the only good part of RE6
Worst part is RE6 was stil a decent game at its core, deserving at least 6-6,5/10 from me. It might not be the greatest game ever but it was still enjoyable. The game also shed more light on Chris.
EXACTLY, I think Jake gets such a bad rap despite his many positives. I really hope we see him again.
Leon and Jill will always be my favourites, they’re pretty much the face of the franchise.
Sucks they haven’t been together in any of the games, have they?
You mean chris,leon and jill from what I seen those 3 are the most popular and the face of the franchise
or_lionheart Chris punched a goddam boulder. Forever a face of the franchise no matter what. 😂along with Leon and Jill
@@feelsweirdman_1823 yes chris the all mighty boulder destroyer
Leon’s my favorite but Chris is the face of the franchise as he was the first playable character on resident evil
IT DOES SUCK! I've been wanting them in the same game ever since!
Chris redfield will always be my number 1
I got into the games fair late but one of the best memories of resident evil for me was when me and my brother would sit and play RE5 together and Chris from them was my favourite but getting to know the series better he still remains my favourite
Chris is indeed the number. Fu** Léon he is so bad
As my name implies I love Claire Redfield. She is a strong character. Sure Jill came before her and survived an incident and then escaped Raccoon City, but Claire had no prior knowledge of these undead monstrosities. She took care of Sherry Birkin, a little child running from her own father. Claire fought and killed William Birkin and saved that little girl. No matter what Claire will always be my hero and who I will strive to one day be. Someone who helps others before helping myself.
*confused
I'm very pleased to see that Leon made the top of the list. RE4 was the game that introduced me to the series, and Leon has been my favorite RE character ever since.
Just wanna say I opened this video with full intent to close it seeing as I said to myself "I'm not watching a 40 minute listicle" great list all around. Always enjoy Ben. Cant wait for the next list.
Especially "the "Ben from RE2 Original... The one we got in the Remake, nah, I don't like him... The same applies to RE2R's characters, except Marvin. The Original ones were greater, to my mind...
The list was shit and full of bias
I really hope Sheva alomar shows up in future installments
private jill was on the bad side in this story. Don't twist things when she was already included
@private private and you are just racist. Just because you never liked her. Are u also saying Josh stone was not supposed to be in
private private I’m pretty sure the racism stuff didn’t happen until after sheva was a thing, and she works great for Chris’s character development, maybe not herself very much, but I think re5 did a great job with Chris’s character and is honestly super underrated
private private it’s hard to tell what the plan was with re5, but I think it did a really good job and It’s way too underrated
@private private am sure the white man is bad. Y'all did come to Africa, colonies us and tried to establish freehold of our land and resources as yours. That did happen but some good whites saw the mistreatment and slavery and decided to end it and finally saw us as equals but there are still you who don't even like a fictional black character and just want the usual white characters as if sheva was made to replace jill. Get out of town!
Dude, Ethan isn't dumb, he's just a batshit crazy badass
I love Ethan, but he really is a bit of an idiot sometimes xD
LoL, no he is dumb as a rock. Like seriously, he is the worse protagonist in the series
What's crazy, is Jill and Leon have never met eachother.
It's possible that they've met offscreen. When Chris and Leon run into each other during the Resi 6 campaign, they talk as if they have known each other for a while. We need a new entry with Jill so she can officially meet Leon!
I must have missed that comment, that's awesome, cant say I blame Leon.. Ada sure going to be mad though 🤣, I bet putting those 2 in a game together would be epic, Plot: Stars member Jill joins secret service and partners with Leon, (insert new crazy bio outbreak mission plot here) lol
Chris at number 6? The disrespect of the OG character and Resident Evil as a whole. And Tofu ranked higher than other important characters and characters with personality? The bias is real with this one
Also "no extra modes"
>includes extra modes from re2 remake.
This list is shit
Jus salty ur fav character didng get number 1 😂😂

The entire time I was hoping I'd get to hear you say Leon was #1 on the list, lmao. I'm very glad my dreams came true XD
Jill my favorite character she been through a lot out of every character
Same applies to Leon or Chris or Claire...
Leon fought an entire army of Los plagas on his own, but try again
1. Barry.
The best version of Leon is in Resident Evil 4, he was just perfect in that game, especially the voice acting. Paul Mercier did a fantastic job.

1 Jill Valentine
2 Moira Burton
3 Claire Redfield
4 Jessica sherawat
5 Sheva Alomar
6 Rachel Foley
7 Ada Wong
8 Rebecca Chambers
9 Sherry Birkin
10 Albert Wesker
Wait what about Leon
I was surprised at how much I liked Moira. She brings a unique, fresh feeling to the series. Go Moira!!
Moira is one of the best characters in revelations 2 for real especially with her DLC
Imagine:
A resident evil game starring:
Keith
Ashley
Steve
Agent
It would be comedy gold.
In the next RE Ada Wong will be trying to find the coronavirus sample
Ada is an iconic queen. I'm convinced Bella Goth is a stan. 😂😂
