The only part i don't agree with is having Leon run away while leaving ada holding the bag ( because leon's smart )
Leon is Genius, not cowardice. Wesker is the real coward, having to rely on his little Potions to extend his man-hood just to get on in the world.Ashley from RE4 is more of a man than Wesker ever was.
Oh yes you do.I'm in agreement, but you also don't mess with dudes who will throw missiles at you to hide that cowardice.
We also know Ada disobeys orders to help Leon. They'd both lose because Ada would stay behind to help Leon. She'd probably convince him to run though. Leon ain't stupid. He knows he'd get owned and Ada isn't a good hand to hand fighter so they couldn't even double team him like Chris and Jill or Chris and Sheva. The key here is Chris is instinctive and strong, Jill is a brawler and gets dirty, and Sheva's a good fighter and doesn't stay down. Ada... she keeps her distance which you can't really do against someone like Wesker. Leon thinks fast, but Wesker thinks faster. Leon always makes it out because he uses his head. In a battle of wits, Wesker's got everyone beat. Leon and Ada are fundamentally beaten.
It'd depend on luck being the deciding factor.
Now if it was Leon and Claire, that might be a little different -luck or not.
Does Wesker really think faster? Leon surely has much more combat experience. As far as a combat situation goes, Leon is smarter. Ada seems to have some nice moves, nice enough to constantly have slo-mo in all of her fight scenes.
Luck, that is one word that I would use to describe Leon, I think something like that would happen, something really lucky.
Wesker is much smarter than Leon, but in the final fight in RE5, he's under the effects of Uroboros and the large ammount of serum.
I don't think Leon has much more combat experience, as he mostly dealt with biohazards, at least until he started to work directly under the orders of the president... And Wesker has also dealt with a lot of biohazards, and i'm sure he had trained a lot for a combat situation. Leon would really need A BIG LOT of luck.
Ada, in the other hand, though not very smart, knows how to take advantage of the situation and can be very unpredictable, so she'd have a little more chances than Leon. However, she seems to be very poor at hand-to-hand combat, though no one could defeat Wesker in hand-to-hand (not even Chris).
Wesker's downfall was the fact that he "toyed" with Chris. I guess due to the history, he wanted to savour the moment where he finally ridded of Chris, and was trying to figure out the best way and the most satisfactory way of killing him. I feel this is what backfired against him, as Chris had multiple opportunities to stop Wesker, and eventually succeeded.
I don't think Leon and Ada would get off the hook so easily, and Wesker would have no reason to spare them or "toy" with them if they were to ever tangle. Because let's face it, Wesker is obviously more powerful than everyone else. He's probably smarter too, being a scientist and all.
Oh, and Chris is a lot more battle savvy than Leon and Ada to start with as well anyway...
Agreed. Wesker just lost his mind.
As for Leon having more experience... need I remind people that he was a capable leader of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team and had already been thuroughly trained in combat and anti-BOW tactics before Leon even started his first day on the job in RPD? Come on now. Wesker tops everyone in the experience department with the exception of a few who he doesn't have an arch-enemy status with, such as Barry and Billy. Even then, I'm not sure to what extent Billy's training is. He was a considerable rank during the Ecliptic Express incident so he could possibly be up there. Barry for certain simply due to age and having bounced around in similar lines of work. Leon's fresh meat. Can't pull that one.
Don't forget that Wesker was inolved with a lot of biohazards while he was working for the Third Organization (between RE1 and LIN). He had to fight off some BOW's, negotiate with powerful criminals and be ready for any kind of hostilities.Although we didin't see most of these scenes, he had to do a lot of jobs similar to Ada's so they'd have money for their plans.
Actually, Wesker has no ties at all with The Organization. I was talking about the Third Organization, for which he worked since the mansion incident and until it's possible dissolution between LIN and RE5. I think he got ownership of the 3rd Org after he retrieved Umbrella's backup in 2003, or at least he jumped into one of the highest ranks. All he did there was collect data and biological samples, and make a lot of money, which he later used to help Tricell's BOW department (better speaking: to seduce Excella) and start the Uroboros plan.
