@AWDCP

My dream RE game, be RE7 or RE20 is

Chris/Sherry,
Carlos/Jill,
Leon/Claire,
Billy/Rebecca,

the villain should be Alex Wesker.
and Steve could fit in there somewhere.

Jake should just die.  I really, really don't like him or Ada for that matter. lol

But then if Claire was in the game, someone's going to complain about her doing all of those action moves even though it's been 15 years since she was in a canon game (Degeneration and VC wouldn't count as canon games). Honestly, I think Leon's going to die because of Ada. That whole taking a bone bullet for Ada during the Simmons fight is just a hint of foreshadow.

That just seems like too big of a list of characters. I'd rather just see Jake and Claire. That's it. They can delve into other characters in other games.

Cut out Rebbeca and Barry then. Jake, Claire, Steve, and HUNK. Four characters for the entire game.  

I'd also cut out Steve because he's dead, and Hunk because he's not in a cannonical story line and more use to a mini-game instead of a story.

Degeneration and VC are considered canon. I'm not sure if the RE5 viral videos are canon or not, but if they are, Claire was also featured in one of those with Chris and they were target practicing.

Also, I really hope that Leon doesn't die because of Ada. That would be so cliche and upsetting. I dislike her.
However, I don't see Leon dying anyways, he is one of the many fan favorites.

Yea they were canon, but they weren't games. What I meant to say was that she hasn't been playable in a canon game since Code Veronica. It's been 15 years and she's friends with two government agents so it'd still make sense if she can do some of the things that Leon and Sherry can do.

What someone needs to do is destroy that grapple gun that Ada has. Then shoot her in the legs so she can die via B.O.Ws.

Umm... 4th Survivor is fully canon. Also, he was already supposed to have one full game to his name so discrediting him like that really goes nowhere.

Like that was a spy's only means of survival.

Adas Legs and Ass are untouchable zone! Shoot her wherever you want up the belt, but below it everything is untouchable . . .

And he was mentioned in CV/X. In a File. Still Alive after another successful mission.

For Ada (mostly) yes. Had it not been for that grapple gun, she may not have been able to escape Raccoon City. She got it and used it in that Umbrella Chronicles scenario showing her after the events of getting smashed by Mr. X.

@Nobudy, Who says can't do stuff like Leon and Sherry?
Like you said she has them as friends and her brother.

It's quite clear she can take care of herself. Who knows what's she learned since the movie.

I'm in full agreement about Ada. Then again, any way she dies would be fine with me. lol

She is trained in her craft. The grapple gun may help her in her missions but it certainly isn't her only means of survival.

That reminds me so much of that part in Damnation where she pulled a daughter of all flexibility. I guess it's just Ada's cockiness that irritates me to the point where I want her dead. It wasn't all too present in 2, 4 had it in acceptable proportions, but Damnation and 6 had it to the point where I wanted one of those super Tyrants to smack Ada around instead of Leon.
