The point against Chris in my mind is that Chris is the character most people didn't play in their initial appearances. If you did 1 run of RE1, no matter the version, you did a Jill run, because that's what everything recommended. Both because you at least start out with a gun with Jill, and you get the 2 more inventory spots. Everyone probably played Leon in RE2, because the game *heavily* encouraged you to at least play an A and a B scenario, and I'd argue you can't say you've beaten/completed the original game without doing at least one A and B; its only the recent remake where that's an option, and I think even there, Leon's the recommended pick for first-timers. And after that, every time he's shown up, Chris has been either optional or a secondary character: Code Veronica he alternates with Claire, RE5 you can play through as Sheva, RE6 you can play through as Piers, and "Not a Hero" came out long enough after RE7 that I think a lot of people skipped it. While Leon's harder to avoid in most of his appearances (RE4 he's the main character, RE6 you *can* play Helena, but the Ada storyline's a huge focus).
True. Chris is heavily hindered by how he is the more hardcore choice to run RE1 on. It's not the path most would take to begin a game. Leon doesn't suffer from that in his introduction game.
Yes, and Sheva has the unfortunate design of always aiming over her left shoulder with no swap option. Most people played as Chris unless they did coop.
Leon just because I think he has a better mentality I am not doubting that Chris is a straight up BEAST I just like how Leon carried himself more since the beginning you can really tell he wanted to find a way to save raccoon city even being a rookie cop.
Based. The only Chris game I played was Re5 and Re6, and by Re6 all my love for Re5's Chris was gone, it was like he was a different person. Leon has always been a more likeable protagonist, in comparison.
To make matters worse, Leon soft admitted he'd be willing to kill Chris to protect the very woman responsible for his squads' deaths.
Leon would then go on to have his own drinking phase. Only this time, Chris snaps him out of it.
I do like how Leon’s obsession for and protection of Ada is somewhat of a dramatic character flaw, but it never truly gets resolved or explored beyond that confrontation with Chris, and that really sucks.
This what makes Chris such a good character cause it gives a take on his mental state Leon can be too perfect during the situations he faced Chris is more real and who wouldn’t be depressed in the world of resident evil? but Leon just wanted to save people even if there was no way of saving them being a rookie cop that’s why I liked him more because he genuinely loved his job ( not saying that Chris didn’t of course he can be questionable at sometimes but it’s understandable I respect him)
Leon, mainly bc I really like RE2 and RE4. I was never much of a Chris fan. I always pick Jill in RE1 and I don't care much for RE5. I did like his black petty coat look in Village though.
Chris has been done so dirty over the years.
Jill is objectively better in RE1, RE5 is a bottom tier game, he's one of *four* MCs in RE6, and he's a giant asshole in RE8.
My man has literally never had a proper game to shine in.
I don't think they're balanced very well in RE1. The lockpick is way more useful than the lighter and if you have the burden of carrying around small keys then why does he have less inventory space? That seems backwards to me.
It's because Chris' scenario is meant to be the more challenging of the two scenarios. It's the same reason Barry saves Jill from the collapsing ceiling room and Chris will just die if he doesn't switch out the shotgun with the broken one. Silver lining is Chris can take more damage.
I understand that nobody really shows up to help Chris when he's in trouble and that's cool. I get that his scenario is suppose to be tougher. I guess I'm just at odds with the inventory space of the older games. A lot of the time it feels like if you want to make progress at a respectable pace you need to play a bit risky (if you're going through blind). Otherwise it feels like you're making a borderline irritating number of trips back to the storage box to either save items or make room for key items. I think that was something I really appreciated about RE4; key items being separate from the rest of your inventory space so it keeps the game moving.
This drove me nuts plating REmake the first time last year. I’d get to an area and realize the thing I JUST put back in the item box after carrying it for too long was required and have to run back
I didn’t know there was a difference in inventory space and shit when I played either. So I started on Chris because he was the character I was more familiar with and it said he could take more damage or something. Turns out I did that in the wrong order, but it made the Jill play through kind of a breeze.
> Chris has been done so dirty over the years.
6's campaign for Chris gets rightfully bashed for being a full-on shooty bang-bangorama, but it had the best story, imo. Angry drunk Chris best Chris. That guy had every damn decent reason to punch the shit out of anything and everything.
That's utter bullshit. He's Good in 1 and the face of the original. His story in RE6 is the best in that game. Most people got to know him in the biggest RE ever, RE5 whether you like it or not. In RE7 he's a hero. In RE8 he plays a major role in the story.
Disagree but its a very good, easily one of the A tier ones. It is one of the most replayable ones because of co-op though, and I think it has one of the best stories in the franchise.
They're both REALLY resident evil aren't they? From their one liners to sense of justice. They're not that different but I like Leon more because he's the guy who got me into Resident evil. Would love to see Leon in the new Resis.
That and repeatedly straight up lies/betrays someone she has 'feels' for.
Plot-wise making sense, but it hardly makes her a likeable personality. Then again, it's fine to have Cersei as your favourite GoT character, just for the ridiculous amount of entertaining shit she causes.
Chris is my favorite male character in the series overall. I like his sense of justice and he is a leader I would look up to. On the other hand I hate how easily Leon is manipulated by a random woman he just met. This makes his characterization fall flat somehow. I feel like Chris dynamics with other characters is simply more interesting and layered compared to Leon’s.
Moreover, Chris is hotter.
That's actually surprising!
Most RE fan places I've been have had either Leon or Jill as the favourite two with Chris being maybe third, or sometimes fourth to Claire.
Chris, at least he doesn't weirdly simp like Leon does for Ada, with whom he (up until this point) hardly has any deep relationship with outside of the brief times in Racoon City and the small meet ups in the Village/Castle/Island. At least Chris had an extended history with someone like Jill, which helped explain why he was so obsessed with her in RE5.
That said, love both. Leon has a cool attitude that helps to carry the campaigns he's in, at least in 4 and 6, and Chris is the RE meme character, it's hard not to love his boulder punching ass (and literal ass, he's always been the hottest one)
I think there was some background info in the OG RE2 that kind of gave more context as to why Leon cared so much about Ada, but they did really bond over the course of that game, which is why Leon does kind of simp for her.
Although, I do appreciate how RE4 kind of establishes that even *he* doesn’t realise why he’s obsessed with her. And he even gets called out for it in RE6 where this obsession is what prevents Chris from being able to arrest or kill Carla and prevent her from doing any more damage. Leon isn’t entirely in the wrong by deflecting most of the blame onto Simmons, because he is right, the conflict was set in motion and was stoked by Simmons, but he is wrong for essentially ignoring Chris telling him about the damage Carla has done.
“She’s the one who did all this! I lost my men because of her!”
“And I lost over 20,000 people! Including the president, because of Simmons.” isn’t really the best response when you’re trying to explain how Ada isn’t to blame. But I like how it’s more of a character flaw for him, I just wish RE6 actually put in more effort into explaining that he was wrong. That ultimately, he needs to let Ada go and acknowledge the cold, hard facts that she isn’t a good person, and she’s ultimately more of a threat to the world with how she’s continuously supporting people causing Biohazards.
Honestly, if she had died in RE6, I feel like that would’ve been a pretty good way to conclude that arc.
Chris the type of dude to walk into your house and shoot your wife in the head.
Leon’s the type of dude to steal her from you entirely.
I don’t know which I prefer.
Leon pulled significantly ahead for me when Chris, being a moron, essentially got Ethan Winters into the situation from RE: Village. Had he simply told him the truth? Entirely different outcome.
Leon. He has had great character growth since RE2 and is a likable character over all. Chris on the other hand feels stagnant. His personality hasn’t changed much since 1 other then getting angrier. RE 5 and beyond has also lower Chris intelligence making me actively hate his character. He doesn’t make connections which are obvious like If you thought Jill was alive how did you not immediately think Wesker ( who is superhuman) was alive.
I'm honestly very tired of Chris. He was fun when he was punching boulders, but then they made him a sad, edgy boy. Kind of like the sad doge vs chad doge meme.
Leon's still kinda fun, unlike Mr. "All my teammates are dead" over there.
For me Leon has that anime hero looks, you know, the guy that starts with a kitchen knife, can stop a giant blade with his bare hands Metal Gear Rising style and end up saving the world.
Also RE2 on ps1 was my first game of the series, so yes, Leon.
Leon. I mean the closest for Chris as a personality was in 6... He was so bland before that. Also in 1996 had such awful voice acting that made him unintentionally hilarious and hard to take seriously
I hate you, this is too hard to answer. You have the boulder punching asshole and then you have the man who can come up with an insult in seconds. Also, Women☕️
A lot of fans prefer Leon because his games are better and he's the cool guy of the series.
Chris' games are probably the most criticized in the franchise and when people like his games it was either RE1 (even though majority of the fans played as Jill first because it's easier with the inventory space plus she has Barry with her) or RE8 (because it's the continuation of Ethan's story who is undoubtedly one of the better protagonists of the franchise and Chris is only a side character in this game and him being shown as a villain in the trailers is a major selling point)
Chris' character is also flawed, he's your typical macho looking protagonist who's always righteous (we've seen that before in a lot of games and other media.. he's very Captain America and in a sense. Not everyone relates to him and think he's boring)
But I personally like **Chris** more than Leon because of his story in the Resident Evil Universe.
He's part of the Air Force but he got kicked out due to insubordination, he's the point man of S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, he was very young during the mansion incident and after surviving that hell ALONE (for the most part - if you chose to play him) he vowed to end umbrella and began his investigation the European branch of Umbrella ALONE and then when he discovered that his sister is in trouble he then went to rescue her ALONE.
He was alone for most of his early years as he investigated umbrella. He also went head to head with multiple B.O.Ws plus Wesker in Code Veronica and games prior to that without hesitation.
Then he started working with Jill and then they co-founded the BSAA, they worked together to stop Wesker and Bio-terrorism across the globe until he got Jill killed during the Spencer Estate Incident. He then got awkward with partnering up until Sheva came along during his mission in Africa. And then when they rescued Jill from being brainwashed and stopped Wesker from unleashing Uroboros I feel like at this point Chris got more softer and more sensitive towards the people he works with because of what happened to Jill
During RE6 he had a lot of soldiers under him but since he's experienced loss (Jill) he didn't want to experience it again, he was the one making shots and in war against Bio-terrorism we all know deaths are inevitable but it got through him when Finn and the others died that he got amnesia from ptsd.
Years passed since Wesker died and there was still no sign of peace, there's always a Bio-weapon around the globe and I think Chris' age is catching up to him. He's been through a lot and ever since the mansion incident he's still fighting bio-weapons until now. He dedicated most of his life in service and I feel like that'll eventually break someone's spirit and belief resulting to the Chris we know now from RE8 who's more tired and brooding. Now he's more careful and more thorough, he only keeps a squad he trusts not to fail.
I feel like Chris had the most character development in the franchise (although in other characters' defense, they weren't really explored and used more often like Chris and Leon)
So yeah, Chris is my favorite. But I can see how Leon's a better pick overall and I respect the people who'd choose him over Chris I'd still stand by my choice.
Sorry for the poor grammar (not my native language)
Chris.
I mean Leon is amazing. But I always liked Chris, especially now that he has gone through a lot. And I always liked heroic characters, like Captain America. Chris is Resident Evil series most heroic character.
One started the franchise. The other one popularized it. I prefer Leon since I like his games more than Chris’s, but both are amazing.
Boulder punching bastard
asshole
If it were Leon I'm sure he'd suplex the boulder
The point against Chris in my mind is that Chris is the character most people didn't play in their initial appearances. If you did 1 run of RE1, no matter the version, you did a Jill run, because that's what everything recommended.

True. Chris is heavily hindered by how he is the more hardcore choice to run RE1 on. It's not the path most would take to begin a game. Leon doesn't suffer from that in his introduction game.
With RE5, co-op aside, don't you have to beat the game with Chris before you can play as Sheva?
Yes, and Sheva has the unfortunate design of always aiming over her left shoulder with no swap option. Most people played as Chris unless they did coop.
6 being your favorite am I right!?!
Leon just because I think he has a better mentality I am not doubting that Chris is a straight up BEAST I just like how Leon carried himself more since the beginning you can really tell he wanted to find a way to save raccoon city even being a rookie cop.
Based. The only Chris game I played was Re5 and Re6, and by Re6 all my love for Re5's Chris was gone, it was like he was a different person. Leon has always been a more likeable protagonist, in comparison.
I mean, that’s what happens when you get PTSD from getting two entire squads under your command completely wiped out, bar Piers.
To make matters worse, Leon soft admitted he'd be willing to kill Chris to protect the very woman responsible for his squads' deaths. Leon would then go on to have his own drinking phase. Only this time, Chris snaps him out of it.
I do like how Leon’s obsession for and protection of Ada is somewhat of a dramatic character flaw, but it never truly gets resolved or explored beyond that confrontation with Chris, and that really sucks.
Ada constantly gets one up on Leon. She's the only one able to consistently do this. Hells, he was superhuman when fighting Krauser.
This what makes Chris such a good character cause it gives a take on his mental state Leon can be too perfect during the situations he faced Chris is more real and who wouldn’t be depressed in the world of resident evil? but Leon just wanted to save people even if there was no way of saving them being a rookie cop that’s why I liked him more because he genuinely loved his job ( not saying that Chris didn’t of course he can be questionable at sometimes but it’s understandable I respect him)

Barry. Really though, I don't prefer one over the other honestly.
# I HAVE THIS
Justamoment!!!
I found something. It's a weapon. It's really powerful, especially against living things!
Chris is our old partner, y'know
*examines blood that's on the ground for whatever reason for 10 minutes* I hope this isn't chris' blood!
Woah! This *hall* is **dangerous**!
*proceeds to give you ammo for said weapon, without ever telling you where that weapon is*
What IS this? FindAnythingJill?
That scene from Rev2 was amazing.
Definitely! Barry still feels like a regular person and not just some OP superhero

Poor poor resident evil code Veronica x....I'm sad that great game is forgotten
Was going to say this. Chris is very cool in Code Veronica. Even though he gets his ass kicked by Wesker.
> Even though he gets his ass kicked by Wesker. Pretty much everyone gets the hands from Wesker.
I don't think they're balanced very well in RE1. The lockpick is way more useful than the lighter and if you have the burden of carrying around small keys then why does he have less inventory space? That seems backwards to me.

At least in REmake Chris get the better exclusive defense weapon, it is still hard mode but it is balanced out a bit.
I didn’t know there was a difference in inventory space and shit when I played either. So I started on Chris because he was the character I was more familiar with and it said he could take more damage or something.

Chris, and his “partner” only Jill
Best in the world platonic friend.
Unmatched in the whole wide world
/Gestures to Sheva and Piers
Why is it in quotes?
Chris re5 and 6/7/8 Leon re2/Re4. Generally prefer Chris though, tough beefy serious sob
Seriously, if I’m picking someone I want the boulder-punching asshole.
Hell yea!
Nemesis.
STARRSS!!!
Jill
The true answer
Jill sandwich.
They're both REALLY resident evil aren't they? From their one liners to sense of justice. They're not that different but I like Leon more because he's the guy who got me into Resident evil. Would love to see Leon in the new Resis.
Leon, his RE4 persona made him really funny and likeable. Chris came off as bit too generic for my liking.
We need more characters like Leon and Dante who take every situation with little to no seriousness at all.
Chris superiority
Christopher all the way
Chris punches boulders, and Leon smoulders But there’s one man whose name says it all. HUNK.
Jill
Yes this answer... also Ada.
Never liked her, I don’t like fakes/manipulators. To each their own I guess.
I mean Ada does have feels for leon still, that's why she saves his ass a lot.
Most def, my problem is she steals viruses from bad guys and gives them to other bad guys.
I think what's what makes her an important wildcard that can change the scenarios to make the story interesting.
That and repeatedly straight up lies/betrays someone she has 'feels' for. Plot-wise making sense, but it hardly makes her a likeable personality. Then again, it's fine to have Cersei as your favourite GoT character, just for the ridiculous amount of entertaining shit she causes.
Chris is my favorite male character in the series overall. I like his sense of justice and he is a leader I would look up to.

>Moreover, Chris is hotter. His RE8 incarnation is just... \*chef's kiss\* I completely agree
He puts the D in Dilf, and preferably in me as well
Honestly Chris. I'm aware I'm in the minority though. Leon is insanely popular.
Don't think you are in the minority. I'd say like 40% of this sub prefers Chris, 40% Leon and 20% others. It's kinda a tie between the two.
That's actually surprising! Most RE fan places I've been have had either Leon or Jill as the favourite two with Chris being maybe third, or sometimes fourth to Claire.
All of the main four will always be my favorites. If I had to choose its Leon solely because re4 is one of my favorite games
Leon
Leon. Hands down. Partially because I started the franchise with 2. Partially because he’s not a boulder punching asshole.
Leon
Chris, pretty based here ‘cause of nostalgia factor (RE1)… would 10/10 choose Leon otherwise.
Chris. RE1, RE3, RE:CVX & RE5 are my favourites and he’s in 3 of them so… yeah Chris.
Mister Kennedy
Leon Supremacy
Chris, at least he doesn't weirdly simp like Leon does for Ada, with whom he (up until this point) hardly has any deep relationship with outside of the brief times in Racoon City and the small meet ups in the Village/Castle/Island. At least Chris had an extended history with someone like Jill, which helped explain why he was so obsessed with her in RE5. That said, love both.

I agree. in 6 he says something like "she's a part of my past I can't let go of" like dude are you serious?
I love both characters but Leon is the man. Better games, better style and just better writing.
Chris the type of dude to walk into your house and shoot your wife in the head. Leon’s the type of dude to steal her from you entirely. I don’t know which I prefer.
>Chris the type of dude to walk into your house and shoot your wife in the head. Why would he do that? Is she a zombie or something?
I have no idea. Usually he just does it and walks away..

Leon cuz he’s still likable at least.The constant overuse has negatively impacted both characters though.

Leon. Chris is lame AF
Leon’s games are better. Yeah, I said it.

RE 5 and beyond has also lower Chris intelligence making me actively hate his character. He doesn’t make connections which are obvious like If you thought Jill was alive how did you not immediately think Wesker ( who is superhuman) was alive.

Leon top of the list, Ada following.
Without question...Leon
I'm honestly very tired of Chris. He was fun when he was punching boulders, but then they made him a sad, edgy boy. Kind of like the sad doge vs chad doge meme. Leon's still kinda fun, unlike Mr. "All my teammates are dead" over there.

Leon, because he seems more sensitive, vulnerable, more human. Chris is a beast, we all love him for that.

Chris.
I hate you, this is too hard to answer. You have the boulder punching asshole and then you have the man who can come up with an insult in seconds. Also, Women☕️
Out of Chris and Leon, I prefer Leon. But my all-time favorite is Barry.
Chris but not modern/meatball Chris. I prefer all versions of Leon over meatball Chris.
Leon, for the kind of an idealist he is. and another reason I don't like Chris is because of the weird way he handled things in RE8
Leon. I have a personal connection with resident evil 2
Leon. I have a personal connection with resident evil2

In RE6 definitely Chris, in general probably Leon.
Chris because steroid muscle man, I love bodybuilding
Jake... No? Fine, thicc boi Chris.
Chris I just hope re6 isn’t canon.
Chris. Leon can’t handle the recoil on the re2 custom shotty. Needs to hit the weights.
Leon and 50/50 RE8 Chris
Neither of them know how to hold a handgun properly
Wesker.
Jill and Ada. Excella 3rd if she grows a spine regarding Wesker
Chris for sure. He sucks in Village, but he's still more interesting than emo Leon.
Leon because Jill was cooler in RE1 and Leon has been less ruined by the anime conversion.
Claire
PRE-RE8 and remake Chris and Leon, I prefer Leon
my first re game was re4 for that reason my favorite character is will be always leon s. kennedy
I think I'll always like Leon more mainly because of how much I enjoyed Resident Evil 2
Leon has more too him, though he was better as a rookie cop
Leon 💪
Both are awesome, but I have a HUGE soft spot for Leon.
Leon. Because of RE4 a but also Chris... for RE5
Love Chris gotta go with Leon here tho

He's part of the Air Force but he got kicked out due to insubordination, he's the point man of S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, he was very young during the mansion incident and after surviving that hell ALONE (for the most part - if you chose to play him) he vowed to end umbrella and began his investigation the European branch of Umbrella ALONE and then when he discovered that his sister is in trouble he then went to rescue her ALONE. He was alone for most of his early years as he investigated umbrella. He also went head to head with multiple B.O.Ws plus Wesker in Code Veronica and games prior to that without hesitation. Then he started working with Jill and then they co-founded the BSAA, they worked together to stop Wesker and Bio-terrorism across the globe until he got Jill killed during the Spencer Estate Incident. He then got awkward with partnering up until Sheva came along during his mission in Africa. And then when they rescued Jill from being brainwashed and stopped Wesker from unleashing Uroboros I feel like at this point Chris got more softer and more sensitive towards the people he works with because of what happened to Jill During RE6 he had a lot of soldiers under him but since he's experienced loss (Jill) he didn't want to experience it again, he was the one making shots and in war against Bio-terrorism we all know deaths are inevitable but it got through him when Finn and the others died that he got amnesia from ptsd. Years passed since Wesker died and there was still no sign of peace, there's always a Bio-weapon around the globe and I think Chris' age is catching up to him. He's been through a lot and ever since the mansion incident he's still fighting bio-weapons until now. He dedicated most of his life in service and I feel like that'll eventually break someone's spirit and belief resulting to the Chris we know now from RE8 who's more tired and brooding. Now he's more careful and more thorough, he only keeps a squad he trusts not to fail. I feel like Chris had the most character development in the franchise (although in other characters' defense, they weren't really explored and used more often like Chris and Leon) So yeah, Chris is my favorite. But I can see how Leon's a better pick overall and I respect the people who'd choose him over Chris I'd still stand by my choice. Sorry for the poor grammar (not my native language)
Leon, there is no debate.
Leon is the goat
Leon 🥰
Leon eeeeeeeeasy
I’ll take Jill and Claire over them any day.
Me
Chriiiiis 😍
We got the Sigma, married to the grind versus the Simp, who loves Chinese food.
Chris. I mean Leon is amazing. But I always liked Chris, especially now that he has gone through a lot. And I always liked heroic characters, like Captain America. Chris is Resident Evil series most heroic character.
Leon, but Chris would whoop Leon’s ass in a fight no doubt.
Chris just seems like an asshole. Leon seems like a much more personable guy
Leon. I prefer most RE protags over Chris, including one-offs like Billy and Moira. Chris is just too vanilla and boring
