#mvc3

Still obsessed with the (U)MVC3 model for Wesker after ... 15 years...?! I used to be kinda EH at aspects of MVC3's cel-shading, but I really appreciate it now that games are even more obsessed with every-pore-visible realism and copy-paste scanning and realistic mocap. MVC3'S Wesker has the best aspects of RE5's middle-aged crinkly version, but sculpted by hand rather than scanned directly from a real person. So you get artist's choices like accentuating the cheekbones, nose bridge, and the TINY WAIST with LONG LEGS. That waist to thigh proportion got me gnawing at the air for a bite. 🐶🦴

Also something funny about Wesker and Deadpool being the main 4th wall breakers in the game, fucking with the camera-person.

Mfw, she wanna take you for a ride.

Wesker has purple stink lines constantly emanating from him. Bad kimochi, or unwashed puddy? You decide. In Resident Evil 5, he only has black smoke surrounding him when he's doing his runs. The purple is an interesting choice.

2. He does this little kung fu warm-up flourish before his Rhino Charge super. Gotta stretch the wrists before you rip out their heart. This isn't a flourish that I recognize as transposed from Resident Evil 5. Really emphasizes that Wesker's fighting style is formal martial arts to match his intentionally manufactured and composed nature. Versus Jill's "feral stance" or Chris's brute force punching + wrestling moves.

3. Lost in Nightmares super. Again with the martial arts flourish cutscene before the actual animation. More purple associated with Wesker in this game, though usually his associated color is indigo blue. And of course, gotta love the entire missile being thrown. This version of Wesker throwing a missile is much more cinematic and stylized than RE5's version, I like it a lot!

4. You know I gotta do it to 'em with the chikyo chagi axe kick. Cute little chokeslam to call back to what he does to Chris in the RE5 DLC, chokeslams are VERY villain coded moves in wrestling. Usually reserved for the wrestlers who are over 6'7", like Tyrant sized dudes. But hey, Wesker at 6'3" is tall enough to be able to flex over Chris with his heel tactic.

God I love Haggar

He lets me Steel Pipe and Lariat my enemies into a bloody coma (ദ്ദി˙ᗜ˙)
