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.

Zero May Cry is objectively the funniest MVC team to me because I can't stop imagining in a shared Capcom universe, Zero just being close friends with Dante and Vergil who bonded during the events of MVC3 in the fight against Galactus and the shenanigans that could come because of this friendship.

And honestly... I think my favorite concept is imagining Dante keeping in contact with Zero, especially after the events of DMC1 when he found out Vergil was Nelo Angelo and that he was seemingly dead, and calls him up to meet with the then 16-17 year old Nero as his unofficial uncle years later after DMC4.

The interaction I'm imagining devolves into Nero is just looking down at this half pint shorter than him who's been friends with Dante since his early years of running Devil May Cry and has several questions.

Meanwhile Zero is just looking at Nero before noticing he's holding Yamato and can see Dante making every gesture to keep him silent he can make behind Nero's back and has several questions.

Also X & Axl are there too, because of course.
