Just to clear things up...Leon > Chris.
IYO of course.

Yeah and how many years has it been since her "demise?" He should've moved on and try not to dwell on the past 'cause that'll always hurt.
In a lot of cases, yeah, but in Chris's case, I thought it ultimately made him stronger. At least, after reading this bit of his character file transcript from RE5.
"No one knows what promises Chris made in front of Jill’s empty grave, but following her loss, he redoubled his efforts to eradicate all bio-organic weapons whereabout they may be. Initially stationed at BSAA’s North American Branch, his investigations soon took him around the world. He became involved in so many operations that he soon had more missions to his name than any other BSAA member.
During one of his investigations, Chris learned of an upcoming bioweapons deal in Africa in connection with a man named Ricardo Irving. Irvng’s name has come up quite often of late in association with bioweapons smuggling.
After informing the BSAA African Branch about Irving, Chris urgently requested permission to participate in the operation to arrest Irving.
As for the reasons he wished to participate in this mission, Chris would not comment. Whether he is witholding information or not is unclear.
As one of the most respected BSAA agents, his presence in this operation greatly increases the chances of success, thus his request has been granted."
Even you gotta admit he has great resolve and a badass unbreakable will to completely finish off Umbrella, yes?

Leon never seemed to mope that much since after Ada's "death." He also didn't seem to dwell on it that much and (like I said before) moved on.
The difference between that though and the thing with Chris and Jill is that Jill's body was never found after her "death", making it even harder for Chris, with the whole "not knowing for sure" thing getting to him as well. If the opposite were true, I think Chris probably would've handled Jill's 'death' differently, to some extent.

Yeah but at least Leon did kick Krauser's arse in the second encounter on that island and also defeated his mutated form which made him faster and more deadly to boot.
Mah point remains the same though, or it could just be that Krauser > Leon when it comes to knives, but yeah.

My main issue with Chris is what he is now in case you forgot. I was saying that he was better off the way he was before 5. Indeed, being able to piss off Wesker is quite a feat but he did most of that outside of 5. What Chris was doing to Wesker in that game was annoying him and wasn't really pissing him off until PIS came in like unexpected herpes.
Yeah. That much is true, admittedly.

I forgot to say this but during those successful quicktime events with Wesker, all that did was get Chris beat up even less. When Chris countered Wesker's finger impalement move on the plane, he got an uppercut to the face.
Even still, being able to counter Wesker at all like that was rather impressive, on his part, despite that Wesker was weakened from the overdose of his serum.
