Description
I actually like Sheva quite a lot, and I think she's definitely one of the smarter females in the RE series (Wonky AI aside. If we're judging character intelligence by AI, then Wesker is the dumbest guy in the series because he is godawful during the Lisa fight of the first game), but my partner who was playing her got a little...confused during this fight.Based on a true story. My friend just didn't realize what we were supposed to be doing. That's her excuse, anyway
Fortunately, in reality, she missed. However, this was hardly the first time during that boss that she tried to kill me. We had the infinite ammo Rocket launcher, so she kept spamming rockets at Wesker regardless of the fact that a) he would just dodge them and b) he was RUNNING TOWARDS ME. Also, it was a very bad idea for me to turn the lights off, considering her track record of mistaking me for an enemy. God, I think she did more damage to me than Wesker did
. She has it out for me, I swear.Though to be fair, I never really told her what we were supposed to do because I wanted to mess around and make it last longer
(No she's not really that bad I'm just exaggerating for comedic effect)
Technical notes: I actually tried to be subtle and neutral in the coloring for once. It should be noted that "subtle" and "I" do not go well together. I think I prefer the ultra shiny coloring style, even if it takes longer, if only because I am part magpie.
Morbid question: If one is blown to pieces in an explosion, will the pieces still bleed or would they be cauterized? I would like to add some lovely blood puddles under those dismembered limbs, but I don't know if that would be accurate.
EDIT: Never mind, the blood looked...odd, given the cartoony style.
Finally, why is it so hard to find good reference pics of the dang rocket launcher front a front view?!

There's this running joke on the internet that RE5 Chris stuffs his biceps with watermelons. So, it made sense to me that if he blew up into pieces, one of the pieces would contain a watermelon.

You think that would hurt... cramming watermelons into your arms...

Haha, yeah never though of that. It would explain the bulk, though.

Yes, yes that is a watermelon.

Wait isn't chris on steroids?so it would be
Impossible for him to blow up?
Idk love the comic

I'll admit I'm not an expert on steroids, but I don't think one of the side effects is invincibility to rockets. Big muscles don't help much when explosions are involved.

*Raises hand* I got confused too, and spammed the IRL.

This reminds me of the first time I played RE5 with my friend, I was stupid and thought she was a manjini and shot her with the rocket launcher, sadly we were messing around/playing on professional.....

My sister has shot me so many time in this battle. She shoots before Wesker is distracted and when he doges I get hit instead.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that was awesome. It's cool to know we're not the only ones who like to play with Wesker during the fights.
I like to shoot him in the butt---- He gets SOOOOO pissed.... I often die, but it's SOOOO worth it.
Someday, someday I'l get that neck-pinching prompt.....

I like watching Wesker choke Chris. Also that attack where he sloooowly builds up and then thrusts his hand at you. I got killed trying to dodge it, but man was that a cool death scene.

Well, I found a pic of Leon holding a Rocket Launcher, but I don't know if it's good enough for you? Here it is: [link]

Yeah I've seen that one (though never in that large a size), but thanks anyways.
The real problem is finding a picture of the rocket launcher at the right angle. I needed a pic like in that second panel, one from the front with someone aiming the rocket launcher forward.
All the pics I find always show it from the side.

XDDD If anything, I see Chris being the nut blowing up Sheva, but that's just me (grins)
And asdfjk! DX I know your pain! WHY isn't there any good pic of a friggen rocket launcher?! I've been meaning to find one for a comic idea, but no friggen luck X_X

Heh, maybe it would be more fitting if my friend and I switched characters, but I like playing Chris too much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XDDD I know exactly how ya feel X3
And speaking of shooting rockets at Wesker, try shooting the rocket at him while he's kneeling down in that stage (you gotta inflict major damage).
You'll see something hilarous 8D

It's become a running gag on the internet that Chris stuffs his biceps with watermelons, so it just made sense to me that if he blew up, you'd find pieces of watermelon among the scattered body parts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I see. Then he can eat his biceps when he gets hungry?

I wouldn't put it past him ^^.

This part confused me first time too
grr at Wesker and his epic dodging...
'I suppose I should thank you..'
His lines are made with epic juice...
I love it when you run around, turn the lights out so he can't see you triggering him to say
'you are merely postponing the inevitable'
and then the:
'FOUND YOU!' >:3
Playing hide and seek with Wesker is fun stuff

Is it just me, or does it look hilarious when Sheva restrains Wesker? I mean, she's a stick-thin, 50 kg woman holding a huge strapping man in a full Nelson... WHO HAS SUPER STRENGTH!
Speaking of realism, Wesker catching the rocket shouldn't work despite his super speed/strength. Rockets operate on either a proximity detector or after a concussion. Therefore it would have exploded when he caught it, or exploded while he was holding it. Granted you can detonate it by shooting it, but still...
Speaking of which, wouldn't all those gunshots and explosions have reduced Wesker to a mass of scar tisue, if not ripped his clothes to shreds?... uh-oh, I've given fangirls ideas... Ah well - Resident Evil characters are all walking masses of scar tissue by now.
*SPOILERS*
Also, you need to correct a mistake. They don't inject him with a serum. They inject him with red-coloured Holy Water - because we all know Wesker is a vampire. The constant wearing of sunglasses, hypnotic eyes, black clothes and voice that makes women swoon didn't give it away? Therefore the reason Chris can hurt him so much by punching is that after fighting him with Jill years before RE5, Chris actually had his fists blessed by the Pope in Rome. Thus he now has head-shattering Holy Powah contained in his Iron Fists.
... Sheva has Jungle Woman Powah.

It's not just you. I think it looks funny whenever either of them initially grab him, but that's because I'm immature and it kind of looks like they're about to start humping him or something.
Realism? In a video game? Pfft, who needs that right? Actually I literally face-palmed when I first saw him catch a rocket, followed by yelling a "come on!" of my own. Dammit Wesker, I almost manage to convince myself that your viral-enduced superpowers are marginally plausible, given the miracle exemption of the T-Virus and its mysterious ways, and then you go and pull stunts like that! *sigh* Also, his excessive growling sounds ridiculous. You're not a jungle cat, Wesker, no matter how many fans call you "Whiskers".
Perhaps all the character's clothing is made of the same indestructible material as Wesker's sunglasses. Otherwise Chris would have lost his shirt long ago and Sheva's tribal outfit would have been decimated in mere moments. Not that fans of either gender would complain about that...maybe it will be the next gameplay element. They already have fully destructible environments, now they just need fully destructible clothing!
I'm not sure "Rockets are Not Holy Water" will fit for the title 
Funny you should mention Wesker being a vampire. My friend, who had never played a RE game before, now calls him the "Vampire of the matrix". The fact that he first appears in a very gothic old mansion on a hill next to a cliff during a dark and stormy night only helps the case.
You're an amazon, Sheva! Oh, wait...that's Jill's title.

Sheva: *grabs Wesker* Do it! Inject hi...m... uh...
Chris: *facepalm* FOR GOD'S SAKE WOMAN, RESTRAIN HIM, DON'T PLEASURE HIM!
Wesker: *triumphant* Edward Cullen's got nothing on me *evil smirk*
You're right - realism in games is barely ever needed or wanted. Games should operate on Rule of Cool and Rule of Fun. That's why I dislike Far Cry 2. But I digress. I never really cared about Wesker's antics - I just enjoyed watching him beat the crap out of Chris and Sheva, then rejoiced when I punched the tar our of him.
Lol, fully destructible clothing. Reminds me of the Wolverine Origins game where Logan's shirt is fully destructible, but his pants are magically indestructible. Add something like THAT to Wesker in his inevitable return and the fangirls will fall over themselves to get it!
Sheva: How do we beat him?
Chris: CONSULT THE BOOK OF ARMAMENTS! *pulls out Bible*
Sheva: *reading* Armaments Chapter 3 verse 12; And so, Chris Redfield said, 'O LORD, do bless this Rocket-Propelled Grenade, so that thou may blowest thy enemies into tiny bits... in thy mercy.'
Chris: *whips out RPG* Amen, baby
Lol, 'vampire of the matrix'. They already have those! They're the creepy mooks in Reloaded that are completely ineffectual. That's why every time Wesker appears he's never in direct sunlight - at the end of Code Veronica the clouds shielded him from the sun's rays the same way clouds prevent SparklyVampires from SPARKLING!
