My favourite moment is in the remake, when he was carrying Ashley in chapter 15 and he said: ”this time it has to be different.” But what I like the most is when he never fainted before making sure that Ashley was safe from the plaga, it’s like his job was done and he can rest easy knowing that Ashley was safe.

[@radio2299]

My favorite scene in 4R! Kind of odd there were no moments with Ashley on the list.

[@misterwolf3817]

I'd say that RE6 Leon has a lot of really good moments. Matured and sassy. And just shot the president.

[@jaehaalexander1172]

And he always gets stuck with the bossy ones lol

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Poor Leon lol

[@jt7D]

I love the senior moment one and Saddler’s genuine laugh in response. Like “oh, I walked into that one.” I really enjoy remake Saddler and think he’s fits in well with the tone of the remake (plus his boss fight is better), but OG Saddler is my preferred of the two character wise because of moments like that.

[@tyleradkins926]

I remember playing 6 for the first time and being genuinely concerned for Jake’s safety when he touched Leon.

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Lol don’t fuck with Leon.

[@yankeemania2345]

Jake would have beaten the crap out of Leon, hell, maybe all of the MCs. If he has similar powers to Wesker then he is a force to be reckoned with.

[@Etothe3rdPower]

@@yankeemania2345 Man, I don’t know. I doubt Wesker would have ran away from Ustanak like Jake did. And Wesker got bodied by Chris and Sheva so it “may” be possible for Leon to give Jake the business.

[@KingcarterJ1002]

​@@Etothe3rdPowerbodied ? 😂😂 he almost killed Chris multiple times. First time if Jill wasn't there he would have killed him . They literally were barley surviving against him 💀

[@yankeemania2345]

@Etothe3rdPower We have seen Wesker run away once though and that was against Alexia. Also I think people use bodied a bit too much. Wesker throughout all the games has dominated all the fights between them until he was injected with that serum. Even then though he was tough to fight so in my opinion, he wasn't bodied by them, they barely made it. Bodied by Alexia? I will agree there considering he only tried one time to hurt her, failing, and running away. As for Jake, he can be beat since he doesn't have all the powers of Wesker but enough to be considered near that level of threat. Not saying Leon can't beat Jake since Leon has faced the likes of Krauser, Saddler, Mr. X, Birkin, etc. And lived to tell the tales, but he never faced anyone on Wesker's level all villains considered. Jake was literally boxing with the Ustanak at the end like it was Fight Night. Leon's skills and experience could help him in a fight with Jake to immobilize him quickly but I'm not sure he could win an endurance fight.

[@MichaelMyers07]

That is a great list, thanks for your work, man 2 of my favouite Leon moments did not make the cut 1. "Hasta Luego!" 2. In Resident Evil 4 Remake when Leon finds Ashley after she attacked him with his knife and he does his best to comfort and calm her down

[@jaehaalexander1172]

The best character to grace our lives ❤ I do think his best scene was from Remake though. When he was chained up with Luis and used the chain to snap the Ganados neck. Straight 🔥 OR that scene with Ramón where Ramón was monologuing and Leon straight up said "You talk too much" and shot him. Peak characters moment lol

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Both of which make the list and both were pretty damn iconic lol

[@jaehaalexander1172]

​@NerdSpaceGames oh yeah I know they made the list but to me those were the best even though that number one spot was pretty good too ya know?

[@sreeharipradeep]

i think the scene for leon is in 4remake when leon carries ashley to remove the plagas and says "This time it has to be different"

[@YouthPotential]

Leon: “No thanks, BRO!”: Leon’s best comeback of all time

[@saga2964]

Yeah...if you're 14.

[@austinmakoju6215]

Leon's best moments are definitely from re4.. Major upgrade from the rookie cop of re2

[@MinerB2023]

In my opinion, the most iconic thing Leon has ever said in the series is "No Thanks Bro." But we can't forget about "Hasta Luego."

[@AlloraLang]

My favorite was in RE4 Remake, the cage fight scene. Leon went full John Wick, and I loved every second of it.

[@RobertoDAuri]

7:06 👏🏻 9:38 STANDING OVATION!

[@ajhealy4235]

His fight with mr x, is awesome

[@NerdSpaceGames]

True lol

[@jenn5628]

Leon is my favorite character in the franchise

[@tysonwehr]

Goated character and great video!

[@Chocobobob]

I vividly remember playing Number 8 and my girl got mad at me because I called out the manipulation in that scene 😂😂 to this day it grinds my gears

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Lol honestly I still question that scene. I don’t think it was all manipulation there, but yeah she played the hell out of our naive little rookie 😭

[@silenthiller]

I know the scene in 6 with Leon and Chris duking it out was intended to be cool, not hot. But Jesus it was hot. The two studliest hotties of REverse wrastling for dominance...I am just glad it was a draw. They are both too cool to lose to the other.

[@andrewoconnor9877]

Most underrated and underwatched KZbin account, you’re gonna blow up soon bro 👌

[@arnabdasgupta3926]

I agree with all your rankings, but I'd just switch your No. 11 with the top ranking. Nothing beats the iconic status of the Bingo line, of course.

[@NerdSpaceGames]

That’s fair lol

[@andrewcalean7992]

STARSSSSS!!!!

[@tanyaflanagan8111]

Leon is so sassy in 6. Such a bro. Chris will always be my fave but Leon has so many great moments

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Agreed on all accounts here lol

[@gsonia16]

My favourite character 😍😍

[@NerdSpaceGames]

I’m more of a Chris fan but I feel you!

[@intuitionedits2.032]

I finished both Chris and Leon for Re6 (RIP Piers, btw. Shoulda been Chris because it was obvious he was being written to replace Chris) and the only complaints I have are: 1) The bosses weren't really all that fun to fight 2) Chris's campaign caused me to run out of ammo very frequently 3) See number 2 but, enemies are ridiculously tanky therefore encouraging less gun usage despite it being clear combat was encouraged 4) The callback to the Regeneradors. I will fully admit I'm pretty terrible at Resident Evil games but 6 felt a bit more punishing than the others did on normal difficulty. Idk if that's just me but it just feels that way

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Fair points

[@austinmakoju6215]

"Story of my Life"

[@leonkennedy4935]

Enjoying your content but What??? No “hey it’s up to us to take our umbrella” followed by one of the most kick ass songs??

[@meandmycat3984]

Leon’s gotta be in re 9

[@JAYDOG1337A]

No love to the Vendetta, Damnation or Retribution movies?

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Lol since it’s a gaming channel I tend to only focus on the games. Maybe in the future I’ll start branching out to movie stuff

[@irvin966]

Leon is Baby Daddy!!!🎉❤❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@irvin966]

Ada better a stop! Lol

[@michelleriesebieter-8842]

Re 4 Original have to much good scene but Krauser vs Leon jsut the best ❤️‍🔥

[@NerdSpaceGames]

Agreed! Such a badass fight scene
