What RE4 Leon went and done did was flip the table on "reserved" and roundhouse kick it in the face. Like, the closest physical contact anybody wants with a zombie is using the blade of a knife, so it's understandable that characters from the original Resident Evil games would be zoners, staying back and favoring long-ranged combat if at all possible.* On the other hand, RE4 is hardly survival horror at all. When I think about Survival Horror in general, it's a struggle to come up with a moveset that would fit in Smash without becoming Snake 2.0. I think Leon would be a great left-field pick that would really surprise people, but also make a lot of sense in retrospect.

It's taken a long time for an M-rated horror series pick to seem viable, but that time is finally here. With that said, Leon and the Resident Evil series aren't exactly at the forefront of DLC character discussion. And with characters like Snake, Bayonetta, and Joker arriving with tastefully toned-down M-rated elements, it's getting easier and easier to imagine something like Resident Evil or Devil May Cry or Doom or Halo getting Smash representation. As to the logistics of nabbing an RE character, Capcom has been a fantastic source of third-party Smashers so far and I'm sure they'd oblige once again for their crowning jewel series. And while many of us remembered Leon fondly from our stints in the Raccoon City police station, few were prepared for the quippy, balls-to-the-wall action hero RE4 would see him become. His history with Nintendo started with the N64 and he's playable on every console (also, strangely, GBC) since. Kennedy just may be the most ubiquitous, well-known character in RE next to Mila Jovovich. With RE4 and RE2's remakes and ports, RE6, RE:Gaiden and 4 movies, Leon S. It stood out as a game of a generation and fit right in on a console known for its relatively small, yet gem-filled library. RE4 moved away from a lot of the horror elements that made the series good in the first place, but it introduced addictive and weighty action gameplay that spawned a sequence of bestselling third-person over-the-shoulder bandwagoners (and roughly one billion, fiffillion ports and remasters, including its May 2019 Switch release) in the generation(s) after it. Of all the great games in the series, though, nothing has stuck with fans (especially Nintendo fans) quite like Resident Evil 4. It's the grandaddy of Survival Horror and still relevant today, picking up from a downward spiral of disappointing post-RE4 entries with masterpieces RE7 and RE2: Remake. Resident Evil is Capcom's biggest IP and the 20th best-selling video game franchise of all time at over 90 million copies sold. Each move has a link to its ingame origin, if applicable.
Consequently some of the things you are about to see might require more Imagination^tm than others. If anything looks like someone googled "re4 leon _" and then chopped and pasted body parts together like paper dolls while sniffing the glue, then that someone was me.
