Current Events > Vergil would not make it through the Willamette zombie outbreak

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is about post-DMC1 Vergil. He's a guy in rags stumbling around, Nero has the Yamato, Mundus and Dante have destroyed most of the pride he had left. Dead Rising 1 would take the rest.
So I know you initially thought "Oh he jumps and spams air Judgement Cuts" but he doesn't do that here.

If Vergil had been in Willamette Parkview Mall in 2006 in this state, it would have been bad news for him.
Here's why.
-Vergil has no camera. Right off the bat Vergil wouldn't have been as useful to Brad and Jessie as Frank was. No picture of Barnaby, no leverage.
-Future shock. Vergil spent a lot of time as Nelo Angelo and some more time wandering around in the demon world. He probably hasn't seen military equipment in a while. He would definitely get run over by the convicts a lot. I think hearing the intercom in a mall would confuse and frighten him too.
-Abrasive personality. The survivors would not want to follow him and even if they were willing, it's unlikely he'd be considerate enough to ask. It's questionable whether he'd be willing to work with humans at all.
-Vergil would deem most of the weaponry available distasteful. And not only the weapons, the walkie talkies don't seem his style. Vergil's going to be out there on his own. Sure it's nice to not have Otis yelling at you but still.
-Unable to concentrate. There's a lot of zombies, there's runaway roller coasters, there's guys in coats chanting and laughing and unlike Frank Vergil does not have a helicopter coming. The constant threats and pressure would render Vergil in this already weakened state unable to benefit from his concentration meter.
-Psychopaths. In Vergil's weakened state, he wouldn't be prepared to fight the likes of Adam or Steven. Without a camera to catch his interest, Kent might even decide to turn hostile on the first day.
-Vergil's name does not end in a k. As we are all keenly aware, until Dead Rising 4, you needed a name ending with K to be a protagonist or final boss. Frank, Chuck, Nick, Brock, TK, Hemlock. Instead of a K, Vergil's name has a big ol' L which kinda sums things up nicely.

Overall I think Vergil would make it to day 2. He might be able to adapt to the zombies initially and last a while but once the True Eye cultists show up I think it's over.
Even if he could do all his moves he probably wouldn't want to perform them while the Dead Rising 1 mall music is playing.

i wish you wouldnt make it through the login screen

Hard to argue any of these points. You should do it for all the RE characters too. Don't think they would survive the events of Dead Rising because they're just not cool enough.

I'm inclined to agree. In Overtime mode Frank fights HUNK and his timeclones and they all go down pretty quickly.
I do think some of the Resident Evil characters might do okay though.
