I say that because of things like saying Leon prefers close combat just because he has CQC training when all of his demonstrable feats outside of the RE4 knife fight are projectile based.

It just seems weird to lean into that part of his skillset when he's just as known for akimbo theatrics, for example.

But I know I'm annoying and maybe if you get a whole new crew it won't matter. I'm going to attempt to ignore these as much as possible, no promises though.

So of course you know RE better than anyone else here (I think), but when we crafted that particular bio, several instances came to mind:

-The knifefight with Krauser, obv
-His showdown with Chris when the latter tries to kill Ada in RE6, which is mostly martial arts instead of shooting
-The scene where he fights a zombie horde in RE: Vendetta, where rather than trying to keep distance he CQCs the zombos multiple times throughout

Basically the emphasis there was to lean on what makes Leon unique, compared to say, Revolver Ocelot, just to name another low tier gunner. He's a much more complete battle package who wouldn't get folded like a lawn chair by your average 3/week melee closing in on him immediately, whereas the same can't be said about other firearms specialists in his upkeep bracket. If you feel his bio could use some more hype on his marksmanship skills, though, that's definitely something to keep in mind. Things like his RE: Degeneration feats were under consideration when building the bio and only left aside to avoid bloating it too much.
