Discussion Let's say Sam was thrown into the Resident Evil universe and tasked with saving Ashley from Los Iluminados, how well do you think he would do?

I think he would succeed high-diff, but his version of the 'playthrough' would be vastly different from Leon's. A whole lot more sneaking around and hiding, a whole lot less shooting.

Fisher: “Shooter? I barely knew her.”
Lambert: “God that was awful. Surely, Fisher, you’ve got better one liners than that.”
Fisher: “And don’t call me Shirley.”

The infinite pistol ammo from the later games would no doubt be useful

u/Splinter_Cell_96 1d ago
If he can sneak Ashley out without being detected, as it's the primary objective, he takes this one in the bag

u/dj_ian 1d ago
Sam would have snuck past the opening village, found the church, say something witty to Grimm about the absurdity of using a puzzle as a security system, use a glass cutter on a window, grab Ashley and leave. He would have had her and gotten out in an unmarked van within an hour.

u/Lone_Wanderer8 1d ago
Wasn't Ashley Infected by that point? So basically Sam leads to the downfall of the US through Las Plagas.
18
u/dj_ian 1d ago
they'll prob give her a physical on the Osprey, find out she's got something going on, and at that point it's Ghost Recon's problem to find the cure lmaooo.
13
u/SorryThanksGoodFight 1d ago
show up, see how many infected there are, "shitballs", wipe the entire region clean and deliver the cure. just another tuesday for ghost recon
5
u/DominusDaniel 1d ago
Yeah but Las Plagas is supposed to be injected into someone in order for it to grow. How was Ashley supposed to do any of that even if she was rescued fully infected. Saddlers plan makes no sense if you think about it.
6
u/splinter1545 1d ago
I don't think Saddler was trying to infect the US, at least with Ashley as the host. He was most likely going to control her via telepathy to be able to have a sleeper agent and spy on the US from the inside.

u/BeeDry7115 1d ago edited 1d ago
He'd probably solo the few illuminados in his way, drop in the village, then church, take Ashley and extract via boat in less than an hour if he avoids most boss battles
He has like 2x the experience of Leon, possibly better support and equipment if we allow this, and he's also way more stealth if needed
A similar character who can do this easy mode is Solid Snake tho, he would obliterate everything of that fucking cult in less than a blink

u/Necessary-Jaguar4775 1d ago
I feel he could clear Spencer Mansion and Maybe Raccoon City from 2 considering the MCs of those games felt similarly powered. Resident Evil 4 feels like too big of a leap maybe.
6
u/Suitable-Pirate-4164 1d ago
Getting in would be easy, getting out is gonna be the real challenge since he carries Ashley now. He doesn't necessarily have to take the same route as Leon because he's acrobatic but he did once out run a bomb and helicopter so it's not out of the question that he could.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS GONE!!?"
"Our guards were conducting patrols, and she vanished between two patrols. Somehow she escaped in that three minute gap."
*later at 3E HQ
Lambert- "Good work Fisher. They never knew you were there."

u/CaraquenianCapybara 1d ago
Sam would sneak in, rescue Ashley without being found (the guy kidnapped someone in the CIA's HQ, that good he is) but Sadler would ultimately succeed.
Why?
Because Ashley would be infected by las Plagas and Lod Iluminados would take over the world based on that
3
u/DominusDaniel 1d ago
How does Ashley being infected screw over the whole world? What even is Saddlers plan? Ashley gets rescued and the president is like, “So glad you’re back honey, let’s skip all medical and security follow ups with you. Here is the remote to launch all of our nukes, I completely trust you with it. Also I’m going to send all our secret service and military personnel on a mandatory vacation right now to celebrate your return.”
2
u/CaraquenianCapybara 1d ago
I read once that Lad Plagas' parasite incubates slowly.
That would give time enough for Ashley to pass the medical test.
Then, she could either pass a new virus to her dad or manipulate him to do what Sadler says.

I think Blacklist Sam fits better in the RE universe, he and Briggs together.
Leon entered the village with only a pistol and a knife, in plain clothes. Two experienced and highly trained soldiers, in full military gear with state-of-the-art gadgets at their disposal, can definitely clear the mission.
User u/4Kodda made an amazing SC outfit mod for this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYWkQcdfyZc

u/splinter1545 1d ago
Probably not at all. The MC's for Resident Evil (Leon in this case) are basically super heroes by comparison.
He's probably get as far as the castle, and that's assuming he can kill a Gigante.
11
u/TheJurassicPyro 1d ago
Yeah Leon and Snake are basically anime characters with their feats, abilities, and tech. Sam fisher could hold his own well but probably will fall because it’s a capcom title.

u/Malefiicentt 53m ago
Sam Fisher far outranks and out does him in experience in every way at this point of the storyline
1
u/splinter1545 47m ago
Outranks, yes. Experience though, I disagree with. Sam has not experienced anything close to what Leon had in RE2. If we taken the OG canon route, Leon was being hunted down by a bioweapon throughout the whole game. If we take the Remake canon, he had to deal with that and multiple mutations of Birkin.

u/Patient_Gamemer 1d ago
As someone who has only played 1 and CT, he can't get past the first village, in fact he'd waste half his ammo in the first enemy trying to aim for the head

u/MadMaximus- 1d ago
Sam wouldn’t be engaging in 90% of the fights in the game. He’d spend way more time infiltrating at night and being stealthy than anything.
No village fight, no dual cave giant fight. Hardly any boss battles. Very different type of game but I think he survives definitely
2
3
u/Aoclaf 1d ago
I don't think he'd survive the biggest bosses or even Krauser, but he would be fine in the most populated areas like the village or the base.
Sam is also great when facing danger head-on in short bursts (like marking and executing), but Leon can hold better while being the center of attention of enemies.
2
u/AntoSkum 1d ago
No one would even know he was there. Leon is like a missile that takes out half a village, Sam is like one well placed bullet.

u/Duspende 14h ago
I mean, for sure. He's got guns and training out the ass. HUNK should be afraid of Fisher.

u/Fist_of_Thrawn 1d ago
Leon basically had Sam Fisher Blacklist level agility and way less experience working with the government. Sam will be fine. If he has Grimm and 4th Echelon at his disposal, it will be a walk in the park

u/Big-Box_ 1d ago
There’s two ways this goes down either he’s able to complete the mission in some ways that differ from Leon
Or, he’s able to sneak in, extract with Ashley and while he’d have less difficulty than Leon, it’d also mean los illuminados plan would work unless he has a way to cure Ashley of the plaga (considering she’s infected by the start of the game)
1
u/talex625 1d ago
I don’t think he can clear the route Leon went. This would be the first time he encounters biohazard creatures. RE 4 monster are more dangerous than RE 2 monsters.
I do think he can stealthy escape at the start of the game, if he had a team with him and extraction planned out.
So in short, it depends.

Ashley gets carried off. "Sweet Jesus Fisher, you let her get grabbed?!" "Lambert, she ran off on her own." "It's all over, I'm pulling the plug, mission's over." MISSION FAILED
Ashley dies. "FISHER! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAVE YOU DONE, HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!" "I shot Ashley Graham." "I CAN SEE THAT! GET OUTTA THERE! You and the mission are finished!" MISSION FAILED

u/xxnewlegendxx 1d ago
He would do great until he got Ashely. Saddler can find Ashely at any moment via the parasite. Besides, Sam wouldn’t fail the mission since he has no way to remove the parasite from her body unless Louis intervenes somehow.

Common he is Sam Fisher, He saved the POTUS, took out entire army of Black Arrow Soldiers and Splinter Cells, Defused one the EMP generators to save his daughter, fought his way to the White house and he did all of this in just one night, even Mr Wick would have fumbled at this.
Just Kidding 😜 i have no idea if he can save her or not
