Something I absolutely love about Remake Krauser is that as he's addressing Leon one last time, you can see him starting to call him "Rookie," choke and cough on his words, and finally call him by his name.

I love how they expanded on Krauser in the remake. Making his knife fight so much better than the quick time event fest of the original. Plus it's the fight where you'd better have your parry timing down so it rewards you for learning this mechanic that makes combat feel so good in the remake.

Krauser: Strength is everything. the weak can protect nothing! Vergil: Might controls everything. and without strength you cannot protect anything. familiar?

There's a tragic irony that Krauser took the viral help of Wesker and the Plaga of Saddler in an attempt to become powerful enough that he'd never be helpless or out of control of his fate again yet he was only ever a puppet for Wesker and Saddler both. As a certain individual once commented...Pawns can never become players.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the parallel to Vergil. And funny how we've gone full circle with Devil May Cry back to Resident Evil 4.

Krauser is such a dope and beastly character. Definitely keeping up the tradition of a badass rival, that characters like Vergil, Sephiroth, and Jetstream Sam set. I would love a game or a DLC playing as him, there is so much untapped potential with his character. He like If Rambo went completely off the deep end. The Remake not only did his character justice but they also enhanced it.

Its nice to see a different take that also included the lost dog tags as the memento of his fallen comrades. While theres the take that he wanted nothing more than power and meant it, he may have also withheld the fact that he really was doing it because of revenge for his fallen men, making both simultaneously true, making him someone we can all feel for but must overcome

OG Krauser: "All your guns and alternative weapons had no effect, yet a simple scratch of a knife brings me down..." New Krauser: "What knife...?" Also the addition of Operation Javier better be a hint at a Code: Veronica Remake.

Huh, moved onto RE4 interesting. Funny thing about Krauser is both versions have semi-understandable motivations for what they did OG Krauser: Injured on a mission that forced him to retire from the military which was his whole life thus he felt completely aimless and thus happy to jump at something that both gave him back his old strength and made it greater Remake Krauser: Disillusioned by the government he'd supported for some long betraying him and being enamored by the power he'd seen of BOWs. Either works.

great vid, as always, but there's one point that left me a bit stumped. I remember hearing something about how Leon DID take part in operation Javier, due to his prior experience with BOWs, but due to his status as a special agent directly under the higher ups in the government, any and all records and evidence of his participation were completely erased, as if he was never there in the first place. And I think that kinda makes sense, more than the government leaving it all to Krauser and his team, giving Leon a more personal view on the matter instead of him just somehow hearing about it, also explaining how he knows so much of something the government swept under the rug and eliminating the inconsistencies with Krauser's Darkside Chronicles lines.

The Krauser fights were probably the biggest highlight of the game for me and it was specifically because the knife fighting felt like you were fighting someone on very equal grounds, they NAILED it with Krauser imo. and I love the Vergil/Dante comparison because the rivalry aspect works very well with Krauser and Leon.

16:38 love how both of them said power at the same time

When you realize Leon remember the basics of CQC better than snake(big boss)

I do think the remake Separate Ways will answer more of Krauser’s involvement because Wesker still needs to get a sample of the dominant strain Plaga and Ada as we saw doesn’t give it to him. This has to happen for the events of RE5, regardless of the changes in the RE4 remake. Hence why I believe her side story will give us some answers if it releases.

This evolution of Wesker is really interesting . . . . . . . . . "A tô me lembrando da minha infância "

I do wonder how Leon knew about operation Javier considering he wasn't involved but it's meant to be top secret

Honestly... I would pay for a dlc campaign for each of the characters in mercanaries mode. Luis could be a prequel on how he got campured. Krauser could be operation Javier or when he first infiltated Los Illuminatos. And in this timeline Hunk could be the one to retrieve a dominant sumple for Whesker.

I'm glad Krauser was done so well in the remake but this begs the question how the HELL did they screw up remake Nemesis so badly? (not to mention Jill who seems to be more of an angsty teen who likes the B word a lot rather then the cop who made it out of the mansion incident)

He'd probably kill me but it try to hug him and let him cry on my shoulder while I tell him it's ok and that your safe now. Your a good man and you don't need to do this

I fucking love Krauser. Ever since I played resident evil 4 as a kid Krauser was my favorite.

i would LOVE to see you do a vid on leon kennedy next. i know you've only done RE antagonists, but leon's such a complex and rich character. it'd be nice to see a character deep dive that does him justice. otherwise, any other RE character would be amazing too. thank you

Building a Bastard:Bryan Fury

"Krauser is now Leon's vergil" yea right down the "Power is everything, the weak cannot protect anything!

I'd argue Leon and Krauser's ideologies are more like Nero and Vergil instead of Dante and Vergil. As both have a desire for strength, but leon does it to protect people (like Nero) and Krauser does it to defeat his own insecurity (Like Vergil)

I loved the new Krauser fight and the deeper backstory, however I'm getting used to the new voice slowly

I don't think its IMPOSSIBLE leon was part of Operation javier, he could have been sent in as a secret agent with potential rumors of B.O.Ws involvement, kept completely off the books all together and only known to be involved from the ppl at the very top or ppl directly involved, of course the situation would still be different but think its too hasty to say he wasn't involved in the incident at all

I've always liked Krauser, I'm not really sure why, he only appears in one mainline title but there's just something about him

Thanks for making this awesome videos! always looking forward to them!

Another excellent video, Meti

Krauser feels like a blend between Vergil from DMC and Big Boss from MGS, and also with some of what is uniquely his own. The Big Boss similarity seemed more hazy at first, what with the American agent lied to and betrayed by his own government and becoming a mercenary, but somehow it feels much more clear when I see him literally being a snake eater, and the camera dwells on it just long enough for the influence to be clear. Also with the release window irl making for plenty of time to shape Krauser's backstory based on MGS3. Also, his name is another version of "John" (Big Boss's real name), being Jack. I'm disappointed by his casting in the remake, though. He's solidly-written, but it's just the performance that's lacking. Also his face is not as intimidating as it should be. His lackluster performance in the remake is vastly overshadowed by new Ada's incompetence, though, so he more-or-less falls into "free pass" territory for me. His performance does not ruin the character, after all. He just fails to capture the nuance of the situation beyond the deranged villain portion... and even then he's inconsistent with his guttural yells, only sounding correct roughly half the time, and that's being generous. It would've been nice if I felt some lingering humanity that he buried toward his end in the performance, but no dice.

15:06 "Nyan Nyan Krauser" "Wtf Rookie??"

Bueno todo el juego tuve la leve sospecha de que se inspiraron fuertemente en Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater y al llegar a Krauser se me olvidó por completo y solo vi a Vergil vestido como Ocelot, luego Leon mató a Krauser y dije "jaja es como lo que le pasó a The Boss" El tema de que krauser este tan... Motivado... me hace pensar que querían reflejar el vínculo entre Resident Evil y Devil May Cry pero no solo eso sino también inspiración en Metal Gear, el sigilo, las formas de curarse, la relación de Leon con krauser y hasta cierto punto Luis, juegazo

I'm happy for Krauser He went from a buttmonkey joke To a tragic foil.

The writhe voice line had me dying 😂😂

"Flash Leon, so he can strike him from behind." "Leon can flash an opponent to open them up." There's a lot of homosexual tension in this 🤣😂

Found a guy on Etsy who made his knife you could buy, the re4 fanboy in me was ecstatic

I think Leon was actually in operation javier and he just wasn't on the official records since he is the president's golden boy and the operation is something they wanted to sweep under the rug, so the journalist wouldn't have had a way to know Leon was there if Leon never took part in it in an official manner. I think operation javier still goes on mostly as we know in the remake's timeline, just with the added backstory to Leon and Krauser

If I don't get MGR music while Chris punches the boulder what's the point

Krauser fucking WOULD live tweet his covert-op goverment mission.

Holy shit new Mei Video

Seeing that shot of Azel at the start giving me hope you do a god hand video one day

I ain't gay but.....

I really like the new version of Krauser

I love your commentary videos! Would it be possible to do a video over the aces of Ace Combat 0?

Honestly I prefer old Krauser to new, but the New one is by and far the better written of the two. It even appeals to me with the mentor/student angle it has. Always been a sucker for those when done right. On an unrelated note I've always been curious as to how Krauser and Big Boss would interact, despite being from two different franchises.

Can we get a remake universe krauser operation Javier game that explores this new krauser to show us all his tragedy and all his triumph before eventually facing off against his star pupil that would be epic

Okay while the video is very good, I faintly heard the dante chase theme from Nocturne while I was playing it and I was so confused lmao

OG Krauser ftw

Jack krauser is a metal gear solid character. In fact he was the mole working for skullface. He was the one who suggested to huey that they bring in the so-called UN nuclear weapons inspection team. He was the one who caused the motherbase platforms to submerge by planting plastic explosives beneath the supports, making immediate evacuation of all personel impossible and forcing them to fight for their lives. He was the who fired a rocket into the chopper with boss, medic, Kaz, paz and Chico on board. In the aftermath, much like glaz and palitz, he went under, returning to the United States armed forces, becoming the "good guy" absolving himself of the betrayal he caused. After all, those parasites in him are not of Plagas origin.

He's badass

I hope you can make a video about Wesker soon

SUPER NICE, never played resident evil before

Years back the first time I played re4 I ran out of bullets and I had a fight krauser there was no way I was going to win with just the... I used my last flashbang I found got him in a corner and didn't give him an inch to feed him with a knife and won

1:25 8:44 16:31 22:31 The the Enlightened Ones 4:14 The the plagues

Jack loves listening to Ram Ranch.

Do you think you'll do a glory of Leon S. Kennedy video in the future?

Gotta love how the game acknowledges that Krauser is inspired by Rambo, and goes ahead and gives you an eye patch so that you can be Kurt Russell 😆

I am all here for a video essay about knife comrade, let's goooooo!

Why does every badass violence loving man has to be named Jack?

How much you wanna bet they named him Jack as a reference to Jack the Ripper due to his preference and skill with knives?

Tueofjk vs. henstablevolutionackrauser - I had a stroke because of you

Remark krauser vs OG krauser

Could you make a video about Gabriel Belmont

I had the rail shooter on the Wii and played the hell out of if

I hear "Ain't That Funny" playing in the background

Great video on Krauser👍🏾 Have you done a video on Muzan from Kimetsu no Yaiba?

I think Rolento from Final Fight was the inspiration of Krauser.

Ain't nothing like learning new slang from meti had no idea what a blw was lmao

Both versions good.

such a underrated character,good video btw

Not going to start a which version is better war, but I was far more into new krauser, the og was just kinda there and his boss fight was really annoying for me, but the new one, his voice acting, insane charisma, awesome skills and really really fun boss fight with a satisfying story arc just makes me hope that he doesn't even have a connection to Wesker as I think he's fine by himself.

Leon was apart of operation Javier, Leon isn’t on document because he technically “died” in Raccoon City.

Caralho é o wesker

So krauser kidnapped ashley with one arm??

The glory of joshu when

Please do a video on wesker! The Mastermind!

Can you do KIlly from Blame! by Nihei Tsutomu? Killy is a very interesting protagonist.

Caralho video do Wesker?

I don't know if I would credit vergil for the prominence of rival characters in the the 2000s.

In the original Krauser was the rank of corporal

the way I see it he was a rival in the original like as an equal and then a fullout mentor character in the remake turned evil. Definitely not my favorite direction but a unique and likable one!

snakes, venom, viruses, espianage, mercenaries......I swear RE series is turning into the horror science fiction equivilant of Metal Gear (with monsters instead of robots, viruses instead of cybernetics and nanomachines.....tho both have clones and a eugenics subplot....right down to Leon "stopping that blade" chainsaw" moment

not mentioned, no C4 control from the original fight comrade. BOOM but yeah the dog tags and the photo ew seems like alot stems from the reworking of Ada and Louise. plays out in Krauser killing Louise not saddler

Would you cover megumi fushiguro please?

21:51 in all reality, krauser was aware enough in death to indirectly ask him to save his ammo. But yeah Honor too I guess

17:44 what the hell is a BLW?

I have a video idea for you. How much Lei would Ethan Winters need to buy a Whopper?

6:04 I genuinely don’t see how that is surprising 7:44 unless they’re berkin and get the “cheap stuff”

Ok, so the Red words in the thumbnail are "The U.E. of J.K.," and all I can think of is, "The Unfortunate End of John Kennedy."

First thing my brain thought when seeing this video: TUEOFJK 💀

I can fix him

Uno!

It's kinda funny you compare him to vergil when he's the prototype of vergil as devil may cry was originally a re4 build that got scraped so they made it into devil may cry So Krouser made Vergil so Vergil can make Remake Krouser

when i played re4 i kept thinking that krauser must be in some other game, but he's apparently just in a CGI movie? Like how am i supposed to follow the story lol

Maybe Separate Ways DLC will answer things Since there are a LOT of event changes in RE4R, not a bad one like 3R was but it is a huge surprise just how overhauled 4R is and somehow Capcom made it work Rest in Piss U3 you will not be missed

Remake Krauser is definitely better. Also makes you more invested, because he kills Luis instead.

TUEOJK

Tuejk or is it tueofjk

5 mins

But, isn't that wesker?
