While looking at Resident Evil's profiles, I noticed that Leon scales to Jake. The reason is that they both can deal damage to monsters of similar magnitude. You would think that this is fair enough, and therefore there shouldn't be a huge difference in power between them. However, I noticed that we don't scale Chris to Wesker, even though from a cutscene that isn't a game mechanic, Chris can land multiple hits that not only knock the blood out of him, but knock him out cold on the ground, to the point where Wesker is sniffing the floor. As I've learned from your threads, we don't scale Chris to Wesker because Chris can't logically be compared to him, he is a level of different physical strength and is superior to monsters that Chris can't scale to, ignoring the obvious times where Chris can compete with him in power, even taking into account that he can physically hold his own against Wesker's strongest form until he gets stabbed. The real question is: Why does Leon scale to Jake and Chris doesn't scale to Wesker? Both Chris and Leon are humans, Wesker and Jake are superhumans from a story standpoint, but you're ignoring one in favor of the other when they're both comparable and equal to each other. Even if you don't scale Chris to Wesker, you should still scale him to Leon since they're depicted as being absolutely equal in terms of physics, with Chris slightly outscaling them. It's fair to either not scale them both to super soldiers, or scale them both to super soldiers. That would give Chris a Large Building level, which would make sense given his "boulder" feat, which Leon doesn't have, which he was actually running away from from a story standpoint, emphasizing his superiority in terms of physical strength.
