Attack Potency and Scaling
Profiles like Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and Piers Niavans, are rated 9-C physically, despite the fact they all can crush a Zombie head with a casual stomp and would logically be comparable to their partners in the story, similarly, The Hunter is only rated 9-C, despite their canon superiority to Zombies and the ability to easily crush the roof of vehicles by jumping on them, They should be bumped to 9-B by simple powerscaling to the monsters they have killed.
On another similar topic, Leon S. Kennedy is rated 9-A with the rocket launcher, but the rocket launcher in-game can one-shot el Gigante, destroy large boulders and even an alternate variation of it was canonically used to Kill Saddler, who would obviously scale to El Gigante's feat of destroying a large boulder, so it should be fair to rate him High 8-C when using heavy weapons like that.
Another problem I want to bring up is that only Leon and Ethan Winters have their weaponry listed in their profiles and only them, despite the fact every other character in the series has access to weapons and explosives during the events of their game, so they should also get a key similar to both separate from their physical abilities.
While we're on the topic of weapons I'd like to point out the fact that they tend to have feats above those of their real-life counterparts such as the aforementioned rocket launcher, Handguns that can kill zombie dogs which could resist being run over and not suffer notiecable damage, knock over iron signs with a few shots; machineguns that can destory large boulders with far less shots than it would take any real weapon to do and grenades that seem to pack several KGs of tnt. Considering the previous showings and the fact that it'd be nonsensical for any of the characters to be carrying pea-shooters weaker than they are physically It should be fair to assume they deserve an "At least 9-B" with small arms.
TL;DR Characters who can physically kill Zombies get bumped to 9-B, those with acess to guns and explosives get an aditional key rating them as "At least 9-B" with small arms, High 8-C with heavy weapons and explosives
Speed issues
This might be quite controversial, but as of now, Leo who supposedly has feats of dodging bullets is rated as Supersonic+, but according to the guidelines we can only give a "+" to calculated feats that warrant it, furthermore I don't recall him ever doing any of the sort in the series, and as far as Jill's second key speed is concerned, she seemed to be relying mostly on aimdodging (though I'm not 100% certain and we might need to analyze the fight frame by frame), so as far as I know, only Wesker himself has any feats that warrant his rating from the fact he can dodge any bullet point-blank during his fight in-game.
However there are several feats that are relevant and should warrant a rating until they're calculated, namely the very first and weakest tyrant deflecting a rocket a few cms away from him, the Super Tyrant doing the same, Jill side-stepping missiles from nemesis, Claire reacting and dodging sniper rounds, again from a shorter distance.
I believe all of those are good enough to warrant a tentative subsonic rating for the majority of the characters until they're evaluated (I calculated the tyrant feat to be supersonic which is pending revision at the moment). The feats from the Tyrants and the like would also scale to the main cast as they'd need to be able to dodge their attacks in such close quarters and Leon himself has done so during the events of damnation.
Thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.
