Wesker needs enhancements to dodge bullets. But Slade? He can dodge bullets at point blank range while de-powered and wounded.
To be fair, Wesker's depowered appearances are few and far between. He has a perfect excuse for being short on feats - only thing is, he's actually not.
To scale of feats to appearances, human Wesker is just as elite as human Deathstroke. Chris Redfield is skilled enough to give Slade a run for his money, but Wesker effortlessly stomps him.
While Billy and Rebecca were running for their lives, Wesker singlehandedly cleared out the entire training facility of all monsters and BOWs before finally finishing off the ProtoTyrant with limited ammo. Said Tyrant being a hulking 30 tonner who moves and strikes at bullet speeds.
Killing something like that with no enhancements is tougher than you might think; Ada Wong was terrified of Umbrella sending a Tyrant after her, and would of much prefered if they simply sent out a team of elite Spec Ops. Who is Ada Wong I hear you ask?
Only the most highly sought after international super spy her planet has to offer. Again, scared of Tyrants and eventually "killed" by one. Meanwhile, Albert Wesker treated the T-001 with nothing but contempt and thought of it as merely an annoyance.
Comparatively, those dudes Deathstroke took on weren't even trying to kill him. And they were equipped with stun gun-thingys, much easier to dodge than real guns.
My point in all this? Albert Wesker is the single most highly skilled combatant in all of Resident Evil. Many would claim Deathstroke has a large edge in technique, but I would disagree. Quality over quantity, and two-shotting Chris Redfield is about as qualitative as you can get.
Wesker never dodged bullets before his powers, but he did make the ProtoTyrant look like a fool, who was quick enough to literally smack missiles out of the air, and an inferior model caught a Licker by the head from behind (a generic Licker is a bullet timer). So I would most definitely say depowered Wesker>depowered Deathstroke.
The only thing I'll probably agree with you on is Wesker's skill being superior.
Wait what?
Oh.
Cool.
The statement
Deathstroke is a bullet timer, but Wesker has already blitzed those.
is a very weak one. Flash is a bullet timer too. Does that mean Wesker could blitz Flash too? You and I both know the answer to that one.
I was just saying, Wesker quite literally moves at speeds exceeding that of high powered automatic weapons. Plenty instances of Deathstroke dodging bullets, but my point was Wesker blitzes people who do that, so he'll need a lot more to go on if we were to say speed is equal.
Another factor I'd like to bring up is intelligence. Deathstroke is one of the greatest tactical thinkers (arguably the greatest) in the DC Universe.
Exact same thing holds true for Albert Wesker.
Deathstroke is a prep master obviously, and an incredibly tactical fighter, but I'm gonna go out on a wing and say Wesker can match him.
The man singlehandedly masterminded the entire Mansion Incident down to the tiniest of details, going so far as to predict Brad Vicker's immediate reaction to seeing the Cerberous Dogs. When complications arose, Wesker didn't panic. He simply manipulated Barry Burton into doing his bidding right there on the spot.
Umbrella rules the world, to be blunt. Their influence reaches far higher than just the White House, but all on his lonesome Wesker brought the whole company down.
In a matter of months he built up his own private mercenary company which he used to erase Rockfort Island, all while maintaining his cover of being deceased.
Wesker is the manipulator of manipulators. He has everyone in his pocket.
Why bother fighting through an army yourself when it's far easier to manipulate the government into sending in an elite hit squad to do it for you?
Oh, what's that? Hit squad got slaughtered? Send in Chris and Jill, they got it covered.
All the while Wesker covertly makes his way through the facility and steals all the BOW combat data Umbrella had, before proceeding to wipe their mainframe just for lulz.
Moving on to strength. The problem with Wesker is, not once do we ever see his full potential. Everything is done with the upmost of casualness, for instance, 1:00 in the above video.
Kicking a steel door off it's hinges is nothing to him. He's already punched holes through them. Perhaps speed is arguable, but strength is something Wesker has firmly in his pocket. The power to turn human beings into mush; Slade isn't much stronger than Batman, humans like Nightwing can trade blows with him and end up ok. But Wesker would do more than just one shot Dick.
Cover? Cover??? That plan is flawed in numerous ways. Firstly, NEVER have I seen Deathstroke take cover. Slade is too badass for cover.
I'm seriously concerned. If you honestly think Slade is going to cower for cover from a measly PP2000 or a pistol, I don't what I'm going to do.
Deathstroke has been tagged by marksman less than Wesker. Whether or not he takes cover makes no difference to my plan. I was just using that as a way to transition from shooting to fist fighting. But if we're on the topic of marksmanship, Wesker is probably a better shot. A single Licker literally weaves through waves of Machine Gun fire, but Wesker took on hordes of them with just a pistol. Shooting without looking is impractical, I don't think Deathstroke has the gun feats to match Wesker. Not to mention those statues Slade shot were stationary, whereas Sheva had to actively dodge Wesker's bullets, despite him being totally focused on Chris.
Not to mention he was being shot at himself during all this!
Slade's Promethium body armor most definitely can take direct bullets.
The bullets won't pierce but he still feels the impact.
Your knowledge in Deathstroke is very lacking my friend.
Maybe.
Slade will use his superior reflexes
Superior reflexes? I beg to differ! Wesker's one weakness minus an overdose is darkness, he can't see more than a few feet in front of him. So to actually catch a missile with his bare hands after it's already inches from his face, a lot tougher than jumping through a fan!
If this isn't enough to put down Wesker, he'll surely feel have a hugeass stomach ache, and severely weakened.
The Power Staff isn't much more than an RPG, and we all know how Wesker deals with those.
In any case, getting off a shot with that thing after already engaging in h2h will be pretty complicated. Wesker's not just gonna let him pull it out and shoot. Who's to say he won't just grab that staff and bully it away from Slade using his superior strength?
