Jason
I just watched spookyloopz recent video and here are a few things I want to say.
His power is pretty cool, at least going invisible and appearing at a palette or window is, the throwing a spike thing is alright I guess… just not very interesting to me.
His animations? Oh man they do not look right to me, though I might just be nitpicky. It might just be the video it showed and it possibly being slightly outdated but the animations are either too stiff or too smooth and I just don't really like it. In his weapon wipe his arm bends unnaturally, and his wrist while holding his machete looks awkward. The moris are okay I guess.
Again these might be nitpicky but it's just something I'm a bit disappointed in, assuming they aren't reworked for release.
Anyone else feel like this?

The animations will probably be polished from PTB to live. Having a projectile, however, is not good at all, and that will not change, no matter how much feedback is received.
I don't really mind the projectile, it's unique enough to me, not saying it's the most creative thing ever though.
Animations are never worth complaining about when the chapter is still in PTB state. They're guaranteed to be polished and will look much better upon release vs now.
As for the power, Omnipotent Evil is really cool and on brand for Jason. He's brutal, powerful and really does embody what it means to be the OG slasher.
The spike is middle ground. Disregarding whether or not it suits Jason, it does look incredibly fun. It has a lot of power behind it as survivors are thrown a considerable distance from the force alone. The three mori's are amazing and are really on brand in my opinion for what the chapter is, and what Behavior has to work with.
In terms of how Jason looks, its not amazing, but I think its secretly genius. Depending on what they have access in terms of his various looks, they will make a killing off of his purchasable cosmetics. Not just to have their favorite slasher look, but also ditch the not so great base look.
Personally, to me, the newer Jason doesn't really look THAT different from the older Jasons. I see the differences don't get me wrong, but to me they don't really make him look better or worse. He is just a bit smoother I guess. The spike does look pretty satisfying though so I hope to have fun with that, though it would have been cool if there were like different alternative weapons he could have used along with spikes, but eh it isn't the end of the world.
I'll reserve judgement until I see it myself.
However, if he just ends up being ANOTHER boring, projectile slop killer that we NO NOT NEED, I probably won't forgive BHVR for being so creatively bankrupt on a killer they could have done so much more with.
Why am I getting downvoted for this?
killers that you cant just hold w on for half the map arent well liked typically
Probably because its not unique at all and is just a reskinned M2 to zone until free hit ability.
