Spirit passive phase
Why does the spirit need to fade in and out when she walks? How am I supposed to win mind games when I can’t even see when she turns directions? Her power is good and I feel like this is an unfair addition especially in non comp where she could literally pub stomp without her power due to this mechanic

She's definitely one of the trickier (imo) killers to learn to counter. I imagine she has a pretty high kill rate in lower MMR brackets. She has directional phasing to help predict where she is coming in from, but I've personally never been able to work it out that well. I don't think my brain is wired that way. Her phasing has a limit, so if you have distance then holding W can be effective enough. If she's close, then try and be unpredictable in your movements (also be wary of your environment as grass can give away your location). Crouching also lowers the volume of your cries if injured, so you can try throwing some of those in too when she's close and trying to pinpoint your location. This can sometimes result in a missed hit. If you own her yourself, then hop into a customs match and play as her against the bots so you can get a feel for her add-ons and what she sees on her end.
But at the end of the day, a good player is a good player, and they win a lot as a result. There might be nothing you can do that throws off a good Spirit.
Pub stomp? What? Spirit is fine. Have you ever tried playing as her? It’s not as easy as you might think. She’s good in the right hands, but takes quite a while to get good at.
If you're getting 4k'f by a spirit NOT using her power that's a massive skill issue. Her powers directional and you can hear where she's coming from if you're listening. This isn't an insult I'm curious if you might have hearing problems then I can understand where you're coming from. However current Spirit is far weaker than where she used to be. Before you couldn't tell if Spirit was standing still, using power, or leaving you to grab someone off a gen near by because before she had no audio que you just kinda had to pray you won the exchange
So sadako is also too strong? Because she does the same. Actually if we only count the passive blinking sadako is even stronger with the newspaper because she is 4.6 and spirit only 4.4 xD
Also you have to predict where she is. If you saw her light a second ago and now it's gone chances are good that she changed direction simply because you don't see her anymore and it's effective. Of course she could also gamble on the fact that you think that and just keep running, but there's a reason it's called a "mindgame" xD
Dont forget she does it longer than spirit and has addon that makes it even more stronger plus as you say she is faster and smaller.
And even with that she js weak killer.
Respoding to op, spirit also has directional audio, not when phasing, just by existing. You can use her audio to know where she is even through walls.
However the tomi skin bypasses this, bhvr should be looking to fix that stuff.
I don't enjoy playing or playing against spirit and i am thankful that she does not get played a lot.
Due to her wide range of possible speeds and phase durations due to addons it's impossible for me to predict her reappearance.
Apparently i am deaf too because i can't pinpoint her location while she's phasing.
The passive phasing is just the cherry on top.
I hate you "It's just a phase mom" i keep getting you as killer in my quanton matches.
That's why I mentioned the newspaper, I believe that was the one that makes the duration of your passive phasing after demanifesting longer. There is also one that does this manifested, but you can't attack anyways like this, that's why I only mentioned the newspaper.
And yep she is pretty bad at loops, although if you time the disappearing right you can indeed get some hits on smaller loops :D
to the people who misunderstand, I’m not saying she’s overpowered. The scenario im talking about is as follows. On a medium to small loop with a thrown pallet, I’m trying to wait for the killers movement to make a choice but due to the passive phase she gets to turn directions and gain 2-3 steps before she phases back in (not power as she walks naturally) then lunges. And on console the character always seems to be a step behind on killers screens giving me less time to hop the pallet. It’s just incredibly frustrating to lose mind games due to a passive mechanic
I’m not referring to her power, I’m referring to the natural mechanic that happens just as she moves around the map
Me too. Sadako has the same basically the entire time she chases you.
Of course you could also just don't manifest and demanifest as sadako and you wouldn't phase like spirit, but it's her only chasetool, so of course you do that.
