How would the killer from Ringu play like?
Like most people I'm only familiar with the screen adaptation and not the original novel, but if the movie mirrors the novel in any way, then the girl finds you and kills you after seven days. No stalking or chasing is required, so what power could she possibly have that would lend herself to chases? Part of me imagines an old Freddy-like power that would reveal auras from a certain distance, but I know nothing awesome like that is ever going to happen again. I just hope it's not yet another anti-looping killer. I really want them to think outside of the box with this one.

No, that’s the killer from Pingu

I’m thinking something to do with marking or cursing survivors so something bad happens. One idea I like is survivors who watch her for too long become cursed with Hindered or Exposed, so she’d be a killer that you actively want to avoid looking at which I think would make for a pretty tense ability for survivors. Imagine trying to keep an eye out for her and running away from her but also trying not to have her in your field of view.
She also could have televisions on the maps (in the places Jigsaw boxes might appear for example) which she can teleport through.

I really like that idea! Kind of like a reverse ghostface where you don't want to be looking at the Killer! The only downside about that is survivor mains would complain about her being too op since she would destroy survivors in loops since they can't look at her.

Thanks, it’s actually an idea I suggested before for a Medusa killer, but it works for the girl from Ringu too. 🙂
As far as being too strong or annoying on loops, I don’t think it would be overpowered in principle, it all depends on the details like how long you have to have her in view before you become cursed and exactly what condition or effect happens when you get cursed. Also you can hear killers and see the red stain without looking directly at them, so you can use that to help in loops. (Spine Chill is a thing that could help too.)

She would have 7 pools that slow survivors down, and a bunch of wells to teleport to. Oh and a crazy add-on that turns her pools into fake pallets.

Man I would hate to see stationary wells all over a map. That would definitely not be thinking outside the box, however at the same time it wouldn't surprise me. 😕

Nah I was just mocking Freddy's rework. I honestly have no clue how her power would work but I hope BHVR comes up with something unique like the way they made Pinhead's power.

I'm assuming it'll be some sort of teleportation power, maybe using wells or just 'shadows' she places on the ground. Similar to mint rag hag.

Whatever they decide to do I hope we get some good jumpscares with this killer (:

Yeah I really want something unique. The only thing that concerns me is that they had something really unique with Freddy, and then they completely abandoned it for something similar to what we have with other killers. Hopefully whatever they come up with here they don't change.
