This is just how powerful Sadako is lore wise for those who haven't seen the movies.
Sadako Yamamura is by far the most powerful killer and I'm now going to explain why.
Before I explain I want to specify that I'm talking about the movie version of the character.The original novel version is many in different ways and her powers revolve around a smallpox virus that causes heart attacks.
Nensha: Nensha was an ability she inherited from her human mother (her dad is a water spirit/demon btw). Nensha has a wide variety of skills but is mostly used to burn images/thoughts into objects and people's minds. It normally is just used to let people see memories but she can also use it to instantly kill people by overloading their mind. She can also use it to create illusions and enter people's dreams. Any damage she deals in the dreams affect their real body.
Healing: She is able to heal other's wounds, let a crippled man walk, curse blindness and revive the dead.
Telepathy: Can read other people's minds and talk to them.
Telekinesis: Can lift massive objects with her mind and shake entire streets of large buildings.
Super strength: She can lift people with a single hand and easily tear a human apart.
Future sight: Sadako is able to see the future and look into the past.
Psychic aura: Her psychic powers are so powerful that any human standing near her will gain psychic powers. This is how Yoichi got powers btw.
Hair: She can control her hair like an appendage and grow it to cover buildings. this hair is strong enough to rip people and other ghosts apart and drain someone's energy/lifeforce.
Technology: She is able to completely control all electronics, using them to spread her curse or even explode.
Flight: She can fly/levitate and move at speeds faster than the eye can detect.
Mind control: She can control living people. She can give said controlled people super strength to kill others with ease. She can do this to multiple people at once including those with psychic powers.
DNA altering: She can alter someone's DNA. she once changed a man's DNA so his offspring will be identical to her.
Teleportation: She can teleport to anywhere on the planet instantly.
Invisibly: She can become invisible and can chose if a specific person can see her.
Water control: She can control massive amounts of water.
Bugs: She can create and control massive amounts of bugs including locust and cicadas.
Death vision: Looking in her eyes will instantly kill you. This has worked on other onryo and demons.
Duplication: Sadako is able to multiply herself to create an army of duplicates that can be in multiple places at once.
Weather manipulation: She can control the weather including a massive typhoon that affected all of Japan.
Size: She can change her size to as big as a building to as small as a finger.
Necromancy: She can turn the people she's killed into an army of minions.
Dimensional powers: Sadako created a dimension that she can pull people into. It's near impossible to escape from and she is all powerful there. She is able to create portals to this world through any technology and reflection. Her bugs can also form together into a portal. (The forest with the well is apart of this dimension btw).
Absorption and fusion: she is able to absorb other supernatural beings. in her crossover with the Grudge she meet Kayako, another onryo like her. She fused together with her to create Sadakaya. another time she met the demon king of the underworld. She then overpowered him with her hair and absorbed him, adding all of his power to her own.
Her Curse: Anyone that goes near her corpse or anything her Nensha has burned will get her curse. She can control and manipulate these people all she wants as shown above. it's impossible to remove. Giving someone a copy of her tape won't remove the curse, she will simply spare you.
Basically, she is more powerful than any other killer in the game.
So Behaviour,i'm not asking her to be the most powerful killer in the game,i'm asking so she can at least not be the weakest and the most prone to bullying from survivors.She is far too strong to be given a power this weak in Dead by Daylight,please buff her soon.

Because she's the daughter of a god,I think she is considered a half god.

Her pov is so damn short. She's not the little girl from The Ring, Sadako was 19.

The curse part is pretty simple, you just have to make a copy of the videotape you watched and show it to someone else, and the curse will move from you to them. Of course we have better technology now so you can probably send them a YouTube link and be done with it.

Sadako with 2022 technology would just wipe the earth.

Sadako on the movies: I am going to get my revenge by spreading my curse through the whole planet and those who do not spread my word will get killed in the most horrific way possible 👹👹👹

Honestly, Sadako deserves respect. Though I haven't heard about a few of those powers, I have watched a lot of her movies and it really makes you respect her. Her music in DbD is intense as well! I really hope they do buff her.
It'd be so cool if they some changed/added Nensha to her power. This sounds a bit strong but imagine if they allowed her to choose a gen in intervals that she'd burn something onto that would give a debuff to/hurt anyone that goes there.

She was "just" psycher able to instill images of terror on people and make them die of fear/heart attack, then her powers became bound to a cursed tape after dying on the original Ring novel but the franchise expanded exponentially with plenty of novels, films, mangas etc and power creeped on her so now has an arsenal of powers at her disposition.
She has like 15 movies, 7 mangas, 6 novels, 2 tv series, short films and radio shows, imagine if you add only one thing to her in every new installment to spice things up.

This is not Sadako in the bottom GIF. That is Kayako Saeki, a different, yet similar onryō, she is the primary antagonist in The Grudge series and is an entirely different character from Sadako. Also, Sadako has never been portrayed to use her hair (aside from the non-canon The Ring vs The Grudge movie when she merges with Kayako to become Sadakaya, a demonic amalgamation of the two ghosts with both of their respective powers), so I don't know where you are getting that information from.

Ringu fanboy here, Sadako has never been shown to use her hair as a weapon, and I think you may be confusing her with a similar antagonistic onryō, (The Grudge) Kayako Saeki, who you referenced later in the post. Similarly, Sadako has never been shown to fly (or move particularly fast while in a visible form). Also, she has never been shown to physically touch something after her death, so I am not sure how you deduced that she has super strength. Also, you clearly do not understand how Yoichi got his powers (which are minorly clairvoyant at best), so I will explain it to you. In the first Ringu movie, Sadako curses Yoichi's mother and father (Reiko and Ryuji). They learn the origin of the tape and set Sadako's dead body to rest with a proper burial, with Reiko creating a copy of the tape and sharing it in that period. When Reiko does not die at the end of her seven days, they assume that the curse was lifted, but a few days later when Ryuji dies at the deadline, Reiko realizes that the real way to lift the curse is to make a copy, so she rushes to Yoichi and helps the child copy the tape, sparing his life. Reiko, like Sadako and her mother, although to a lesser degree, was a clairvoyant, and had a strong extra-sensory perception. As Yoichi grows up, he begins to experience the same phenomena as his mother, so he likely inherited his clairvoyance from her, not Sadako. I love Sadako and her lore so much, and as much as she is the most powerful killer in the game (lore-wise), she does not need her powers inflated via misinformation to make her strong, please do your research before complaining about her powers and getting it wrong.

She is extremely powerful. Wasn't there a vaccine that was created which defeated her? A vaccine that protected people from her, and another virus which infected only Sadako copies, resulting in them aging really fast? She was really powerful, but science defeated her, unless I'm missing something?
