Give Spirit her old vault animation back

And before you even begin, I'm not talking about the one where she just teleport to the other side, I am talking about the one where she slowly phases through the window/vault. Her new animation looks extremely weird and does not suit her at all. Also, you can't mind game survivors when you are vaulting now which hinders her a bit. Just give her back her old vault animation!

    She should not "mindgame" Survivors while vaulting any different than other Killers do. I dont even know if she had a proper vault animation before that one.

    But I agree that she should have a different Vault Animation, this one does not fit at all and just looks stupid on her.

    I want the phasing to come back, but there could be the start animation (she can grab the window, but phase the rest of the way through). That way she has a mindgame potential with it, but attentive survivors can see it coming.

    I still pretend I'm vaulting as I'm phasing. Some survivors still don't know or just panic when they think you're about to vault.

    BHVR is too scared of making new animations so I doubt we will see any change ever

    her old vault animation? there wasnt one. she just stood there and then, out of nowhere, she was on the other side.

    That was only from the perspective of survivors. For the killer, she stepped forward and phased through the window. Like a, well, spirit.

    Her current vault animation is awful. I wish they'd just kept her phasing through the window; they could've added a tell at the beginning to get rid of the mind gaming aspect. Instead, they ruined part of her amazing aesthetic.

    I'd like a more "fitting" animation as well, but not one that makes it unclear if she's vaulting even if the survivor sees her doing it.

    Clown huffing and puffing while vaulting so the survivor doesn't even have to see him doing it to know he's vaulting, on the other hand... that shouldn't be a thing 😄

    I do want it just from a variety standpoint, it would fit her if she just flows through it, I would want that for Freddy as well.

    No benefit, just a sorta unique animation, like demogorgon has.
