The Spirit's Kill animation... doesn't look right.

So we all know how The Spirit Kills Survivors, yes?
They actually warp straight up to their feet as if they were injured the whole time that she would be Killing them.
This would actually make sense if The Spirit had an ability that allowed her to instantly Kill Survivors from injured or healthy, like The Shape, but she doesn't. Unless BHVR are planning to make a perk or a change that allows her to do that - to kill from injured or healthy.
But it doesn't make sense that her signature Kill isn't done to a Survivor who starts off on the ground.
You can't even categorise her Kill under "ones where Survivors attempt to get back up", because they literally look like they were never down to begin with.
There are only two other Kills in the game where Survivors try to get up, and those are The Cannibal's and The Nightmare's.
Unless BHVR are planning to let The Spirit instantly kill Survivors - which I highly doubt since they flat-out refuse to make her actually playable without add-ons and perks - I don't think this Kill looks right.
Maybe if she picked them up to stab them then did the rest of the animation, it'd be okay. But as it is now... doesn't make any sense at all.

    Bah gawd. It's literally unplayable.

    No, it's really not that big a deal. She has one of the cooler moris in the game. I don't think it would be improved by adding a short standing animation first. It already feels fairly long and they likely needed it to be that exact length. It may have been cut from it.

    I agree. At least for Leatherface there's the animation of them trying to get up with difficulty and for Freddy it seems like they just woken up and are confused... with the Spirit they just stand up and stay still for no reason. The animation is cool and all, but this detail bugs me everytime.

    Actually, i was wondering the same. Why do the survivors stay still and wait for the execute? It makes no sense and for me its a huge minus point for the spirit.
    I need immersion as much as possible and that makes no sense at all...
    Would love to have it a little bit edited actually.

    I watched a player get moried by her and they stayed on the ground as they got cut up
