Please, Console Twins, HELP! I’m getting sick of missing pounce.

PS4 player here.

My first suggestion would be: play a bit of demogorgon, then come back to the twins. The reason for this is that even if you miss your shred attack, at least they can't kick you, it's a bit less infuriating. The mechanic of the charge / bait / re-calibrate is very similar, even if with Victor you have an higher degree of freedom (mainly: hit over pallets/windows).

This being said, my suggestion would be to not get overly close to the survivor, since they can easily spin you, and be extremely mindful of where pallets/windows are - usually survivors will try to vault them multiple times if you try to loop around them with victor, and you can mindgame them pretty easily with the correct setup.

The biggest tip that I can give you is take your time, but not too much time. The reason is that while you need a couple of seconds to be sure you can hit and study the survivor's behaviour (which is very important), you don't want them to actually exploit your indecision by gaining too much distance or simply reach a nice angle where you'll need to stop your charge anyway.

If you want to see a fellow console player, this is one of my "first" games with the new killer, I think I did decently (even though you can see I'm still trying to understand how they play, I keep on thinking that I have pop for example lol):

EDIT: also, you don't need to use Victor all the time that you have an injured survivor to try and close the deal. If you look at my previous video, there's a time where I'm chasing a Nea and explicitly say something like "I'm not using my power because I feel this girl knows what she's doing" - I acknowledge the fact that since

• I don't know the new map yet
• I don't know if she'll outplay me
• Charlotte is at the corner of the map anyway, while the survivor is running towards the center. If I miss with Victor, I lose her and a loooot of time to re-centralise

I end up using Victor when I feel she's in a much better spot for me, and even if I miss my first shred, I still close the deal.

I say this because you could say "every time you used Victor survivors were in a bad spot, obviously you'll get them!", but that's precisely the tip I'm giving you, at least while you learn the killer :P

Be patient. Watch for pattern. When they are juking they are usually not looking in front of them, so wait until they bump into an obstacle and their movement is limited. Also a lot of us console players don't expect pounces from far back since it's a lot easier when you're up close and personal there with the Baby, so you can take a risk and try to go for a few of those long pounces while they are running away in a straight line

I've been playing Victor similarly to Huntress actually:

• 1: Find a target, get Victor up close to them (or just within range if you're feeling confident), and charge up Pounce.
• 2a: Survivor is either going to play like a potato and pay you no mind, in which case you just predict their direction and Pounce on them.
• 2b: Or the survivor will actually use their eyes and perform evasive maneuvers. Wait to Pounce until you think they're about to dodge back into your attack's hitbox (much like with Hatchets).

It's been working pretty well so far and has landed me a lot of Pounces, though the extreme ease of removing Victor and the laughable Incapacitated status have still left the Twins feeling pretty unimpressive in my opinion (well, if they aren't primarily camping and slugging wherever possible). I've been on the cusp of Adept like 3 times tonight though; just had some really rough luck with Hatch spawns and survivors who were aware of the missing collision on part of Gas Heaven.

Majority of the time I use victor, I get as close as I can to the survivor before charging the pounce to minimalize misses. The further you are from them the more you have to predict their movement and try to land into them. But an aware survivor still makes it hard which is why I close the distance. It just takes practice for a while but high sensitivity helps as well

I main Blight on Xbox and it's like watching a power point presentation with how bad the frames are of Nea turning 2 degrees to the right to counter you're entire power.

I love playing them on my Xbox, and the best thing I can tell you is to treat Victor like a Hatchet and wait a moment; most of the time they just keep moving and it gets predictable.

But I think everyone just needs to calm down and have fun with the Twins instead of trying so hard - I have a much better time and at times I win.

Then all I can tell you is you're screwed dude.

It's gonna happen, it's literally inevitable in every game unless you're a literal God.

Just like in any game that requires aim, you will miss at times; and you either have to just get over it or practice harder.
