From what I read and seens it's another killer who has to have specific perks to play well. And it's getting old.

How's the New Killer?

I'm using her base perks and sloppy butcher (a great COH detergent on a killer who can just instantly be behind you). She definitely isn't that handicapped. I get the general killer frustration, I've had it in periods too, but I'm telling you this killer will be fine over time as people actually play with her kit. After all, this is a killer we've really been wanting for a while of you look at it from a certain perspective, a killer who isn't simply anti-loop but can contest a 4v1 as well as cut hold W short.
It just means making clever decisions with her power and yes, making a proper build will be key in higher ranks, but that's always the case, even with the top killers.

It seems like if you even attempt to play loops you lose.

Just like any killer, you don't want to overcommit to strong loops, but I wouldn't say she's uniquely bad at them. The fact she can transition to phase and out without loss of speed makes her mindgame already better at weak tiles, and you can take extra time to get a down if you need to, knowing you can just to to a gen in progress

She reminds me a lot of Ghostface. A killer whose main strength lies in being able to sneak up on survivors, but cannot afford to chase survivors.
She gives up the ability to instant down for better stealth (can't be broken out of it, no cooldown, has some invisibility) and map presence.
Both can't compete with the meta and both will have the same issues with open maps that offer little LoS blocking.
Good if the star align giving you a good map and a weak team, but ultimately will struggle against any good team.

She has no chase power.
She's worse than everyone except Legion at getting downs it seems.

Fun to play against but kind of bs. I went to cleanse my curse before it maxed out and she came through the tv i was interacting with which canceled the animation. It maxed out my curse when she came through and she managed to kill me before i reached my first hook.
It’s sort of like when you have a reverse bear trap counting down and the pig hooks someone right by the last box. It’s on me for not watching my meter, I get that, but I don’t think she should be allowed to immediately fill your meter like that while you’re in mid animation.

No it's more like if a killer has to loop you lose as of late.

I haven't got to play her as I'm on console so I haven't made a solid opinion on her it's all off what I've seen. She's also brand new so we all need time.

Yeah, it'll definitely be interesting to see how she pans out. Right now my thinking is she's actually more similar to Pig than Wraith in that Pig and Sadako are both kind of like stealth killers who have a built in slow down mechanic. Sadako has better mobility and map presence than Pig but Pig's slowdown ability might be a bit more effective. Either way though I actually enjoy playing Pig so in that respect I'm looking forward to playing Sadako too. 🙂

My biggest worry is another pinhead. He looked great had awesome animations but he feels really clunky and has a big skill shot with small rewards. I hope she plays as well as she looks. Mobility is a big thing for killers but if you can loop them for 2 minutes no amount of Mobility will make up for that. Now she does seem a bit different from other killers I just hope it's not pretty cover and it turns out the gameplay is the same as everyone else( I'm looking at you artist)

Give her time man, that's all I can say

everyone needs to just give it a few days to see where she’s at. Gonna take some time to figure her out.

It took all of 30 seconds to realize there are issues thanks to the game's current status quo. What makes you think this killer will be worth the money and somehow not going to get nerfed or screwed when it goes live. It happened before and I don't seeing it changing now.

And if she sucks then what?
Right now hit and run is terrible, the second chance perks are becoming a problem and the matches as times are a lose lose affair thanks to how forgiving they made survivor gameplay. So why would this killer fix that even in the slightest of ways?

Like I said we should give it a few days. It’s only day one.

Maybe by day 2 her power will change. I bet the survivors will forget how to loop an m1 killer by day 3. And by day 4, we will discover a secret tech that lets you teleport through TV that have been powered off.
I agree, let's wait and see.

I guess but I have no hopes for this killer.

Can't compete against the top.

She desperately needs buffs to her Condemn mechanic. The stealth and map coverage is decent but with the whole curse element being as lackluster as it is, it just isn't enough.
1 -
She's not very good from my experience, but she's fun to play and play against. But if she doesn't get buffs (and let's be honest, if she does they'll be minimal) you won't see her much at all on live besides the first week of her release. I also feel sales of the DLC will be low because the killer isn't good and there isn't any game breaking must have perk.

I can't really tell if she's good or not yet. She has good map pressure and she is a stealth killer. But she doesn't have anything that can help her in chases

Sadako stealth is not stealth at all,you know she's coming from miles away.

To be fair, it is more stealthy than a standard killer? Ha ha ha...

So what's her weapon supposed to be? I can't imagine what It'd look like at prestige I.

It's the same symbol but red instead of green IIRC

She’s Undetectable with no terror radius and even at close range is invisible half the time (i.e. about 1 second invisibility alternating with 1 second visibiliy). She’s as much a stealth killer as Ghost Face or Pig, they’re both Undetectable, move the same speed as her and aren’t invisible at all.
