I mean ya she can do some fun stuff but she is still the OG as far as i know. Spirit has lost a lot since D audio but we will have to see how much people figure her out now that she is out of beta. So like Gannman and Haunter i know you 2 have been the hardcore spirit players I am just curious if Sadako is more your thing now?

    their play style is veeery different tho. the reason why spirit is strong is different from the reason why Sadako is strong

    Literally all they share in common is their Japanese roots so I don’t understand this question.

    She's closer to Myers or Ghostface where she just kind of appears really close but with a map presence imo.

    Dw Gann was having a meltdown worrying Sadako would play even slightly like Spirit, he wouldn't change if his life depended on it

    Apart from character inspiration they’re nothing alike, also Spirit is still a top tier killer while Sadako definitely feels C tier at best, which pains me as I love the films.

    Hopefully she’ll see some more buffs in the future

    Tbf we can tag @TheGannMan to double check but I had to reassure him on discord they didn't play anything alike 😭😭 when I say he's the #1 spirit fan I mean it

    For me spirit on console was too much nerf, on console I said, i was main spirit not anymore too hard to play with her and the high MMR, Sadako look more fun now

    Spirit is still way more interesting. Sadako is ight but there’s really nothing special about her.

    Spirit is my love and no one can replace her for me. Sadako had no shot beating her.

    Exactly, and since Sadako does it better, I will be jumping ship. Goodbye, Spirit. I will not miss you.

    HELL NO!

    Onryo/Ringu/Sadako is the WORST "stealth" killer in the game, because just like the noisy "PTB ghost face" debacle, while using her stealth power (de-manifest) she emanates a 24 meter radius omnidirectional "Lullaby" sound that warns survivors well ahead of time that you're both in stealth, and in their area. While this makes sense for Ranged killers, It has no place amongst the Stealth ones. Survivors don't even need Spine Chill to know she's coming their way; Now add in the fact that she also makes noises with every single usage of her power and interaction she performs, all of which are directionally audible to survivors, and you have at best an "Imitation stealth" killer. Many people have claimed that she's like Combining "Wraith With Freddy", but I strongly feel she's more like Combining Demogorgon (loudest killer in the game, features a teleport mechanic) with Pig (directionally audible power). Being that when she is using her De-manifested mode, and she's still intermittently visible to survivors within 24 meters... the freaking "Lullaby" is OVERKILL and obviously intended for the most "Baby/Noobs" of survivors. This level of condescension or "hand holding" by the devs is just insulting to me at this point!

    These are the reasons survivors always know She's coming for them when you're playing as her, as (OBVIOUSLY) anyone with ears, or a good headset, easily turns her into a base M1 killer with an easily avoidable teleport gimmick (TP'ing to a TV gives survivors a directionally audible warning), and a "timewaster" mechanic that wastes no ones time (Seriously the condemnation mechanic is less threatening and way more "Sad" in execution, as opposed to the actual "Threat" it's meant to present). Funny enough, if you use a perk like Dark Devotion, or Trail of Torment, and just choose to not use her power to de-manifest, you get a proper undetectable status without her freaking "Lullaby" activating. Sigh... These devs man...


    At least with Spirit, I can still Mind-game survivors even with her directional audio, and at least when using her power she's 100% invisible. Spirit is still, by far, the better "Japanese Ghost Character" choice for getting an edge on survivors.
