Power theory crafting time: Chucky

What power Chucky could have? I have honestly no idea since I never saw anything with this character. Reading quickly wiki I learned it some guy spirit trapped into this doll but still capable of full adult strenght.

So he is short, means maybe stealth? Maybe he can jump on people from distance to attack them? Something like Victor without Sharlot? Idk.🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

    Maybe the multiple knives thing was a bigger hint than we thought. Chucky is known for using a multitude of weapons, so perhaps his power is some kind of weapon-master ability where he can either find new weapons lying around or gets to swap on a cooldown. Maybe I'm just dumb, or maybe they're saving that for when Jason eventually shows up.

    In my opinion, there is a fairly high probability that Chucky will be a stronger Gemini (or knight) to some extentLike they will move into something or someone /control technology (in one of the relatively new films whose name I don't remember, he kind of did it)

    I'd imagine stealth. That's all I've got lol

    Not too sure about stealth. A big part of stealth killers is having appropriate counterplay. Probably be a chase-oriented killer. The best way to design Chucky's gameplay would be similar to Twins.

    In the later movies and tv series he was able to split his soul into multiple dolls so that could be something.

    That his power is map control by allowing to go to different good guy dolls on the map or something

    Now THAT would be interesting power. Like a set up biopods from Singu, but you can suddenly take control over them. Like having X Victors placed around the map lmao.

    I would put my bet on Victor type power with teleport. His teleport power probably will work like Twins where you will switch your soul between dolls. So this will give him some map mobility.

    And maybe some stealth as well.

    Honestly I have no idea, for some reason I just imagine him being really fast. Like literally just a M1 killer with crazy movement speed.

    I am pretty sure he uses a baseball bat somewhere. Wich would also be cool I think.


    Maybe it would be cool to have a lot of dolls around the map so survivors can't tell which Chucky is the real one. Something like that. As stealth and surprise . Just thinking out loud here.

    Or maybe not a popular one : something with his bride. A duo sort of speak?

    I've said in the past & its already been mentioned here too.

    Various dolls spread around the map (think sadako tv's) teleport to any of them (on a cooldown of course)

    Fixing a gen with a doll sat right there looking at you.

    Is it just a doll or are you screwed? Weapon wise he could littlerally have anything or everything! He's probably used just about every weapon every current killer has! Including a chainsaw! Maybe he can switch out.

    I imagine hooks will be on a chain & he'll drag survivors to them.

    Though I guess voodoo powers & so much crazy in the movies / series he could be & do virtually anything!


    Regardless once he's in I don't care who or what comes after even if hes not strong I've mained trapper for 6 years i'll be fine!

    I mean... Is Chucky a "license with big L"?

    I've never considered Chucky as something big tbh (no offence).

    Aside from Xenomorph (Alien). That was actually a License with big L.

    Chucky was ( and for me still is) a big deal in the 80s/90s. They didn't do him good in the latest series on netflix. Also they went a stupid direction with his bride. but before that, chucky was great in those early days.

    I would love to see him place traps to trip you up, like being able to set trip wire in loops.

    I consider based on popularity. Very little ammount of people in my county watched this movie (I didn't) and hardly knows about Chucky.

    Imo Chucky is one of the biggest ones they don't have yet, especially with Friday the 13th being out of the picture for the moment.

    Not only was Chucky among the other 90's horror icons he also unlike them never really stopped. The first half of the 3th season of his tvshow was just last month.

    The reason why twins haven't been reworked. Chucky and Charles are the new twins

    Could’ve (should’ve?) done a Chucky/Tiffany combo… maybe sth where you switch between them and they each have their own separate powers; The one not being immediately used would have a AI like status where they disrupt Survivors from doing objectives or sth.

    Anything moderately NEW would be welcome.

    Devs often just regurgitate and mad scientist former Killer’s powers into a “new” power.
