sadako sucks

I frankly do not know why survivors do not gain passive condemned from carrying a tape anymore. The fact that they can retrieve them with pretty much no consequences is absurd.

im not gaslighting you, im asking you a genuine question you seem to be avoiding with immense effort which makes me think my initial assumption was very much correct.

if you get looped for minutes on this killer and, judging by this response, you are, then i suspect you're overcommitting too much in chases. that's not a smart idea, you're supposed to play hit&run with her and utilize your strong sides - mobility and stealth, force survivors to rotate around the map and catch them out of position.

her power requires constant attention to shut down and that one way or the other grants you value. it's just a matter of how you use it.

it might be a good idea to watch strong onryo players and what decisions they make throughout the match. Onryo is a killer whose power requires high skill and game sense to use which most players in this game don't develop because they focus too much on mechanical skill and chase aspects of the game.

Her power gives her a lot opportunities and possible moves she could take throughout the match, however they aren't obvious. It's unsurprising that even after playing her for years you still might not be able to make correct decision in the match all the time and that often loses you games.

Winstreaks just prove people suck at the game lmao

Like if you look at momo's2000 streak Is just 99% people not looking behind them and giving up

Literally remember going into Willie 's stream and people giving up 4 games in a row, and if you saw the marches you would get bored pretty quickly

Most of strategies fell apart against good teams.

They cannot be taken as a sample because compared to their non-expert counterparts they are much less representative in percentage.

Sadako has to be played in an alternative way than the other killers, there are several strategies that you can find quite easily around and implement.

good point, yes

if we compare killers exclusively vs strawman "good teams" then we should abandon the concept of tiers altogether. we will have nurse, blight, billy and everyone else.

like, be ######### real, there are NO killers except blight-nurse-billy who stand a chance against the strawman competitive meta running map offering SWF that is playing seriously. that's just how the game works, boo-hoo, deal with it. Teams like that dont care if you're playing doctor, xenomorph or whatever other trash, they're efficient enough to boil the game down to 2-3 chases (or slightly more if you have 4 slowdowns that trigger off fresh hooks, in which case you'll have a person dead on hook MAYBE + freshes on everyone else assuming they give you that) and then escape giving you a single kill at most. Good news is that people who yap about tiers more than anything else usually lack skill to compete with such teams ANYWAY.

Don't forget that there like a condemn auras radius for survivors to realize they can be condemn. Like why do they need to know when they can just grab the tape....

Disagree. Mained her. Perfromed well without slugging, ring drawing or iri tape.

Hello! sadako main too. I do empathize with some of your comments, yet I do not find her as weak as people suggest she is. I’m pretty sure I am almost at max MMR with her because every match is hard and I get a bunch of p100 survivors that loop like gods and bring over everything to destroy me. I do believe she needs some love and I made a post with a few suggestions, I’ll post them here so I can get some feedback.

1- One of the main issues with Sadako is the perks she needs to run to perform against a good team. The thing is, you kinda have to forget about any aura reading perks or location perks so you can have enough slowdown or chase potential to actually have a fighting chance. My first suggestion would be: Make survivors carrying a tape scream and reveal their aura for 3 seconds every 15 seconds or so.

2- Make survivors hindered by 2-4-6% depending the amount of condemnation they have.

3- At full stacks of condemn, injure the survivor, then he needs to deliver the tape, heal or risk being downed. It would grant condemn a bit more of risk.

4- For every 3-6-7 stacks of condemn, a pallet is locked. Like 1 pallet for 3, 2 pallets for 6 and 3 pallets for full condemn.

5- Survivors carrying a tape that are healed, share a condemn stack, or basically, if a bunch of survivors are grouped for 10-15 or whatever, and they have any amount of condemn, they spread a stack.

Idk, I am just thinking, I am not suggesting implementing all of these.

then it's evidently a skill issue, no offense.

sadako struggles hard only against comp level swfs as shown by multiple showcases by various CCs like hens and even so she makes them SWEAT to get a win because any mistake is punished hard.

anything below is perfectly crackable as long as you're good enough with the killer.

I don't really care and didn't really care about otz opinion on her now and back then. He didn't nearly play her as much as other people and didn't even try to play her to perfection, which took a lot of practice, or even understand what that needed.

Sadako was very difficult to perform well with against better teams because her power was so undertuned. Many of my games saw me losing 3-4 gens before I got condemned going. From there though, the game often turned in my favour.

She was more of an all or nothing character that had to be played almost perfectly to stand a chance.

However, she had a chance. Killers like Trapper or Myers did not have this chance.

Not d tier in my opinion. Somewhere in lower c.

i addressed everything and you deflect it by calling it trolling.

i cant help you any more than giving you a perspective you refuse to accept because of your heavily screwed viewpoint.

" considering how low her skill floor is" This makes me question if you even play her at all.

I dont really teleport much, maybe 2-3 times in an entire round and still get wins from the on/off switch of her terror radius. But any killer struggles against a swat team, even my 100 xeno they can just dance around (didnt help that his new outfit kinda screws up your tail strike aiming lol)

I disagree that Sadako is better than release (which I'm assuming you're referring to as 1.0).

Sadako is objectively in the weakest state she has ever been in (for live builds if we aren't counting the state she was in for 2 weeks at the start of this version where her power was on a 15 second cooldown).

1.0 Iri tape facilitated you to be able to play full condemn which could get you multi-hundred win streaks as showcased by OnePump and facilitated no condemn builds because your TV's were in your control and thus you could consistently use them for builds like make your choice.

2.0 Sadako (tape breaking) Sadako had counterplay to survivors stealing her power (exactly how it should be).

Current Sadako it doesn't matter if you are the greatest Sadako player in the world, your power is held hostage by the survivors with 0 downside and there is LITERALLY nothing you can do about it. I say this as someone who has won every single match vs her when I play with my friend.

The problem is people play 1 game as her, spam TP again survivors who don't know what they are doing, get a 4k then say she's insane. In reality the second you play vs 2-3 people who understand your power and actually play against it properly like most survivors do for every other killer in the game, she literally has no power. This could be stopped in 1.0 with iri tape, this could be stopped 2.0 basekit, this can't be stopped in 3.1 no matter your addons.

Seems like an appropriate word to use for a situation when a person makes an incorrect statement purely as a reaction to a word they didn't understand in context.

Either way you're free to disagree, the fact you can't argue any further than that proves I'm right.

Sadako takes barely any skill to pick up and the fact she has such big killrates proves that. Her power's difficulty is dictated by survivors performance which makes her uber easy to play on beginner level and very difficult on master level.

now you're just coping and insulting me because your ego doesn't let you let me have the last word.

i think you should stop making such a big drama out of it and reconsider your position on this matter. maybe sadako isn't as hard you thought she was and your perspective is a bit flawed. A killer with no extra mechanical skill required and whose power must be manually countered by survivors at all times is going to be easy to pick up by definition.

please calm down and have a nice day!

That doesn’t make much sense - if she was that easy to pick up and do well with then her pick rate would be higher but she’s currently the 8th least played killer in the game.
