What power do you think Jason will have?
Now that we know for certain Jason is coming to the game and will most likely be playable on tuesday, what type of power are we thinking he will have?
Imo if they wanted to give Jason map mobility of any kind, i want it to be a teleport akin to Unknown or Onryo. If you have seen any Friday the 13th movie starting from part six or have played the game before it got shut down you know that Jason basically teleports, in part 8 when he is chasing someone who begins to climb a ladder the film makes it look like that Jason just teleported up to him rather then just climb after him, in the Friday the 13th game and in Mortal Kombat X as part of his Relentless variation he can teleport. I also hope his main power focus on him just being a behemoth and just straight up walking through breakable walls or even pallets Spirit Fury style, maybe like a rage meter or something.

I'm hoping for a rage mechanic and some ability to eat pallets like Bubba, Michael, or Nemesis. Then as a secondary power some stealth mechanic, since so many Friday the 13th movies are built around half the cast being killed while nobody is any the wiser.
The feeling that he could be anywhere, and when he does appear is brutally unstoppable is one of the core traits of Jason's behavior.

Knowing modern day DbD
Something that will either make him so strong no one will play against it or something very weak that no one will play.11 -
It's hard to find that decent middle ground 🤣
I'm certainly interested to see how it is. I haven't really watched the jason movies but he strikes me as a pretty direct brutal killer in the vein of myers/nemesis.

Well seeing how they gave myers a giant lunge hopefully they dont do that for Jason 🤣
Fingers crossed effort and thought was put into him.

I know a lot of people are saying "He's gonna be Trapper 2.0" but I don't think the devs will do that. Even killers like Springtrap that have parts that feel very (insert killer here) 2.0 are still very different mechanically. Idk a lot about Jason because the only Friday the 13th I've seen was the first one and I funnily enough watched it on my birthday an undisclosed amount of years ago because I was born on the 13th and it was a friday. So I thought, what better time to watch it than now? Though I want to actually watch the ones with Jason as the killer.

Knowing Jason Stealth, Teleport, possibly a rage/ insta down mechanic

This I think is going to be pretty close. If not an instadown, perhaps a juggernaut-type rage mode where he can essentially walk through pallets/breakable walls. But the stealth/teleport some almost a given to me.
And I am thinking maybe the now infamous shed will be a feature that appears on all maps when he is the killer, and he can choose from the weapons within. Or at least serve some purpose.

Maybe he can get a hex perk
Hex : C___ block : while this hex is active, any survivors healing eachother give you killer instinct mapwide.
A joke about how hes always going after couples having a good time lol

Probably dash slop knowing Behaviour. I really hope they do him justice though.

Yeah i hope so too. Such a big reveal it would be a shame for him to be a broken or lacklustre killer

I hope that the teleport, stealth and rage all make it into the game.
The throwing knives and traps were cool but I feel like that is just reheating trickster and trapper.
Shift-grabs will likely not make it into the game because we know BHVR.
And the aura reading is likely reserved for perks.

I think we're going to get a little bit of multiple things killer, like Dracula/Vecna. Not sure if this will be done by a power wheel, or just giving him a variety of powers.

I hope he’s the first Killer that can Pallet Stun Survivors.

I would be happy if they just copied the Friday the 13th game.

Rage mechanic will be like Singularity in overclock breaks things super fast and if jason is hit with a pallet it just breaks and isn't stunned

The Trapper 2.0 is uttered by anyone who is going heavily off of "Trapper is a stand-in for Jason", while knowing next to nothing about the actual films.
In the entire original franchise, Jason hasn't ever actuallty set a trap. The reboot 2009 Jason set one trap. Jason is not even remotely close to a trap adjecent killer. I really feel like the people reducing Jason to just a guy with a machete severally lack any sort of creativity.

I feel like people highly underestimate what they can do. Myers is just "Guy with knife" and they still took advantage of his main thing being a stalker guy with knife, I don't know why they can't do a similar thing with Jason. Take something he's known for outside of guy with machete and make that into the power. I've seen some people and creators mention a possible rage mode and I could see that with the limited knowledge I have about Jason.

A perk that blocks altruistic healing would be neat
