The Spirit's voice kills her creepiness potential
When I play against The Spirit I am always kind of stressed out. Probably due to the mechanics of her being unpredictable and, oh god, the noise of her bones cracking when she chases you and she's closing in.
For this reason I feel like her random and funny "Haaah!" shouts are totally killing her vibe. When she does this she feels like overly dramatic martial arts artists or sword fencer. After checking the lore I couldn't find any trace of why she would be like this.
What made the Devs implement this? Is it an inside joke?
If it were me I would just remove this voice completely. Imagine any other killer doing something like that, it would instantly be less creepy and I could't take that killer seriously.

I find the noise she makes when she gets stunned hilarious

I think it's a matter of personal preference. Some people find the noises she makes add to the creepiness factor, rather than detracting from it.

She should make noises like the woman from The Grudge.

I actually don't mind her voice, makes sense given her backstory.
Although I wouldn't mind hearing her without the aggressive filter on top of it from time to time.

WHAAAaaaaaAAAaaAaaaa!

It would be so cool if when she gets stunned she screamed like she does in her mori, would be much creepier

I absolutely love em...gives her some fun personality. The "WHAAAAAAAHHH" and "GAHHHAAAAAHHH" when getting hit is jus š

During her PTB she didn't have a "voice" but just the background music. That was more creepy than what it is now.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by her voice?
She sounds like an evil chipmunk, there's nothing creepy about that just obnoxious.

Lmfao now all im ever going to see is this

Personally I like everything about her. In other words I ā¤ļø her
3 -
She sounds hilariously silly.

Damn, is this your OC? Totally nice!

No offense to Not_Queen, but Spirit was scarier without the voice. Nothing is threatening about Waluigi.

She sounds more like a Deadite from the Evil Dead franchise now. It's weird, but I got used to it and fits to a killer, who is annyoing to play against (just joking)

Spirit is probably the least creepy killer in terms of her voice and looks but in terms of her play she is the most deadliest.
If I had to choose which killer to sleep with, it definitely be spirit. Just saying if I had to choose. She is kinda cute.

She sounds like JigglyPuff on acid.
2 -
Not denying your point, but have you ever heard how over-dramatic Huntress is?
2 -
Okay dude, go make or buy a recording booth with a really good mic and make over 500 new spirit sound effects on top of editing and cutting the audio.

Huntress is EXTREMELY overdramatic. She isnāt intended to be a creepy killer though, Spirit is.
Iāve gotten used to the sounds she makes and Iām glad that at least you donāt have to hear a majority of the sounds while playing Spirit. She still sounds like Walugi though. The stun sounds Spirit makes is overdramatic just like Huntress...except Huntress is more exaggerated and longer than Spirit is.

I think spirit sounds are cool and totally in line with her character. I really love plague getting pallet stunned though. Sounds like she's swearing at the survivor in ######### ever language that is.
1 -
Thatās how Iām feeling inside when I get a pallet dropped on me.
2 -
Huntress is a child in an adult body though so the "tantrum" sort of makes sense.
5 -
Or you know go back to what she was in the PTB when she came out

*Legion stun noises*

I'm pretty sure people made multiple threads about this right after her voice change, but the devs still ignored all the feedback.
2 -
Not overly dramatic when you take into account she has the mentality of a 5 year old.
0 -
She goes "Hah!", like she won an argument.
3 -
It's hard to think about that while i'm murdering some Survs. š

I love how she sounds

It would have been nice if she had a pitch shifted voice saying japanese things
Attack - have her shout TARE which is what people say in kendo when they intend to strike the stomach or hips.
Stuns - Have her go from being annoyed to violent, starting with words like Uzai (annoying) shifting up to KUSO (the f word in japan) and then SHINE (pronounced shinay) which is basically wishing death on your enemy.
But we didn't get that sadly.

No... Because that would be cringey.
Like just imagine clown saying -"Come here Kiddies! Im gonna blow you up like a balloon!"
Hell even giving Freddy's some of his lines would be very unbearable .
That idea is literally on par with the English dub of Dio from Jojo saying "useless"

Yup, Ptb spirit was actually creepy, her basic breathing gave chills ( and still does when she doesnt make any other sound) and actually sounds like a Spirit, but now she just sounds like an angry Japanese grandmother, which she isn't, she's supposed to be in her 20 or something.
No offense to her VA, but currently she sounds like Waluigi and he's the least threatening thing in the world, she should get a sound update at some point like Billy did.
1 -
I hate this walugi sound. I actually alt tab out and don't bother wiggling cuz I can't stand this still voice.
2 -
You say cringey, I say fun.
We could get John Leguizamo to do the clown voice over since he was a creepy clown in the hit 1997 action film SPAWN.
Are you saying you wouldn't enjoy freddy saying "Hang out for awhile" when he hooks someone, I would.
0 -
It's a damn jumpscare for the killer though.
2 -
Someone did it.
Iām so proud of this community.

None of her lore says she's this "child in an adult's body" rubbish people keep saying.
Her mother died young and she lived a predatory animalistic life, but she hunts and kills people and has maternal instincts trying to raise children of her own.
She wears a mask to comfort children, not because she thinks she's 5 or something.

I completely hated it when she first came out. It totally ruined her character for me.
I got used to it after a while though and now it makes me laugh. The Spirit is more unique because of it I think.
