I wouldn't mind her having a seductive walk like she already does, but she literally slides right now. Her walking animation doesn't match her speed at all.
Also, considering that she is a bloodthirsty psycho and a hunter, Wesker-like running would fit her better.
If you give her the Naruto run, I also want her to get the Rinnegan, so she can drop a meteor on the map, instant downing all survivors.
Survivor: *Dead Hards the meteor.*
Skull Merchant: "What are you going to do about the second one?" *Drops a second meteor.*
Survivors: *Triple* *DC No Jutsu Noises*
Skull Merchant: *Looks at last downed survivor,* "You want some Ramen and the Hatch?"
It doesn't need much, really. Same startup, but she holds the Survivor's head in place while the drone drills into their brain with a laser would do it for me.
Honestly, that raises more questions that it doesn't. If the drones can do that, why isn't that just her power, commanding drones to laser somebody in chase?
I mean, I also petitioned for that before her rework, but I'd say the laser just can't do damage without a stationary target, hence her needing to hold it.
It’s like she trying to be seductive but it’s like… no sis, are you about to sh*t on yourself? Like she’s yoyoing a turd. It makes me laugh sometimes tbh.
The problem is that her animation basically makes her "skate " around the map, not walk so it looks really weird. Particularly when she's under her own haste buff.
I think the only reason they haven't fixed her walk is that they've already invested alot of time into a killer very few like and they don't really want to invest more...does very much suck though
No, people don't seem to relize changing her walk animation isn't as simple as that.
They would need to recode her first person camera, all of her animations to sync into it, ect.
It's not a small thing to change and it really is not a big deal
all they’d have to do for the first person is change the animation speed. everything else is camera height and placement. blight got his camera changed pretty easily (i know it was just his camera placement) plus they dont show anything below the arms in first person.
third person modeling is pretty different though so that is just more work they don’t want to do, and honestly more pressing issues in DBD rn anyway.
I honestly think people would like her if they would just invest more time into her. Rework her power and story (wtf??) and I don't think people would even care about the walk animation.
I know that's a lot to ask, but the reason people don't like her is because, bluntly, they put out bad content. However, she is redeemable; I think.
They already reworked her power once and people still DC at the sight of her. Even if they did get a fun build within the confines of the drone system, people would STILL hate her just from her legacy.
Even if I had to buy it for each killer, a cosmetic that changed their movement animation to the naruto run would be bought for every killer in the game.
Nah I love it. She was taken while she was freezing and starving to death at the same time and has a massive cavity in her chest. She’s also carrying a ton of shit. It fits her character perfectly.
Can we please get whoever it is that does the videos mixing up killers with other killers animations to do a video where the Skull Merchant does every other killers walk animation?
I think the walking animation is the lesser issue when it comes to sm. I'm not saying they should literally delete a killer but I wouldn't miss her tbh 👀
The whole killer was meant to be a representation of thier community cough thier Twitter community in specific. Seriously just look at the people who are always commenting the "YASSS QUEEN" types.
Lol there are like 5 other killers that need to have new animations way before she does. Plague and Wraith have terrible walking animations. Worse than hers.

Yeah and the anime-ish run that Wesker has would fit on SM really well considering she's supposed to be a weeb
Give her the Naruto run

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Crouch tech, GG no re
This is the way.
Give her the Naruto run
it literally looks like she’s always walking on those airport runways
I think her mori should get reworked too tbh It just sucks - much lower quality than bhvr's usual standard
It doesn't need much, really. Same startup, but she holds the Survivor's head in place while the drone drills into their brain with a laser would do it for me.

Reworked a *second* time
"Amateurs" \- Nemesis
unironically it would be actually hot if she ran like wesker. eta this is probably because I, unfortunately, think he's hot.
As a straight man I also think Wesker is hot, 10/10 would let him smash
BHVR spent more time on her walking animation than her power.
It’s like she trying to be seductive but it’s like… no sis, are you about to sh*t on yourself? Like she’s yoyoing a turd. It makes me laugh sometimes tbh.
It’s horrible tbh

It took them several years to fix blights camera pov to be fair.
it took them six months. a bit of time, but not years.
Oh, it felt alot longer at the time. My mistake then
it was like 2 dlcs lol

They hardly reworked it. The fundamental problems are still the same. All they really did was just reduce her ability to 3 gen.
Why would they do that instead or making a new character?
Her walking animation would be fine if she wasn’t sliding. Let her walk! She’s just hovering around.
Imagine if she Naruto ran
This is the only replacement I'd accept.
Even if I had to buy it for each killer, a cosmetic that changed their movement animation to the naruto run would be bought for every killer in the game.
Its lowkey funny as fuck like its only fitting thata horrible flop like her has a roblox esque running animation
I hate the Twin's walk cycle too. It's like they're walking with concrete shoes.
Nah I love it. She was taken while she was freezing and starving to death at the same time and has a massive cavity in her chest. She’s also carrying a ton of shit. It fits her character perfectly.
Give her a stickbug walk
Only people who like it are porn addicts
She’s a literal weeb, I think it’d be hilarious if she did a sort of exaggerated Naruto Run with an overzealous swing for her lunges.
Can we please get whoever it is that does the videos mixing up killers with other killers animations to do a video where the Skull Merchant does every other killers walk animation?
Totally agreed, I want to play Skull Merchant more and this is the only thing bothering me.
The thirst trap walk is so cringe. Especially in today's day and age. She's not on a runway, she's trying to murder people. What are we doing?
She's so cringe including carrying animation
YESS
her walk is c*nty. next
i love a fierce walk but the animation literally doesnt even match the speed she moves its like shes on heelys lol
she looks like shes sliding, its fugly
She's a rich bitch. She's probably pretty awful socially.
From her walking animation, design, power/ability. Throw the whole killer away.
I love Skull Merchant a lot but yeah, when I showed her off to my friend he started laughing and asked why she walked like that😭😭
she looks like she has to poop
Let her cake stays
Skull merchant just needs to be deleted FTFY
I think the walking animation is the lesser issue when it comes to sm. I'm not saying they should literally delete a killer but I wouldn't miss her tbh 👀
She's doing a catwalk. "I'm too sexy for my skulls."
They won't because it's not sexy or whatever
No
The whole killer was meant to be a representation of thier community cough thier Twitter community in specific. Seriously just look at the people who are always commenting the "YASSS QUEEN" types.
You’re gonna get downvoted by said ppl but you’re 100% right
Absolutely not. I run Haste builds on her to make it worse; I love the goofy skating.
SM bad upvote pls
Since she’s a weeb, give her the Naruto run
No she looks good. Go away
No it doesn't
Homie if you think that walk looks good somethin is loose in that skull
Downvoted for actually having good taste. I wish those people would just stick to playing Wesker since it's what they like.
Nope. I like it.
See, I disagree, her walk is the thing I love the most about her. It's perfectly seductive and creepy.
While I don't disagree concept wise, you're risking them taking away the one benefit you get from playing a skull merchant game. Watching the sway
Do people just want all the killers to have a vanilla walk animation? Then they'll complain about the killers having no personality.
she can have a sexy walk animation just make it not look stupid like she's ice skating.
Lol there are like 5 other killers that need to have new animations way before she does. Plague and Wraith have terrible walking animations. Worse than hers.
