I think your compromise in the last video is the best outcome for chucky. If they just make his cooldown 5ish seconds less but make scamper slower you’ll be rewarded with hitting good hits with slices and dice instead of these guaranteed pallet scamper hits

I think Scamper should be faster then it is now, but prevent you from doing it unless youre mid slice-n-dice.

[@gredezy]

​@@KirkPwns It would be a good change but I think that bhvr wouldnt do this because it would make the iri a lot less effective. And Im not sure about making scamper faster in general because the speed that its at is already fast enough if not too fast, but I think a shorter cooldown would and a longer scamper would be so much more helpful.

You know what could be really funny? As Chucky slides under the pallet, survs should have the possibility to vault it on the upside of the pallet.

I main Xeno and they're still insanely overtuned. They need to make the tail reactable.

Dying and losing is party of the game. That's why it called "Dead By Daylight"

[@jobo1799]

A good example of guaranteed hits was old pyramid head, where he could hold his ranged attack while u go through a pallet, and if you didn't drop it he could instantly M1 you with practically no buffer.

Yeah which felt like shit and is current day Xeno

[@Mr_Racooner]

Fun fact he wasn't actually nerfed. He still can hit you through the window during vault. Idk about now with buffed animations tho. But his power now forces a pallet drop instead, if the buffed speed means you don't get hit anymore that's great. But I always found it funny everyone dropped him because his "nerf" when in reality for the past few years he still could get hits like that, unless the survivor committed to the vault before you even dropped ability.

If you dropped the pallet, you got hit by the ranged attack. If you didn't, you got M1'd bc there was no cooldown on PH cancelling his ranged attack. I personally dropped him bc while the cooldown is necessary, it makes him feel soooo clunky. Wish they could have found a better change imo.

This is precisely the reason Wesker can't dash after vaulting a window/pallet even if he has a dash left.

[@dimasfahmi510]

Exactly! But i do understand why killer mains who never plays survivor hate that fact, i think wesker should be able to damage any survivor when he is stuck at the “after dash-vault” animation, it’s way to easy to abuse by the survivor and makes it pointless for wesker to fast vault using his dash.

[@Katana314]

I'll echo a creative idea someone mentioned in the last video: I can guess it could take some coding work on BHVR's part, but it would be really cool if survivors could vault pallets while Chucky is scampering through them. You might have brief fights where a survivor is deciding whether to stay glued to the pallet or run away from it. Chucky could still use scamper to catch up after someone has moved off of a pallet though.

[@joshuawadsworth6417]

Not a bad idea but behavior... Honestly I think the dev team needs to be re-evaluated.

These peolpe are just delusional and sad. Dont even bother. They wann make up for their lack of skill/experience by followowing the braind dead protocol of camping/tunneling. If someone relies on that in pub matches they are not just skill-less but also really sad individuals. Imagine absuing bs to make up for your own lack of skill at the despense of others fun. It is almost hilarious if peolpe try to make it as skill-less and brain dead as possible but are convinced that "winning" like that makes them good at the game...

[@Evalora]

i played both sides back when i played this game + switched moreso to survivor but i can still tell that you're invested in the mentality that killers should throw so low-end survs can win i guess that's what 'wholesome' looks like - the solo team in a 4v1 game sandbagging and often receiving bm from the 4 in and out of the match regardless

[@leonthegamer2839]

@@Evalora I think you didnt understand that correctly for some reason. As far as I understand it, it's about neither side trying to cheese a "win". Especially because cheesing a win ist not actually a win in the first place. However not cheesing doesnt mean you need to throw. That is not the same. I am pretty sure I do not throw as a killer but I also try to win by my own skill mostly. I dont wanna win because I am able to cheese sth. Like cool I won but it doesnt change the fact the other side is still way more skilled. This goes both ways of course but since a killer can decide how he wants to play every match quite easily and no such thing as soloq exists on the killer side, I encounter cheesing killers way more often then survs. But maybe it depends on what someone considers to be cheese. However overall I think you misunderstood the message. I hope I could help clarify it. :)

[@Evalora]

@@leonthegamer2839 ..do you not realize you're describing that exact mentality? 'killer playing in an unfavourable way to survivors = unskillful cheesing killer didn't truly win' i think i understand just fine actually - perhaps even moreso than my prior comment

[@leonthegamer2839]

@@Evalora I dont think so because that would mean that the only favourable way that exists means that the killer is cheesing/survivors are not having fun. But thats not the case. I had a couple of games against insane killer players that didnt rely on cheese and instead demolished the others and me by pure skill. I respect that and I still had fun and enjoyed trying to hold against it or learning from them. Dying didnt matter to me at all in that case. I also 4k myself against a 3 men squad and they actually wrote me and thanked me for the fun match because I wastn just relying on hardcore tunneling someone out. However I played into my perks and game sense and still won but they also enjoyed the match. So your logic only works if the only way to win equals cheesing but that is not true at all. You can defenitely win based on being good without any cheese needed. So again I think you understood it wrong.

[@Dragonhypbrid]

I'm more surprised he hasn't mentioned the fact Chuckys Iri Add-on that insta breaks pallets has absolutely no slow down on him after scampering, or delay after swinging, it's literally just a free hit at any pallet and just removes the pallet instantly too. Unlike Characters like Wesker, Who's iri add-on makes them wait a few seconds after breaking the pallet, Chucky just can instantly swing right as he comes out with no delay or reduced movement speed.

When you're in a "whataboutism" contest and your opponent is the comment section

[@atrozzorta9602]

Using Huntress is a bad example. Pyramid Head or Nemesis are way better comparisons because how quickly they ready up their M2 compared to Huntress and because how little ground they lose compare to Huntress in doing so. Pyramid Head is one of my least favorite killers to play against because he has guaranteed hits at windows and pallets. If PH has his sword in the ground you can't throw a pallet or vault a window because you are locked in an animation and get hit, if you don't vault/throw then you are more than likely going to get M1'd. The most you can do is fake it and REALLY REALLY bad players will attack instead of just waiting for you to be in animation, or fake then try to circle back to the pallet or window and use them. But again that only works against really bad players because they will just body block and then M1. Huntress is the pinnacle of balanced ranged killers because the time it takes her to wind up and wind down and because of her slower movement speed. She feels balanced around windows and pallets because there is some counter to it. To counter another point since I said all this, I played ~60/40 Survivor/Killer so the argument of "people making this argument don't play survivor" doesn't really work here. PH and Nemmy have a guaranteed hit at pallets just like Chucky. So I agree with the comments on your last video about "why are some guaranteed hits okay and others aren't?"

Message unclear: Scott just challenged the entire internet to a 1v1 cowshed

[@VitunVatiVille]

I think the killer should suffer from slowdown after scampering for certain amount of time so that way they are either forced to chase down the survivor through normal means(Having the movement speed reduced to that of a survivor perhaps at 100 percent?) or use the ability to catchup either way they still cant chase effectively for guaranteed hit. What do you think Scott?

[@themr_wilson]

1:00 that's why I don't call the mindgames a 50/50, they're more Rock-Paper-Scissors

[@dodang_9147]

@larsliamvilhelm that is not true. there are different type of 50/50's.

[@dodang_9147]

@larsliamvilhelm depending how short the pallet is will decide the skewed the odds are. I would argue that completely unsafe pallet are 0-100 for killer. the mild unsafe pallet are 50/50's until killer gets bloodlust 2 or bloodlust 3 then they become 0-100's. The loops that bloodlust 3 infinities have no mindgames. I think mindgames are strange because their success rate relies on what other person believes is correct play. For survivor, the correct play 90% of the time on first vault is to just vault but because killer know that this is 90% of the time the correct play, the first instinct of a killer is to double-back. As a result, the mindgames tend to begin on 2nd vault because of this pre-determined belief. That is why when you start not vaulting pallets as killer, a lot of killer panic and just start breaking pallets because they don't realize that counter-play to not vaulting is just running forward but then you vault so killer thinks that loop is reset so mindgame is gone but the mindgame is still there. you just need to go around the loop to get to same spot in which you could mindgame again.

@@Reinami66 Removing survivor agency is not the goal. Working around their decisions and anticipating their decisions to kill them is the goal.

[@Reinami66]

@@BecketTheHymnist What does putting a survivor on the hook do? What does slugging a survivor do? What does killing a survivor do?

That is removing agency from the survivor.

[@BecketTheHymnist]

@@Reinami66 Yes being on the hook means your team has to come get you. Yes being slugged limits what you can do. There's a reason this is seen as pretty toxic. Yes REMOVIING SOMEONE FROM THE GAME MEANS THEY CAN'T MAKE A DECISION IN THE GAME ANYMORE. You are being intentionally obtuse though. Obviously things like this can make the game unfun and can be unhealthy for it, but it's understandable why these mechanics exist. You want LESS of this in the game though not more.

Wouldn’t a good solution be that chucky can’t scamper or slice and dice until like a second after activating Hidey-Ho? It would make your scamper have to be premeditated and if you wanted to counter a pallet throw you’d have to do the same dance as Huntress.

If you want them to drop on next loop, lunging JUST SHORT of getting into stun range will do that in 95% of cases. There are so many nuances to the pallet mindgame with her it might as well be its own game.

[@ShuffleboardJerk]

Ok so it is a guaranteed hit if chucky has enduring, the survivor have no chase perks, chucky commits to a 20+ second chase, chucky makes no chasing mistakes, and chucky hits them in the small hit window once they reach the pallet again. So that is 5 ifs. How the hell is that guaranteed, my guy?? I think it is perfectly acceptable for every killer to have guaranteed hits if they are using a specific perk, if they chase perfectly, if they commit to chase for long enough, if they use their power, if they hit in small hit windows, and the survivor has no chase perks. How many of these guaranteed hits can chucky even get before all 5 gens are completed because he is running around these pallets for 20+ seconds each?

[@ajtp1349]

Ok what if your power goes on cooldown for X seconds if you’re stunned to make pallet stuns more valuable while making scamper still very strong if the killer doesn’t get stunned

[@203lue9]

Yah keep saying this as if it’s a good solution, yah realize A LOT OF KILLERS HAVE COOLDOWN ABILITIES RIGHT? The chucky trick is to let them drop the pallet or stun you and then AFTER use your power but if your saying restart your power even if you didn’t activate it that changes things Drastically because at that rate your saying punish a killer player for not even using his abilities, imagine legion not in frenzy but having his power on cool down bc he got stunned or blight or pinhead or nurse etc etc that idea doesn’t make sense

[@donglybits5501]

Had a thought where scamper speeds should be slower than normal when not dashing into the vault area, but faster when you do. That way when a survivor is forced to drop a pallet, Chucky would then be forced to Slice and Dice into the pallet/window to scamper and earn the hit in that way, rather than scamper then m1 or slice and dice. I'd like for scamper to be completely silent, but slower when not dashing into a pallet or window. But if you do dash into the vault area, it would be faster, you'd have the ability to earn a hit, but it would be harder since it's still a Slice and Dice.

[@cruiseelroy1679]

Wouldn't the counterplay be whether or not the survivor drops the pallet at all or keeps running? Or the survivor can try and bait chucky into swinging by camping the pallet to try and land the stun?

[@ZWallAbuser]

thank you for being the brain of the community scott

[@cornpopwasabaddude6270]

The only counter seems to be using any means on the pallet preventing Chucky from vaulting it, but I think that is a bug

[@JBartN]

It would make sense to slow down his regular scamper and keep his slice and dice scamper the same

[@dawsonleding7051]

100% agree. Been playing with a buddy who is new. Alot of Knights who have no skill just spam npcs on the new guys that don't know you can litterally just W key away.

Survivors should be able to vault back over the top of pallets when he slides and dices

[@MattyHwang]

The way my business major mind freaked out when Scott said opportunity cost

[@deadhelix]

I saw a suggestion someone made where they slow down the scamper on a “neutral” scamper but keep it the same speed when you slice and dice into a pallet so you can do cool chains between dashing and vaulting while the braindead just wait for pallet. Also Ik there will always be the survivor players who hate all killers (me im a certified wesker hater lol but only cause his hinder and all the campy weskers during the anniversary I actually know he his well designed) but for killer players to think that the killer should keep something unfun that will make people complain until the devs just go “ok well rework time” isn’t any better. Killers can be fun and strong, wesker has a fun component to his dash that is also fun to avoid as survivor. He also has an unfun mechanic (to me personally I hate all move speed changes) where you get hindered for being infected making it easier for him to catch you if a chase it taking long or tunneling you before you get a spray off hook. We can take the unfun thing away and if it hurts them too much tune up the fun thing a bit and boom.

[@itsrickeh280]

I think the perfect nerf for Chucky is just to make it when he’s stunned by a pallet to remove a portion of his power bar(3-4 seconds worth). Give survivor time to decide where they want to run and forces chucky to make a choice between breaking the pallet or waiting for his power to come back and play the pallet

[@jnever9768]

why do you survivor mains keep coming up with this same inane idea?

[@kojinooni]

PTB means they will change things. Since chucky plays like legion and ghost-face. They will most likely change pallet slams to remove active power and make the rush attack will be special attack. Perks are extremely unbalanced and most of them are not even used. Each perks balances out another perk, but they should've made it so the perk balances itself. EX. You run faster, but walk slower or your flashlight charges while repairing but gens speed decreased. As a killer only player I see the balance issue without playing survivor. Killer thrives when just one survivor dies so camp and tunnel is extremely effective, but on the flip survivors have no reason to fear killer as they have more then enough resources to stall for 3 mins until the 5 gens are complete. Thus this type of skill balance leaves the killer looking for the weaker survivor and removing them from the game then going for the others or chasing the stronger of them just to feel bullied until either the gens are done or they mess up. This skill divide doesn't feel like a skill base system just mundane tasks that need to be done like doing a job every game. But what do I know!?

[@DerekRuggia]

eh, saving power for scamper wastes way too much time when Chucky's only 110. especially if the survivors know thats what you're trying to do and greed pallets. on most loops, survivors can make it around to the pallet again if they react quickly. if you dont use your slice and dice to catch up to the survivor, your chases are gonna last forever, even if you eventually get that guaranteed hit. i think a stealth/scamper focused build is valid, and also not the strongest way to play him.

[@emirinobambino]

Guaranteed hits SHOULD exist because DBD is a game based on time. Guaranteed hits become problematic IF those guaranteed hits consistently win matches when employed extensively.

[@r.k845]

No they shouldn’t. Killers get hits based on whether they outplayed the survivor. Not because the survivor had no way of countering a killer.

[@canispredatoria8592]

A way to change that is to remove the attack after you slide under a pallet for 0.5 sec so the survivor have a reaction time. If 0.5 sec is too much just low the number.

[@drunkengibberish1143]

The main issue isn’t instantly being able to hit after the pallet, it’s the fact you cannot make any distance even if you predict it and start running. There isn’t any counter play besides get a stun, unless the pallet is already dropped in which case you have nothing

[@zmanrockz6358]

There’s such a huge difference between “there’s nothing I can do to avoid the hit because my teammates are new and dropped all the pallets instantly and the killer was smart enough to get rid of them all” and “there’s nothing I can do to avoid getting hit because the killer is Chucky.”

[@SpookySkeletonGang]

Yeah I feel a lot of people are confusing very easy hits with guaranteed hits. Like you mention, huntress can have very easy hits at a pallets, but they're not guaranteed. Same with pyramid head, someone I play a lot. With chucky, if you scamper under certain pallets it does not matter what action the survivor takes, they'll get hit. That guaranteed hit is what feels so bad. Other killers have things like that too.

[@atrozzorta9602]

You say you play PH a lot but he is guaranteed hits as well. Scott using Huntress as an example was shit because she doesn't have guaranteed hits. Killers like Alien PH and Nemmy do though, especially PH.

[@SpookySkeletonGang]

@@atrozzorta9602 Again, you're confusing easy hits with guaranteed hits. Those killers you mentioned don't have guaranteed hits in the same way that chucky does. Yes pyramid head can get very easy hits at vaults and pallets but they're not guaranteed.

[@SoulReaperBan]

⁠@@atrozzorta9602pyramid head only guarantees hits at windows and his power otherwise is just being able to tunnel but you don’t really want to cage people it’s basically giving an unhook away for free but most maps have more tiles than just T/L walls which you’re guaranteed to be hit at anyways unless you play them perfectly which isn’t easy but at pallets it’s not guaranteed and also slows him down while he’s holding it so there’s still counterplay and a mindgame and nemesis has a very clear audio q when he’s pulling up his whip for you to prepare to dodge or even just greeding a pallet alien however is guaranteed a hit in all scenarios cause you can just react to whatever the survivor does your tail is faster than a vault even when you hit it after they’ve started a vault and if they choose not to you just get an m1

[@D3th10rd]

One thing I have to ask is whether a survivor can vault over a pallet while Chucky is scampering underneath. If yes, then why isnt that the play to make? Chucky cant just 180 to my knowledge, and by the time they got out of the dash to turn and try to grab the survivor, theyd just smack the pallet. This could then create a mind game opportunity where if survivors keep doing this enough, Chucky will rush at the pallet, cancel dash, and the survivor will vault back over into his arms, or just keep running and now youve got a lot of distance as survivor. Hell could even have it where if Chucky is scampering under and a survivor vaults over at the same time, Chucky gets spit out onto the other side stunned like the pallet was dropped on them. Even with Enduring, Chucky is still on the other side of the pallet and has to turn around and chase you again. If you cant vault over a pallet while Chucky is going under, then whats the fucking point of animating Chucky going under the pallet to begin with?

[@OHITZJOE]

Guaranteed hits meaning no matter what you do you’re gonna get hit. like no matter what outplay you do, the hit is guaranteed because the killer is so brain rotted that there is no skill expression

[@paulanthony5801]

I think a basic solve is to make him 1st person view when in power. He’s a really fun killer to play as and against. Though I think it is being overlooked how much you can see verse what the survivor sees. Or maybe when he pallet slides, he goes into 1st person for 10 seconds. Even when he vaults, unlike every other killer in the game, he sees everything. Even legion in power looks down when vaulting. That choice of camera angle was there for a reason.

[@Daddix0]

@@jakedickson2311 I’m aware. My comment was stating that rather than slow him down and nerf him that way, just make him 1st person whilst doing it. It wouldn’t add too much of a nerf to his actual ability but limit him slightly and add more skill ceiling to use it. I mentioned his current camera angle as a way to justify why this would be ok because it’s already currently a buff compared to every other killer who has to use FOV perks just to get a few degrees. So why not, when in power or just when pallet sliding, put him in 1st. My apologies for not explaining properly.

Yeah being forced into no win situations with killers like artist, knight and now chucky is pretty miserable to play against. Obvs chucky is more egregious than the other two due to very very small windows of counterplay but the direction since artist (excluding wesker and maybe dredge) is mildly concerning. Its just not fun to play against, theres no skill expression, I just hope theres a pallet or hope they make a mistake rather than relying on my own ability.

[@mckookie2967]

I feel like Xeno's no warning tail is in the same boat, feels like launch pyramid head

[@MythicTF2]

I mean, SM & Knight, you're supposed to leave the loop against their powers and go to another one close by. With Chucky, if you don't drop the pallet he hits you. If you do drop the pallet, he can pop his power and go through it and hit you soon after. If you drop the pallet & leave the loop he can pop his power then slice & dice and potentially hit you, which just intuitively feels wrong but is probably the correct play as his power stands right now. Scott's problem is Enduring nullifies the counter-play (going for a stun) of his power since he can use that perk better than anyone to get guaranteed hits since his power has no starting lag.

Similarly, you get someone who is extremely wholesome, is always grateful to their audience, constantly thanking them for the good they do, mentioning that they trust them to be nice, all that jazz. Then again, the audience will almost invariably do their best to live up to it.

[@Kizen.]

Honestly I feel like scamper should give a big slowdown to chucky after. Wesker's super fast pallet vault is followed by a strong self slow as he puts his power away. Chucky should have that too. That way he doesn't guarantee a hit, and makes it so scamper is not always the best option, it just remains as AN OPTION

[@MrJP6389]

Have you seen any Wesker get anything for vaulting a pallet? I never seen a situation as Wesker where the best opinion is to vault a pallet with his power. Maybe at God pallets but honestly I personally rather break a god pallet that way it's gone forever. For this reason I never vault as Wesker and honest I wish they completely remove the ability because it is a useless part of his kit. I feel the same way about Chucky of scamper is that problematic then just remove it since I rather have that then a nerf that makes it completely useless at most pallets other than God ones. Just my opinion tho.

[@Kizen.]

@MrJP6389 Nah, there are absolutely times it is useful. specifically in Haddonfield, and on certain loops, or god pallets on The Game. Yes, you eant to break it. But there are god pallets that can completely give you a free hit if you can get the vault. Sometimes it IS a good option regardless of how you feel about it.

[@MrJP6389]

@@Kizen. Personally, I guess dont know how or what pallets you talking about. I be honest I just rather break them bc it's the easiest thing to do. Like I really dont have the memory to remember "Ok I can vault this pallet and get a hit" for every single map in this game. Plus I need to see examples and I have never seen anyone do the things you said. Most are like me, "Break god pallet and catch up" If you have some examples in video I love to see it but till actually see ppl get the value I will continue to think its a useless option.
