  1. If you haven’t learned all that Dracula has to offer by now then you must not be playing him very often or your brain just isn’t functioning.

    This is not a blight, billy or nurse where you need to have perfect blinks and master curves and it’s definitely not something you need high skill to play. Gameplay knowledge is a must though.

    Overall it’s a hard choice to say whose better because of spirits slight mind games with passive phasing and even the sound from her phasing can be hard to pin point in some places

  2. I don't understand the disagreement either. I main Drac and he's an absolute monster. Bat was, is, and will probably always be his best form. Even without the broken addons you can use range/speed addons with Bat to be on top of someone from across the map within 7 seconds of the game starting thanks to Lethal Pursuer. And for general chase Bat is still amazing too.

  3. It just makes sense, bat form is in the ballpark of spirits power, and he has a whole extra set of kit and traversal options on top of it. Ok bat form is significantly worse, but everything else is stuff spirit simply can't do. Hes much more versatile at a low cost.

  4. nah but see, when I was new to the game I felt powerless against launch Spirit and I've never gotten over that period of playing the game so Spirit is clearly stronger. I am playing against Dracula as an experienced player and thus don't struggle the same way I did against Spirit 6 years ago. These are objective metrics. Your test has human error because I would have definitely done better than these pro players with an order of magnitude more experienced in this game than me. You're simply giving us biased data because I wasn't involved in providing it with my perfect, omniscient perspective on how it feels for me to play the game.
    Nice try, Scott.

  5. I disagree with the point around 1:30 It's not like Dracula has some radically new playstyle that people never played before in this game unlike say the singularity. It won't take that long for an experienced player to get very good with him. It's just a readjustment to how some existing tools behave and then learning to use them together efficiently.

  6. You can't change a simp's mind Scott, it's just not worth the effort.
    It most likely just comes down to The Sprit being a cute Japanese girl and The Dark Lord being a good looking Central European* dude. Most simps are going to go with the cute girl.

    *(I'm finding conflicting information on if the Castlevania Dracula is Romanian or Hungarian so "Central European" it is!)

  7. I’ll always say this: Most people that are bad at killer play spirit. Bad killers mainly play spirit because she’s strong and easy to use. She goes invisible, has speed over survivors, etc

  8. Honestly i know im a person who believes arguably spirit is better but i also know that dracula is basically right on her level and can even go above her. I know a lot of peoples takes of her being better is because its solo queue with bad survivors where a lot of the times if you encounter a dracula, they are probably still learning, but overall with the millions of nerfs spirit got, she is essentially a husk (no pun intended) of what she was.

  9. The fact that nobody runs iron will anymore implies spirit is nowhere near as scary as her peak where at least half the lobby had iron will, they just have negative nostalgia

  10. I’m a Spirit main, absolutely love the killer and I would also absolutely agree that Dracula is stronger than her, and like Scott said it’s only by a placement like their both top 5-8 killers in the game, and as well I’m glad he’s stronger cuz Spirit has gotten nerfed a lot as well as constantly dealing with patches just ruining her audio and making her unplayable she had her best add ons gutted she had all of her good green add ons but 1 changed completely and are now basically useless like she’s a killer that has gotten the shortest end of the stick imaginable. I just kinda hope this will someday end up with a Spirit buff not cuz she needs it cuz she certainly doesn’t I just am greedy lol

  11. Not a discussion on the overall point:
    But the "As he's played more, people improve at him and people get better against him, these should cancel out." That's an opinion I'm pretty sure (citations needed) you have referred to on multiple occasions. But I don't think this is even reliable enough to even mention.
    Largely basing this off of win rate discussions from MOBA characters but I think in general it applies to any occasion of a newly released character and it's overall win rate with time
    I'd not be surprised if there are stats that prove me wrong but I believe I have seen stats supporting this previously.
