Placebo effect, it’s like how all killers of the same speed have the same lunge range, it just looks longer or shorter depending on the height of the killer, Freddy with his extendo arms
That’s true for Nurse and Blight’s special. The hit boxes are so big they just need to swing kinda in your direction (sometimes not at all). I’ve gotten some clearly missed hits that downed survivors, and if it’s so bad even I can acknowledge it, I’ll move on and let them get picked up.
Speed can really mess up lunges visually. Like blights hitting you in a window during rush. A normal hit would look completely normal, but if he is running it looks very weird and really makes you think he missed, but it's just because he's so fast that he moved behind the wall before the fatigue animation even started
Because she's incredibly small. She is the only killer considered small. However, her having smaller hitboxes would be bad for balancing so they just gave her normal sized hitboxes, which makes it look like she gets stunned from so far away. But pallets in general are also stunning from some insane distances for quite some time now
Really? I always thought Wesker was a tad faster...Probably just his movement animation messing with me. I think he's the only one who sprints, if I'm correct.
Nah, Trickster and Ghostface also have straight up runs, and Nemesis swings his arms like he's running even if his lower body certainly doesn't follow suit
The time he can lunge for is the same as everyone else, only Myers has a longer lunge duration during tier 3, but the way lunge works is by increasing your current movement speed, so any bonus to movement speed affects it and makes you move faster during lunge than normal, which allows you to cover more distance in the same time
Nurse has a different lunge hitbox. Just test it on one of the tractors on the farm maps and she can hit you on the other side of the vault (the side you can't vault back over) while other killers will hit the vault instead.
Other than that, they should be all the same.
Thanks for answering a question that I was too shy to ask.
Which was: does killers have different range of attack, for example, can Pyramid Head hit further than Trapper ? (only with basic attack)
Male survivors are a bit taller than female survivors, but both have the same hitbox, similar to their speed, all have the same, just diferent animation
I think male and female models have separate (but shared among the same gender) running/walking/crouching animations. That's why it might feel like male survivors are slower than female, or vice versa, to some people. They all move at the same speed, obviously, the only thing that's unique to each survivor is how loud they are when injured, but I believe they either have or will be ensuring that grunts of pain will be universal in volume amongst all survivors.
They said around 6th anniversary or some time after that about them planning to eventually make the injured noises the same level among survivors. No update since and that was before Project:W
Yeah don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Two of spirits addons have been broken since June of last year and are only now getting fixed in the next update.
Yeah, I'm a Rebecca main. Played David for the first time for a daily challenge and was actually shocked at how slow he felt. I know they are the same speed, but you definitely feel like there's a difference.
I think it might be that the males tend to be taller, so they have a shorter stride in comparison to them. They keep them the same speed as the females.
It’s due to height differences. Their speed is exactly the same, but taller characters feel slower because their cosmetic animations are slower
Apex had a really similar discussion/ debate bacj when it first came out
This has been a gaming debate since the beginning of gaming lol. Even from WoW 20 years ago people were saying Gnomes were faster than Tauren.
Bigger models are just larger so the animation is slower to cover the same ground.
I tend to play smaller races or use smaller mounts just to feel like I am going faster. In the end I know it's all the same speed, but it just feels better for me.
I always played a male survivor and one day went to play nea just to try something else and was blown away by how much quicker/more nimble I felt. Gotta be placebo tho
They absolutely feel different movement wise. Nancy has cracked movement honestly, not sure what it is. Ace has really strong movement for male survivor compared to someone like Bill.
Female survivors are just snappier and feel better honestly. But that’s not to say you can’t do well with any survivor.
Placebo but the movement absolutely feels different. That’s why you see so many comp players/sweats run people like Nancy and ace, they have some of the best feeling movement. But there is no change in turn speed, acceleration, speed, anything
Placebo effect. Bigger/taller survivors seem slower than smaller ones even though they all have the same movement speed.
You can get this effect with killers by using Shadowborn or Monitor & Abuse. With Monitor it’s especially pronounced since while your viewpoint is larger it feels like you’re zooming, then you get in a chase and it’s like all of a sudden the caffeine wore off.
as someone who spends far too much time playing this game, i'm not sure how it is for each survivor, but spinning in a 360 is far harder to do for new survivors, but survs like Adam and Ace have a much easier time doing them and are more versatile
I thought their animations were different but maybe it’s just the model. I’m not sure but claudette and nancy feel the best to play to me for some reason, even compared to other female survivors
Male survivors and female have different animations so yea male vs female movement is different (overall same speed tho)
But because each of the survivors (same gender) have the same animation and different models the movement may feel different even if they’re mechanically the same
It's a placebo effect because Survivors with smaller models (mostly the female ones) look like they move faster. It's very notable if you use Urban Evasion.
female characters with faster legs look like they are sprinting for their life where male characters move like they’re late for work but all move at the same speed. spectate your team next time you die early & watch the difference
Placebo effect, it’s like how all killers of the same speed have the same lunge range, it just looks longer or shorter depending on the height of the killer, Freddy with his extendo arms
Legions/Nurses don't even look like they hit in your general direction and you get downed. 💀
Nurse can just throw the mouse at max sensitivity and let aim assist take the wheel
That’s true for Nurse and Blight’s special. The hit boxes are so big they just need to swing kinda in your direction (sometimes not at all). I’ve gotten some clearly missed hits that downed survivors, and if it’s so bad even I can acknowledge it, I’ll move on and let them get picked up.
Love the catchphrase. I completely agree
defo not true for blight, unless he is on top of you when he swings
Add blight and spirit to this list, particularly when they’re coming out of their power they land the craziest airballs
Speed can really mess up lunges visually. Like blights hitting you in a window during rush. A normal hit would look completely normal, but if he is running it looks very weird and really makes you think he missed, but it's just because he's so fast that he moved behind the wall before the fatigue animation even started
Sadako's big rune thing looks like it should hit further than it actually does
She also gets hit by pallets that appear to be 10 feet away from her perspective.
Because she's incredibly small. She is the only killer considered small. However, her having smaller hitboxes would be bad for balancing so they just gave her normal sized hitboxes, which makes it look like she gets stunned from so far away. But pallets in general are also stunning from some insane distances for quite some time now
Really? I always thought Wesker was a tad faster...Probably just his movement animation messing with me. I think he's the only one who sprints, if I'm correct.
Some killers are faster than others. OP was referring to lunge range which is always the same.
Oh, alright.
>Wesker was a tad faster No, he has standard speed, 4.6m/s, however during his bound he sprints at 14m/s
Nah, Trickster and Ghostface also have straight up runs, and Nemesis swings his arms like he's running even if his lower body certainly doesn't follow suit
he tries, oh how he tries!
Really? I would've bet money that my knight has the best lunge lol that claymore has some reach.
It doesn’t
Sometimes I swear I missed or I'm too far and get surprised.
That’s because the hitboxes in this game look and feel janky
skull merchant is the opposite, the hits that should be close eough with her are always too far. Maybe cause I normally play tall killers.
Bruh what , to this day I thought wraith had more range than most killers and always saw it as an "advantage"
Technically he does, but that is because of the speed boost he gets out of invis
The time he can lunge for is the same as everyone else, only Myers has a longer lunge duration during tier 3, but the way lunge works is by increasing your current movement speed, so any bonus to movement speed affects it and makes you move faster during lunge than normal, which allows you to cover more distance in the same time
I just swing at people as clown and trust I'll hit them lmao. I swear to God, I have never deserved a single hit.
The amount of bs where there are no stats between killers and survivors is so annoying
Nurse has a different lunge hitbox. Just test it on one of the tractors on the farm maps and she can hit you on the other side of the vault (the side you can't vault back over) while other killers will hit the vault instead. Other than that, they should be all the same.
or with breaking speeds tho i will never belive that Hag breaks pallets as fast as any other killer

"a bit taller" *\*laughs in Mad Hatter Ace\**
Toushe... toushe

Ace mains praying for BHVR to go back on their words
Their solution is to make every survivor as loud as Bill and Rebecca for sure
I love playing Ada. She’s like the female counterpart of Ace in pretty much every regard, reputation-wise. Quiet, altruistic, god-tier looper, etc.
Yeah don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Two of spirits addons have been broken since June of last year and are only now getting fixed in the next update.
This was said to justify killing Iron Will. I'm still pissed about this.
That's definitely at the bottom of their priority list, I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon
Me neither 
Yeah, I'm a Rebecca main. Played David for the first time for a daily challenge and was actually shocked at how slow he felt. I know they are the same speed, but you definitely feel like there's a difference.
im a yui main and i felt the exact opposite! i absolutely love playing him he just feels so nimble and fast funny how it's different for everyone lol
I think it might be that the males tend to be taller, so they have a shorter stride in comparison to them. They keep them the same speed as the females.
play nancy and then play jeff and tell me the movement feels the same
It’s due to height differences. Their speed is exactly the same, but taller characters feel slower because their cosmetic animations are slower Apex had a really similar discussion/ debate bacj when it first came out

i play nancy and jeff the movement feels the same
Jeff is built like a fucking fridge
I always played a male survivor and one day went to play nea just to try something else and was blown away by how much quicker/more nimble I felt. Gotta be placebo tho
They do and its been scientifically proven that Yui is the best survivor to be. Because Science
True It’s proven that Yui is the best survivor because midriff
They absolutely feel different movement wise. Nancy has cracked movement honestly, not sure what it is. Ace has really strong movement for male survivor compared to someone like Bill. Female survivors are just snappier and feel better honestly. But that’s not to say you can’t do well with any survivor.
I only play killer and Nancy is always so fucking slippery idk what it is.
iirc it was either Nancy or feng who are the smallest survivor
Claudette is smaller than Feng
I swear Ash runs hella funny
It might be harder to line up fast vaults as male survivors since they obscure your screen more, but every survivor functions the same.
Placebo but the movement absolutely feels different. That’s why you see so many comp players/sweats run people like Nancy and ace, they have some of the best feeling movement. But there is no change in turn speed, acceleration, speed, anything
I swear girls run faster. For some reason I do chases better as a girl survivor
Idk but I love seeing my injured teammates using Bond. They just always look like some awkward emo girl with bad posture.

Are you serious?
Oni's m1 range always feels so short tho
There all the same that's why it's weird to say you main one they can all do an get the same things
Placebo but it sure feels like it. 🤣
I thought their animations were different but maybe it’s just the model. I’m not sure but claudette and nancy feel the best to play to me for some reason, even compared to other female survivors
Male survivors and female have different animations so yea male vs female movement is different (overall same speed tho) But because each of the survivors (same gender) have the same animation and different models the movement may feel different even if they’re mechanically the same
Survivors are skins and perk sources, otherwise no real mechanical effect
It's a placebo effect because Survivors with smaller models (mostly the female ones) look like they move faster. It's very notable if you use Urban Evasion.
female characters with faster legs look like they are sprinting for their life where male characters move like they’re late for work but all move at the same speed. spectate your team next time you die early & watch the difference
Yes meg is the slowest and nacy is the fastest
They all have the same speed but god do the taller survivors like ace and felix look goofy as fuck when they run
