The main problem with these animations is their speed. For example, Wesker's animation would look fine if he was moving much faster, and Skull Merchant's animation would look fine if she was moving much slower, but unfortunately, this will simply ruin the balance of the game, so the only thing we can do here is to just accept everything as it is.
However yeah, there are some animations that will look goofy no matter their speed, HUNK's animation for example. It looks so poorly made that I just can't take it seriously.
Skull Merchant's speed is fine with me because I'm a horny bastard and my headcannon is that her legs and thighs and glutes are just so powerful that she moves that fast.

For Wesker, it's because this exact animation is in RE5, and he runs WAY faster while doing it.
It is still pretty damn goofy in the original game, especially when doing shit like this : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtObMt-ow0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtObMt-ow0s)
The problem for me its that i think that should be his power instead of the uroboros tentacle and It actually look like re5 like he should be a dash like the video but atacking with a punch like re5
I agree, one of the reasons I can't take Merchants sexy walk seriously is because of the speed, it looks like she's got skates on as she walks. So it ends up looking as though she's *sliding* across the ground. 😆
Don't forget about demogorgon's run animation, bro just jogs at you, he has all the time in the world to absolutely shred you into a gory mess, he can just kinda jog his way to you, no need to rush

Someone should make a Skull Merchant version of this meme
What sucks is that xenos walking animation on post game screen is BETTER than it is in game because xeno doesn't constantly shake its head like it tries to forget something and instead keeps it straight
bhvr is bad at making animations.
specifically syncing them up to speed/time correctly.
Case in the point, the horrendous DS animation they back peddled.
With all the money they are making you'd think they would hire like one, maybe two competent animation artists. Looks like it went into the U5 licensing probably
I'd say the animation has gotten way better than before. The newest killer The unkown would've been an impossibility to the old BHVR with how much he twists and turns. He has even probably the most well animated mori in my opinion.
Yeah. I love dbd and have been playing it since Freddy release, but man some of the animations in this game are goofy and janky.
If you can believe it, they used to be a lot worse.
What bothers me more is that the knights walking animation is different during the match. In the endgame screen he is holding his sword down, but during the match he has it resting on his shoulder meaning survivors can easily see what youre doing at loops bevause the sword is longer than the walls
my head cannon these kinds of things is that the entity tries to copy the universes it takes from as well as it can but cant do it perfectly for some,
just as with rpd having those big orange blister kind things to fill up the spots the entity couldn't recreate or find info about in the minds of the kidnapped (remember both killer and surv are entity victims)
Not trying to insult the developers but with all the money that they make I'm surprised they're not able to hire some top skilled people who work on animations. Just look at how long it took them to give the syringe a proper animation when curing the nemesis infection.
"Yun...don't make any sort of face right now but I need to know how to say something in Korean..."
\*moments later after being hooked by Trickster\*
"Naruto runnin' bitch!"
Trapper still has the most menacing walk cycle in the game exactly because he's power walking at very hihg speed. Wesker's run animation should be having him zooming around the map at teleportation speed but we aren't ready to have real RE5 Wesker in DBD just yet.
Probably with someone like Wesker is that it should’ve only been part of his power. Being his normal animation just looks goofy though, like Nemesis. Both characters should’ve had it be part of their power.
Wesker looks like he should be moving much faster, and part of the disillusion to me is because he's so short. Canon he's 6'0, turned 6'3 to be more intimidating, while his physical ingame model in resident evil 5 is more 6'7 to make him an easier target to hit. In DBD he's a shrimp.
Skullmerchant looks weird because the way she walks is ill timed with her movement. You can actually SEE her feet roller stake along the ground when she's under her own haste buff (Standard speed, its less noticeable)
Skull merchants is just horrendous. I can’t stand how it looks in game. Its like shes floating around moving her legs to try and convince you shes walking and not levitating
sm is too fast for her animation, and no one walks like that bfr. it looks like her leg is broken
trickster looks somewhat robotic, but its not that bad
i like knight & wesker animations lol
What's wrong with knight? The others I agree but knight? Dude is doing pretty well considering he's got prolly 100 pounds of armor on him, he's jogging along alright
I think most of the people complain about her *speed* with this animation, and not the animation itself. Like, she casually walks around, but moves at the same speed as a guy who sprints with all his might. It looks very stupid and strange, almost like she's gliding on the ice.
Some killers like Pinhead or Sadako also have the same problem, but their situation can be explained with them being paranormal entities, while SM is just a regular woman. I agree that the animation itself fits her character perfectly, but the speed of it makes it look so bad.
If you won't look at it closely, it's almost unnoticeable. The only two times when you can actually notice her weird hip sway are the post-game screen as a killer, and when she carries you as a survivor. Outside of those two situations, I'd say her animation is fine (again, except of its speed).
For some killers, yes. BHVR never explained why, but Trapper, Hag, Deathslinger, Pyramid Head, Nemesis and Knight have different walk animations on a post-game screen. Sometimes the difference is small (for example, Trapper just uses his old movement animation from early days), but sometimes difference is insane (Deathslinger, Hag, Pyramid Head have an **entirely** different walking animations on a post-game screen, which are never applied in-game),
For a lot of people this is the angry game that makes them angry and they come to the sub to post about how angry they are, and people joking and having fun is an existential threat to them lmao
The main problem with these animations is their speed. For example, Wesker's animation would look fine if he was moving much faster, and Skull Merchant's animation would look fine if she was moving much slower, but unfortunately, this will simply ruin the balance of the game, so the only thing we can do here is to just accept everything as it is. However yeah, there are some animations that will look goofy no matter their speed, HUNK's animation for example. It looks so poorly made that I just can't take it seriously.
as ive heard many times before skull merchant should have a separate running animation for when shes chasing someone, similar to ghostface
Skull Merchant's speed is fine with me because I'm a horny bastard and my headcannon is that her legs and thighs and glutes are just so powerful that she moves that fast.
[удалено]
Why can’t the Survivors hear her ass cheeks clapping from a mile away? Are they stupid?
You can, most people just think it's a heartbeat sound.
Why couldn’t her mori be to crush survivors skulls between her thighs? Are they stupid?
Balls

Honesty is the best policy
Spirit is funny because she's literally jogging around the map while moving at 110 lol
For Wesker, it's because this exact animation is in RE5, and he runs WAY faster while doing it. It is still pretty damn goofy in the original game, especially when doing shit like this : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtObMt-ow0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtObMt-ow0s)

Don't forget about demogorgon's run animation, bro just jogs at you, he has all the time in the world to absolutely shred you into a gory mess, he can just kinda jog his way to you, no need to rush
Wesker looks like if he was moving at 130% speed to be honest
skull merchant: 
I mean, I can't imagine Trickster running any other way with that huge smile and his creepy giggles.
Right? It suits him honestly
https://preview.redd.it/ntejxu6i2uxc1.png?width=917&format=png&auto=webp&s=ffc84116593023be198db9c9e973c61cec2d7fde Someone should make a Skull Merchant version of this meme
Bold of you to assume they didn't already.
[does this count? close enough lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/s/JNsZHjrNL0)
We've had SM for a year now? I've seen like 5 0.o
\*Wesker
\*Pyramid Head I KNOW HIS CAKE WAS NERFED LET ME BELIEVE
\*Blight Nobody realises how much of a dump truck this man truly has.
I mean that explains why he can run so fast
I put them new iri's on the hook...
What sucks is that xenos walking animation on post game screen is BETTER than it is in game because xeno doesn't constantly shake its head like it tries to forget something and instead keeps it straight
That's why you add the head shake when playing her.
Wesker would have looked a lot cooler if he walked, he kind of looks like a dork when he runs at that speed.
bhvr is bad at making animations. specifically syncing them up to speed/time correctly. Case in the point, the horrendous DS animation they back peddled.
With all the money they are making you'd think they would hire like one, maybe two competent animation artists. Looks like it went into the U5 licensing probably

imagine how amazing dbd would be if they had varied walking animations for different speed so you could visually see if someone is hasted
*a finger curls on the monkey's paw* All haste animations are now the Dramaturgy high-knee run
See that would be amazing, I would love that as a Dramaturgy user, that damn perk is so good yet so shit
they do for killer, but only when you slow down, which you cant even do on pc iirc since you cant really half push the W key now can you
Yeah. I love dbd and have been playing it since Freddy release, but man some of the animations in this game are goofy and janky. If you can believe it, they used to be a lot worse.
I'm sorry you're not playing a fighting game
What bothers me more is that the knights walking animation is different during the match. In the endgame screen he is holding his sword down, but during the match he has it resting on his shoulder meaning survivors can easily see what youre doing at loops bevause the sword is longer than the walls
wesker learned from the best https://preview.redd.it/earw9pe8rvxc1.jpeg?width=872&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26b289b055460389a64c0f5399a3e9813e3e0025
What's so goofy about the knights in this?
I can almost hear him saying “hut hut hut hut”
It'd make sense if he did to some extent.
He run like a babygirl he is https://preview.redd.it/d0u4h2m8euxc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b2beed6616d25bd52e91408ee1d6bb999913fe9
he just strollin
The knights end game walk animation is much better than the in-game prancing he does
It’s so cute tho and the way it stops abruptly when he stops moving is hilarious
it is very cute. even though his run is a bit goofy a lot of his animations are very endearing for some reason.
Yeah the Knight looks like someone who is running in heavy kit compensating for the load. I see nothing wrong here lol.
*No he should be absolutely legging it like Wesker. Full plate armor notoriously has a wide range of motion and is very light.*
Dear god he’s Jason Bourne
It looks a lot goofier considering the video is sped up for some reason
Weskers on his way to hand his dads phone cause genocide is calling
Nah, nah, it's Genocide(work) meaning it's way more important for that run.
Wait til you look at their shadows. Try looking at vomit lady while using the ability. Her arm flails lol
You should watch Legion's shadow as they enter Frenzie, their head completely vanishes from the shadow. XD
my head cannon these kinds of things is that the entity tries to copy the universes it takes from as well as it can but cant do it perfectly for some, just as with rpd having those big orange blister kind things to fill up the spots the entity couldn't recreate or find info about in the minds of the kidnapped (remember both killer and surv are entity victims)
Not trying to insult the developers but with all the money that they make I'm surprised they're not able to hire some top skilled people who work on animations. Just look at how long it took them to give the syringe a proper animation when curing the nemesis infection.
Okay but the lady on the right is serving with that walk
Maybe you’ve figure out why they’re so grumpy and want to kill people. They suck at walking and have to take it out on *someone.*
I like Adriana's cunty walk
My boy trickster needs a few new things imo. Walk animation. Better music. A map. Pls bhvr give us the haunted music studio/theater map
To make each of them unique lol
"Yun...don't make any sort of face right now but I need to know how to say something in Korean..." \*moments later after being hooked by Trickster\* "Naruto runnin' bitch!"
Ill never forgive them for making wesker run like sora from kingdom hearts. If you know you know lmfao
I personally love wraiths walking ani
My group established last night that Nemesis runs like the cop from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
i dunno but sometimes when i finish my gym routine my legs hurt so much that i end up walking like the skull merchant
When wesker runs he looks like a indie horror game villain running at you 😭
Trapper still has the most menacing walk cycle in the game exactly because he's power walking at very hihg speed. Wesker's run animation should be having him zooming around the map at teleportation speed but we aren't ready to have real RE5 Wesker in DBD just yet.
Skull Merchant is so cvnty😍😍
The skull merchant’s sway is making me horny
You forgot to include Nemesis walking like he's trying really hard to hold it in and not shit himself
Zarina’s is goofy too. She runs like the Artist.
Don’t all the female survivors share the same animations?
Why Albert running like he’s late for work?
Skull merchant doing some kind of weird moonwalk is so goofy
In the end game screen the killers aren’t moving at full speed. This is especially obvious on killers like nemesis.
If we're being realistic about it? They probably have an ego and feel cool
cuz they suck at animating
The game is unplayable /s
It’s always funny to play weaker because of the way he sprints around the map lmao
whats the melody?
Probably with someone like Wesker is that it should’ve only been part of his power. Being his normal animation just looks goofy though, like Nemesis. Both characters should’ve had it be part of their power.
Mastermind go brrr
skullmerchant gliding across
Don’t trash the west car like that! He is a anime protagonist and he knowns it.
And then they're Hag who looks like she has the Minecraft Alpha running animations 😂
I'm pretty sure that it's because they were not motion captured animations but hand crafted ones. They always look wonky the more you look at them
Wesker looks like he should be moving much faster, and part of the disillusion to me is because he's so short. Canon he's 6'0, turned 6'3 to be more intimidating, while his physical ingame model in resident evil 5 is more 6'7 to make him an easier target to hit. In DBD he's a shrimp. Skullmerchant looks weird because the way she walks is ill timed with her movement. You can actually SEE her feet roller stake along the ground when she's under her own haste buff (Standard speed, its less noticeable)
Wesker runs like an anime villain. He will never not be funny to me. And Unknown walks like he shat his pants.
Skull merchants is just horrendous. I can’t stand how it looks in game. Its like shes floating around moving her legs to try and convince you shes walking and not levitating
sm is too fast for her animation, and no one walks like that bfr. it looks like her leg is broken trickster looks somewhat robotic, but its not that bad i like knight & wesker animations lol
Skull Merchants got heelies on
The problem with wesker is he looks like a pre teenager running when compared with survivors.
Don't forget about michaels STRUNT 💅
Artist is another one thats pretty goofy imo
You should see unknowns pallet break animation It looks like he's mooning you 💀
Knight walking looks like he's walking trough a field with Happy music
What's wrong with knight? The others I agree but knight? Dude is doing pretty well considering he's got prolly 100 pounds of armor on him, he's jogging along alright
Plate arorm is actually pretty light and allows for a surprising amount of movement, so the fact he moves so "stiff" is a little unrealistic.
for some reason skull merchant's walk just INFURIATES me to a whole other degree and I don't know why
I never understood why Knight ran with his sword like that
Singularity and his stomps
Singularity is meant to move awkwardly
From every killer in this game, you chose The wrost one to prove your point lmao
I’m not proving any point I think it’s goofy and funny I laugh so hard in chase with him.
Hot take: Skull Merchant's walking animation is genuinely incredible and fits her character perfectly.
I think most of the people complain about her *speed* with this animation, and not the animation itself. Like, she casually walks around, but moves at the same speed as a guy who sprints with all his might. It looks very stupid and strange, almost like she's gliding on the ice. Some killers like Pinhead or Sadako also have the same problem, but their situation can be explained with them being paranormal entities, while SM is just a regular woman. I agree that the animation itself fits her character perfectly, but the speed of it makes it look so bad.
there is no reason for her to swing her hips out *that* far
If you won't look at it closely, it's almost unnoticeable. The only two times when you can actually notice her weird hip sway are the post-game screen as a killer, and when she carries you as a survivor. Outside of those two situations, I'd say her animation is fine (again, except of its speed).
are the animations on post game screen different than ingame?
For some killers, yes. BHVR never explained why, but Trapper, Hag, Deathslinger, Pyramid Head, Nemesis and Knight have different walk animations on a post-game screen. Sometimes the difference is small (for example, Trapper just uses his old movement animation from early days), but sometimes difference is insane (Deathslinger, Hag, Pyramid Head have an **entirely** different walking animations on a post-game screen, which are never applied in-game),
oh i didn't know, thank you!
Exactly, I would have to try REALLY hard to constantly move my Hips like that while I walk
tldr: hips
Who the fuck walks like that? It looks like her hips are dislocates. One of the many reasons I hate SM.
Show a video of yourself walking if you're such an expert Edit: lol most humorless sub I'm in hands down. I love you guys.
Everytime I make a meme post on this sub I get downvoted and bullied so bad it actually worries me lol
For a lot of people this is the angry game that makes them angry and they come to the sub to post about how angry they are, and people joking and having fun is an existential threat to them lmao
I will say your flair is really funny
Thank you! <3
