If you have played Empulse and the movement felt off, it's because the game has no air strafing

Please overhaul air strafing and B-Hopping.

There is a goldsource movement port for Unreal Engine. I am no game developer, so take this with a grain of salt, but I am huge into movement games, and have played a lot of games and can tell when a game has bad movement or good movement, and this game is one of those games with bad movement. But that can be fixed!

The issue this game has is the air-strafing, the air strafing does NOT feel good. There is not any (at least not any noticable) air acceleration.

like in source engine or quake engine games. I know this movement system draws more from the advanced movement COD games, but the COD engine is an offshoot of the Quake engine just like source! Implementing source engine movement feel would make it a good mix of Infinite Warfare/BO3 movement, and Titanfall movement.

Titanfall also has a system called "Lurch"

Though this would be much harder to implement, Air strafing is the main thing to fix.

I think changing air strafing and B-Hopping would SIGNIFICANTLY improve the feel of the game, and attract a much larger audience. It would make people go "Oh crap, this games movement is cracked" instead of dismissing the game.

If your thought is "But this game is crossplay with console, so we cannot add movement like this" than my only response is... Apex Legends also has source engine movement, and is crossplay. Because Apex is in source. Sure, its not as fast as Titanfall, but it is entirely possible to air strafe on console and on controller. Titanfall is also cross-platform, though not crossplay. The Orange Box also existed.

I can't belive like 20 ponies is orders of magnitude heavier than half an orchards harvest

How does she struggle with freezing a couple of ponies in place as a literal God, but in the literal 4th episode of the show as a unicorn, she effortlessly picks an orchard clean? Are the apples full of Helium? Or are these ponies made of lead?

Hypothetically, would tabletop figures experience the same type of sensation as kids toys when being used for tabletop games?

Diamond Tiara didn't earn scootalos forgiveness yet in S5

Diamond Tiara never apologized for being ablist towards scootalo and giving scootalo severe self image issues for the rest of the show, and just got forgiven despite never even remotely apologizing for that, when it was the worst thing she did.

The show acts like bullying the CMC for not having cutiemarks was ALL she did, and than gives the CMC cutiemarks for making her not prejudiced anymore against blank flanks.

The CMC cutiemarks and Diamond Tiaras "redemption" were so poorly handled. The halfway point of the CMC's character arc was treated as the end, they got cutiemarks for realizing they can't force cutiemarks, so their cutiemarks symbolize nothing and they might as well not have them, and Diamond Tiara gets foregiven for stuff she didn't even apologize for or make up for, and the show doesn't even address.
