Force/High Jump mechanics
So... Since lightsaber combat might be slightly reworked in the future, I was also thinking about the feel of Force Jumps. My main problem is that it's not at all acrobatic, it feels more like hover...
The whole hanging in the air would be better (for force users) if you could still block, deflecting blaster fire. Force users need to control their decent to an extent otherwise I would have thought you'd have to have them suffer fall damage if they're just going to drop normally.
Grievous imo has a very strange jump and I thought so from day one. He's a big heavy lump I never understood why he floats down so slowly, I could understand he has a powerful leap but when he jumps so vertically he ought to lose momentum at the top of his trajectory and pick up speed coming down as it can't be said he uses the force to control his decent. I don't mind Bossks jump, it's similar to swbf1, I guess that's just the way Trandoshians jump.
If they do rework it to include powerful kick offs and flips, I for one would very much welcome it.
Oh yeah and make Yodas jump just a little bit higher.
Thanks for bringing this up @felker_s 👍
