| Summary | 0008136: Power slide isn't very useful. | ||||
| Description | Right now the only thing it's really for is to let you get through a tight spot on a flat surface.. and those are extremely few and far between. I've only seen these kinds of locations rarely in forests, and even then it's always in an 'optional' little area that you can find some other way to get into anyway. The crouching does slightly reduce your hitbox, but it doesn't really help very much either. I like that powerslide was changed so that it has the advantage of giving 30 mana instead of 20 like most other leg slots, but I don't think it's really enough to make it a useful enhanacement.. I really think it needs some sort of extra functionality. Perhaps it could have some sort of combat use? It could be an offensive type move, that deals damage to enemies you run into, while at the same time making you invincible to melee or taking reduced melee damage. Or it could be more defensively oriented, allowing you to take reduced damage while powersliding. | ||||

IMO, the Powerslide is currently junk. Mostly because you need that running start and you can't really control where you stop. Maybe expand it so that when you hold crouch and hit Jump, you can do a short-distance mini-slide, similar to the sliding in Mega Man and Castlevania. |
|
|
Maybe it could make you invulnerable during the slide. Or let you pass through enemies/obstacles. Or make it knock back enemies. |

I use powerslide simply because the one I have has a nice chunk of damage reduction. The only one with better damage reduction I've found was stone legs. I am unsure if these two have better additional effects than other things they are competing with, so I am unsure if powerslide really needs to be buffed to compete with the others. However, that doesn't mean the actual ability shouldn't be useful. What about intentionally adding small crawlspaces to more maps? There are other ways to get through them, but still. |

When I finally figured out how to use Power Slide, I was really disappointed. I thought it would be something cool like Storm Dash, but it was pretty meaningless. I was sad. |
|
|
Also worth noting is that many 1-tile-high spaces can actually be squeezed through by standing next to them, ducking, and moving, even without Powerslide. I like the idea of either making some hazard that the ability can dodge (something like spikes that hover one square off the ground) or giving the ability some defensive bonus. |

I like the idea of invulnerability in the slide. I also like "slide jumps" though as an alternative, where if you jump during a slide you get more horizontal distance on the jump. |
