Just for consideration because this one is so fun. We'd talked about it here: https://discord.com/channels/1071085441077481544/1075372522377322516/1230626696949006381

Basically this animation was supposedly found in an old demo level file, and then went unused.

Lahm then made this beautiful test with it: https://youtu.be/W8O6DNNUgII More info: https://discord.com/channels/1071085441077481544/1075372522377322516/1230837407016947782

Other than the cool look, it enables Lara to quickly turn around on the very spot she's standing, hence we called it the "neutral jump twist". "Arabian" is the term most often used for this move in gymnastics.
