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.

I think supporting TR demo data in general would be cool, not just the "official" shareware demos but also the alpha version demos from 1995. Core Design publicly offer multiple demo versions for download on their website, these demos can be used to quickly and easily test TRX by new players.
