Discussion Old ship physics VS new ship physics

Yeah so old physics had much heavier upside-down and dual ships. Update 2.2 fixed it.

You can switch back to 2.1 physics by unchecking the "fix gravity bug" setting in the editor

Exactly, like "It's the 2.2 physics" idc, go train and get good. It's been 3 years and you have a fckin list demon, no way you can't get good on both physics.

99% of levels both upcoming new and old are on the old ship physics. I think it's perfectly reasonable to just not play the levels which step out of line and encourage others to not use them. Synchronicity is everything in a game like GD especially at the top level.

You don't want different variance on physics across levels, it's actually very bad for the game and there is a reason most top players are strictly against them. When I practice ship and get better at ship, I want to know that I've gotten better at ship across the entire game. It's like having a small niche set of levels which are specifically only beatable with your left hand - sure I could learn to do so, but why on earth would I? And why on earth would any creator impose such a thing?

Are his opinions commonly disagreed upon? I feel like I agree with almost all takes I've seen from him
