Physics Engine Explained

Inertia & Friction: Movement has low friction (Ice Physics). You cannot stop instantly. Counter-strafe (press opposite key) to brake.
Impulse System: Attacks apply an Instantaneous Impulse vector. Where you look is where you push.
Charge Mechanic:
- Tapping E = Weak poke (Low knockback)
- Holding E (1.5s) = Max Power (High knockback + Recoil)
Recoil: Newton's 3rd Law applies! Hitting someone with max power pushes YOU back too. Don't stand on the edge while attacking!
