It is ability 7. I think
superflip96
Now loaded with Calcium!
It used to be usable by all Speed Thok characters using the Console Command "homing"
But now it is only an ability for Character WADS.

Also, was waterwalking removed? either I fail at SRB2, or they removed the ability to run on water.

I was just playing as Tails and no, they did not remove that ability. I ran on water perfectly except for when I ran right into a wall.
Erm, were you playing 2.0.4? I think water-running is only possible with super characters.
I was just playing as Tails and fell directly into the water.

Lame. Period. Water running is fun D= AND NOT OVERPOWERED DAMNIT.
I fail to see how water skipping requires more skill, seeing as you can't do a thing (other than strafe very slowly :<) after you start bouncing.

ALAM STOP BREAKING THE S
Hence why it takes more skill.
Water running was just Jesus code that I'm glad to see removed. A prime example of how overpowered it is can be seen watching a video with SMS on an ice level (MR's?) skipping over all the ice water threats, making the level ridiculously easy.

Level design fail, I say.
Water running can make interesting obstacle courses...
K, let's make that better.
In SMW, the cape feather is overpowered. To fix that, the hacker just add a ceiling made with invisible cement blocks. There, not overpowered anymore.
Mystic could put a whole lot of turrets/jettysins to make waterrunning through the obstacles challenging.
Of course, there could be a better fix but oh well.

Not level design fail. Ability fail.
Water running allows for many things to be cheaply skipped over. It's ridiculous to claim that it's a level designer's fault when the ability is broken. Now, that's not to say I don't think RUNONWATER doesn't have a place (Indeed, I've made a few character ability proposals that would include it in a more ideal fashion), but having it available for every character is a terrible idea at best.

EXACTLY. You need to calculate your angle previously to stepping foot in the water, because once you get going there's not a lot of maneuvering you can do. With running on water, though, you can just go in circles for as long as you like with no repercussion.

Spin Fly HAS to stay in order to keep the characters balanced in MP (except Race, but let's not get into that...). If Spin Fly goes, Tails loses one of his main unique abilities that makes him useful in CTF, Match, and Tag.

I think it'd still be awesome to be able to run on water with speed shoes.
