Livin the Dream is a moveset mod that tries to be as original as possible. This mod is probably also one of the fastest mods you've ever played, so ig I'll just go through all of the moves.

Sonic is the fastest and most potential having of all the characters, with all of his moves flowing into eachother allowing mad horizontal speed.

His first move is the dropdash, letting him charge up a spindash in air by holding spin. This blasts him off upon hitting the floor and he can stack dropdashes together to get extreme speed.

His second move is a walljump, allowing him to jump off walls while keeping all of his speed. This is done by holding spin and jump in air.
srb23871.gif


His final move is one he can only use while super, letting him blast off into the air at a predetermined path. This can be done by rolling and then pressing back, then holding forward or back to aim up or down. Can be cancelled with spin.

All of these moves combined lets sonic speedrun levels at speeds unimaginable to the other characters. He just requires a lot of practice.

With update 1.3 coming out, Sonic has gotten a new move to help with his lack of verticallity called the backhop!

The backhop is activated by pressing and holding jump after a jump. This redirects all your momentum to behind your camera direction and gives you vertical height. Letting go or holding on for too long ends the move and cancels your extra z momentum. This can't be done more than once in air and can not be recharged.

Tails is the slowest character of the bunch, but his mobility makes up for his lack of speed, letting him get to places much easier than the others.

His first ability is fly, which lets him fly for around 7 seconds. Holding jump or spin makes him rise / fall respectively.
srb23876.gif


His second move is hover, which lets him decrease gravity and stop falling. If you're rising, you'll never lose this state. You can also start a fly from this. Cancellable via C3. This move is spammable in super.
srb23879.gif


Tails' bot also has full compatibility with this mod, with the power to keep up and fly with sonic.
srb23881.gif


All of this lets Tails be a smooth, fun, and easy character in this mod. All while being able to keep up with the others.

Knuckles' first ability is to glide. This acts almost the same to the vanilla's glide, but you don't skid upon landing and you gain speed faster.
srb23884.gif


His second ability is a climb. This lets him scale walls fast while also accelerating up them, all of his speed from a glide transfers into a climb.
srb23885.gif


All of this lets Knuckles' soar through the air nice and quickly without the downsides that'd you'd usually see.
srb23887.gif

From a who to a character, Fang finally gets added to the pack with his own moveset! His speed and verticallity coming in the same move.

His first move is bounce, it's practically identical to the original with 2 differences.
No speed loss
Perfect Momentum Z keeping

srb25289.gif


His second is his pop gun, which remains the exact same as vanilla, so no gif necessary.

His 3rd move is a bomb jump, which explodes him in the direction the camera faces (works in first person too) This allows you to get mad height and speed and can be stacked with bounce.

srb25290.gif


By putting all of these moves together, you can go fast and keep vertical momentum with ease!

Amy is the most balanced character out of everyone, with speed directly tying in with her verticality. For her, speed is everything. This kinda goes with everyone though

Her first move is a skip, which lets her build up speed by holding spin. She will also be off the ground for a second as this is a jump, meaning doing this on slopes should give you a BLJ sort of move.
srb23888.gif


Her second move is a super jump, this lets her have a double jump into the air using the power of her love to sonic or whatever sonic battle says. Activated via spin in air.
srb23890.gif


Her 3rd move is a redirect, which transfers all your speed into your camera's angle by pressing jump during the double jump. Holding jump while super lets you rise forever from the sheer speed your swinging it at.
srb23891.gif


All of her moves lets her be extremely balanced in every regard, making her a good character if you cant decide on what you think you need more of.
srb23892.gif

Amy gained a semi new ability!
To perform it, skip and then press space before landing to hammer jump.
This variant boosts you even higher than if you did the big high jump move
srb24276.gif

Metal Sonic is meant to be the perfect match for Sonic, a carbon copy. His moves show this by having the same restrictions as Sonic while being able to keep up with his pace.

His first move is a boost like move, which lets him slightly hover off the floor if holding jump. If you are above a big drop, you'll be forced to dive after a second.
srb23896.gif


This move loses it's height constraint upon transforming super.
srb23897.gif


Metal also has a passive that makes his dashmode accelerate him faster than other characters.
He also has his original float ability, meaning you dont always have to boost to keep yourself on the higher path.

Shadow is of course, just as fast as sonic. Unfortunately, I ran out of ideas. So he just has a simple boost, this doesn't mean he can't keep up however.
srb23898.gif


He can also boost on GSGrindRails cause cool
srb23899.gif


"this doesn't mean he can't keep up however."
This is my proof
srb23904.gif


Also, because shadow was a little too good, I nerfed him to only have 1 chaos snap instead of 2.

Only added because I was asked to and Team 06, I just buffed him.
srb23905.gif


To be specific
He can hover forever
His boost hover lasts longer
He can throw enemies with less cooldown
He starts the regen of stamina the second he touches ground
He can regen stamina in air

The pink puffball of death obviously comes in here because he's my favorite :)

The only custom move he gains is the spindash, which can be performed by crouching and mashing spin. You can do sort of a spamdash with this move.

srb25294.gif


Obviously however, this isn't the only move he gets in this pack! As he also gets 2 new copy abilities as well!

Instead of Sonic giving Kirby wheel, he now gives Kirby dropdash, which is a toned down version of his spin move. This also allows him to perform in hedgehog like activites like jumping into enemies and bosses.

Tails instead of giving Tornado now gives Kirby Puffin', this move lets Kirby infinitely shoot out stars, and at max charge, send other players into the backrooms.

and everyone else in the SRB2 Community for everything you've done
Yes this list is just a lot of names I found / thought of while typing this
But seriously thanks to the top 4, really helped out in development.
Also, Livin A Nightmare is the old version of Livin the Dream. Which is why Livin the Dream has Re after it, standing for rework.

I really like the mod honestly, while the moves are op they are fun!
Sonic has the standard drop dash, but the walljump can be really intresting at time and help you keep moving.
Tails is kind of weird so i dont really like his movement.
Making knuckles actually good is awesome, but the downside is that the climb is uncontrollable
Amy has insane movement and i do think the super ability is a bit much
Metal Sonic plays differently but still fine
Fang has some nice movement! defintly better than the "who?"
Shadow is awesome as always and the boost is really fun on levels that allow using it!
and uhhh i dont play silver but he's cool

Let's get to the main highlight that for me makes this mod really cool: You did what other Addons rarely do and gave a new and improved moveset to modded characters like Silver and Shadow.
Now, for the criticism: You made all the cast very fun to use, yes, but every one of them got a bit of issues:
Sonic: Wall jump is very spammable, so much that you can regain the state even after the drop dash effect has activated on the ground, and then restart the wall jump like nothing.
Tails: Overpowered, period. You made Tails a king of verticality and ended up turning him into an airplane.
Knuckles: To be honest, the only general nitpicks I got with him is that his glide not having a some sort of delay feels really wrong, and his climb speed can be a bit hard to get used to.
Amy: Similar situation with Tails, Amy got a lot of verticality and makes her really overpowered as a result.
Metal: He's the one I disliked the changes the most, especially for how his moves tends to make sprites disappear and I don't know why.
Regardless of these nitpicks, this mod got quite the potential, and I hope it continues to improve and add more characters down the line.

I can try to fix these issues, I've just never heard anybody else complain about these as problems, so if I ever do, I'll get to work on fixing them!

This mod is one of the best mods I've seen that modifies the vanilla characters, since it adds momentum and moveset to the characters personally my favorite character in this mod is Amy because if you know how to use her you can go at an incredible speed! The other characters are also very cool and are extra additions that enhance the gameplay experience by adding more momentum to the theme, good work kirb.
