Misc Odd Slope Collision/Behaviour

[ChaosController]

The slopes in the game have a few odd quirks. I'll be using Loop Piece 4 from the Temple theme as an example, but all the other Loop Pieces and even the Small Ramp tiles have very similar behaviour.

Both in the original game and SMA, Dragon Boosting off an upwards facing ramp usually disables your aerial actions such as the Dragon Cyclone. However, if you cancel a Dragon Boost before being launched upwards, the game will still block your aerial actions unless you use an attack to refresh Lilac's state.

Slopes also mess with Lilac's animations when you cancel a Dragon Boost before or after running on it.

Loop Piece tiles have odd collision issues in certain parts, making them very easy to clip through both intentionally and unintentionally.

And jumping under certain spots of these tiles will teleport you.

Lastly, when you walk off a ledge with a Ramp or Loop tile below, you'll walk down the tile rather than just falling off. It might have to do with the collision issues mentioned above, or be an entirely separate matter.

This is what walking off a ledge looks like in the original game for comparison.
