If you shrink the player character or have any small humanoids in general, they start to control as if they were walking on ice. I expect them to continue to control as normal regardless of size. The issue happens consistently in all situations as far as I can tell.
I remember this bug started happening after the humanoid physics were tweaked a few months ago. There was a “heads-up” post about it somewhere but I’m unable to find it.

A post similar to this already exists, although it’s not categorized as a bug.
That was my own post. I forgot to make it a bug report until I was reminded of the bug again by playing through my game.
Oh, whoops, my bad.

Small Humanoids (BodyScale 0.5 and lower) have an “ice skating” effect when moving around. It takes a long time for them to accelerate / decelerate. This issue may have regressed if it was previously fixed.
I have created a simple open source repro place here to see the issue clearly. Default humanoid size is set to 0.2.
