Thanks for the help, I've decided to have a very "short" slide that I can't notice is there but ends up looking better than it would without it. Which I find interesting.

I've also changed the movement so that when I'm on the ground I only have one speed, but in the air I have acceleration/vectors when moving left and right.

even got a nice noticeable slide effect when coming from air to the ground, the same effect is made smaller when the character decides to move.
