Thinking about rules changes for future updates. Here's something I'm thinking about for FIGHT and SPECIAL to make them more distinct and changing the dynamics of how they're used:
Rather than FIGHT actions being more difficult than JUMP attacks (incentivizing JUMP attacks by disincentivizing FIGHT), instead SPECIAL actions cost SPECIAL points which accumulate from JUMP attacks or 1-to-1 conversion of NICE! Points. This still encourages players to use JUMP attacks over FIGHT, without punishing FIGHT-oriented characters. FIGHT is still important and should be valid to build a character around. This also pits FIGHT and SPECIAL against each other, such that most characters will prioritize just one attribute, or JUMP and either FIGHT or SPECIAL, which I think is more appropriate, although a character focusing on both FIGHT and SPECIAL should still be viable even given this change if they're accumulating enough NICE! points.
