I'm sorry for this late reply. I've been so busy. I very very much appreciate you taking your time to help me with my questions.

I do kinda get the basics of Character controllers.

Which one do you think is snappier and more responsive?

A physics based character controller, or a kinamatic one?

it's tricky because they both come with tradeoffs 🤔
with a physics based one interaction with physics objects is easier
with a kinematic one you get more freedom but all the physics interactions are hacks

both can be responsive and snappy thought that is only about how input is processed
in that case a very snappy one is easier with kinematic
as with a physics based one the physics take care of deceleration and inertia 🤔
so this may be a strange answer but both is possible and the only difference is which part of the code is hacky and cheats 🤔

Thank you. I think I'll start looking into Kinematic Character coding tutorials first then. I don't care for realism so hacks don't bother me haha.
