Your main critique (the movement) isn't something that's going to change. The game in fact has nearly a 1 to 1 copy of melee's movement, as that's part of the appeal. You feel like you're dropping inputs because there's no buffer: If you want something to happen on frame one after some lag ends, you have to press it on frame one after some lag ends. This is something that raises the skill ceiling significantly, because otherwise there's no need to time anything at all. You have all the tools for movement to be far more fluid than any other game you've ever played, you just need to become good enough to use them.
