Lego Star Wars dubbed 'Lego May Cry' as players continue to discover brutal new combos

pcgamer.com:

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is out now and, videogames being videogames, the first thing folk worked out was that you could take advantage of the fact that Lego kiddies are unkillable. Not that anything ever dies in a Lego game of course, they just dissemble into component bricks, but the fact the kids don't even do this means that players can use air-combos to skip parts of the map(opens in new tab), a technique which has been dubbed «Child Flight.»(opens in new tab)

Lego Star Wars introduces a new combat system to the series that takes more than a few cues from classic action games, and in particular Devil May Cry's air combos. That is, you can stay airborne by landing repeated hits—and if you can work out a particular sequence of hits, potentially create a loop that both keeps you aloft and will demolish anything.

This being a Lego game, and such a comprehensive one at that, it also includes a metric tonne of Star Wars characters you can play as. The Child Flight exploit was brought to notice by one Red Orb, who continues to experiment with different characters' air-combo strings and produce surprising results. Take Queen Padme, for example:
