IMO it’s jumping that has almost no horizontal movement or that completely stops the character from running.
After playing Guardians of the galaxy, this was the thing I hated the most about it…why make the jumps move you so little?
DMC also does this, the jumps are high, but they barely move horizontally and your character stops dead on his tracks before being to jump.
I tend to hit the space bar when running cause boredom and I accidentally maxxed out jumping in Oblivion (or some skill that governed it). It was like being on the moon and was utterly hilarious but completely immersion breaking
