I posted this comment on latest development update 10 Youtube video, but I hope reposting it here will increase it's chances of being seen by the Bloodstained team.
I think I figured out why I, including many others, feel her jump has always seemed 'off' or floaty. It could be that Miriam has the same jump animation regardless of whether she's jumping straight up from resting position, or when jumping forward while in motion. In contrast, Alucard from SotN has 2 separate jumping animations. One for jumping straight up, when his body is in the vertical position, head directly above his feet perpendicular to the ground. And a different animation when jumping forward, where he leads with his head, leaning forward and he body is diagonal to the ground. Which feels like he has momentum carrying him forward, unlike Miriam where she seemed to be floating every time she jumps because her body is always perpendicularly aligned with the ground no matter the trajectory.
If you need a visual on body angle, running from left to right:
Miriam Alucard

I hope the team can create a different jump animation for Miriam when she's in motion, where she has forward momentum throughout her jump just like Alucard's.
