SF_MULTIABILITY does not take shield abilities into account
@MonsterIestyn told me they might take a look at it, but I wanted to post about it here anyway for awareness. This is especially a problem with the Thunder Shield.

Wait WHAT????? How did I never know this was a thing until today? I did some experimenting and found that Metal Sonic can start a hover after using these shields' active abilities:
- Lightning
- Force
- Elemental
- Bubble (after bouncing up from the ground)
Surprisingly, this doesn't apply with attraction and armageddon's active abilties. Given the severe inconsistency in what shield abilities he can and can't hover after, this is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed. He's already way too much of a cheese machine for what his select screen description would imply.
I'm honestly surprised you never tried anything like this, I actually discovered this pretty early in 2.2's lifespan, but I felt like keeping the exploit to myself... But realizing I can't really put it to use in vanilla, I'd prefer to see it fixed, despite how absolutely funny it is.
