Move character with AddForce

Question

Hello I have a 2D game with a character that can jump and move left/right. Recently i changed the movement script and i'm now using Rigidbody.AddForce instead of changing the transform.position. The problem is, that the character moves very slow when is on the ground (inAir it moves as fast as it should). I looked into different answers but the only solution seems to be increasing the speed value or decreasing gravity. But if i increase the speed, it has way to fast inAir movement and if i decrease gravity, it falls extremely slow. Does anyone know another solution or a trick to solve or bypass the problem?

I think it would be better to use RigidBody2D.velocity instead of RigidBody2D.AddForce...

Sounds like perhaps it's a friction problem, you need to create a Physics2D Material and set the Friction to 0. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PhysicsMaterial2D.html

Also for moving it might be best to use Rigidbody2D.velocity instead of AddForce(); at least that's the method that I prefer, I covered a 2D Character controller here https://unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=Bf_5qIt9Gr8

And a Platformer controller here https://unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=DEGEEZmfTT0

With friction, the player can't climp any wedges. There is also some very weird sliding and speed increase over time. The problem with the velocity is, that by using this the player falls extremely slow It also can't walk over edges. is there another way of doing this?
