>When you jump, you go just as fast as in CV4, and both things together, the walk speed and jump speed, lead to more intense gameplay.

That's a big problem for me too, because part of what I like about Classicvania when it's done right is the grounded "footsies" where positioning is key and jumping is a highly committal last resort (almost like a fighting game). To me, the games should be emphasizing the better maneuverability you have on the ground for intense back and forth positioning.

To each their own though. I absolutely, positively, cannot stand slow move-speed in almost any genre. Even shmups, if you stick me with a really slow moving ship (Raiden III), I instantly lose any ability to have fun with the game.
