'''Zap Jumping''' is an advanced technique that doubles the height of [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]]'s [[second jump]].

To execute this boost, the player must use [[PK Fire]] within one [[frame]] of his double jump, essentially pressing them at virtually the same time (one sixtieth of a second delay). Lucas's air jump propels him by an upward force (like most characters), but for some reason the ascent is hindered by a downward force right after this, which is apparently negated by the [[side special move]]. | |||
The bolt of fire is released about halfway through the jump, and combined with [[B-sticking]] and [[Magnet Pull]], Zap Jumping allows for an impressive [[recovery]]. Due to the obscure nature of [[jump]]ing immediately after a [[special attack|special]], along with the awkward input layout on most [[controllers]]: it is advisable to change the [[controls]] to a more congruent assignment; the [[L]] or [[R button]], for example. | |||

{{SSBB|Ness}} is also strangely affected by using [[PK Fire]] with his [[second jump]]. When the two moves are used simultaneously, he will be propelled forward and slightly higher. This makes for a great [[approach]] and extends the [[special attack|special]] considerably, and can also be used for [[recovery]], acting as a barrier against opponents [[edgeguard]]ing from below.

A variation of this maneuver, known as the '''Firebound''', combines the mechanics of the PK Jump and B-sticking. By pressing the B-stick backwards while holding forward and double jumping, the player will shoot backward; a defensive maneuver.

This technique can be executed by playing as Lucas | |||
This technique can be executed by playing as Lucas at any stage, and have Lucas grab any [[item]]. Then Lucas should [[jump]], and throw the item that he holds upwards at the same time as he [[double jump]]s. Note that the item used doesn't have to be a throwing item, a batting item can also be used as long the item can be thrown away. This also works with [[Ray Gun]] and [[Super Scope]], while shooting them. | |||

Similar to Lucas' Zap Jump and item throw Zap Jump except Lucas has to use his Z-air and double jump at the same time instead of using a PK Fire or throwing an item. | |||

A much easier method of increasing Ness' | A much easier method of increasing Ness' midair jump height exists in SSB4 and involves airdodging as he uses his midair jump. Dubbed "PSI Floating" this will increase the jump's height by around 25%. This is exclusive to Ness, as attempting to perform it with Lucas or Mewtwo will actually lower their jump height. | ||
