Jump

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: smash 64 jumps (tap/button jump, stand/walk/backward jump, short-hop/full-hop jump, all 12 combinations have different heigths), maybe in another section called "types of jumps") Captain Falcon jumping in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Mario jumping in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Mario jumping backwards in Melee. A jump is an action that moves a character from the ground into the air. It is performed by pressing up on the Control Stick/D-Pad, the X or Y buttons with the GameCube, Classic Controller, and the 3DS, or the C button on the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. All characters can also jump a second time in midair, providing they are not attacking, air dodging, helpless, in hitstun, or have used it already. A few characters can jump more than once in the air. There is a short delay between the jump button being pressed and the on-screen character actually jumping, during which the onscreen character will enter a crouching portion of their jumping animation. If the control stick or jump button is released during this time, then the character short hops. If the control stick is tilted backwards during this time, the character will jump backwards with a different animation than a regular jump. If the standard attack button is pressed during this time, then the character uses their up smash (but only if the jump was executed with the Control Stick). Because characters can jump while shielding (excluding Yoshi in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, due to his unique shield), this allows usage of up smashes (and up special moves as well) without having to drop the shield. This also makes it difficult for a player using the Wii Remote-only control scheme to perform up tilts. Inputting an aerial on the first frame that a character is airborne will cause the jump to be slightly lower, because gravity applies to the first frame of an aerial but not to the first frame of a jump. Brawl added a jumping mechanic known as footstools. This allows characters to jump off the heads of other characters. This can be done even when all midair jumps have already been used. Jump timing Also known as jumpsquat, each character has a different window of time where they crouch before they jump. Characters that leave the ground faster can transition between their air and ground games easier; however, depending on the control setup, they may find it more technically demanding to perform short hop or up smash.

Ultimate Every character has a 3 frame jumpsquat. Jump height ranking This article or section may require additional technical data. The editor who added this tag elaborates: Needs specific jump height values for all non-Smash 4 games You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it. Below are characters ranked by the height of their first jump. Note that there are two methods to encode jump height, depending on the game. In SSB, Melee, and Brawl, the game encodes jump force, or the speed at which the character leaves the ground. The resulting jump height is dependant on the character's gravity. In SSB4, the game encodes jump height, and works backwards using gravity to figure out the correct force to use. This allows more natural behaviour to modifications of jump height from equipment or special moves such as Monado Arts. Super Smash Bros. The jump physics of SSB are significantly less understood than later games due to extra complexity in the data. It is currently believed that there are two values involved in a normal jump: a base jump force, and an additional jump force based on how much height is given to the Control Stick. Until this is more elaborated, only the typical maximum jump force is listed here. The calculation of short hop jump force is currently unknown. This article or section is incomplete.
