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 Brawl
Mario jumping in 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 Melee and 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.

Jump height ranking

Data.png 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 lists ranking characters by how high they jump. Note that this list only measures their first jump; ergo, all additional jumps are irrelevant.

Super Smash Bros.

The following is a ranking of the characters in Super Smash Bros. based on how high they jump from the ground with #1 being the highest jump.

Rank Character
1 Luigi
2 Captain Falcon
3 Samus
4 Donkey Kong
5 Jigglypuff
6 Mario
7 Pikachu
8 Fox
9 Kirby
10 Link
11 Ness
12 Yoshi

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The following is a ranking of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee based on how high they jump from the ground, along with the jump force of each character.

Rank Character Force
1 Falco 4.1
2-3 Fox 3.68
2-3 Luigi 3.68
4 Captain Falcon 3.1
5-6 Bowser 2.8
5-6 Sheik 2.8

23-24 Samus 2.1
23-24 Zelda 2.1
25 Kirby 2

When combined with gravity and falling speed (characters that fall faster cannot jump as high with the same jump force), the ranking of jump height from the ground is:

Rank Character
1 Falco
2 Luigi
3 Captain Falcon
4 Donkey Kong
5 Marth
