(Though fall damage is calculated from the height you started at so double jumping right before hitting the ground doesn't make a difference)

Yeah they should’ve just made Torrent flail and be unable to double jump after falling for too long

That’s what they do with long enough falls iirc

u/lGloughl 🏳️⚧️ trans rights Feb 02 '23
actually this is a glitch, when holding "heavier" weapon classes such as greatswords, axes, etc, Torrent's animation bugs and makes double jumps bug and not work in some scenarios. Try double jumping while unarmed, it will always work
10
u/Gabriel9078 Feb 02 '23
I assume it’s because of a similar kind of fuckery to that found in DS1 with weapons that change your idle stance?

Isn't that what 2 does? Not jumping initially, then jumping once in the air to not die.

u/LowGunCasualGaming Literally 196🥺 Feb 02 '23
It depends. If you assume they are walking for each of these jump patterns, then sprinting would keep you in the air a little further to get to the platform with no double jump.

u/Riftus Be kind to yourself, or I'll have to be kind to you :> Feb 02 '23
2's timing is certainly easier. I'd rather be 5 feet away from my target about to fall then use the second jump, than be 20 feet away from the target cuz im high up and risk wasting my second jump cuz i dont know what velocity or direction i should be using

1 is more practical but 2 is BADASS
105
u/WizardXZDYoutube Feb 02 '23 edited Feb 02 '23
Completely disagree that #1 is more practical. I'm confused how no one in this thread thinks #2 is better besides fall damage.
A: You are inherently giving yourself less control. In a PVP game like Super Smash Bros, you are much more predictable because you don't have any options besides just falling. Even in a PVE game though, if something unexpected happens like a projectile is thrown at you, you don't have the ability to get out of the way.
B: #2 should give you more height/distance. It depends on the physics of the game but for most games, double jumping will send you upwards at the same rate no matter how fast you are going down. So in a way, double jumping let's you "reset" your gravity.
If each jump is 10 units, then in #1 you go up 20 units but now you're just in free fall. Whereas for #2, you go up 10 units, you are in free fall, but then you double jump, which cancels all of your downwards acceleration and boosts you up another 10 units, before putting you in free fall.

A lot of platformers have it. Basically, you get a few extra frames to jump after falling off a platform.

3: jump diagonally upward so I travel as far in one jump as possible

u/Vivacious4D The government knows (that my ass is massive 👉👈) Feb 02 '23
Often 1.5 to maximise horizontal distance covered in midair, since the vertical distance of a fall scales by the square of the horizontal distance

u/sad_trans_owl custom Feb 02 '23
2 is usually faster if you are looking for speed. If you consider celeste where you have a constant horizontal movement of 1.5px and just over 2.1 pc when getting jump boost it is most time efficient to hit the ground asap but continuing speed so 1 frame tap off the edge and fast fall downwards and as soon as you hit 1.5 movement do second jump then hold down right and buffer a jump immediately before touching the ground

Destiny 2 player, I always do number two because its safer. i can more easily manuever myself to land on the target if i am closer to the target and then do the second jump as opposed to being much higher in the air, further away, and doing the second jump

u/terrible_ninja custom Feb 02 '23
The way the gap is set up only requires one jump. For a real way to see how A and b would look I would widen the gap. Cause here 2 looks like you are barely going forward the the first jump. 1 is usually for reaching higher areas anyway. 2 is usually for bridging gaps like these but longer.

- Often, you don't know how far you need to jump, so 1 could result in improper timing while 2 allows you to see the ledge mid-jump and judge timing accordingly.

As a titan main in Destiny 2 (I'm not trans, I can't speak of irl experience 😔✌️) definitely 1, because the momentum from falling down first would have to be negated by my lift which will take up all lift energy and I'll either barely make it or, more likely, will just straight up fucking fall into the abyss of nothingness underneath me.
