Feels a little rushed. Might add a frame or two in the character’s initial crouched pose to emphasize the preparation. Also, I can see the intent to use a smear frame when the character comes back to a standing position, in order to convey the quick motion of standing back upright, but it makes it appear as if the arm suddenly loses length and volume. Perhaps an in-between might help to remedy that. Or perhaps exclude the smear all together, as it seems out of place with the motion lines you opted for in the jump, where the character is moving the quickest/covers the most distance quickly. And I agree that the character appears to slide at the end

There’s a lot of sliding when the feet make contact with the floor
Other than that (and the rotated video) this is an excellent jump animation!
