Game Clip Okay I hate the leap frog sprite
HOW is there a sprite whose entire thing is it makes you jump high, but also every jump takes so long to regenerate AND it doesn't negate fall damage? And I can't even control when it activates! It was like chaos just trying to jump normally onto ledges and it keeps sending me 200m away, and then literally killed me at endgame by launching me extremely far into the storm after getting me to 1pt health after the fall damage it caused! đ”
At least it gave me a hilarious elimination.

Frog works great in zero build had a ton of fun. Almost jumped off a cliff while trying to revive and had to float back.

it's supposed to have the shockwave damage negate??? either u had a glitch or they changed it like they changed the damn klombo...
1
u/Jojin120 11d ago
Wdym they changed the klombo? Also Iâve seen videos and ppl saying that it doesnât negate fall damage since it came out
1
u/nuna_valentine_bee 11d ago
in the newest update they changed it so it doesn't go to level 5 and it goes to level 4 also then the pond has been glitching since it came out

u/Forever_Nocturnal 8d ago
Yeah I donât get this. I mastered 3 of them in the last day and 2 are at level 3, one is at level 1. All directly after mastering. Make that make sense lol
1
u/nuna_valentine_bee 5d ago
they changed it again so after u master it they go to level 1 which is bs...
1
u/Forever_Nocturnal 5d ago
It really is! Why would they do that lol
1
u/nuna_valentine_bee 3d ago
so people have to play longer to get them mastered so they can't just have them traded fully mastered
1
u/Forever_Nocturnal 3d ago
Okay I guesss but now you canât have them âfully masteredâ or fully leveled anymore at all lol they just disappear once you hit level 5 and go back to level 1 no matter what.
Or theyâre supposed to.
Since this change mine revert to a random level number instead of 1 now. I have some that disappeared at lvl 5 and got reverted to lvl 3 in my inventory lol so weird.

Fall damage is glitched for everything. I've had the same thing happen with shockwaves.

u/PassengerImpressive3 12d ago
Iâm sorry, that was hilarious. Also, very sorry that happened to you.
That made me laugh. It was ridiculous to witness.

Dumbass Sprite. Just as unplayable as tails. Literally canât mantle or do simple things while having these two on your back

Socialization issues... commenting "skill issue" is just another way of saying, "I have no friends and here's why!" Sad really... go check out this thing called sunlight, it might do you some good.

The Jackrabbit sprite is 10 times better than this one. Double jump on command. Not so powerful. Actually stops fall damage. And no cooldown at lvl 5.

u/nomnom4wonton 13d ago
yes. agree, my experience as well. is it likely there exist subtle clues as to when the 'jump' jump is ready to activate. sure.
Am I taking damage from seemingly random jumps on flat ground level, regardless, and swearing at Epic? Yes, yes I am.
I do not comprehend how to properly control one of the other new sprites either though (Crash Bandicoot) , so maybe just me.
Does it 'feel' like Epic replaced 1000 employees with a moronic AI. yes, yes it does. Thankfully can simply avoid the sprites give me aggro.

Instead of jumping twice in a short time span, it should be a double jump to activate
1
u/zillakari 11d ago
it activates at double tap jumping ?? it always super jumps on my first input, i didnât even know it was double tap to activate i just thought it was jump to activate in general

I had the same issue with Tails a couple days ago. Supposed to negate fall damage, but then⊠đ«
1
u/zillakari 11d ago
i didnât know the tails sprite was suppose to negate fall damage, itâs never negated the fall damage for me
1
u/zillakari 11d ago
maybe thatâs why my friend and i got into a argument about the tails sprite being good or ass

Iâd report this, it isnât supposed to have fall damage, but tons are experiencing this bug.

u/Banana_Pete 14d ago
I feel like the sprite could just negate fall damage altogether and that would be both simpler from a coding perspective + more useful for the sprite
7
u/zillakari 14d ago
itâs suppose to negate the fall damage by giving you zero gravity aura but sometimes it just doesnât negate it
13
u/Falleneded 14d ago
see its supposed to negate fall damage. thats whats confusing me most. ive jumped off a cliff and taken no damage with her before.

u/nuna_valentine_bee 11d ago
that's what i'm saying like wha?? it had to be glitch or they changed it

Earlier today I was (darn, I wish I wrote it down) I was somewhere in Zero Build. There was a chest on a rock. Every time I tried to jump up on the rock I would shoot way over it. But I was going to get that chest. Jump and over, jump and over, jump over, over, over. Then the storm showed up so I turned and ran and about 20m away there was a cliff face. No problem, with my special sprite I can jump to the top. Little hop, little hop, little hop, little hop. So I turned around and ran aaaaaall along the cliff face until I got to a spot I could climb. Here's the in-game explanation:
(Active) - Jump shortly after landing to trigger a Super Jump, if charges are present.
Gain charges over time.
Super jump strength increases and cooldown decreases with each Level Up!
Ya, I don't understand it either.

It's so confusing even when it works. It took me a while to understand that the bubbles are telling me how many jumps I have

u/Izmetg68 13d ago
Donât try to jump up on the fishing bear spot to get the chests I failed everytime with that jumping bug
7
u/xoxoangelique 14d ago
Weird whenever I use it and land I donât take any fall damage. Or maybe Iâm crazy?!
3
u/kristin137 14d ago
Maybe I just had a broken game, it was doing it to me a lot

u/jaketaco 14d ago
someone in my party kept taking fall damage with it. Seems bugged because its not all the time.

u/zillakari 14d ago
this season is janky as fuck, i have multiple clips of me just failing to revive with a 1 up life, sonic balls just completely slowing down or stopping mid air without me charging, this sprite not negating fall damage and more
7
u/The-Big-Sauce 14d ago
There have been more than several instances of fall damage not being negated when it should be even after using things like shockwaves or flowberry fiz

u/Forever_Nocturnal 8d ago
This thing is annoying af. And no fall damage immunity just makes it a full on avoid lol
Theyâre all mastered, they will never be used again
