==Jump squat==
==Jump squat==
A '''jump squat''' or '''windup''' refers to the length of time between the input of the jump and the moment the character leaves the ground. Each character has a different window of time where they crouch before they jump. Characters with faster jump squats will leave the ground earlier, and can transition between their air and ground games easier; however, depending on the control scheme, the player may find it more technically demanding to perform short hops or up smashes. In ''Melee,'' characters with faster jump squats can also perform [[wavedash]]es quicker.

In ''Melee,'' characters with faster jump squats can also perform faster [[wavedash]]es, but the window of timing is also reduced, requiring more precise inputs from the player.

The mechanic of "jump initial height" was introduced in ''Ultimate''. This value is the height that a character will reach within the first 4 frames of their full hop (doesn't affect short hops or air jumps). It results in characters being able to gain more height in less time compared to ''Smash 4'', often having 1.5-3× the starting speed and reaching the same heights a few frames faster. For most characters the initial height is 0.55× their full hop height, the exceptions being the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} at 0.35×, {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} at 0.4×, and {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} at 0.56×.
