Jumping is an action that moves a character from the ground into mid-air. It is performed by pressing up on the control stick, or the X or Y buttons. 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.
Before a character jumps from the ground, they must first crouch down for a split second. If the Control Stick or jump button is released during this crouch, then the character short hops. If the standard attack button is pressed during this time, then the character uses their up smash. Because characters can jump while shielding (excluding Yoshi, who has a unique shield), this allows usage of up smashes (and Up-Bs as well) without having to drop the shield. This also makes it difficult for a player using the Wiimote-only control scheme from using up tilts.
