Short hop: Difference between revisions

A short hop can be performed using any controller and configured control scheme, including button-jump and control-stick-jump methods. A character's [[jump]] timing or '''jumpsquat''' affects the timing of the short hop, with longer jumpsquats leading to more lenient timing for short hopping. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', for instance, a player using {{SSBM|Fox}} must release the jump input before the 3rd [[frame]] of jump squat to achieve a short hop, while a player using {{SSBM|Bowser}} must release within 8 frames. For frame data, refer to [[Jumping#Jump_timing|Jumping]]. The height of a short hop varies from character to character, but the height is not directly proportional to the height of a character's full jump.
