Platform Drop to Float Burns DJ Every Time

[kirbstir]

Try this:

Training mode
Battlefield

1) Run off one of the platforms into an instant float. If done right, you won't burn your DJ.
2) Drop through a platform into an instant float. You will always burn your DJ in this case.

At least, I've never been able to not burn my double jump in the second case.

Edit -

Platform dropping is known to the debug movelist as "PASS." For reasons unexplained, if Peach tries to float while in the PASS state, she'll always burn her DJ in the process. PASS lasts for 30 frames, too.

So apparently you just need half a second after dropping from a platform to float. Floating works fine when dropping from the top platforms if you wait longer than normal for that PASS mode to wear off. Thanks Ryoko.

Useful information in the peach forums?!?! I don't think you know how this forum works Joe. Very interesting though, I blame all of my "huh, where'd my jump go?" moments on this.
