Someone named chris discovered a new technique that appears to be exclusive to lucas (so far). I thought this deserved some awareness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q7RqH1Lfu4

I can see that being very useful for recovery. :D

Except if you flub it, you're going to have a hard time making it back.
According to those comments, you just jump, and hit back, forward B really quick?

To be honest, I'm having a hard time telling what exactly is going on. Could anyone elaborate on what the 'Zap Jump' is exactly?

^This and...
Can someone please describe it? I cannot watch the video as of now, so a description would be incredibly helpful.
You see Lucas jumping, double jumping and then going 2 times higher after pk firing using the explained method~ There are 4 lucas on the screen so the camera stands still and the Lucas that performed the maneuver goes high enough to exit the screen.
I tried it ingame.
It increases the height of your second jump by far. Lucas jumps incredibly high.
Also, it isn't difficult to do this. You need a little bit training for timing, but then it's really easy to do.
With this glitch Lucas can recover (after Pit) the biggest vertical distance of all characters.

ANOTHER thing Lucas has over Ness, I swear Sakurai likes him more.

Though I highly doubt it, can Ness do this too? If anyone can give it a try and confirm it, and by this I mean messing with the timing and such just to make sure that it's not just slightly different for him, I think it would go a long way to proving that Lucas > Ness.

Now lets hope this is still in the US version.

I tried it yesterday. It was very hard, but i did it three times. really cool move.

I tried it, its a cool move. It gets easier after you get used to the timing but i still cant do it consecutively lol.
I just tried it today. It's really nifty. I didn't find it that difficult to do--just press the Special button and Jump buttons at the same time when performing PK Fire. I actually did it my first try. Pretty simple. I hope it's in the US version, too. Ness can't do it. I think it's because Lucas's PK Fire has that kick back effect, and I think that's what's glitching with his jump to make this happen. Ness remains stationary in the air when he uses PK Fire, so he can't zap jump.

Ness doesn't need it... he has other skills that would be way more useful (especially in bed). but ya cool glitch. i will have to try it. also, what happens to the pk fire? i haven't watched the vid recently (and frankly i don't feel like watching it again) and i think i remember the pk fire disappearing. does it continue forward invisible? does it equip the hitbox of the pk fire for those frames, similar to YYG, or does it just go away?

I remember doing this by accident and shrugging it off, but now that the method's known it's going to be fun to play around with it.
On another note, would this technique be banned in a tournament? (such as the upcoming gamestop one >.>')

Seeing how this could have a tremendous impact on Lucas' recovery, I don't see why Ness wouldn't want to be able to do the same... What other skills are you refering to exactly?

Yeah, this will be really nice considering the difficulty involved in trying to get a PKT2 to go straight up (especially when you can't see yourself. It's as if Lucas has sonic's recovery, lol.
Also reminds me of the samus grapple thing in melee...

This looks pretty sweet. When I get my US Brawl, I'll experiment a bit with it.

I'm starting to get the hag the hang of it now. except sometimes i mess up and use pk freeze. i used it to prove to my friends that I don't need to use pk thunder to break the targets.

I got my copy of Brawl and this is actually really easy. The bolt shoots out about halfway through the "jump".
And I'll have to check whether your momentum affects the height of the jump. Check here later for info.
Ok I just checked and your momentum hardly affects your height at all, maybe like a cm difference.

Hey, i just got the U.S. version, and i can't quite get the zap jump down. I'm sure it's still in this version, but can anyone confirm it?
EDIT: thanks for the help. i can do it now

It is in the US version make sure you are pressing jump and side-b at exact same time. For me I have jump also set to L so I just press L and side-b at the same time. Works everytime.
I was so afraid they were going to take it out for the US version, but luckily it does still work!
EDIT: I just noticed something really interesting. Ness can't Zap Jump, but he can do ... something else. His PK Fire still has an odd effect when timed a certain way with his second jump. He kind of slides upwards at about a 45 degree angle in front of him. The trajectory is similar, but not identical, to his second jump. The catch is that he throws the PK Fire on the fly. As in, he begins his throwing animation in one place, slides a considerable distance, and releases at the peak of the slide!
EDIT: The Ness players are telling me this is old news. Ah well. Still cool and useful.

So does everyone has there controller set up a special so they can do this? Is it eve possiable to do this with the default controls?

I have preformed this a few times now but can't get the timing down perfectly. I would experiment more but I'm trying to switch from a gcn controller to wiimote+nunchuk right now
