Zap Jumping Q

Hello. This is going to sound ********, but although I've played Ness/Lucas for so long, I very recently started trying to step up my game with advanced Lucas techniques, namely zap jumping, for a tournament I'm thinking about entering soon. I think it's amazing, but I'm having a hard time finding a real, concrete application for it, other than simply gaining insane air. Am I missing something? Thanks for tolerating this dumb question.

Its not useful as an attack, good for recovery unless you mess it up. Zap Jump to Magnet Pull is cool.

Oh, yeah, it itself isn't an attack, but I thought with something this unique there were crazy ways to transition into attacks or something. Maybe I just refuse to believe it's anything more than a flashy jump when just standing/fighting on the stage.:ohwell:

Heh yea, not much application when you are on the stage. But if you ever need a big vertical recovery and pk thunder will be a hard recovery to make, zap jump will get the job done splendidly (as long as you don't screw it up lol)

True that. Alright, thanks for the tips. I've also found that on a smaller basis, it helps with mindgames and escaping opponents attacks. It frustrates the h3ll out of them. :laugh:
