Getting Through Soft Platforms?

So, I'm not sure how late to the party I am with this, but I'd like to ask about getting through soft platforms while airborne. It seems like that, at certain heights of being airborne above a soft platform, holding down before you reach the platform does not allow to fall through it, instead causing you to just land on it.

To my recollection this wasn't in Brawl nor Melee(although I might be mistaken), so what's the deal? An unfortunate side effect of all physics and engine changes, perhaps?

Although if it was done on purpose then disregard this, but I felt I should ask about it anyway...

Are you playing a multijump character? Multijump characters have a oversight in their DJ that doesn't allow them to fall through platforms during the DJ animation, so you'd have to wait until your character fully transitioned into the free fall animation. I believe it's going to be fixed with the next release.

Alright, sounds good, thanks for the heads up.

And yeah, I've been using Zard, so that's where the problems have been coming from.

Every action has a set of flags which include the ability to hold down and go through platforms. For whatever reason, brawl has the multi jump flags set so you cannot fall through the platform
