Is it just me or is short hopping much easier?

is it just me or is short hopping much easier here than in melee and project M?

Seeing as others report it as being harder, and others report it as being the same, I'd say it's not necessarily just you, but it's definitely good that you find them easy to perform.

As far as i can tell they seem pretty similar to past smash games, although its possible they're a bit easier, i definitely don't think they're harder to perform tho.

They might be, but I typically don't use characters that are able to shorthop with aerials that autocancel upon landing or are don't leave me flopping on the ground for half a year, so it comes off as kinda worthless this time.
To me, at least; seems to work very well for characters like CF, Shulk, and Fox, who were blessed with mechanics that actually suit the flow of the game.

I find it easier, but I guess that's because I haven't played Melee for ages.

I still alternate between SSB4-3DS and Melee and I find it much easier to do in SSB4. It's basically effortless to me, imo; whereas in Melee my short hops are more haphazard. That could have something to do with the controller, too.

Yeah short hopping is a lot easier because since smash 4 is a lot more slower game than Project M you don't need as much precise button input

If you main Spacies, I can see why you'd think it's easier. I've also noticed that it seems easier, though I can't really tell the difference when I use Marth.
