Is short hopping difficulty different with each character?

[BlueXenon]

I feel like short hopping with characters like MK, ganon, Zelda, is easier than doing it with Zss, Lucario, pikachu...

When you shorthop, you have to let go of jump before the character leaves the ground.

That being said, characters with slower jump speed (like heavyweights) are easier to SH with.

 

[Le vieux lapin]

Each character's SH is different because all characters have differing jump heights,speed, rate
of falling, weight and aerial horizontal mobility.
All of them can SH, but some of them shouldn't.

Lol, to the point where its difficult to fullhop >_> ... or im just not used to heavies

Project M makes short hops easier. Brawl is just at its standard.

It's no big deal once you get used to it.

Those don't affect short hop difficulty. How many frames you have to let go of the jump button is determined by the length of the characters jump squat animation which how long it takes for your character to leave the ground.

Pretty sure that it doesn't.

Nonsense. Short hopping in PM AND Melee is waaaayyy easy, Specially with Fox (on both games). Short Hop, B reversal double lasers for everyone!

Serious answer to thread:Yes, it's different.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

PM has the same short hopping window as Brawl.

I know how to short hop. I was just asking a question.

no, PM has the same short hop timing as melee.

Every time somebody talks about shorthopping being hard I will eat a kitten.

Short hopping so hard

 

[holyv]

Yes, it just sucks doing with fox.
Ganon is the easiest (:

 

[Mercurium]

It makes absolutely no sense, but I think short hopping is easier with Y. But it may just be me.

 

[holyv]

maybe your controller has something under the X button mate
This is personal preference :DD

 

[Mercurium]

No, I just find having the jump button further away makes it easy to release earlier.
Or I just suck .

But, yeah, I'll probably have to check the X button anyway.

 

[Espyo]

I think it's just you. I have a hard time doing anything with the Y button.
Anyway, it's what most people said: depends on the time the character takes to squat. AFAIK, Bowser is the slowest, and Falco is the fastest. You can use BrawlBox to check how many frames each character takes.
