Jumping

[Jerry Applesauce]

Sup guys, Jerry Applesauce here. Got my hands on the demo of Smash Bros. for 3DS, and I've had some fun with it. I haven't got the game yet...cuz, well...kinda not worth it when I'm considering getting a Wii U. Later, obviously.

Anyways, the game feels good. Almost too good. Buttery smooth. Better than Brawl. But there's something bugging me.

It's jumping. I been playing lots of Melee lately, and I feel like there's more jumping options in that game than this new one. I think you could short hop and normal jump, and then some in between, but in SSB4, it appears that there's only a short hop and normal hop. Can anyone confirm anything with me on this?

I feel fine hitting various heights tbh. I use Falcon and hitting various airs is a huge asset to me, seems fine once I turned tap jump off completely

Not sure if you got what I meant...

From what I've played there's only two possible initial jump heights: a short one and a full one. In Melee, there was a short one, a full one, and I think a few in between. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Looks like I'm stupid. There's two jump heights in both. Wow.

Maybe it's the characters. Some characters have shorter hopes (like pit and meta knight) while others have a larger jump (like Sheik or greninja) and you notice it, cause short hoping on greninja is a lot more noticeable on him, because his height is ridiculous.

you also consider the DI and the Fast fall feature, so there's a lot to think about when jumping I guess lol.
