Melee Platform Questions

When jumping on a ledge from underneath should I do a normal jump or an instant double jump, both followed up by a ledge cancel

I really don't think it matters too much, although a full hop would probably be better than using a short hop + midair jump in case you get hit off-stage unexpectedly (without your midair jump). Also...ledge cancelling is rather difficult to do consistently or reliably. Wavelanding is probably the better choice.

I do not do a short hop and then mid air jump, I double tap y and I do the mid air jump right off the ground. I was asking cuz I think the instant double jump is faster when your trying to jump on platforms

Generally speaking, if you want to get to a platform as fast as possible, yeah, you should use your double jump. Each jump is the fastest at the beginning (obviously characters like Ness, Yoshi, etc are exceptions), so the fastest way is to use the fastest part of your first jump plus the fastest part of your second jump. Probably don't want to double jump instantly though, as that would waste your first jump. Then once you're on the platform, just waveland down.

So what your saying is that double jumping is not typically done because it uses your jump that you might need

What about droping from on top of platorms, i never got the hang of that.

Why isn't TL your Brawl main?

 

[Dextrose]

i felt that link got a major buff and just like using him more, and i like his character design more
but TL s up is really good when you recover from an off screen kill, but Links arrow cancel is better
I normally switch it up, but i mainly use Link

Ah ok, just kidding anyway - just your mains are almost identical to mine
