I picked up IC's litereally today and was practicing desyncing. I did it with a shorthop, and wondered what would happen if i jumped with popo afterwards. The answer was that they ended at the same height. This meant nana didn't go as far as popo since she was already in the air. So I decided to see what happened if i made popo shorthop. The answer?

Nana's midair short hop.

So far two things about this. One is the potential usefulness of this. You can have the same aerial at the same time at two different heights.

The other was that sometimes nana does this sort of weird hovering. I'm not sure if it was from the bair's i was doing or from just the short hop itself. I think it's for the following reason. The game expects the two IC's to be togetherdoing the double jump, and so when popo lands nana sort of lands as well, in midair. Any thoughts?

i now learned that if you do this and then double jump so that yoyu're now slightly higher than nana, nana falls at a ridiculously slow speed, so you can still get the bairs at two different levels but now higher, and with room for another tw bairs/waveland. Nana falls slowly until popo gets next two her. It's like the game is trying to push nana to popo but contradictining itself, and so she gets tugged between popo and the ground.

it's probably just

1) IC double jump is shorter than their grounded jump so the DJ has the illusion of being a SH height
2) you're getting confused by falling speed // acceleration // terminal velocity
