scar jumping

so i can scar jump and have gotten a max of 7

note that when i say scar jump i do not mean repeated walljump, because walljumping over and over again is not scar jumping at all. that was something that people were aware of since the beginning of melee.

when i say scar jumping i mean walljumping off the side of yoshi's story without using my second jump. this initial walljump frome an edgehog position without using my double jump is "scar jump"ing.

repeatedly walljumping after that is simply something awesome that scar does in conjunction with the initial scar jump.

but.....two issues

1. why the **** does falcon bair randomly when you press back on the cstick when you're trying to ledge drop, it seems completely random. needless to say, bairing completely messes up the scar jump and you just die, so i tried using down on cstick which worked at first....but then he started randomly dairing right from the ledge also....(although this is noticeably less frequent than the bair) EXPLANATIONS? and any way to FIX this??

2. how exactly do you guarantee an initial scar jump from the ledge.....i can do it but again, it's completely random, i usually have a around 10-20 percent success rate......help please?

sometimes u dont need the c-stick
but i think thats on flat surfaces

u probably moved the c-stick in two angles unconsciously

ya, well at least ive done it w/o c-stick couple of times
mostly on a flat stage though, i just slammed the control stick the other direction while hanging.

although hyrule temple is ********, the middle part with the grabbable edge, u can do it 100% without c-stick. And thats proof that its possible

Like MexicanBJ said, it's because you angle it, that's the reason why or your Cstick is broken and sometimes "glitch out" and put in 2 commands.. but I highly disregard that being the problem..

Scar jumping is fun though.. you can do some really creative stuff using it.

try just tilting the c-stick. not smashing.
tilting is a good way instead of smashing.what tends to happen when you smash c-stick you slightly hit another direction like back up or back down.another reason is if you hit bair while tilting or holding the control stick froward, you you also do bair.so make sure if you do use C-stick(since its faster)your neutral with control..

alright guys, some things i need to clear up

scar jumping is ONLY the initial walljump off of YOSHI'S STORY where the character walljumps BEFORE and WITHOUT using his double jump.

scar jumping can ONLY be done on yoshi's story.

places when you don't need the cstick include the rock transformation on pokemon, green greens ledges, fourside ledges, mushroom kingdom II ledges, etc. This is NOT scar jumping, all you have to do is hit control stick away from the ledge and the character will walljump. this has been known forever.

walljumping repeatedly is called nothing. it is awesome but not scar jumping.
