Short Hopping

[Mars-]

Is short hopping really that useful that you should shorthop everyjump? I know for me I only see it useful for the down air on a fox shining your missile, or for platform canceling. I also use it for quick missile cancels on FD. Do I really need to short hop every single jump?

I wouldn't say that its needed every time but I find it helpful on CFs and falcos to shffl sexkicks alot. They usually end up running into a few.

If you shorthopped every single jump you could never reach any platforms without double jumping. It's mostly used for combos, and to do certain attacks, but I wouldn't do it every single time.

Ya, not every jump. But every jump where it would be faster or set you up better, ya

Its neccesarry in some cases, since Samus if a floaty character. So useful when like doing combos or if ur in the middle of a combo in the air? o.o

Well.... no, because its impossible to shorthop your second jump.

I think?

 

[Somebody]

I dont think he means double jumps too. And yes it is impossible to shorthop a double jump.
