Tap jump on/off

[ぱみゅ]

I'm certainly know this thread had to be created before, but I'm just courious.

Pesonally, I have it OFF.
Utilts are a lot easier, do not accidentaly jump, and for Peach, allows a lot of float possibilities for mindgames unless missing your second jump!

 

[Tophes]

It depends on the situation to be honest. As a Marth main, I need tap jump on because it makes it easier to do up-B out of shield. You're fine with tap jump off since you wouldn't need to do that. I don't know about the whole floating at ground level and what not though.

With Tap Jump off Marth can still easily up b out of shield if R or L is replaced with jump. Same with Bowser or Meta Knight.

 

[demonictoonlink]

Just saying, if you want the tactical advantage, always keep tap jump on. Harder to learn, but moar PROFIT

 

[smashkng]

Tap jump on/off is all preference with most characters.

 

[UltiMario]

I play with it off because its so fricking annoying, but I've been seeing that it might be more useful to have it on to Uair combo easier.

 

[GreenFox]

I have it off honestly how can you play with it on? It messes me up bad

 

[★Malik★™]

I play with it on. i sometimes use it, when i want to. if i turn it off, ii know its gonna mess me up some how.

 

[TheMike]

ON is better if ur char has a great Up B because of the Up B's OoS when the opponent pillars u :X

 

[demonictoonlink]

Just wondering...there was no way to turn it off in melee, right? At least I never found it...

The search function is your friend.

No, there wasn't.

 

[Arora]

Off
On is annoying

Peach has no real advantages with tap jump being off. I play with it on, and there's really no problem at all. I mean, what's the deal? I u tilt just fine, and there's no trouble if you play as peach... You can easily mindgame, just use y and down to fc, and you won't jump when you try to u air. And I never jump when I u tilt anymore. Plus, I play melee, and I'm used to the fact that tap jump's on.

 

[demonictoonlink]

Thanks a lot affinity.
That kinda makes me wonder....Why do so many of you complain about it? The other two didn't let you turn it off. You'd think you'd have adapted by now.

 

[Bartolon]

Off Never liked it when it's on

 

[Llumys]

I play with tap jump off to retain my jump after using my upb.

I can still do all the JC techs, though.

 

[ChAlz]

I have it off, but sometimes i'll turn it on if I'm QACing with pika.

 

[Slasherx]

I have it off, easier tilt, DAC, and SH.
Oh yeah, is a freaking wii remote+nunchuck >__>

 

[Noobicidal]

On for Puff, Ganon, and Spamus, and Off for D3.

 

[thanortinzak]

Off for pretty much every character with a good DACUS/upTilt.

 

[CaLibUr_1337]

Dacus

what is DACUS? Just curious. Thx

 

[ChAlz]

Off usually, except when i QAC with pika.

 

[My Cat Owns]

I play Tap Jump off, just cause utilts are way harder, upb might make yo uwaste a jump, uairs make you jump etc.

 

[MarioMariox2]

Unless you've mastered utilts, in melee, I'd say stick to tap jump off.

 

[Rappster]

dacus=dash attack canceled upsmash

 

[Luigimar]

Well I use Wolf and his best aerial is probably Uair so I have mine on.

 

[Boofy!]

depends on character.. go to the character specific boards for specifics.

EDIT: W0W just realized how redundant that post was LOL.. whatevss its 4:30 in the morning.. sleep johnss all day

 

[Mota]

I'm used to tap jump being ON, too lazy to turn off.

 

[Affinity]

Thanks a lot affinity.

No problem

Most of the people that don't like default settings didn't play Melee seriously, so they never really got accustomed to default settings, if that makes sense.

The only exception that I can think of is if a Melee veteran's Brawl main needs TJ off to be used correctly in competitive play.

 

[Nicholas1024]

Personally, I've used nothing but tap jump since SSB 64, and that's not about to change now.

 

[Zaffy]

Off, i like using Uptilt.

 

[Sosuke]

Tap just on is for real men.

Also, benefits with tap jump on >>> benefits with tap jump off.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Using Utilt with tap jump on is reaaaaally easy.

Maybe you could, iunno, TILT the control stick?

 

[zeldspazz]

Using Utilt with tap jump on is reaaaaally easy.

Maybe you could, iunno, TILT the control stick?

But easier without in most peoples opinions

I have it off, mainly because I use Zelda the most, and sweetspotting the ledge with tap jump on can be difficult if I didnt already use my 2nd jump. And Utilts.

On an almost unrelated note, can you do a utilt by tilting the control stick and the cstick up at the same time?

 

[Pr0phetic]

With Tap Jump off Marth can still easily up b out of shield if R or L is replaced with jump. Same with Bowser or Meta Knight.

Just had to clear this up, it isn't as easy because you'd still have to input the UpB!

 

[Sosuke]

Inputting UpB is really hard imo. =|

 

['V']

I usually keep it on. I only like to turn it off whenever I'm playing as Yoshi.

 

[Pete434]

Tap jump on, so I can up-b out of shield

 

[xLeafybug =D]

I can't stand to not have it on with any character but Snake. Not having it on screws up my Melee game so bad.

 

[Cel]

I play with it off now to make short hop > uair without using the c stick easier, but i can also play with it on. I'm used to it from melee so it doesn't really make a huge difference to me.
