As you might know, you can now jump on another character to give you a boost and Sakurai decided to call this the footstool jump.
dojo update: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique03.html
I will try to give as much detail and descriptive as possible.
First of all, to execute it. You must push the jump button around the head area of the other character. YOU DO NOT NEED A JUMP TO EXECUTE IT!!!
Simple right? Well here are some of the little facts that people might be asking me.
1. You can footstool jump as many time as you want on the other character but it follows the exact same law as the wall jump in melee. Each jump will make you go up less and less to the point where you don't even go up anymore.
2. You can only jump again after the footstool jump at the peak of the footstool jump height. If you push the jump button earlier than that then nothing will happen at all.
3. Character like Pit and Metaknight who have multiple jumps can still use all their remaining jump after the footstool jump. They can also jump - footstool jump - jump - footstool jump until they can't jump any more too.
4. Yoshi footstool jump doesn't give him the double jump invincibility thing. Although, footstool jump + yoshi's second jump makes him go up very high.
5. So far, it seems that you can't "meteor cancel" out of the footstool jump at all. It sends you down and stunt you base on how high your percentage is.
6. The footstool jump does no damage at all. That's right, it does 0% to the person. It only serves as a boost or to spike someone with it. It still stunts them for a good amount of time at 0% though to spike people.
I think that's everything about it but if you have any question about the footstool jump technique then feel free to ask. Also, this is still a demo so don't go crazy if it isn't the same as the real game when it comes out.
edit1: You do the footstool jump about 4 to 5 times before you don't go up anymore.
