as megaman main, ive always been told that megaman and tap jump on is bad. so ive always played with tap jump off, but now im looking into this and I see some people who play a lot better with tap jump on. Ive heard about Ranai the villager play with tap jump on and this makes it easier for him to tap jump while using the c stick to do those consistent falling fast fairs. what about megaman? what benefits does he have

I think it's all about preference. I can't play with tap jump on because I mess up my inputs and do a uair instead of a utilt.

Same with me I can't do it. It makes you have to be even more precise between utilt and usmash, and then adds jumping in there.

All depends on your preference really.

You can get all the benefit of tap jump on without using it by setting a shoulder button or Z to jump instead. Lets me do jumps into fast fall upairs easy etc, easily to out of shield options, and i don't lose momentum in the air from removing my stick from left or right.

I personally recommend learning L/R/Z one of those as jump for everyone, it offers nothing but benefits and no negatives.
