you can double jump on a wall if that counts.

>>383109089
Yes, athletes in ancient greece (or rome or both?) used to drop weightss during the jump to gain extra height. It's just pointless, because thei lost the extra height gained in the first place beause they jumped with added weight.

Guys, you don't have to defend your PS2 era mediocre platformers, just accept that mid-air double jumps are fucking terrible both in terms of logic and gameplay. It's the result of developers who don't have the balls to make a game where players are expected perform precise jumps so they don't have to correct it with a second jump.

choose wisely

The problem with double jumps is they make correcting your mistake way too easy. You can freely change your trajector before hitting the ground so you would have to fuck up twice to fail the jump.

The only use of a double jump I've seen is Super Ghosts and Goblins. Since you have 0 air control even with a second jump it's still a challenge to platform.

Than again this a board that discusses crash bandicoot and kirby instead of contra and GnG so people here do not care much about the challenge in their platforming games.

>>383112038
That depends, can you double jump before hitting the ground to cancel the damage?

>>383109089
Next thing you're going to say is you're a virgin.

>>383112038

Purple

>>383112365
yes, but momentum remains intact

how ever well you can jump now is how much you could negate your velocity from falling

>>383112425
purple makes climbing a mountain easy, but descending it deadly

blue keeps climbing a mountain as difficult as it is, but you can get down by jumping and having a great time falling

>>383112205
A lot of times I see double jumps in games, the use is for height rather than averting fall deaths.

>>383110618
if the game isnt designed around the mechanic. spyro 1 had fantastic level design, especially the more hidden stuff, like blind gliding around a corner

>>383112685
>get down by jumping

forgot you cant jump anymore

>>383112038
can i climb ladders and shit with blue?

>>383113023
yes, you just can't jump

>>383112736
The game is going to contain vertical jumps at a certain point. Once that happens the jumps are going to get really fucking easy easy. If you realized you fucked up you can just change your trajectory. You can even completely jump back to the starting platform if you realized you fucked up before your first jump ends.

Essentially it dumbs down vertical jumping skill.

He complained about them casualizing platforming. Spyro IS a casual platformer, the most casual 3D platformer I know of. The jumps arn't going to pose any challenge for you unless you are an infant. You're proving his fucking point.

>>383113150
I'm not particularly talking about Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. I mean just where I see the utility for double jumps in general, like Metroidvanias more than traditional platformers where pit deaths are unheard of but unreachable ledges come in droves.

>Platformer game has hookshot

>>383113320
some of the jumps really require a precise apex glide. i played this shit a month ago, on many glides theres little room for error. regardless, "casual platformer" sounds like a redundant term

>>383113442

VVVVVV is one of the best platformers out there.

yeah, like what the fuck, thats not even a competition. Basketball would be a blast, as you aren't gonna go high enough to hurt yourself, and you can dunk all day.
Or you just airjump before hitting the ground in you have to jump off a bridge therefore reducing almost all of the damage.

>>383113509
There's pitfalls in metroidvanias too (at least in the good ones). For instance spiked pits or lava that takes off some health.

The only time this was ever hard was when you either didn't have the double jump or when they made you have to dodge shit in the air after you jumped (clock tower in CoTM or any other similar place that has medusa heads+platforming).

Also don't forget that you have to do vertical jumps to avoid certain boss patterns and the multi-jumping REALLY let's you cheese that stuff.

>>383113727
You sound like someone that has never played a hardcore game in your life. You arn't even aware that there are challenging platformers.

Geeze reading your post was depressing. It's hard because there are one or two jumps where you sort of have to pay attention. Like if you were a child and had literally never played a 3D game before I'd understand (that's the genre Spyro marketed itself to). Like you sound like someone that isn't even capable of putting effort into your hobby.

>>383113827
How ever you land on top of the box will be 2x worse. So imagine the strain of landing from a regular jump being twice as much. but I'd imagine jumping on a box would be similr to the strain of a regular jump without the perk.

>>383109557

With your logic, being able to correct your trayectory during a jump is shit too, and most platformers does that.

>>383116441
Not him but there's degrees of trajectory correction. Too much IS bad preciously because it dumbs down the jump. How much is "too much" depends on the speed of the game. If it is a very fast paced game (say the later contra games) than full jump control can still provide a challenge. But if it is a slow paced game (say NES castlevania) any jump control would let you cheese it.

The statement "most platforms do this" is sheepish and does not address the issue at all. It's the type of thing someone with confidense or knowledge would say.

>>383116707

The thing is that he's taking "logic" into consideration. With that in mind, every form of correction would be a bad thing.

>>383116998
You're ignoring the subject entirly and nitpicking over some poorly chosen word.

Essentially you are taking the discussion out of the range of platforming theory entirly.

>>383109089
When you jump, you're kicking/pushing the ground downwards and thus pushing yourself upwards into a jump.

While in the air, air is not solid and therefore you can't push yourself off of it. So you can't jump again.

>Who says Accusing when they're trying to prove something?
What? What would be the point of an accusation then?

At the when you already found proof and expose them, they would be labeled guilty not accused.
