Post a better mechanic that doublejump

air dash

Double jump is a crutch for shitters

Different jump styles is better than a double-jump mechanic. The spin jump from SMW is a good example.

Triple jumps just aren't the same. They never feel as good as the double jump.

There was a really cool mechanic in Psy-Ops where you could use a scouty orb to find an enemy soldier, take complete control of his body, and shoot his buddies and make him kill himself that I've only seen replicated in Stubbs the Zombie of all games.

triple jump is just 2 doubles jumps

>Actual Zoomers calling G'n'G a shoddily made platformer that isn't confident in its mechanics

Best mechanic is real time passage.

Normal jumps with stiff controls on the movement before landing.

Nah. Fuck classicvania.

>2 double jumps
But wouldn't that be a quadruple jump?

...

double jump is making a jump in the air, so you're doing 2 double jumps

Subtle momentum is why Mario feels much better than most other platformers

In that order

But the 2nd double jump can't be a double jump, since its not doubling anything.
Therefore its a third jump, therefore a triple jump.
The only way its 2 double jumps is if its a quadruple jump.
Or if you're REALLY stupid, calling a triple jump 2 double jumps could start implying 6 jumps.

That's a high jump while taking damage. Objectively the WORST jump mechanic, right next to something as stupid as strafe jumping just to move faster.

Mario and rayman are mid tier platformers.

air dashing/"blinking"
especially if you maintain momentum instead of travelling a fixed distance then stopping

>All 3D Marios keep moves from Super Mario 64
>All of these moves are objectively shittier than one specific move

I fucking hate how most of the new Mario games have destroyed all the different jumps Mario had. In 64 each jump had a specific purpose:
>Triple jump for height
>Backwards Somersault for quick height in a smaller space
>Crouching Somersault when you don't have much room to maneuver
>Long jump for distance

Meanwhile in the other games there's really no reason to ever use any of the jumps besides:
Sunshine: Spin Jump to Hover/dive
Galaxy: Crouch jump to waggle (then jump off a wall and waggle again)
Odyssey: Ground pound jump cap dive cap dive

Fucking hell every time I see how the wallkicks work in Odyssey it just makes me sad, not to mention the fact that the cap dive jumps are all infinitely better than the long jump to the point that there's no reason to ever do it

Defeating enemies by landing on them after a jump.

Lol I found that too as a little kid. You could jump on stuff and use telekinesis on it to levitate around like Squadala.

On command urination.

mario has a fucking feather you can bypass entire maps with

the cap dive trick being the only trick worth using in 90% of Odyssey's platforming is what made me not like it.

Pogo-ing
Surfing
Crouch Jump

grappling hook type abilities are always fun to use and master

Orgasm meter

Sliding that conserves your momentum into jumps like Titanfall and Warframe

Jetpack + ski

Half double jumping

This. Most mario games are practically tech demos designed to show off hardware, with very little care put into the depth of the gameplay or overall polish.

mario 64-like long jump

Shooting while sprinting.

>No breath of the wild type zelda but with way more verticality and it's a series of large scale interconnected levels rather than full on open world and you get a grappling hook that lets you retain momentum after being pulled to swing yourself around.

How is making something infinitely more complex a crutch? There are game examples out there where double jumping is far more complex than a single jump can ever get and far more difficult. Get out there and play some games user.

i've been playing for like a week now and this frustrates me to watch

perfect parry is cooler than jumping

I don't get the arrows. What does that have to do with double jump?

a double jump is a singular jump

You go to two extremes
Either platformers that are built around a general lack of mobility and task you to make full knowledge of the limits of yourself, and often are more combat focused. These end up more on the lines of say, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, the Prinny games, and to an extent things like original Kid Icarus or La Mulana. The "challenge to beat, delight to replay" idea.
Or the opposite where it's about innate speed, sometimes a progressive and absurd amount of air options, and learning how to master use and abuse of the land to do shit as fast as possible. Metroidvanias kind of count on the bigger scale of decking yourself out and the optimization, but GOOD 2D sonic is kind of the face of the concept.

Charlotte broom double-jump is cute.

Chelsea from Bunny Must Die/Cheldea & The Seven Devils
Namely because said double jump then turns into a glide because she magics a shit ton of air into her ridiculous poofy hat.

Was there a game that mainstreamed/popularized the concept of the second jump involving a flip? I'm sure it's just 'rule of cool' nonsense but still.

Ape Escape is the first that comes to mind.

Not the player, but you can attach two things together and then it has full blown rope physics with weight, inertia, swinging and fun glitches.

There was another ps2 game exactly like psi-ops developed around the same time, you could use guns, control things with your mind etc, and it begins in the hospital.

What was his name again?

Dishonored had a great mind control mechanic.

Nah, he's black.
