Make Jump Attacking Easier

As long as NL's aren't jump attacking on stationary boss's.

-rages in wasted dpm-

 

Skill issue, get good.

 

Oml we need some new content these suggestions are getting to the point we're gonna start talking about the efficacy of which side of the map has the least pixels so you can get the most dmg per cm.
Y'all terrify me you need something new to do.

 

sticky key jumping is jank. do mac users have access to anything similar? also it doesn't really work for me since I "upgraded" to windows 11, but maybe I can fix it by messing with my settings. If there was accessibility to the tech I could see no reason for a change like this. If there are people who have no access to sticky key jumping or similar tech then I think a change like this could be very helpful. Either way it's not necessary if you play casually, I just do it because it's satisfying.

 

not to be arrogant or anything like that, but define how it would be easier?

 

like give the player some frames after they leave the ground where grounded skills can still be inputted or something idk.

 

I still can’t tell if this thread is about jump attacking or jump casting.

 

too hard to time triple throw midair on NL. I keep falling to the ground before I can reach my TT button

 

(I dont have a NL this is a shitpost)

 

Yeah I don’t really understand. Jump attacking isn’t difficult, I don’t think it needs changes at all? But everyone is replying to this thread referencing jump attacking.

I wouldn’t mind changes to jump casting as it’s incredibly keyboard dependent which feels a bit unfair, but idk if that’s even possible from ML’s side.

 

a long time ago I went and bought a new keyboard because my old membrane one wouldn't let me hold the right arrow key at the same time as the up arrow key to grab ropes... Keyboard superiority is real and relevant.

 

Figured this was the case honestly just based on the description of the original post, but most of the discussion was on jump attacking. If possible from a back end PoV I think making jump casting easier isn't a bad thing, but I'd imagine it's probably kind of janky to begin with since it's sort of a bug, and also a niche skill so low priority for staff to address.

 

In what way is jumpcasting keyboard dependent?

 

Honestly I’m not sure. Probably something to do with input rate. All I know is I can jump cast with 90%+ consistency on my laptop, but can barely get 10% consistency on my desktop keyboard.

I’ve heard similar stories from other players having better success on different keyboards.

 

Hmm, could be a difference where most laptop keyboards connect internally via PS2. PS2 utilizes hardware interrupt compared to USB keyboards which utilizes USB polling rates. I've only used external USB keyboards and tried both mechanical and membrane with 95% ish consistency. Might have to dig up a PS2 keyboard to see if there is any difference

 

I’ve heard some players having more success with externals vs integrated honestly. I’m not sure exactly what it is but some keyboards just seem better than others.

 

Sounds a bit like copium to me, you can use this tool and check for keypresses and compare succesful to unsuccesful Jumpcasts. https://github.com/mat1jaczyyy/Keyboard-Inspector/releases/tag/0.4.0

If staff allows I'll try to figure out the span of values for Jumpcasts by scripting.
