What's bad about a double jump? Someone care to fill me in?

Idk what he said but I think it is in platformers anyway. You could have some cool interesting shit to help aim/orientate yourself like junio sonic in SRB2 where you stop in mid air and shoot yourself in any direction but the lazy fuck way to help the player is double jumping.

even somecallmejohnny more interesting then him

he's literally never said that

to elaborate: he's said he feels like it can encourage lazy level design which is absolutely true

Are there any games like Mario that do the double jump only once you hit the floor? Apart from DMC I've always hated when characters can just magic jump in mid air. Floating makes a bit more sense ala Ratchet and Clank but it also doesn't feel as good as a true double jump.

>Was he right? Is double jumping truly a bad game mechanic?

No. However, I could understand the issue and argument if double-jumping is used in a particular way that can break the natural progression of game-play that utilizes that mechanic.

double jumping can definitely make the game much easier

i don't like this guy or his videos.

Why?

Probably because the user hates people who like video games.

"midair jump" is probably a better term for what you're describing. Mario-style gaining height from successive jumps is a better system.

if a game doesn't have double jump i don't play it

why not? he's chill and talks about games that no one else will

however I will admit that he's got zero charisma and I mostly just use his vids as background noise.

There’s something weird about him that I can’t put my finger on.

Double jumping isn't inherently bad, but it absolutely depends on the game's design. It can definitely cheapen platforming somewhat but it's kind of whatever when it comes to say, a character in an action game with more air control or if you find a mobility powerup in some exploration game.

>he's got zero charisma
nah he's quite charming that's literally why most people watch him

shit's boring.

Yeah. It never really adds anything to a 3D platformer.

He's cute. That's his charisma.

I think the current trend of disguising e celebrity threads as videogame threads should continue.

That being being said I think Nitro is aight. I havent watched everything but not bad.

Depends on the genre. For pure platformers, probably, since it's a crutch that drops the skill ceiling like a brick unless you make levels obnoxious to compensate.

For non-pure platformers, where platforming is just a side activity to action, stealth or shooting, then it's just a mobility tool that serves as a nice accessory to core gameplay.
Arguably collectathons count as non-pure platformers too, since platforming challenges are just a means to an end of exploration and players would be just as satisfied with a regular environment to fuck around in.

he's balding brother soon the cuteness will dissipate

This guys a pussy faggot

I dont know much about this dude but he looks like an adult version of Dave Strider which makes him okay in my book.

it is the most basic and assumptive power in a sidescrolling platformer

i dont think it is better, you need a run way to pull off the third jump

Nitrochad is based one of the few reviewers i still watch. Framerater is also based.

Ok, thanks for autistically clarifying. They're both fall under the umbrella of double jump though. Now answer my question please.
Do you know of any games that do double jump similarly to Mario? I ask because I agree that that is the best way to do it.

I want to argue semantics with you for an hour or so, that is not a double jump, and midair jump is extra af

It all depends on how the game is built. Double Jumps are simply a form of course correction is all. They don’t inherently make the platforming better or worse

Lol he's the guy that had a cameo in the game Heartbeat, he was happy about the cameo, tweeted about it and reviewed the game.
Then he found out about the devs being transphobes and he removed the tweet and took down the review.

it covers up shitty controls and level design

>I don't play mario
cool shit taste bro

Did you play A Hat in Time? Do you remember a single jump that didn't require double jump? If so, then why bother with double jumps?

Who the fuck is this and why does he look like a Calart drawing?

wasn't it the lead devs girlfriend? who wasn't even on the team.

the best part is that the devs were lesbians

What. Sounds like something a Zig Forumsmblr would do.

with social justice, you lose

His main criticism of double jumps is that they trivialize the platforming and that all of the best platformers do with only one jump and I completely agree with him. Mario, Sonic, and Wario all do their thing with one jump and in most cases they have different maneuvers to perform to get to other areas. The limitation of one jump for a character comes with better designed levels and better feeling controls since double jumps just don't feel natural IMO.

Five Australian dollars on this guy being exposed as a sexual predator online like most male feminists.

Yeah because you don’t have any interest in video games you just chose it as a hobby because you didn’t want to get into weightlifting because you might start to question your sexuality.

am i supposed to know who this is

Yes. Starts with N and ends with R

He made a video defending Canadian cartoons yet half the cartoons he listed are french, American and British.
