Values
| Value | Frames @60 | ms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum jump (tap) | 6 | 100 | A very brief press acts as if held for 0.1 s. |
| Jump release | — | — | Releasing jump sets vertical speed to zero: an instant vertical brake. |
| Takeoff velocity / gravity | — | — | 21 u/s takeoff, independent of run speed; gravity 41 u/s² (the paper's measurement units). |
| Air control | — | — | Air acceleration and max speed match the ground values. No jump buffer: jumps pressed during a jump are ignored. |
How this was measured
Measured with a memory inspector and scripted inputs in a peer-reviewed DiGRA 2016 paper (Fasterholdt, Pichlmair & Holmgård), which builds on M. Olney's 2013 physics model.
