Hi all! Khawarijs have Super-Jump (3"). The effect of the 3" is described: > When Jumping, the Trooper can add this distance to their Jump, instead of the usual 2 inches of the Jump Skill. (https://infinitythewiki.com/Super-Jump) But what is added to the Long Skill? > If the user declares Jump as a Long Skill, they can Jump up to their first MOV value plus 4 inches, instead of the usual 2 inches of the Jump Skill. (https://infinitythewiki.com/Super-Jump) From the rules it would be still just 4", I assume. Or would it be 6", assuming they can also jump farther when using a Long Skill, and there is an implicit "double what is added" rule?
To add a question to this exact topic. Shikami also has (+3) to Superjump. If Superjump treats jumping as a short skill and I have a 6” move for my first move value, am I jumping 9” for a short skill then? Played a game yesterday with someone and they thought that I was doing that incorrectly.
You are playing it correctly. 6" + 3" = 9". If they just have base super-jump it would be 6" + 2" = 8".
Correct. Shikami are fast! With of course that downside being that while you are using Super-Jump, you get No Partial Cover. It's at least mitigated by the mim-6 but I wouldn't use it if I don't need to.
I'm now adding a question about how high a super jumper goes. I had a Feiquan super-jump 11 inches. 8"+3". The question is how high he goes because It allowed me to see a missile bot on top of a building. Do I also go as high as 11 inches? 8? Must I go that high? Do I follow the line? If so how the hell are we supposed to measure that? With measuring tape and four arms?
The whole jump, up and down, is 11". To measure that, you can have a 11" bit of string or use a soft tape measure that is usually utilize for dressmaking. Edit: If you just want to have a pop up attack, if you use Super-Jump (Jet propulsion), go up 5.5 inches and 5.5 down. For Regular Superjump, as it must be a parabolic, you are safer going 5 inches up, 1 inch over, 5 inches down.
Thanks. As if we don't have enough tools already to play this game. They really need to simplify this.
The parabola is no longer a requirement. I think that was an N4 thing. Jump movement currently can be straight horizontal, vertical, OR parabolic. So for the Feiquan it can superjump up and down 5.5" and shoot.
The latest FAQ allows vaulting. Furthermore, it's virtually impossible to perform an actual, physically accurate parabolic measurement. Using a tape measure also causes unfairness due to tool variations. Instead, a simple two-stage measurement is recommended: 1. First measurement: Move upward or horizontally. 2. Second measurement: Move downward or horizontally. Past discussion links on Discord https://discord.com/channels/118301609146056709/617207022965882913/1505851124802912388
So basically units with Superjump can move in any direction in a horizontal movement without moving over a structure that’s taller than the model? Example: Shikami moves 9” past an 8” long wall that is 2” tall, from one corner to the opposite corner, without passing over the 2” height?
Afaik no. You need to take the vertical height into account. He could get to the top of the wall but not over it. You almost need to use a flexible 9" tape measure to do it.
More like this. This is why it's good to have a flexible tape measure and 3 hands. In the first one, you can make it to the top but you can't fall down. The down counts as well as the up. So a 9" jump would mean 4" up, 1" over, 4" down for a total of 9". Or up 8" and over 1" to get to the top of the wall. Would need to then use another order to jump down.
