A trickjump refers to a difficult sequence of moves used to reach one platform or ledge from another without touching the ground in between, and often without relying on external objects. Certain trickjumps have applications for speedrunning, Low%, or other objectives, while others serve no larger purpose and are purely done as isolated challenges.
Classifications
While there are a large variety of trickjumps and many of them blur the lines between categories, trickjumpers often distinguish between loose categories of trickjumps.
Vertical trickjumps
Vertical trickjumps involve climbing a very tall ledge all in one sequence of moves. The optimal sequence of moves generally consists of starting with a triple jump, cap throwing and diving into a cap bounce, cap throwing again to stall against the wall, wall jumping, and then finally cap throwing and diving onto the top. For very precise vertical trickjumps, it is often advantageous to perform a down-oriented motion throw against the wall, since these curve very slightly upward and then back downward during their trajectory, which the wall can intercept at its highest point.
