Meh.. well i'm posting this for afew reasons..
1. I'm very very bored
2. I think it'd help if we had some common names for jumps like the infamous S jump
[attachment=2417:attachment]
First jump i'll mention is what i like to call the C jump obviously because of the shape it takes. You start on the middle blue/red pad and jump to the Guarded pad behind you of the opposing colour. I know you all know these jumps so i'm not introducing anything new - just putting names to them:P

Next jump is the n jump - named so because i couldn't think of anything better. This entales you to jump from 1 arrow to the other arrow on the same pad with an arc'ing motion. could have called it arc jump but nevermind.:D

The S jump - everyone knows it and everyone recognizes the name. This jump is mostly for purposes of confusing your opponent and switching your landing position to the other side that they expect - it's more difficult than the advantage it gives so most people generally don't use it in battle.

U turn - name kinda explains it all really. You jump off from an arrow and simply bring the jump round to land back on same arrow. Note :: NOT STALLING. Stalling is a vertical bounce on the same arrow - this requires you to move in a circular fashion.

Lastly i'll introduce Skimming to some of you. I believe this is an Ishboo original but it's not Widely known. The jump requires you to make a jump and just clip one of the platforms for a short enough time to keep your horizontal motion and reduce your vertical motion (ie to temporarily stop you falling) and with the horizontal motion you've carried you make it to a different nearby platform.
My paint skills are uber 1337 as you can see but i hope the diagrams are clear enough for you.
Yes.. i'm still bored.. Damn.
