Just a simple question and poll.

Do you use superjump a lot and if you do what characters do you use it with and why do you super jump? For positioning, for more priority on your attacks, to evade ground attacks easier, all of the above etc etc
 
I feel like Fukua is in a real bad situation of some one is above her, which is why i tend to want to superjump. I feel like her aerials are better suited for those below her, and the nice thing is is that even if they block you can make it safe if you can chain into J.HK

I don't do it a whole lot, but sometimes I'll do a superjump at the start of the match when I feel that just jumping in isn't going to end well for me. Otherwise, I do most of my superjumps with Squigly.

I superjump a lot to turtle, or get above the opponent with Val to throw an L Shuriken on them for plus frames. With other characters I do it to get that extra slight bit of height to win air footsies.

I superjump a lot when I'm halfscreen. My footsies are horrible and sometimes I JUST CAN'T DEAL, I NEED JUST ONE MORE SUPERJUMP.

I super jump backwards defensively.
Or straight upwards to fall into a high priority large hit box normal.

Anything else and you're probably on the offensive or looking to get a fast poke in while keeping pressure so you should be dash jumping. (That's really biased actually I play Parasoul. If you're a flight character like Valentine then that's not true.)

Also "I only super jump in combos" is kind of a strange to me because most combos really don't use them besides maybe Peacock or maybe Double? I could be very wrong about that though.
All jumps become super jumps after launchers.

That was kinda the point, I think.
If he had put "I don't super jump at all", some people would say "I super jump all the time, after s.HP!! ehehe"

I don't SJ nearly enough particularly on offence, which makes my overall movement kinda shit and easy to read. Need to fix, but I always forget it's a thing.

Holy shit EU has s.HP SJ cancelable launcher tech?
:^)
 
i'll super jump whenever i feel like.

Fukua? SJ full screen fireball?

Oh it whiffed and the opponent is under me? Get j hk!

super jump as filia to get over most assist that peacock uses and use j hp and then dash j hp to push them in corner.

Parasoul SJ j hk into air grab. no one expects this shit.

fortune i will super jump because i'm higher than you.
these are examples but i SJ when i'm on the offensive. i try not to SJ defensively because i want someone to overshoot for an air grab and whiff so that i can grab them on the ground

Because of my King of Fighters habits (hyper hopping), tend to superjump frequently but half of the time by accident. Normally depends on the situations for me to actually super jump. Certain combos with Double, dealing with Peacock/Big Band/Hornet Bomber, air vs air, and other reasons.

I superjump whenever I want to be above my opponent.

Which is literally all the time.

I guess its easier for Solo players since you don't have to worry about the main drawback of super-jumps, not being able to call assists.
 
I only super jump when I getting my ass kicked.
So all the time basically

I mostly sj every now and then to mix things up at neutral. Trying to vary the way I approach a bit.

That is a good question, I've been wondering about it already but I don't pay attention at all while playing.
I guess I do superjumps occasionally during neutral game, mostly against a zoner.
