Charge-Hop
Description
By holding jump for 20 frames when crouching, slugcat's back arches and horizontal inputs are restricted until the jump button is released. Slugcat will then leap forward with a longer arc than a normal jump, allowing it to cross further gaps.
Notes
This move does not use a fixed arc, so holding forward from the very start of the hop is important for maximising distance travelled. The forward button can be safely held as soon as slugcat's back arches, as the game will only receive the input once jump is released.
Like all hoptype moves, it is possible to input up to orient slugcat into the standing state midair. This allows for a ledgepullup or polebounce, helping with certain long jumps.
