Headhitters. Like, actually. Trust me. They’re called that in minecraft and roblox so we might as well just standardize this.

They’re definitely not wedge jumps.

actually I remember them being called wedge jumps, Headhitters is when you jump from one block to the next while (or dodging) a block above your head.

Thats what I thought too but then what are these:

No it’s because you wedge yourself into the gap, its the word type (phrase technically)

i know i was factually inaccurate in the previous comment because there are multiple definitions of wedges but trust they’re called wedge jumps

okay theres probably multiple names for those jumps depending on what game you play but im a jtoh nerd so its headhitter and it makes MORE sense because if you do it wrong you’ll hit your head and stuff

calling it a wedge jump is silly because what if you have an actual wedge in your game and you jump from two wedges

however theres no such thing as a “headhitter” in real life so its a cool name

Point is: theres no source yall have shown that calls them wedge jumps? I’ve never seen anyone call them wedge jumps either, so its probably NOT the name? (I play a lot of platformers)

True, I have heard a lot of names for this type of just jump. Just never heard of wedge jumps.

no because it is not a jump where you jump around and then into another gap you cant fit in, you stand on the edge and:

wedge yourself in

I feel like there are many names and you can call it what you want, as it doesn’t matter that much I mean they cant argue with you when you publish how would they complain?
