Help a new player they said, it will be fun they said!

Panos, I have to say, I always jump like a mad bunny in duels, often even on battle, and it saves my life and gives me victory more often than it kills me 

I do that too, but for me it's more like 50/50 in save/die, but I still can't live without the jump

I use jumping at duels aswell, especially against kick spammers, but I highly doubt saying to a new guy "Hey dude, I know that you only play the mode for like 10 days~, I know that you cant block jack shit, but keep jumping bro, you are in the right way!" will help him.

Jumping in duels? sounds so two handerish

I tried to help a newbie once , he turned out to be gen 12... Felt like a noob afterwards...

Jump is useful in specific situations. Especially the whirling head slash right after your opponent has missed a swing.

And the most important of them all: It looks cool!

I don't think the vertical speed component adds to speed bonus.

It really doesn't, sadly. Used to fall from castle walls stabbing with corseque random enemy heads, and they insisted on surviving.

I always jump in duels, but that's just because I keep missing my 'V' key.

1v1 jumping is as risky as kicking: you can surprise the enemy, but if you don't catch them you're vulnerable long enough to be counterattacked.

In battle/siege/strat, jumping to land an attack is more effective. The enemy's focus is split, and a surprise maneuver such as jumping will catch them off guard frequently.

I heard the greeks were good at that.
