Mobility

Yeah, but it's easier with FJ because you're actually off the ground while the animation's going, and you just have to tap jump when you hit the ground. With Combat Step, you're in the skill animation for a fraction of a second, then you start sliding, and you need to hit jump at the instant you start sliding to get maximum speed.


If you Combat Step off an object, you can tap jump right when you land and it works the same way, but it's a lot easier to time. Also tends to let you go faster.

Off a ledge or whatever works best because Combat Step gives you horizontal movement speed. The reason it's so slow is because friction stops you from moving the same distance as you would off an edge, hence why you also cover so little distance going up a slope. This is why you go so damn far in El Nath. With the Combat Jump method, you could cover the entire main town in Nath possibly just as fast as I can cover FM7's floor. (Well, maybe not that fast, but damn son. Ain't gonna lose to any Flash Jump.)
