My version of this is the dodge roll, I just think they look so dumb. Especially with characters wearing heavy armor or backpacks, or when you have to chain multiple rolls back to back. I just can't help but think of that video of Solaire cosplayer rolling around people at comicon

I much prefer the look of the sidestep from Bloodborne

I mean, isn't this really just dependent on what kind of game you're making?

Well, it wouldn't make any sense in Candy Crush, but otherwise... I can't think of a genre with jumping that couldn't benefit from some kind of double jumping

Here's the counter article, both are pretty fun reads

In real life, when something’s out of reach, you might say, “Oh, I wish I could fly, or were dating someone tall, or had purchased a bigger ladder”-- you don’t say, “I wish I could hop, and then hop again the same distance,” unless you are cursed with a modest imagination or low self-esteem. Want more for yourself than being able to jump twice. You deserve it.

Flawless logic, I’m sold on team anti-double jump.
