Flip Jump

Flip Jump (フリップジャンプ, Furippu Janpu) is 's down special move. Samus flashes as she does a flip and an arching jump through the air. This provides some horizontal and vertical recovery distance. It functions as Zero Suit Samus's third jump, but does not put her into the helpless state, allowing her to use her tether recoveries. During this move's duration, Zero Suit Samus gains the ability to do a special follow-up move where she extends her legs out diagonally. This is a meteor smash when hits in the initial frames, and can be used to catch bad edgeguarders off-guard, or even edgeguard a telegraphed recovery.
