The “double jump” fires at the ground, not in the air

Players noticed that Kliff’s double jump sometimes works and sometimes does not. On Reddit the descriptions were compared. The English text says to press jump twice in the air. The Spanish text says to press almost at the moment of touching the ground, and then Kliff pushes off again.

The mechanic is closer to a bounce than to a familiar second jump in flight. Because of the name, people spent dozens of hours pressing the button “like in other games” and thought the skill was broken.

The note does not say which language Pearl Abyss treats as canon. It records a mismatch between localizations.
