Mercy superjump on console

General Discussion

I hear a lot about how Mercy’s superjump is really simple to do and easy to get the hang of on PC, but on console it’s nigh impossible to find a comfortable and convenient button layout for the combo.

I have my jump mapped to L2 (the shoulder button for PS4), and Guardian Angel is mapped to L1. I’ve tried putting crouch in several different places in pursuit of being able to do the superjump properly. But the only buttons left are either:

  • the circle button, which requires me to stop looking around and stop aiming to use (since the thumb is used both for looking around and for the face buttons)

  • the L3 or R3 buttons (basically clicking the sticks) which is hard on my hands when trying to click them at the exact same time as the shoulder button for Guardian Angel.
    It’s physically uncomfortable to preform and the difference in button inputs (clicking a stick vs pressing a shoulder button) makes it extremely difficult to achieve the frame-perfect synchronization that the superjump requires (especially since the thumbsick extenders I use to avoid hand cramping over long play sessions makes it harder to click the stick).

Please, please make the superjump official so I don’t have to murder my hands in order to use it. E.g, “Using GA at any time while crouched makes Mercy fly low to the ground (prepping her for a superjump)”.

I personally don’t have any problems pulling off the super jump with crouch on circle and jump and GA on L1/L2. To your point about using circle it is inconvenient to have to stop aiming or looking around to crouch, but with the crouched GA you’ll fly lower to the ground and slightly faster so it’s a pretty short time your thumb is off the right stick.

Are you having trouble pulling off the super jump or just find it kind of awkward to do with the button layouts?
