Vibrate the stick right after you press the jump button or before?
or dont vibrate it since it doesnt help at all?
ive done 2 successful jumps running right up to the bar and pushing jump when you pass the i in konami
when i get to the top of my jump and my legs go up i hold the jump button down and press right
i dont get much height this way though...
does vibrating (aka running) help?!

you can waggle/hit the power buttons all you want as you're *running* towards the to the bar, but it isn't going to make any difference to your actual running speed.

however, as soon as you jump your power will start to diminish, so for that reason, i recommend starting to waggle/hit the power buttons just before you jump - and as the height of the bar increases you will have to keep waggling/hitting the power buttons all the time you're rising up in the air.

the key is learning what the action button does whilst in the air. holding it down is wrong. every few frames, whilst held down your direction of travel will change from near vertical-upwards to forward-horizontal, so if you just hold it down you'll crash, rightwards into the bar.

you can clear the first few heights without any need for hitting the power buttons. just press the action button *very quickly* to start the jump and you'll travel almost vertically upwards. as you gain height start tapping the action button again *very quickly* and slowly change your angle of travel so you arc over the bar.

the key to 2.40+ jumps is a near vertical take off, very close to the bar, with lots of frantic waggling/power button presses to gain extra height, then very fine control of the angle of travel to scrape your bottom over the bar.

Thank you so very much for the info!  After reading this I was able to get this jump very easily in about 10 minutes or so!

I remember having the WR in the High Jump at the arcade when this game was out. I was still in High School. lol!! That was back in 1983 when the game was first released. The Long Jump was also one of my special events. I wonder if my SF4 Arcade Stick will wotk with this game? I can't see how anyone can play this with a regular XBox 360 controller. Really tough, I would think.
