coyote time is so fun, and its honestly hilarious that its named after looney toons
@a_man_with_the_sauce
And then celeste speedrunners went "it's free real-estate" and styled on that damn mountain
@hrothgardevaitos8330
Now I'm going to add a powerup to my game that's called "Coyote's Boots." They increase the amount of coyote time you get.
@paulsd9255
I’ve seen rhythm gamers use this term to refer to the ‘fret forgiveness’ (as epic Games called it) where you could strum early and still press a fret button to be registered as a correct strum
@spicyman6006
This is named after a real world Phenomenon where Coyotes have shown the ability to jump what appears to be just after they've run off a ledge. However, this effect is null as soon as they look down
@csgphoenix8282
I like how these tricks that make the game feel better to play are basically ways to secretly make the player seem more skilled than they actually are.
@disappointedcreeper
and jump queing really helps as well, where you allow a jump input from before landing to be processed
@sepiasmith5065
at first i was like "coyote time? huh what a weird name" and then as soon as you said "let me crank it up to a full second" and i pictured in my head what i was about to see.... i got it. i love it!
@JamAttack
Think of it this way: if you were to jump off a platform irl, you'd have a tiny bit of extra time to kick off the corner
@miguelangelcote9168
So all this time platformers were not screwing me over but helping and i'm actually worse than I thought I was. Great
@hamsterdoom360
I can't imagine what wily character this feature could possibly be named after.
@Kafj302
imagine having it be almost infinite, as soon as you press down, you fall, fast.
@THEMrFill
That's one thing they "forgot" in the Crash Bandicoot remakes, 1 & 2 originally had Coyote Time and 3 didn't, but they used the same engine for all 3, so none got it, making the games MUCH harder than they originally were!
@cinnamoone3553
this combined with input buffering really makes the platformer world go round.
@Goneth
I recall first hearing this from dead cells developers, also the first time experiencing it in a game too. I felt like i was able to jump around the map so much easier
@darkychao
a mechanic similar to that super-long coyote time was used in the Donkey Kong Country series, where you can jump out of a roll whether or not you're on the ground. presumably, this was originally to let players recover from a somewhat easy-to-make mistake, but in the final game there are a few points where the technique is required for some collectables.
@a.m.t.lambert1206
I love it when there's an actual explanation for coyote time, like wonder's jet run (badge magic) or a special item.
@Vitjarron
I also like to add in 3D games a trigger for falling too long. The character should never glitch through the map, but I like that the game is still prepared for it.
@DerfGameDev
This combined with jump buffering feels perfect in platformers
