A running jump from the hub, peeked on the oracle (LEFT held, Cross at VSync 2740, y and the table state 0x800e2bf0 each game frame):

• Run (3, 4): 769, 780, 751.
• State 41, entered on the press with no crouch: 731, one frame in place. Then off: 585, 461, 359, 279, 221, 185, 170, 177. The steps are -146, -124, -102, -80, -58, -36, -15, +7, the standing jump's arc. 0x80060f1c gives Tommy's moving jump -1000 up, as the standing one.
• Landing (state 8): 809, 886, 912, 923, 923, 923, 901. Then state 0, 886, and the run again. x and z are held through the landing, the stick held all the while.

The land state's handler (0x8005cba8) does not move the body. It only does level 11's 505 touch and Reptar's rumble. A landing plays out whatever the stick does.

The port:

• Takeoff. The moving jump now waits one frame in state 41, as the oracle's 731, before it is off. Its keys stop at the takeoff, so the first step is -146 and not -176.
• Air. Root y seen in the air does not carry on to the ground. The air state's leftover keys put the body 228 up as it landed.
• Landing. It stays in State::Land until the land animation ends, whatever the speed, and does not move.

Port against oracle: the eight steps match exactly. The landing goes 842, 886, 912, 923, 922, 908, then the run. The oracle's held 923 one frame more here.

Test: a_running_jump_moves_as_the_original holds the eight steps exactly, and six frames of landing.
