Throwing star mechanic question

Does throwing stars while jumping make you throw stars faster than when you are just standing and throwing?
I would assume you would throw faster by just standing and i would assume you would lose ticks from jumping and throwing but my friend says he's heard from somewhere that if you throw stars and jump you throw more stars faster.

Secret huh?
I can't figure out how he got the 4 stars to go right after the final one in the air. That's probably the 'secret'. It won't let me use the skill again until I hit the ground

Edit: Oh wow I just figured it out... That is some sneaky stuff right there[/quote]

how do u do it? i cant figure it out *-*

Just tested it on a nw, it's almost the same attack speed assuming you don't mess up while jumping and you have a basic fast claw with booster.
Edit: @InQbus Your edit oddly got me motivated to figure it out.
The method works by canceling the animation of the 5th star. I had to button mash to figure it out. >.<

It is , but it's a secret on how it actually is pulled off.

In addition you're more mobile if you're jumping. You can turn around in the air before the animation stops as opposed to waiting for the animation on the ground.

For NW if you jump att, you can increase your att speed by 1.5x, only if you do it right.[/quote]

those milliseconds you spend jumping... cancel it out if it did happen.

No, but it sure as hell makes you look cooler.
