Inkling Commander
You've probably notice that you can't swim up a wall onto the above platform if the ink doesn't cover all the way up to very top of the wall. Some times even a small space blocks you. However you can jump these spaces if your timing is good, or if you spam x (sometimes, it's not 100% consistent for me). Not all that useful perhaps, mostly a "just in case" kind of thing.
I can't confirm this, but it's possible it may also allow you to shoot someone on the above platform a tiny bit faster. My thought process is that if you jump you and shoot, you would begin transformation before you actually appear on the platform, where as without the ledge hop, you would have to begin transformation when you level out on the platform. Basically since the enemy can't see you until you're farther into the transformation, you're vulnerable for a slightly shorter time.
Another note is that sometimes when I do it it kind of seems like the jump part of the animation is cancelled and I just kind of transform. It's possible I'm just doing it too late though.
