He probably has incredible hip strength and since he has a low bodyweight, calf strength is not an issue for him => he can use a ton of speed in the plant.

Double leg jumps look great. Man you really went ATG on that standing VJ attempt... :ninja:

In the one leg jump you pre-program yourself to push with the jumping leg... you come in with a bent leg and "push yourself up" instead of using it as a lever but... I mean, your form looks more like you're going to attempt a one-leg bound forward than actually going up.

I would suck at full squatting as well if I was using such a narrow stance... especially with my feet facing straight forward instead of externally rotated about 20-30 degrees.

Do you go full full or full not so full? :P

For example, when I mean full squat I don't mean super-duper ass to under the ground kind of ATG, but below parallel with good form.

In other words - is it the technique/flexibility or is it the strength (or lackthereof) from that bottom position?

There is none. Your structure doesn't change.

Seated calf raises = soleus being the protagonist of the movement.
Standing calf raises = the calf (gastrocnemius) being the protagonist of the movement. The gastroc is not really active when the knee is bent.

A standing jump starts with speed==0 and thus only has part (b).   

That simply is not true. It would be true for a paused standing VJ. But in a regular one, when you quickly bend down you HAVE to amortizate that as well. So it's not completely 0 speed.
