'''Tripping''' ({{ja|転倒|Tentō}}, ''Falling Down''; officially called '''prat falling''' and referred to in game files as '''slipping''') is a gameplay mechanic introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in which a fighter trips, falls over, and sits in a prone state with a confused expression. Certain attacks can cause opponents to trip, and some [[item]]s (including [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon and [[Assist Trophies]]) will cause tripping without directly attacking at all. Most attacks have a chance to trip provided the [[knockback]] dealt does not lift the target off the ground, while a few attacks are [[slip|guaranteed to trip opponents]].
'''Tripping''' (officially called '''prat falling'''; referred to in game files as '''slipping''') is a gameplay mechanic introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in which a fighter trips, falls over, and sits in a prone state with a confused expression. Whenever a character begins to [[dash]] or, while running, turn, or performs any button input that involves [[tap|tapping]] the [[control stick]] (most notably those of a [[forward smash]] or [[side special move]]), there is a 1% chance that they will trip; certain attacks and [[item]]s will also cause tripping. ''Brawl'' keeps track of the total number of Prat Falls each character or name has experienced in [[Group Brawl]]s.

In ''Brawl'' only, when the [[control stick]] is [[tap]]ped so that the character performs a [[dash]], there exists a 1% chance that the character will trip. In addition, if the character attempts to perform a turnaround during their run, there is a 1.25% chance that they will trip. ''Brawl'' keeps track of the total number of Prat Falls each character or [[name]] has experienced in [[Group Brawl]]s.
The sound effect for tripping changes depending on whether the character tripping is from a 'cartoonish' or 'realistic' game/series. In general, characters from more serious or 'realistic' franchises make a light, quick whoosh sound, followed by an unimpressive falling-down noise, while more cartoonish characters (that is, most of the cast) make a swabbing noise like a sliding mop before landing with a distinctive timpani noise.

The sound effect for tripping changes depending on whether the character tripping is from a "cartoony" or "realistic" series. In general, characters from more serious or "realistic" franchises make a light, quick whooshing sound, followed by an unimpressive falling-down noise, while more cartoonish characters make a swabbing noise, like a sliding mop, before landing with a distinctive timpani noise. This sound effect is significantly louder in ''SSB4'' than in ''Brawl''.
When sitting down, a character has the same [[Floor Recovery|options]] as when lying down; however, a tripped character is more vulnerable. Unlike prone fighters, sitting fighters can be [[grab|grabbed]]; attacks from a sitting position are weaker than from a lying down position, usually dealing 5% as opposed to 6%, lacking [[transcendent priority]], and possessing only 8 [[invincibility|safe]] [[frame|frames]] (attacking while lying down usually keeps the character safe until the attack's hitboxes end); and rolls and stand ups are generally subpar to their lying down counterparts, possessing fewer invincibility frames yet comparably long animations.


When sitting down, a character has the same [[floor recovery|options]] as when lying down; however, a tripped character is more vulnerable. Unlike prone or supine fighters, sitting fighters can be [[grab]]bed; getup attacks from a sitting position are weaker than from a lying down position, usually dealing 5% as opposed to 6%, lacking [[transcendent priority]], and possessing only 8 [[intangibility|intangible]] [[frame]]s (getup attacks are usually intangible until the attack's hitboxes end); and rolls and stand-ups are generally subpar to their lying down counterparts, possessing fewer invincibility frames while still retaining their long animations.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', random tripping no longer occurs, and only certain [[hitbox|hitboxes]] will cause tripping. Banana peels may also cause tripping.

==Causes of tripping==
{{clear}}
[[File:Brawl-Tripping.gif|thumb|200px|[[Dash-dancing]] is based on the initial dash animation, so tripping can occur during dash-dancing.]]
==Causes of tripping in ''[[Brawl]]''==
*In ''Brawl'', whenever the [[control stick]] is smashed left or right to input a dash or running-turnaround, there is a 1% / 1.25% chance for the player to trip, respectively. Note that by doing a side-smash or side-special input, they will usually start with some dash frames, so these can also have a 1% chance to trip.
[[File:Brawl-Tripping.gif|thumb|200px|[[Dash-dancing]] is based on the intial dash animation, so tripping can occur during dash-dancing.]]
**There is a 10 second grace period after a random trip where another will not occur.
*Whenever the [[control stick]] is smashed left or right, whether from inputting a dash or an attack, there is a 1% chance for the player to trip.
**[[Terrain]] with low traction, such as ice, increases the chance of tripping. The trip chance is divided by the terrain's traction to get the new trip chance (e.g. 1%/0.2=5% for Ice).
**[[Terrain|Surfaces]] with a lack of traction, namely ice, have a higher likelihood of causing tripping.
*Any attack with more than 55 units of knockback, and an angle that doesn't lift the foe off the ground has a low chance of tripping them. This rate is 13.5% in ''Brawl'', and from version 1.1.4 of ''SSB4'' onward and in ''Ultimate'', it was changed to 7%.
*Certain attacks have chances of tripping the opponent when they hit (several [[down tilt]]s and other weaker attacks that hit low to the ground are designed to trip opponents).
**In addition, some attacks have an additional trip chance. For example, a move with an additional trip chance of 40% has a combined trip chance of 53.5% (''Brawl'', old ''SSB4'') or 47% (current ''SSB4'', ''Ultimate''). Even with less than 55 units of knockback, moves with a bonus trip chance always add the base trip chance.
**If an attack hits a target at a low angle (such as the [[Sakurai angle]]) and the target does not leave the ground from the knockback, there is an additional chance to trip.
*[[Tingle]] from the [[Assist Trophy]] can summon a banana peel effect, causing constant tripping to all opponents until he leaves the screen.
*Being hit by/stepping on a [[Banana Peel]] causes tripping.
*When [[Tingle]] rains down banana peels (note that these are 2D sprites, not actual [[Banana Peel]]s), it causes constant tripping to all opponents until he leaves the screen.
*Luigi's [[Negative Zone]] can cause incessant tripping.
*Luigi's [[Negative Zone]] can cause incessant tripping.
*Certain hazards such as the wall on Port Town Aero Dive can cause tripping.
 
*In ''Ultimate'', the [[Conditions|Earthquake effect]] in [[Spirit Battle]]s causes players to trip constantly unless they have a Falling Immunity spirit effect active.

==List of tripping attacks in ''Brawl''==
Most attacks can only make an opponent trip if the target is not already sitting down and the attack knockback does not knock the target into the air. However, some have the [[slip]] effect and will therefore result in a trip regardless of these circumstances; these are represented in this list with "Slip". [[Copy Abilities]] not mentioned are the same as their originals.

==List of tripping attacks in ''SSB4''==
==List of tripping attacks in ''SSB4''==
As in ''Brawl'', attacks can only trip if they do not knock the target into the air, so most attacks with trip chances will never trip or will only trip at low percents. Some attacks have the "slip" effect and cause soft trips that immobilize for around 30 frames, while attacks with trip chances cause hard trips that immobilize for around 40 frames. Attacks with slip are again noted here with "Slip".

==Controversy==
''Brawl''{{'}}s addition of random tripping was highly controversial. Though sometimes a mere annoyance in a brawl, random tripping has the potential to significantly impact matches. Since tripping leaves the player in a significant state of vulnerability while moving them a small distance forward, it is a common occurrence for players to unintentionally trip into an otherwise avoidable attack; the effects of this can range from minor damage to a premature KO. Tripping also leaves a player in a vulnerable position, akin to a [[tech-chase]] situation. Upon tripping, a player has three main getup options; rolling, standing up, or using a [[getup attack]], and this means that an opponent can more successfully [[read|predict]] the action of the tripped player, often using this to land an easy combo or KO.

Since tripping leaves the player in a significant state of vulnerability while moving them a small distance forward, it is a common occurrence for players to unintentionally trip into an otherwise avoided attack, which can be as minor as a one-hit inconsequential [[punish]] (or, on the part of the tripping fighter, a missed opportunity to punish) or as major as a premature KO and even loss of the match. Though it is rare, random tripping also makes it slightly more difficult to read an opponent; a fighter may [[read]] an opponents action and input a punish, but instead, the opponent trips, keeping them out of the [[reach]] of the attack.

The randomness of ''Brawl''{{'}}s tripping mechanic was generally negatively received, viewed as counterproductive to the idea of a skill-based match with a minimum of disruptive, chance-based elements. Furthermore, unlike some other heavily chance-based elements such as [[stage]] selection or [[item]] availability, random tripping cannot be turned off in ''Brawl''. Owing to its negative reception, gameplay [[mod]]s generally remove random tripping from gameplay.

While random tripping is considered a detriment to tournament play, forced tripping by certain moves is generally better-received, since, unlike random tripping, its deliberate use can be planned for and planned against. As such, while random tripping was removed in ''SSB4'' and remained absent in ''Ultimate'', forced tripping is still important in some characters' metagames in these two games, such as {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} and his banana peels.

==Trivia==
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' features a [[List of bonuses|bonus]] called "Pratfaller". It has no relation to later games' tripping, and is instead awarded to players who always fall face-up after [[tumbling]].
*The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' [[List of bonuses|bonus]], ''Pratfaller'', does not have anything to do with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl's]]'' "prat falling". Instead, it is awarded if a character always lands face up after [[tumble|tumbling]].
*Tripping was first discovered during the ''Brawl'' demo at [[E for All]]. It was not recognized as random at the time, and some players tried to learn how to trigger it at will for use as a technique. For a time, it was known as Ink Dropping, as noted in {{Sm|Gimpyfish}}'s [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=121329 famous SmashBoards thread].

*While characters from the {{uv|Kirby}} and {{uv|Kid Icarus}} universes generally use the "cartoonish" tripping sound, [[Meta Knight]] and [[Palutena]] use the "realistic" sound, even though they have similar aesthetics to the other characters in their respective series; this is presumably due to their being more "serious" and adultlike in terms of personality, although other such characters as [[Mewtwo]] or {{SSB4|Rosalina}} do not follow this rule.

Similarly, [[Toon Link]] is the only ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' character to make the 'cartoonish' noise, but this is justified because of his being based on the cartoonish ''Wind Waker'' aesthetics rather than the more realistic ''Twilight Princess'' ones used by the other characters.
**[[Toon Link]] and [[Young Link]] are the only {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} characters to make the "cartoon" noise.
**{{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s use the "cartoon" tripping sound effect, while {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s use the "realistic" noise.
**{{SSBU|Wolf}} uses the "realistic" tripping sound whereas {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}} use the "cartoony" sound.
**{{SSBU|Sora}} uses the "realistic" tripping sound despite his cartoony proportions.
