'''Prat Falling''' (also called "tripping") is a new occurence in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It seems to happen when the Control stick is [[Smash]]ed; the character stumbles, falls over, and rolls to get back on their feet. It can also apparently be done out of an idle stance, and can be done while smashing or using a move while running. A related technique is the trip cancel; when turning around, before tripping, an attack can be used to [[cancel]] the trip.<br>
'''Prat Falling''' (also called "tripping", "stumbling", or various other names) is a new occurence in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Whenever the [[Control Stick]] is [[Smash]]ed, there is a very small chance that the character will trip, fall over, and sit down in a prone state. While apparently intended to stop excessive dashing and pivoting, characters can also trip when they intend to use a [[forward smash]] or [[side special move]]. A related technique is the trip cancel; when turning around, before tripping, an attack can be used to [[cancel]] the trip. The game keeps track of the total number of Prat Falls each character or name has experienced in [[Group Brawl]]s.
Tripping is a tentative name; it is also known as "stumbling", "pivoting" or various other names. The game records refer to it as a Prat Fall, and keeps track of the total number of Prat Falls each character or name has experienced in [[Group Brawl]]s.
