'''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 Trophy|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''' ({{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.

*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]. | *Tripping was first discovered during the ''Brawl'' demo at [[E for All]].

*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 [[Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)|Rosalina]] do not follow this rule. Similarly, [[Toon Link]] is the only ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' character to make the "cartoony" noise, but this is justified because of his being based on the cartoonish ''Wind Waker'' aesthetics rather than the more realistic ones used by the other characters. Additionally, [[Mii Brawler (SSB4)|Mii Brawler]]s use the "cartoon" tripping sound effect, while [[Mii Gunner (SSB4)|Mii Gunner]]s and [[Mii Swordfighter (SSB4)|Mii Swordfighter]]s use the "realistic" noise. | *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 [[Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)|Rosalina]] do not follow this rule.
