From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Prat Falling is a new technique in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It seems to occur when a character is dashing in one direction, then suddenly tries to move in the other (or poorly times a dashdance); 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.
Tripping is a tentative name; it is also known as "stumbling", "pivoting" or various other names. Since it is unconfirmed, a Smash Bros. DOJO!! update concerning it may be posted, giving it an official name. 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.
Causes for Tripping
- Surface with a lack of traction
- Constant dashing in a short time period
- High damage
- Getting hit with certain attacks
