Prat Falling is a new occurence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It seems to happen when the C-stick is Smashed; 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.
