Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Tripping

The Mario on the far right can be seen Prat Falling.

Prat Falling (also called "tripping") 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. 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 Brawls.


Causes for Prat Falling

  • Surface with a lack of traction or using a character with low traction, such as Luigi. (Particularly when quickly changing directions)
  • Constant dashing in a short time period.
  • High percentage.
  • Getting hit with certain attacks. (Most Down tilts and other low attacks can trip opponents)
  • Being hit with/stepping on a Banana Peel.
  • Smashing the stick left or right.
  • When Tingle rains down banana peels (note these are 2D sprites, not actual Banana Peels) it causes constant Prat Falls to all opponents until he leaves the screen.
  • Negative Zone
  • Falco's Reflector
