Talk:Pratfall

this isnt trip? Well, everybody call this trip 20:27, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

Yes, the more technical term for this is tripping. We need to move this. 22:35, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

Where is the official source for the name? And how is "Tripping" more technical than "Slipping"? --


 * It could technically be both I guess. With the banana peel, it is slipping obviously, but when the charcter falls on their own, I guess that it's tripping.--

Do we even need this article? It's nothing notable, just a feature that would also fit in the game's article as well. We don't have articles for game modes, so why should we have articles for features? I suggest that this info is moved into the game article. - 22:16, 8 January 2010 (EST)
 * Break the Targets!, Subspace Emissary(in fact, it used to be part of the Brawl article, but was separated), Home-Run Contest, Multi-Man Brawl, etc. to name a few game mode articles from the SSB series. --
 * Then we have an inconsistency here, because everywhere else, game mode articles like those get merged into their respective game articles. Why should SSB get a special treatment? - 23:55, 8 January 2010 (EST)
 * Technically, Home-Run Contest, Break the Targets and Multi-Man Brawl are more like minigames then modes. That brings up a question: which is more major? The minigames or the modes?
 * The mini-game comment Reversinator made makes sense. Tulip Shooter and Flutter Challenge from YIDS have articles as well(Just like there is no "YIDS Mini-game mode" article, there is no "Stadium mode" article for Brawl; only the games within the game mode). And the Subspace Emissary was split because the Brawl article was simply becoming much too lengthy, IIRC. --
 * Sounds reasonable.--

I think it's called "Pratfalling" because I saw in the VS records called "Number of Pratfalls" and think it means "tripping". Eh, actually, what do you think?


 * I don't think it is pratfalling because I remember seeing the exact same record in Melee.--


 * Nah, pratfalling isn't in the VS record in Melee. It's a bonus. But Brawl has it. And I don't know what that means since it doesn't explain it.


 * The page's name on SmashWiki is "Prat Falling". Just so you know. Toomai 19:05, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

Yes, prat falling is the correct term.

The correct and official term is "Pratfalling", my reference is the record screen! I'm moving it if no one opposes?
