When sitting down, a character has the same [[floor recovery|options]] as when lying down; however, a tripped character is more vulnerable. Unlike prone or supine fighters, sitting fighters can be [[grab]]bed; getup attacks from a sitting position are weaker than from a lying down position, usually dealing 5% as opposed to 6%, lacking [[transcendent priority]], and possessing only 8 [[intangibility|intangible]] [[frame]]s (getup attacks are usually intangible until the attack's hitboxes end); and rolls and stand-ups are generally subpar to their lying down counterparts, possessing fewer invincibility frames while still retaining their long animations.

Most attacks can only make an opponent trip if the target is not already sitting down and the attack knockback does not knock the target into the air. However, some have the [[slip]] effect and will therefore result in a trip regardless of these circumstances; these are represented in this list with "Always".

==List of tripping attacks in ''SSB4''==
==List of tripping attacks in ''SSB4''==
As in ''Brawl'', attacks can only trip if they do not knock the target into the air, so most attacks with trip chances will never trip or will only trip at low percents. Some attacks have the ''slip'' effect and cause soft trips that immobilize for around 30 frames, while attacks with trip chances cause hard trips that immobilize for around 40 frames. Attacks with ''slip'' are noted here with ''Always''.

The randomness of ''Brawl''{{'}}s tripping mechanic was generally negatively received, viewed as counterproductive to the idea of a skill-based match with a minimum of disruptive, chance-based elements. Furthermore, unlike some other heavily chance-based elements such as [[stage]] selection or [[item]] availability, random tripping cannot be turned off in ''Brawl''. Owing to its negative reception, gameplay [[mod]]s generally remove random tripping from gameplay.

Owing to its negative reception, gameplay [[mod]]s generally remove random tripping from gameplay.


While random tripping is considered a detriment to tournament play, forced tripping by certain moves is generally better-received, since, unlike random tripping, its deliberate use can be planned for and planned against. As such, forced tripping is an integral part of some characters' metagames, such as in the case of {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} and his banana peels. Despite random tripping being removed in ''SSB4'' and remaining absent in ''Ultimate'', forced tripping is still important in some characters' metagames in these two games, such as {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}}.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' features a [[List of bonuses|bonus]] called "Pratfaller". It has no relation to later games' tripping, and is instead awarded to players who always fall face-up after [[tumbling]].

*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].

*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 {{SSB4|Rosalina}} do not follow this rule.

** [[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.

** {{SSBU|Wolf}} is also an example, as he uses the "realistic" tripping sound whereas {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}} use the "cartoony" sound.
