It's true that the only proof we have is for Sonic, but you can also look at it the other way; the only proof of air tripping (that everyone can see and analyze) is also the two videos posted in the first post (which are now disproved). Everything else is just people saying "it happened to me once with so-and-so," etc.
Then again, I'm one of the most credibly people on these boards (Brawl boards). I don't lie and make **** up and when something happens to me, I make note of it and make sure I'm not remembering things wrong.
I've air tripped as Peach. Now you either call me a filthy liar or GTFO. I don't have video proof because, well, one of the times, I wasn't really paying attention and it was late and the other two times, it was in the SSE, which I'm pretty sure you cannot save replays for.
Yuna you can change the forum title to debunked now, this guy pretty much explains everything, and also it explains why it happens so much with Sonic and Peach. They have similar recoveries in that it's a straight shot up, and if hit with something (hit or land on a platform I guess) at just the right moment it stalls the fall until your next jump.
I don't know why I didn't notice this before; the wall jumping is an excellent point. He does continue his fall after a walljump and does not regain his jump. Using spring to walljump in target test 5 alot, don't know why I ever believed air trip was intentional. That's TOO cruel for Sakurai.
No, they do not. Peach's recovery is nothing like Sonic's. For one thing, it's impossible for her to land right after performing the Up B and there's noticable lag after it. There are also many other characters with Up Bs that are
much more vertical than Peach's.
For another thing
not once did I air trip right after going into the air, right after going out of some animation! Peach's air trip is nothing like the air trips in the video. Replicate it as Peach if you can.
For a third thing, until Hitaku comes back and says "I remember now, I've just Up B:ed right before this and landed right at the apex of my jump", then we cannot know if that's what happened to him or he just air tripped. It's quite probable, though. And I've always said that Sonic's air trip is very different from Peach's. And now we know why, his is a separate glitch.
Peach's Air Trip (and also Jigglypuff's and Ganondorf's) are air trips and not Footstools, Luigi's FS:es or Sonic Spring Glitches because if you land after air tripping, you land on your behind, like from a Ground Trip.
Air Tripping has not been debunked. The two videos we have proving it have. The next time I see an air trip, I'll save the replay (if it's possible). I'll force people to suicide if I have to.
To reiterate:
Air tripping is not debunked. The videos we have of Sonic "air tripping" might just not be actual air tripping but yet another Sonic glitch. I'll remove the videos for now.
