Even More tripping info

Hope i linked that right. I take zero credit for the info in it. Make sure to read past the first post, as more data was gathered after it.

The main point to it, you're more likely to trip while winning than losing. The data seems pretty accurate, so I don't really know what could make it wrong.

I don't know if it's enough to convince me that it's not random but if that's true then it's total *** that tripping would work like that.

Tripping can only happen when you start or stop running. If you use the control stick to smash or use specials, you can trip if you're not perfectly timing your side-B or side-smashes, since you're starting a dash immediately before performing the move. Same goes for grabs. It's the starting or stopping dashing, nothing else, that creates a situation where tripping can occur. For those circumstances, the game randomly determines whether or not it happens.

Worthless test. He provided very minimal description of his testing methods and didn't even use the same character for both players. There are many explanations for his results other than the one he proposed including the differences between pit and mario's dash dance if that's even how he did the test.

Not that I'm saying his conclusion is false. It's a reasonable thing to test but the test simply does not support the conclusion

I did the test myself using 2 mario's on FD controlled by one wave bird with 99 stocks, i did 250 dashes, in two sets where the first set they were both at 0 % and both tripped a similar number of times IIRC there was a 1 trip disparity between the two, then i had P1 get the Curry and do 300% dmg to P2, then 250 dashes, player 1 went 7 trips to 1 when i stopped the trial. so i don't claim that this proves it, but its pretty darn good evidence, that said tripping is still random, its random, just with various variables affecting the randomness.

How about this?:
Tripping is random.
BUT
certain variables can make the trip less common..... But still random.

I heard the more you touch yourself at night the more likely tripping can occur.../discuss

There are 2 ways to prevent tripping:
1) Stand still.
2) Play Melee.

3. Jump.
4. Walk.
5. Crawl.

All are viable options.

Tripping is indeed random, but he's arguing that the randomness of it its influenced by your percentage. It's really easy to test, so someone should probably give it a shot. Just put two Marios on one wavebird, set one to 999% and dash back and forth.

Sucks for Lucario if it's true, lol.

 

[BigRick]

I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff was true

I think I read it in a guide somewhere...maybe gamefaqs or ign???? or maybe it was on the dojo???

Didn't Phanna do a test with a wavebird in a video?

I think that pretty much proves that it is random...


also, I touch myself a lot at night, but I don't seem to trip a lot...

As zek already mentioned, the person isnt debating that it's random. He is explaining how the randomness is influenced by the character's health.
