Hit trips are one of the best things in this game, it's really clever. Random tripping sucks, but I'm thinking of how every single tourney would have to do it or people would get pissed, and every tourney isn't going to do it...that's a sad fact.
Hit trips/bananas/etc. stay in the game with No Tripping on (I'm not sure if that was relevant to the rest of your point, so I'm addressing it just in case). Seeing as the Brawl hosts in Florida are Viper, Gallax, Hungrybox, Next Level Lan, and you/the ZP TO once you leave, it wouldn't be difficult to create a state-wide standard for it.
If you're concerned about nationals, then let me put it this way: What do you really lose by not practicing with tripping on? Are you worried that you will react slower to tripping? It's random, so you can't really plan a strategy around it, so I don't understand what other benefit could come from practicing with it on.
Doesn't this use the Twilight Hack?
So basically you're saying that this community should be mature enough to do Nintendo's job?
No it doesn't and he's saying that the community should be mature enough to use an available patch without someone holding our hand or doing it for us.
