Have you Air-Tripped yet?

Jono2 · April 05, 2008, 09:32:57 PM

Happened to me again today... I think it's the third time (two were in SSE, causing me to fall to my death as DK).

Yes, I know that Luigi's Final Smash is supposed to produce wild results, but it shouldn't air trip. I was toon link, and had just respawned (somehow Luigi's Final Smash effects you even when you have your invincibility frames) and went to attack my brother on the left half of Green Greens. Overshot, went into mid-air, air tripped, and died.

Funny thing is, I suicided in an equally stupid manner beforehand, then almost beat him. >_>

but it's darn annoying. Why would they program tripping in in the first place, and in the second place, why put in Air tripping for god's sake? I mean, I wasn't even trying to jump. I was just moving around in the air and I tripped.

not even possible in real life, so the "realism" argument doesn't work here.

They just decided to screw people over randomly. :|

You mean where you're running then trip over nothing?

no, when you're in mid-air and you suddenly lose all ability to use a second or triple jump, and all you can do is careen to the ground, or worse, your death.

It's happened to me about once but it's happened to my friends multiple times. It's so funny watching them yell as they are helpless to recover back onto the stage. ;D

What I see a lot is people somehow double jumping without using their first jump. That might be the problem...

no. it doesn't even allow you your third jump. you just go into a falling animation as if you have used your third jump and you didn't get anywhere.

Oooooooooooooooooh...

Nope, haven't done it :P

3 times I've done it. I died twice, but once I fell asleep to a Home Run Bat.

Depster · April 06, 2008, 09:57:46 AM

you can attack out of them and then jump, i think, or you can wiggle the control stick really fast

Unforunately, it's happened a lot for me.

Normal tripping is funny, otherwise, It's not.

normal tripping is only funny when you're playing with others noncompetitively, and even then it's just moronic. it completely disrupts normal gameplay when you're trying to beat classic/all star mode, and it's just intercourse ing stupid.
