*Pika, DK, G&W, Jiggy, Weegee*. In-depth analysis of attacks that trip your opponent!

I did more science and figured out all the attacks in the game that can make opponents trip.

If you hit the other guy with one of these moves when his percentage is in the range listed next to the move, there's about a, oh, I dunno... 10% chance he'll trip. Except for the moves marked with a *, which trip about 50% of the time. Very useful, to say the least. Those are the ones you need to watch out for. Moves marked with a ? aren't that reliable, but I marked them as worth taking a look at because they can cause tripping over a large range of damages.
Basically * or ? = useful

So what happens?
Basically, tripping can occur with moves that send you opponent straight horizontally (kind of I guess), so that they slide across the ground stunned, or with moves that launch them by hitting them down into the ground (like using many dairs on grounded opponents). When you hit an opponent at low %s with one of these vertical launchers, they'll stay grounded.



But if you use the move when your opponent has enough damage, they'll get launched. Bowser needs 52% (in training mode) for Mario's fair to launch him.



For these moves to be able to trip, the opponent's % needs to be low enough so they're not launched, but higher than a (seemingly arbitrary) threshold. Bowser must be at 18% or higher (but lower than 52%) for Mario's fair to have a chance of tripping him.

Moves that send your opponent horizontally follow the same basic rules. Mario's ftilt, at low percentages, will send Bowser sliding stunned along the ground in his HUARGH animation.


HUARGH!

But once Bowser reaches a high enough percentage (46% in training mode), Mario's ftilt will put him in a WHARRGARBL state.


WHARRGARBL!

To cause tripping, they must not have so much damage that the move WHARRGARBLs them, but again, they must have enough damage that they're within tripping range. Mario's ftilt can only trip once Bowser has 38%, but stops being able to trip when it WHARRGARBLs him at 46%.


Jigglypuff is HUARGH


Usually a character's WHARRGARBL animation will involve one or both feet leaving the ground and them becoming unbalanced.

Another important distinction between HUARGH and WHARRGARBL is that HUARGH'd opponents will bounce off walls (and be forced to tech), while WHARRGARBL'd enemies will just kind of WHARRGARBL in place against the wall. This might be useful, I dunno.

NOTE: These were all tested on BOWSER in training mode. If you want to find what percentage a different character will trip at, you have to DIVIDE these nuuuuuuumbeeeeeeeeers by another nuuuuuuuuumbeeeeeeeer depending on the weight of the character. Jigglypuff's number is 1.32. So to find out when Zelda's dtilt will stop tripping Jigglypuff, you divide the upper range I gave (92%) by 1.32, which gives you 69%! I've tested this and it works, though I don't have ratios for anyone other than Jigglypuff right now. But you could probably derive it with some numbers on character weights.

NOTE 2: Being that I did these tests in training mode, these nuuuuuuumbeeeeeeeers also don't account for Stale Moves. Spammed attacks diminish in knockback, so the percentage range for a spammed attack will be higher.

NOTE 3: Being that I did these tests in training mode, these nuuuuuuuumbeeeeeeers also don't account for the bizarre fact that knockback seems to be just slightly reduced in training mode. So though Mario's fair can trip until 51% in training mode, it only trips up to 48% in a regular match. It is teh mysterious ¯\(ºдಠ)/¯

NOTE 4: The slope your opponent is standing on affects HUARGHing and WHARRGARBLing (but doesn't affect attacks that launch). If you hit them downhill, they'll WHARRGARBL at lower percentages. It's the opposite for hitting them uphill. These nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumbeeeeeeeeeeeers are all for opponents on level ground.

NOTE 5: I don't believe DI has any effect on this. Unlike melee, SDI and ASDI cannot change what hit state you are sent into, so you cannot SDI downwards to stay grounded, or SDI upwards to make yourself WHARRGARBL instead of HUARGH. And if a move would send you flying at a low angle, you can't DI downwards to keep yourself in a grounded hitstate (though you can make yourself bounce or tech off the floor). But I believe you can ASDI/DI sideways near a wall to tech into it (this would allow you to ledge tech, so someone should look into it.) But I think you have to press L after being hit, which gives you like 1 frame, lol.

NOTE 6: AIRBORNE TO GROUNDED HITSTUN: If you hit an airborne opponent into/onto the ground, they'll either bounce+need to tech, or WHARRGARBL (if their damage is low enough). The maximum amount of damage that will make an airborne opponent WHARRGARBL is the same as on the ground. Falcon's dair, for example, will WHARRGARBL an airborne (or grounded) Bowser at 37%, but at 38% it will make him bounce off the ground (if they're grounded, it will send him airborne). This means no tripping of airborne opponents (since they never HUARGH).

nuuuuuumbeeeeeeeeeeeeers
All numbers pretty much exact, unless preceded with a ~. You can be sure I got the upper boundaries right, but it's possible I made a mistake with the lower boundaries. I might have also missed some moves, so if you see something trip that's not listed here, tell me!
fs=forward smash, dt=down tilt, nair=neutral air, etc

I can't decide if you're spamming or actually being helpful.

However, each character thread probably has individual moveset data already.

Sooo
what about the kind of tripping that occurs when no damage of any kind is dealt or no contact is made?

You made two small mistakes. First of all, the french adjective for important does not have an accent aigu over the e at the end.

Second, you said that WHARRGARBL moves make you slide and HUARGH need to be teched, when it's the other way around.

Good post, though.

1) It's... teh Spanish

2) Both make you slide. If you don't hit a wall, they're both pretty much the same. But if you hit a wall while HUARGHing, you'll bounce off and land on the ground on your back unless you tech.

Where did these two names WHARRGARBL and HUARGH comes from? Might want to put that explicitly in the first post.
