Wall of Pain

Wall of Pain (abbreviated "WoP") is a Jigglypuff strategy of constantly barraging the opponent with high priority aerial attacks, while exploiting Jigglypuff's horizontal air maneuverability, often used to juggle oponents off stage.


 * On the ground, Jigglypuff should move forward in the air with each attack, then once you hit your opponent, move back to where you started. This allows for quick attacks and keeps you out of range from any retaliations.


 * However, what makes this Jigglypuff's unique technique, is when WoP is used to carry or juggle an opponent horizontally off the stage.


 * In Super Smash Bros. Melee, this was done by interspacing Jigglypuff's B-air with jumps, while moving off the stage; utilizing Jigglypuff's superior air manouevrability and high priority to always land a hit with each spin kick.


 * In Brawl, the B-air, has lost its knock-back, and the F-air has had its increased. This allows for an easier WoP, where Jigglypuff need not face backward. However, the B-air still has higher priority. Therefore, it is suggested that for on the ground, or working up damage, the B-air WoP should be utilized, but for juggling off the stage at higher damage the F-air, with greater knockback works better. (Altough Stale-Move Negation, means that switching between the 2, if possible is much greater. In fact, if solely working up damage, Pound can be incorporated into the WoP, as it too has a high priority.)


 * WoP also functions best with Jigglypuff as (excluding Pound) the F-airs and B-airs produce a regular horizontal knockback that is easy to follow up with and combo.

Tetsuya and AOB were the earliest prominent users of the technique, and they are largely responsible for its widespread use (see PuffStuff). The term "Wall of Pain" was coined by Smash World Forums administrator and retired smasher Amorasaki, a longtime friend of AOB. One of the most famous examples, commonly demonstrated by pro smasher King, is the use of Jigglypuff's multiple back airs to juggle an opponent off the stage, horizontally.
