Jigglypuff returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is one of the "Original 12" characters who have appeared in every Smash Bros. installment. It is unlockable in the 3DS version, but a starter in the Wii U version marking its first appearance as a starter in the series.

Jigglypuff currently ranks 55th on the tier list, being placed at the very bottom of the list. Despite most of its attacks being buffed from Brawl to deal higher damage, especially Rest, and it possessing a strong air game, they nowhere near resemble their strength in Melee. Jigglypuff still suffers from a very weak ground game, and has high lag on many moves coupled with low range. It is also the lightest character in the game, making it incredibly easy to kill, though, on the flip-side, harder to combo.

How to Unlock (Nintendo 3DS Only)

Complete the following:

• Play 120 matches.
• Collect 30 different Equipment items in Smash Run.

After completing either option, you must fight and defeat Jigglypuff on Unova Pokémon League.

Attributes

Strengths

• Lowest crouch out of all in the game
• Most amount of midair jumps, having 6 of them, making recovery/air attacking easy to accomplish.
• Sing can be followed up with Rest to KO highly damaged opponents.
• 2nd Fastest air speed.
• Third strongest pummel in the game, after Palutena and Lucario with max Aura power.
• Has the ability to annoy the hell out of opponents with the Sing-Rest combo.

Weaknesses

• If Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it will fly up much more than any other character, resulting in a self-destruct.
• Considerable lag on several moves.
• Misusing Rest/Sing can lead to harsh punishment.
• Lightest character in the game, which results in Jigglypuff being extremely easy to KO.
• Rollout can be hard to control when fully charged.
• Second slowest character on the ground (after Robin).
• It is one of the few characters without an Up Special recovery move to grant it a vertical trajectory (alongside Yoshi), relying only on jumps and its Side Special, Pound, to make it back on stage.
• Terrible ground game.

Differences from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Jigglypuff received many buffs that brings it a bit closer to its incarnation in Melee. The speed and power of its attacks has been increased, however a few moves were nerfed. Its range was also increased in some attacks.

Attributes

• Dash has less ending lag.
• Base jump is lower.
• Its crouch is now the lowest in the game, and can avoid a huge variety of projectiles and even Smash Attacks and grabs.

Ground Attacks

• Standard Attack is faster and has slightly higher range.
• Side Tilt deals slightly more damage and has slightly higher range.
• All smash attacks deal less damage, but only Side Smash Attack's knockback was properly increased.
• Up Tilt is faster, deals slightly more damage and has slightly higher range.
• Dash Attack deals more knockback and has less ending lag.

Aerial Attacks

• Neutral Air Attack deals slightly more damage and knockback.
• Forward and Downward Air Attacks deal slightly less damage.
• Back Air Attack has much higher knockback growth, being able to KO reliably at mid-high percentages. However, due that Jigglypuff cannot perform effective Wall of Pain as it could before.
• Up Air Attack has more reach and less ending.

Grabs and Throws

• Pummel is a bit faster, with a different animation, where Jigglypuff uses the other arm to hit rather than it's head.
• Forward Throw deals slightly more damage and knockback, and has less ending lag.
• Back Throw deals slightly more damage and knockback.
• Up and Downward Throws deal slightly more damage.

Special Attacks

• Rollout deals less damage and knockback. Also, Jigglypuff no longer can move in midair after hitting an opponent.
• Pound deals much higher shield damage. However, it doesn't stop Jigglypuff's momentum as before, losing horizontal recovery. It also has lower range when used on the ground, with Jigglypuff sliding less.
• Rest deals much more damage and knockback, capable to KO reliably. It also has a larger hitbox, being easier to hit. However, it has much higher ending lag, with Jigglypuff being asleep for longer.
• Puff Up now causes Jigglypuff to grow much larger than before, to the point of covering any Omega Form of any stage. The knockback is also increased, and as it inflates, the ground shakes.

Trophy Description

Jigglypuff

This Normal/Fairy-type Pokemon is best known for its soothing singing that can put foes to sleep. In Smash Bros., it fights best in the air and can even jump six times in a row. The downside, though, is that Jigglypuff's so light, most opponents could launch it in their sleep!
