| '''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin''), stylized as '''JIGGLYPUFF''' in Europe, is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Confirmation of its appearance in ''Brawl'', along with its fellow veteran {{SSBB|Ness}} and the newcomer {{SSBB|Lucario}}, were [[List of leaks#Lucario/Jigglypuff/Ness leak|leaked]] before the game's release through a promotional video on the Japanese Wii website about [[sticker]] power ups; it was later officially [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden10.html confirmed] via {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} on March 25, 2008.

| |
|
| Jigglypuff is voiced by Rachael Lillis in English via reused voice clips from ''Smash 64'', and by Mika Kanai in Japanese via voice clips last used in ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and some new ones. It is also voiced by Virginie Demians and Dina Kuerten in French and German, respectively, replacing Guilaine Gilbert and Mara Winzer from ''Melee'', the latter two also voicing the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} in the French and German versions of ''Brawl''.
| | '''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン}}, ''Purin'': '''Purin''') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Jigglypuff was indirectly revealed in an updated trailer on the official Japanese Wii website. It was confirmed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! on March 25, 2008. |
|
| |
|
| Jigglypuff is ranked 36th on the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' tier list in the bottom tier, a massive drop from its 3rd place ranking in the ''Melee'' tier list. Jigglypuff possesses incredible [[air speed|air mobility]], a good aerial game, some of the strongest edgeguarding, and one of the best recoveries in the game. The reason for its huge tier drop comes indirectly from the way its best attributes transitioned to ''Brawl''. Like {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, Jigglypuff's combos were more reliant on [[hitstun]] than other characters, and its excellent edguarding abilities came from ''Melee''{{'}}s much harsher disadvantage states. Jigglypuff has also had its KO moves nerfed, with Rest in particular suffering greatly; as opposed to KOing under 25% like it did in ''Melee'', it does not reliably KO until around 75%, and it is much harder to land due to the ability to cancel hitstun and the cast's reduced [[falling speed]]s preventing combos into it. In addition to this, Jigglypuff has terrible range, one of the worst ground games, the worst endurance of any character in ''Brawl'' (exacerbated by ''Brawl''{{'}}s defensive play), attacks that are punishable on landing, and poor air to ground transitioning due to its floaty physics preventing it from approaching safely in many situations. Such factors combine to result in awful [[matchup]]s and [[tournament]] results. Thanks to the huge nerfs and terrible transitioning to ''Brawl''{{'}}s meta, Jigglypuff holds distinction of having the largest tier list drop between ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. What's more, Jigglypuff's position in Europe and Japan is worse than it is in America. In America, it is ranked as the 3rd worst character, while it is ranked as the 2nd worst and worst character in the game in Europe and Japan, respectively. | | == Strategies == |
| | Jigglypuff can be a popular choice despite being a light character. [[Wall of Pain]] is an effective technique, that can be used at amateur (thanks to the buffing of Fair) and experienced levels. All avid Jigglypuff users need to know how to do this, using Bair, and pound as well to juggle enemies off the stage at relatively low damages. [[Rollout (move)|Rollout]] and [[Pound]] have huge knockbacks and do a good amount of damage. Care must be used when executing a Rollout, though, because if it misses and you do not turn around in time, Jigglypuff will roll off of the stage. However, unlike melee, Jigglypuff is no longer helpless after rollout and can usually reach the stage again by jumping and [[Rising Pound]]. However, if Jigglypuff does hit an opponent in the air with rollout it will be helpless until it lands. |
| | [[Sing]] can be used after a large amount of damage has been inflicted by the means of [[Rest]], Pound, and Rollout, and use Rest as a finisher. [[Rest]] can also be used in midair, as well as all of Jigglypuff's other Specials. |
|
| |
|
| ==How to unlock== | | == Event Matches == |
| Complete one of the following:
| | *'''[[Event 29: All-Star Semifinal Regulars]]'''- Select your character to fight against the original 4 hidden characters on Yoshi's Island. |
| *Play 350 [[VS. match]]es. | | *'''[[Event 35: The Visitor to Flat Zone]]'''- As Mr. Game & Watch, KO Peach, Jigglypuff, and Toon Link on Flat Zone 2. All three opponents have the "Game & Watch" effect on their models. |
| *Complete 20 or more [[event]]s after completing [[The Subspace Emissary]].
| |
| *Find Jigglypuff in [[The Swamp]] stage after completing The Subspace Emissary. It can be found through the first door after defeating the [[False Giant Diddy Kong]]. Note that this method does not show the challenger approaching screen, but a cutscene of Jigglypuff challenging the player shows instead. | |
|
| |
|
| The player must then defeat Jigglypuff on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
| | == Co-Op Event Matches == |
| | *'''[[Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback]]'''- On Castle Siege, play as tiny Jigglypuff and Mr. Game & Watch against giant Ness and Lucas. Over the course of the battle, your opponents shrink down to your tiny size, while Jigglypuff grows. |
| | *'''[[Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle]]'''- Select your character and take on the entire roster on Battlefield. |
|
| |
|
| ==Attributes== | | ==Role in the [[Subspace Emissary]]== |
| Jigglypuff is a character of the extremes, being the lightest and floatiest character in the game. With six jumps (albeit with the lowest height per jump), combined with the second fastest [[air speed]] (second only to {{SSBB|Yoshi}}), the slowest [[falling speed]], and [[Rising Pound]], Jigglypuff dominates in aerial combat, and, with its forward aerial and back aerial moves, it can use the [[Wall of Pain]] technique very effectively allowing opponents to be K.O.ed at low percentages by being juggled off-screen. Jigglypuff's excellent aerial maneuverability makes up for its dash speed, which is the slowest in the game. A main disadvantage is that Jigglypuff's lightweight and floatiness means that it is sent flying rather easily in any direction. However, its light weight (combined with being floaty and small) also makes it immune to most [[chaingrab]]s. Despite this, because its air release has almost no horizontal distance, Jigglypuff can suffer from grab release combos by characters like Yoshi (though Jigglypuff has high vertical distance in its air release and can move one frame before anyone else's air release). | | Jigglypuff does not play a major role in the [[Subspace Emissary]], being an optional character in the Subspace Emissary, much like [[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]] and [[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]]. If you enter the new door in Swamp which appears after you've finished Subspace Emissary, it will take you to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where Jigglypuff is performing a song. You will then fight Jigglypuff. |
|
| |
|
| Jigglypuff has many attacks with decent knockback, but these attacks also have very low range (being light and poor ranged makes approaches very dangerous) and sometimes a medium amount of starting and/or ending lag. Its recovery is aided by [[Rollout]], which is also a devastating [[approach attack]] on the ground, and the fact it never enters a [[helpless]] state makes the attack effective in the air too. However, Rollout, as with all charging approach attacks, can be predictable and can lead to a self-destruct if used carelessly. The move [[Rest]] provides invincibility frames which come out in one frame - faster than a shield - this allows for avoiding some dangerous situations. Rest can also deal up to 45% damage, and has vertical knockback and almost no horizontal knockback, guaranteeing a KO at around 75%, meaning Jigglypuff's vulnerability time after Rest is avoided if the attack hits. However, Rest leaves Jigglypuff extremely vulnerable if it misses. Jigglypuff also has a good array of strong albeit laggy smash attacks. Jigglypuff lacks projectiles, but its great aerial mobility helps it dodge many of them easily. Upon breaking its shield, Jigglypuff will be sent for a [[Star KO]] if there is no ceiling above it (see [[shield jump]]). | | ==How to Unlock:== |
| | *Play 350 Brawl Matches, then defeat Jigglypuff |
| | *Fight Jigglypuff in the Swamp stage after completing Subspace. Access to Jigglypuff is through the first door found after defeating giant Shadowbug clone of Diddy Kong. |
| | *Complete Subspace Emissary and then, Events 1-20. Afterwards, defeat Jigglypuff. |
| | If you have already completed Events 1-20, play (succeed or fail) another event match regardless if it's already been done or not and defeat Jigglypuff. |
|
| |
|
| One of Jigglypuff's traits is that it has the slowest falling speed in the game, which is both beneficial and detrimental. This is beneficial because it allows for techniques such as the [[Wall of Pain]], it significantly helps Jigglypuff's recovery, and it allows Jigglypuff to easily stay airborne in situations where ground play is dangerous. Jigglypuff's slow falling speed is detrimental because Jigglypuff cannot move from the air to the ground as quickly as most characters, limiting its options in most situations, and it makes vertically K.O.ing Jigglypuff very easy.
| | ==Pros and Cons== |
| | ===Pros:=== |
| | *[[Rest]] is a powerful kill move at mid-percentages, and racks up a lot of damage at lower percentages |
| | *Aerials are quick and have good priority and damage |
| | *Has one of the best recoveries in the game |
| | *Can [[Wall of Pain]] and is extremely effective at doing so; technique itself was invented for Jigglypuff |
| | *Small target |
| | *Deceptively strong |
| | *Powerful throws |
| | *Most moves have small knock back, which allows for great [[combo]] ability |
| | *Has the best aerial maneuvering in the game allowing for a hit and run strategy that involves a short-hop towards an opponent followed by an aerial and then floating back |
| | *Can [[Shield Jump]] |
| | *All tilts are useful for combos or quick combo interception |
| | *Extremely low crouch that allows for easy projectile dodging, except ground huggers ([[Ice Shot]], [[Gyro]] etc.) |
| | *Can [[Rising Pound]] which can recover horizontally infinitely with almost no height loss. |
| | *Very difficult to [[combo]] and [[chain grab]]. |
| | *Has 5 mid-air jumps |
| | *Fantastic edgeguarder |
| | *[[Dash attack canceling|Dash attack canceled]] into an up smash covers a significant distance |
| | *Huge priority |
| | *Can combo and juggle characters off the screen and still recover |
| | *Extremely floaty allowing for easy recovery from the side and difficult follow-ups for enemies combos. |
| | *[[Rollout]] is still a powerful speed move, with great horizontal knockback, allowing for easy pre-100% damage kills, if not dodged. |
| | *Second fastest horizontal [[air speed|Aerial Speed]] in the game (is much faster than her dash. Her midair speed is also faster than several other characters' dashes, such as [[Zelda]]). |
| | *Largest multijumps in the game |
| | *Down smash is a [[semi-spike]]. |
| | *Has a long [[snakedashing|Smash-boost]]. |
| | *Smallest character, making it hard to attack it. |
|
| |
|
| ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''== | | ===Cons:=== |
| Jigglypuff was heavily nerfed in the transition from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''. It's air game has been significantly weakened, as its [[air acceleration]], formerly notorious for allowing it to weave in and out extremely quickly, has been largely reduced to be closer to that of the rest of the cast. This is further burdened by the cast generally having stronger recoveries and the changes to [[air dodging]], which overall makes Jigglypuff's edgeguarding much less effective. Its most useful aerials from ''Melee'', namely [[back aerial]] and [[up aerial]], are not only adversely affected by these changes, but have received their own nerfs as well; the former has less range and more ending lag, while the latter deals less damage and is overall a less effective juggling tool. Jigglypuff's KO power has also been heavily decreased, as all its smash attacks are slower and weaker, while [[Rest]]'s knockback has been significantly decreased to the point it can no longer KO under 70%, as opposed to KOing as low as 10% in ''Melee''. Lastly, the introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] combined with the cast's universally decreased fall speeds have greatly hindered Jigglypuff's combo game, as some moves such as its up throw have completely lost their combo potential, and setups into Rest are much harder to perform.
| | *The lightest character in the game, making it easy to knock around and KO, especially without proper [[Directional Influence|DI]]. |
| | *No projectile or way to reflect projectiles |
| | *Short Range. |
| | *Up-Special provides no recovery potential |
| | *A missed [[Rest]] leaves Jigglypuff vulnerable for 4 seconds allowing others to take advantage. |
| | *Has the slowest dash speed in the game, Reliant on [[Rollout]] and Aerial Movement for speed. |
| | *Breaking Jigglypuff's shield results in instant KO if there is no ceiling to stop it. (See [[Shield Jump]]) |
| | *Slowest falling speed in the game makes Jigglypuff easily juggled. |
| | *All specials have noticeable ending lag, making it punishable. |
|
| |
|
| Despite all the nerfs it has received, Jigglypuff did receive a few buffs. Its overall weight (while still low) has been significantly increased, giving it better survivability. Forward aerial has increased knockback, giving Jigglypuff a viable aerial attack to KO with at high percents. Down aerial is now also capable of [[trip]]ping opponents, allowing it to be used for setups more effectively. Lastly, the introduction of [[DACUS]] slightly alleviates Jigglypuff's poor ground approach.
| | ==Changes from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]] to [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]== |
| | * Rest has less knockback and damage, and adds a flower on the opponent's head instead of having a fiery effect. |
| | * Down Throw now only does damage when the opponent is thrown, not during the rolling part of the attack. |
| | * Blue and Green Costume have changed. Blue is now a sunhat, green is now a nightcap, and she also got a new costume which is a white hat with a bit of pink, based on Leaf's hat in FireRed and LeafGreen. |
| | * Aerials, except Fair - which is strengthened and Dair, weakened. |
| | * Possibly lighter, is no longer is tied in weight with [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. |
| | * Yellow soundwaves appear around Jigglypuff when Sing is used instead of colorful soundwaves. Jigglypuff also doesn't open her eyes in the last part of the song and now opens them until the song is over. |
| | * No longer becomes [[helpless]] when [[Rollout]] is used in the air. |
| | * No longer the easiest character to unlock. |
| | * Almost all of Jigglypuff's movements now make a cute squeaky, rubbery puffy sound, including midair jumps and attacks. |
| | * Due to Zelda's running speed increased, she is no longer tied with Zelda for the slowest dash speed and now is the slowest. |
| | *[[Rollout]] has 2 stages of being "fully charged": 'fully charged' and 'super charged'. (see [[Rollout]]). |
|
| |
|
| Overall, Jigglypuff's nerfs heavily outweigh its buffs, and the changes to ''Brawl'' hindered it more than they helped it, resulting in it going from one of the biggest threats in ''Melee'' to one of the weakest characters in ''Brawl''.

| *{{change|As with the returning veterans, Jigglypuff's [[falling speed]] was reduced (1.3 → 0.98). Compared to the returning veterans, however, Jigglypuff falls faster. While this improves its endurance, it is more vulnerable to combos and chain grabs. Jigglypuff still maintains the lowest fall speed in the game.}} | | * Neutral Aerial - ''Air Kick'' - Sticks foot out, shrinking in on itself a little. |
| *{{change|Jigglypuff's [[gravity]] is lower (0.064 → 0.05056).}}
| | * Forward Aerial - ''Double Kick'' - Dropkicks forward. |
| **{{buff|Jigglypuff benefits the most from the new consideration of gravity on vertical knockback, having the biggest vertical knockback reduction, although it is more vulnerable to [[meteor smash]]es as a result.}}
| | * Back Aerial - ''Spin Kick'' - Spins once backward and kicks. |
| *{{buff|Jigglypuff is significantly heavier (60 → 68), which improves its horizontal survivability, although it is once again the lightest character in the game.}} | | * Up Aerial - ''Uppercut'' - Waves once upward. |
| *{{buff|Jigglypuff's traction is lower (0.09 → 0.0718), although relative to the cast, Jigglypuff now has the second highest traction with its traction being higher than all other returning veterans.}} | | * Down Aerial - ''Drill Kick'' - Spinning drill kick. |
| *{{nerf|Jigglypuff's [[air speed]] is slower (1.35 → 1.269), no longer being the fastest in the game.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Jigglypuff's [[air acceleration]] is significantly lower (0.19 → 0.05 (base), 0.09 → 0.08 (additional)), no longer being the highest in the game by a considerable margin, which is exacerbated by most returning veterans having their air acceleration increased. This significantly worsens Jigglypuff's [[approach]], [[punish]] and [[spacing]] abilities that constituted its outstanding [[neutral game]] in ''Melee''.}} | |
| **{{buff|Though Jigglypuff's air acceleration is reduced much less while in its midair jump animation.}} | |
| *{{nerf|In a similar vein to {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, the introduction of [[hitstun canceling]] prevents Jigglypuff from racking up a significant amount of guaranteed damage, and makes it much harder to land its finishing moves ([[Rest]] in particular).}}
| |
| *{{nerf|[[Jumpsquat]] is slower (5 → 6 frames).}}
| |
| *{{buff|Sidestep has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 26).}}
| |
| *{{nerf|[[Sidestep]] has increased startup lag (frame 2 → 3), and unlike the rest of the veterans' sidesteps, its [[intangibility]] was not increased, making it the sidestep with the shortest intangibility in the game.}}

| *{{buff|[[Roll]]s have less ending lag (FAF 35 → 33).}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Forward roll has increased startup lag (frame 2 → 3).}}

|
| ===Ground attacks=== | | === Grabs & Throws === |
| *[[Neutral attack]]: | | * Pummel - |
| **{{buff|Both hits have larger hitboxes (3.6u → 4.32u). The introduction of [[jab lock]]ing also improves its damage racking ability if the opponent misses a [[tech]]. Lastly, Jigglypuff can quickly repeat the first hit until it connects if the attack button is held.}}
| | * Forward Throw - ''Expand'' - Puffs once, hitting opponent forward. |
| **{{nerf|Its first hit has more ending lag (FAF 16 → 17).}}
| | * Back Throw - ''Overthrow'' - Back suplexes opponent. |
| *[[Forward tilt]]: | | * Up Throw - ''Twirl'' - Spins once and sends opponent up. |
| **{{nerf|Forward tilt has more startup lag (frame 6 → 7).}}
| | * Down Throw - ''Wrestle'' - Rolls back and forth on its opponent. |
| *[[Up tilt]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Up tilt can KO earlier due to the generally slower falling speeds of the cast.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has more startup and a shorter duration (frames 8-14 → 9-13). The changes to ''Brawl''{{'}}s physics also makes it significantly less useful for juggling.}}
| |
| *[[Down tilt]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|Down tilt has more ending lag (FAF 30 → 31) and smaller hitboxes (3.6u/4u → 3u).}}
| |
| *[[Dash attack]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Jigglypuff is capable of cancelling the initial frames of its dash attack for a [[DACUS]], slightly improving its otherwise slow ground game.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has more startup (frame 4 → 5).}} | |
| *[[Forward smash]]: | |
| **{{nerf|Forward smash has more startup (frame 12 → 16) and ending lag (FAF 45 → 55).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has lower knockback scaling (118 (clean)/105 (late) → 103/80), and its clean hit deals less damage (17% → 16%), hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| *[[Up smash]]:
| |
| **{{buff|[[Up smash]]'s sweetspot now takes priority over its sourspot, making it easier to hit. Both are also larger (4u/6u → 4.8u/7.2u).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Up smash has much more startup (frame 7 → 16) and ending lag (FAF 45 → 54). It also has lower knockback scaling (110 → 100), and its sourspot deals less damage (14% → 13%), hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| **{{change|Up smash's angle has been altered (90° → 87°).}}
| |
| *[[Down smash]]:
| |
| **{{buff|[[Down smash]]'s hitboxes are larger (4u/4.8u → 4.8u/5.6u).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Down smash has more startup (frame 9 → 14) and ending lag (FAF 48 → 53).}}
| |
| ***{{change|It has an altered animation, where Jigglypuff appears to wind up for the attack, before returning to a standing position and winding up a second time and actually attacking, causing the animation to look unfinished.}}
| |
| **{{change|Down smash now sends grounded opponents sliding along flat surfaces even at percents where it would otherwise cause [[tumbling]], including 999%. This prevents them from teching the move to survive, and allows it to take better advantage of [[edge slipping]], but reduces its KO potential against opponents with high traction.}} | |
|
| |
|
| ===Aerial attacks=== | | ==Special Moves== |
| *{{change|All aerials except down aerial have less landing lag (20/10 frames → 15). Due to the removal of [[L-canceling]], however, their landing lag is not fully compensated.}}
| | {{specialmoves|Rollout (move)|Pound|Sing|Rest|Puff Up|Jigglypuff}} |
| *{{buff|All aerials except neutral aerial [[auto-cancel]] earlier (frame 34 → 28 (forward), frame 25 → 23 (back), frame 37 → 35 (up), frame 39 → 38 (down)). Coupled with Jigglypuff's slower falling speed, this enables all of them to auto-cancel in a short hop.}}
| |
| *{{buff|All aerials except up aerial have gained the ability to [[lock]] opponents.}}
| |
| *{{buff|Jigglypuff's slower falling speed enables it to perform multiple aerials in a short hop such as two forward or back aerials.}}
| |
|
| |
|
| *[[Neutral aerial]]:
| | ==[[Final Smash]]== |
| **{{buff|Neutral aerial has a slightly longer duration (frames 6-28 → 6-29), less ending lag (FAF 50 → 44), and its clean hit has increased knockback (10 (base)/70 (scaling) → 20/90).}}
| | [[Puff Up]] is a deadly move on a small stage. On stages such as as [[Shadow Moses Island]] with walls on either sides, 72% damage can be dealt, as 18% is taken each time an enemy collides with Jiggly, right until it is normal size again, and you can't control yourself while you're bouncing around! However, avoiding this final smash is quite easy: cliffhanging and then dropping off just before the "hit", and then jumping back on, works well. To combat this, Puff users should either short hop before using the final smash, as this causes Puff's legs to dangle when it grows and so its legs can hit people cliffhanging. However, for better success, on stages such as Battle Field, Final Destination and the Stadiums, Use 2/3 jumps to get under the middle of the stage.... then see where the enemy can run. |
| **{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% (clean/9% (late) → 10%/6%), and its late hit has lower knockback scaling (80 → 70). It also auto-cancels later due to the move's longer duration (frame 29 → 30).}}
| |
| *[[Forward aerial]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Forward aerial's clean hit has increased knockback (10 (base)/100 (scaling) → 30/108), allowing it to KO more effectively at high percents.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Forward aerial has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 7-22 → 8-20), and more ending lag (FAF 35 → 37). Its late hit also deals less damage (7% → 6%) and knockback (10 (base)/80 (scaling) → 12/70).}}
| |
| *[[Back aerial]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Back aerial has less startup lag (frame 9 → 8).}}
| |
| ***{{buff|As a result, the hitboxes now become active a frame before Jigglypuff actually kicks its foot, resulting in the move having a large disjoint for its first active frame.}}
| |
| **{{buff|It has larger hitboxes (4u/4u/4.4u → 4u/4.5u/5u).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Its hitboxes are no longer attached to Jigglypuff's leg but rather, they are now stationary. While this allows the move to cover a set area more consistently throughout the active duration of the move and it allows the move to cover more of Jigglypuff's body, it significantly decreases its range, as the position of the hitboxes was not fully compensated (z offset: 2.0/-0.4/0 → -12/-8/4). As a result, the move is now only slightly disjointed, making it a much less effective spacing tool.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has more ending lag (FAF 31 → 33).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has decreased knockback scaling (100 → 90).}}
| |
| ***{{nerf|Altogether these changes combined with Jigglypuff's worse air mobility and the introduction of hitstun canceling reduce its effectiveness as a [[Wall of Pain]].}}
| |
| *[[Up aerial]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Up aerial has less startup lag with a longer duration much like its ''Smash 64'' counterpart (frames 9-12 → 8-16), and it has less ending lag (FAF 38 → 37).}}
| |
| **{{change|It now has three smaller hitboxes rather than one large hitbox (5.6u → 4u/4u/4u).}}
| |
| **{{change|Its angle has been altered (90° → 88°).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It deals less damage (12% → 9%). This hinders its KO potential, while the changes to ''Brawl''{{'}}s physics also significantly hinder its combo and juggling potential.}}
| |
| *[[Down aerial]]:

| **{{buff|Down aerial is now capable of [[trip]]ping opponents at higher percents. Combined with the move's ability to auto-cancel in a short hop, this improves its setup potential. It also deals more total damage (14.74% → 16%) due to the changes to [[stale-move negation]].}}
| |
| **{{change|With the introduction of multipliers for [[hitlag]] and [[SDI]] in ''Brawl'', down aerial has received a below-average hitlag multiplier (0.8×), but an above-average [[SDI multiplier]] (1.2×). This makes SDI more effective against the move, but gives opponents less time to execute it.}}

|
| ===Throws/other attacks===
| | Also, if you play as Fox/Falco/Wolf, If on a larger stage, Jigglypuff tries to trap you off on one side of the stage before using Puff Up, you can use your side B, and as long as the normal distance the attack would move you, would move you beyond the centre of Jigglypuff, you'll appear on the other side, and can run to freedom! |
| *[[Grab]]s:
| |
| **{{buff|Standing and dash grabs have less startup (frame 7 → 6 (standing), frame 12 → 11 (dash)) and ending lag (FAF 31 → 30 (standing), FAF 41 → 40 (dash)).}}
| |
| *[[Pummel]]:
| |
| **{{buff|[[Pummel]] is faster (30 → 20 frames).}}
| |
| *[[Forward throw]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|[[Forward throw]] deals less damage (12% → 10%), and its first hit no longer overrides the throw itself, severely decreasing the move's knockback (40 (base)/110 (scaling) → 100/30) and giving it a higher angle (361° → 55°) against grabbed targets as a result. This significantly worsens its edgeguarding and KO potential, going from the second strongest forward throw in ''Melee'' to among the weakest in ''Brawl''.}}
| |
| *[[Up throw]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|[[Up throw]] deals less damage (11% → 10%) and knockback (130 (base)/25 (scaling) → 110/30). While this would make it better for combos, the universally decreased falling speeds and the introduction of hitstun canceling have completely removed its combo potential, including the [[space animal slayer]].}}
| |
| *[[Down throw]]:
| |
| **{{buff|[[Down throw]] now consists of only one hit right before the throw, instead of five hits as Jigglypuff rolls on the opponent. However, the move still deals more total damage (1% (hits 1-4)/3% (hit 5)/2% (throw) → 4% (hit 1)/6% (throw)).}}
| |
| *[[Floor attack]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|[[Floor attack]]s deal consistent damage per hit (8%/6% → 6%).}}
| |
| | |
| ===Special moves===
| |
| *[[Rollout]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Rollout no longer causes [[helplessness]] when used in the air.}}
| |
| **{{buff|Rollout has much less recoil when hitting an opponent, reducing the chance of Jigglypuff SDing when hitting an opponent near an edge.}}
| |
| **{{buff|Jigglypuff can now slow down in the air by inputting in the opposite direction, reducing the chances of rolling offstage and SDing.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Grounded Rollout has considerably lower knockback scaling (120 → 100) and launches at a higher angle (20° → 30°), noticeably hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| **{{change|Jigglypuff does not vocalize during Rollout until it is fully charged.}}
| |
| *[[Pound]]:
| |
| **{{nerf|Pound deals less damage (13% → 11%), hindering its KO potential.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has more startup (frame 12 → 13) with a longer total duration (FAF 45 → 46).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It cannot be angled as much in the air.}}
| |
| *[[Sing]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Sing now counts as three separate hitboxes rather than one hitbox which respawns three times. This means that if the opponent shields the first wave, they can now get hit by the other waves.}}
| |
| **{{nerf|Sing has more startup, with its first two waves having shorter durations (frames 28-35, 69-76, 113-125 → 29-33, 73-77, 122-134), and now triggers [[counterattack]]s. It can also no longer reset the sleep duration of an already [[asleep]] opponent, preventing it from being used to indefinitely [[stall]] them out.}}
| |
| **{{change|Its soundwaves are now only yellow instead of being colorful. Jigglypuff also now opens its eyes once the song is over instead of opening them at the last part of the song.}}
| |
| *[[Rest]]:
| |
| **{{buff|Instead of using the [[flame]] effect, Rest applies a [[flower]] to the opponent, which causes much more damage (28% → 45%) if the opponent applies no [[button mashing]]. It also has one extra frame of [[intangibility]] (frames 1-26 → 1-27).}}
| |
| **{{nerf|It has more startup (frame 1 → 2), and deals significantly less initial damage (28% → 15%) along with less knockback (78 (base)/120 (scaling) → 100/75), greatly reducing its KO potential and overall utility.}}
| |
| **{{change|Rest launches opponents at a vertical angle ([[Sakurai angle|361°]] → 88°), increasing its safety onstage if it KOs the opponent, but hindering its safety offstage and further reducing its KO ability near edges.}}
| |
| **{{change|In the Japanese language, Jigglypuff gained a new voice clip for performing Rest again; the move's voice clip from ''Melee'' can still be heard when Jigglypuff is [[stun]]ned, though it is difficult to hear due to breaking its shield usually causes a [[self-destruct]].}}
| |
| *[[Puff Up]]:
| |
| **{{change|Jigglypuff now has a [[Final Smash]]: Puff Up. Jigglypuff rapidly inflates itself to a gargantuan size and launches all opponents near it horizontally while saying "Jiggly!" before quickly deflating back to its normal size.}}

| ===Stats===
| | A glitch has been discovered where Jigglypuff can stay in its massive size after the Final Smash is over. Strength and defense do not increase, and neither does knockback decrease. Jigglypuff is exactly the same, just gargantuan. Attack range is wider, however. The person who discovered this glitch calls it "Giga Jigglypuff". It is performed by jumping in the hole created in the Bridge of Eldin and activating Puff Up in midair there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL3JOy98WUE |

| |
|
| *{{Sm|C7A|France}} - The only solo Jigglypuff player to reach notable success with the character. Considered the best Jigglypuff player in Europe and was able to defeat high-level players there with the character.
| | S: "Jigglypuff? That some kind of marshmallow?" |
| *{{sm|Dapuffster|USA}} - Was unanimously considered the best Jigglypuff player, and besides being one of the very few legitimate Jigglypuff mains, was the only one good enough to gain beyond regional recognition purely off his abilities. Living in the murderously strong [[NY/NJ]] area however, he was never a PR contender, and he would eventually drop Jigglypuff for {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}.
| |
| *{{sm|Hungrybox|USA}} - While he never remotely approached his level of greatness in ''Melee'', he was a respectable player in ''Brawl'' despite using the drastically nerfed Jigglypuff and not having much practice in the game, being good enough to once get ranked on the [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Florida_Power_Rankings#September_2012.5B10.5D Florida Power Rankings] using Jigglypuff alongside {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Even when accounting for multi-character usage, no other player ever got ranked on a high level ''Brawl'' PR using Jigglypuff.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Tier placement and history===
| | C: "Jigglypuff is a balloon-shaped Pokémon. It may be light and puffy and full of air, but its [[Rest|Sleep]] ability is devastating." |
| Jigglypuff has always been seen as one of the worst characters in ''Brawl''; right away players noticed its significant nerfs to key attributes, and its terrible transitioning into ''Brawl''{{'}}s physics and gameplay changes. Over the years, despite Jigglypuff's still strong aerial game, air camping abilities, and recovery, metagame developments for Jigglypuff were startlingly barren. Jigglypuff was also perhaps the most unpopular character in ''Brawl'' competitive play, lacking the dedicated playerbase other low tier characters had, having barely any notable players, and was a very rare sight at even low level local tournaments with casual players. Jigglypuff's abysmal matchup spread further compounds this, with nearly all top- and high-tiered characters having multiple options to combat its abysmal approaches and overwhelm it in return. As such, Jigglypuff has always been ranked among the four worst characters in the game in all iterations of the BBR's tier list. Some players even believed Jigglypuff, rather than {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, was the worst character in the game, since the latter at least possesses a fearsome punish game and Ganondorf players have achieved notably better results despite his perceived overall worse matchup spread. In fact, the Japanese playerbase ranked Jigglypuff as the worst character on their [[Japanese tier list|tier list]], though the BBR did not follow suit in their final ''Brawl'' tier list, instead ranking Jigglypuff as the third worst character, above Ganondorf and {{SSBB|Zelda}}. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]==
| | S: "Sleep...? What's so devastating about it going to sleep?" |
| [[File:Jigglypuff Subspace Emissary Brawl.png|thumb|250px|Jigglypuff in ''[[SSE]]''.]]
| |
| Jigglypuff is an optional character in The Subspace Emissary, much like {{SSBB|Toon Link}} and {{SSBB|Wolf}}, who consequently does not have a role in the story.
| |
|
| |
|
| To unlock it, first the player must complete The Subspace Emissary, whereupon an extra door in [[The Swamp]] can be found that links to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where Jigglypuff is performing a song. Jigglypuff is then fought and, if defeated, is unlocked (if not already unlocked) and joins the player's party.
| | C: "The instant it falls asleep, there's a huge buildup of energy in its center of gravity. If it hits you, it's lights out for sure." |
|
| |
|
| ===Exclusive [[sticker]]s===
| | S: "So it puts a lot of energy into sleeping? Sounds pretty irresponsible if you ask me." |

The secret to the song's unfailing efficacy is Jigglypuff's ability to sing on the wavelength that will make its opponent the sleepiest. It also uses Attract to infatuate opponents who touch it. It uses a Moon Stone to evolve into {{pkmn|Wigglytuff}}.

| |desc=Jigglypuff's Final Smash. It wills its body to get bigger and bigger and bigger. It can't move, and it can't attack--all it can do is get bigger while everyone else looks on. However, it's invulnerable, and it overpowers all attacks to gradually push its opponents off the screen. It's a very simple technique, but how it's used determines its effectiveness.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *[[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that Jigglypuff, along with {{SSBB|Toon Link}} and {{SSBB|Wolf}}, were almost cut from ''Brawl'' due to time constraints and their late consideration for inclusion in the game, hence why they are excluded from and cannot be unlocked while playing through the main [[Subspace Emissary]] story.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/17/sakuraibrawlquestions/]</ref> | | *One of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes is Leaf's hat (Leaf is the female counterpart to Red, also known as [[Pokémon Trainer]], in the games Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen). Its fellow Pokémon [[Pikachu]], who has also appeared in all iterations of the Smash Bros. series, has Red's hat. Another one of Jigglypuff's alt. coustumes is Yellow's hat from the Manga. Yellow, AKA "The Yellow Caberello" from the Pokemon Manga has never been in any of the Pokemon games, and was a girl who disguised herself as a boy by hiding her Ponytail in a hat to protect her idenity while stopping the Elite Four from destroying the world. |
| **Jigglypuff is also the only veteran who does not have a Subspace Emissary role.
| | *Another one of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes is very simular to hat of [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]]'s Sleep Ability. Also in the original SSB and in SSBM, Kirby and Jigglypuff were the only 2 characters that had multiple midair jumps. In Brawl, 4 more characters had this ability ([[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]], [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]], [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]], and [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede]]). |
| ***Likely because of its late inclusion, there is an oddity with the [[character selection screen]] in The Subspace Emissary. While all other characters are ordered by when they joined the ''Smash'' series (minus {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} due to sharing a slot with {{SSBB|Samus}}), Jigglypuff is placed with the ''Brawl'' newcomers rather than with the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' veterans. | | *Jigglypuff, alongside [[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]] and [[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]], were leaked as playable characters in an official preview video before the game's release and before being revealed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website (see image on the right). But it should be noted Jigglypuff was accidentally leaked before in an interview with Solid Snake's voice actor, David Hayter. |
| *In the American and PAL versions, Jigglypuff has only two [[KO]] screams — one for a [[Star KO]] and another for a normal KO. Jigglypuff is the only character in ''Brawl'' to have a single blast line KO clip. | | *Jigglypuff can become the largest character in the game. Jigglypuff must use its Final Smash in the [[Bridge of Eldin]] while it is being rebuilt, and then pick up a [[Super Mushroom]], or be turned into an egg by [[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]]. |
| *Jigglypuff’s official artwork is nearly identical to its ''Melee'' [[Smabura-Ken]] artwork. The only difference is that its arms are pointed slightly inward rather than outward. | | *In some games bought, Jigglypuff's eyes are blue. In others, her eyes are green. |
| *In the Japanese version of ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff has some additional voice clips that don't have equivalents in the American/PAL versions:
| | *Unlike its previous appearances, Jigglypuff is no longer the easiest character to unlock. |
| **Jigglypuff vocalizes when using its first jump.
| | *Jigglypuff is the only veteran character to not have a role in the main story of the Subspace Emissary, being unlockable only after its completion. |
| **Jigglypuff contains two soft-damage yells and two hard-damage yells, the latter being used in the [[Super Smash Bros. 4|next game]].
| | [[Image:Giant_jigglypuff.jpg|100px|thumb|Jigglypuff while glitched on the Bridge of Eldin]] |
| **Jigglypuff uses two different voice clips when getting KO'd past the [[blast line]]s.
| | *When in Group Records, It shows the first 11 original characters. Jigglypuff is 4th to last on the chart when the scores are even. The same thing happens in the [[Sound Test]] although Jiggly is 5th to last. |
| *Most of Jigglypuff's voice clips were simple imports from ''Melee''. One voice clip, involving it screaming "Jiggly!", was imported and can be heard in the [[sound test]], but is not used by Jigglypuff at all in the game. | | *Jigglypuff is the only character without a fixed character event |
| *''Brawl'' is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game in which Jigglypuff does not have a bow as one of its costumes. | | *Along with the [[Pokemon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokemon Trainer]] (himself; not the Pokemon), [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]], and [[Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers]], Jigglypuff is one of the only characters to have a unique "Defeated/No Contest" pose different from the traditional hand clapping, with her tilting her head/body side to side. |
| **''Brawl'' is also the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game in which Jigglypuff uses its Shiny color for one of its costumes.
| | *Even when Jigglypuff is wearing the [[Bunny Hood]], [[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]] can still outrun her. |
| *Jigglypuff and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} are the only veterans who can no longer become helpless via any of their special moves in their transitions from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl''. Their helpless animations, which are carried over from ''Melee'', can be seen briefly during their [[air dodge]] animations. | | *Jigglypuff is the only character with one death cry. Every other character has two. |
| *Jigglypuff and {{SSBB|Luigi}} are the only characters that players are not forced to play as in single-player [[Event Matches]]. | |
| *Jigglypuff, along with Diddy Kong, Pokémon Trainer, and the Ice Climbers, are the only characters in ''Brawl'' that do not clap in the [[Results screen]] after losing or at the No Contest screen.
| |
| *Jigglypuff is the only character to have a slightly different [[damage meter]] portrait than their official artwork. The official artwork has it standing upright while the damage meter portrait has it tilted.
| |
| *''Brawl'' is the first game in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in which Jigglypuff cannot be unlocked after completing [[Classic Mode]] (or its ''Smash 64'' counterpart, [[1P Game]]) with any character. This unlock criteria is instead given to {{SSBB|Marth}}. | |
| *Jigglypuff's trophy description states that it uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Attract|move}} to infatuate opponents who touch it, which is incorrect. Attract is a status move that causes infatuation, while {{iw|bulbapedia|Cute Charm|Ability}} is an ability that causes infatuation on physical contact, and one which Jigglypuff can have. | |
| *A CPU Jigglypuff will repeatedly use [[Pound]] when it uses all it’s jumps but doesn’t get back to the stage.
