'''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin''), stylized as '''JIGGLYPUFF''' in Europe, is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

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. However, 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. | Jigglypuff is ranked 36th on the ''Super Smash Bros.

===Tier placement and history=== | ===Tier placement and history=== | ||
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}}. | 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.

==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]== | |||
[[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. | |||
