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

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 Kürten 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''.

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 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. Brawl'' tier list in the bottom tier, an extreme drop from 3rd in the ''Melee'' tier list. Jigglypuff possesses incredible [[air speed|air mobility]], a good aerial game, one of the strongest edge guarding games, and one of the best recoveries in ''Brawl''. However, the reason for its huge tier drop is its terrible transition to ''Brawl''{{'}}s physics (like {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, Jigglypuff's comboing ability was more reliant on [[hitstun]] than other characters). 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 act out of hitstun and the reduced [[falling speed]]s (acting out of hitstun also prevents comboing into it). In addition to this, Jigglypuff has terrible [[reach]] in most of its attacks, one of the worst ground games (a combination of poor reach, slow ground speed, and terrible ground attacks), the worst endurance of any character in ''Brawl'' (exacerbated by ''Brawl''{{'}}s defensive play), most of its attacks being punishable on landing at low percents (combination of low base knockback in its attacks and high ending lag), and poor air to ground transitioning due to its floaty falling speed that prevent it from approaching safely in many match-ups. Such factors combine to result in terrible [[matchup]]s (including seven hard {{b|counter|matchup}}s) and [[tournament]] results. As a result of its huge nerfs to its strongest traits and terrible transitioning to ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff holds distinction of having the largest tier list drop between ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Jigglypuff's position in Europe and Japan is worse than it is in America. In America, it is ranked as the 3rd worst character. In Europe and Japan, it is ranked as the 2nd and worst character in the game respectively.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
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.

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.

{{SSBBMatchupTable|jigglypuff=yes}}
Jigglypuff has one of the worst matchups in ''Brawl''. It only counters {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} and goes even with three characters. However, it gets soft countered by nine characters, countered by sixteen, and hard countered by seven. Jigglypuff generally struggles dealing with characters who can outrange ({{SSBB|Marth}}, {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}), and camp ({{SSBB|Olimar}} and {{SSBB|Snake}}) it. Jigglypuff only has managable matchups against characters who also have terrible approaching games or equally terrible disadvantage states. In short, nearly every character in the game can negate Jigglypuff’s good aerial game.

===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}}.

***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 grouped with the other late-inclusions following the initial ''Brawl'' newcomers rather than with the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' veterans.
