'''Jigglypuff''', known in Japan as '''Purin''' ({{ja|プリン}}, ''Purin''), is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Jigglypuff visually appears unchanged from past Smash Bros. games, though has suffered a large [[nerf]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
REMINDER: Our Manual of Style states that all Pokémon are to use gender-neutral pronouns.
-->
'''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 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 35th on the current ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' tier list due to several factors. The main such factor is its cripplingly reduced speed from ''Melee'', in addition to its nerfed finishers such as Rest, which instead of KOing under 25% like it did in ''Melee'', it doesn't reliably KO until around 75%, and the reduced hitstun in ''Brawl'', meaning that it can no longer combo as easily as before and making it more difficult to rack up damage. Such factors combine to result in generally poor match-ups in spite of its incredible air mobility and strong edge guarding game.
 
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.

The player must then defeat Jigglypuff on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].


==Attributes==
==Attributes==
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's fighting style is unique as it will spend most of its time in midair, as it is designed to be the ultimate midair brawler. With 6 jumps, combined with the second fastest [[air speed]] (only second to [[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]]), the slowest [[falling speed]], and [[Rising Pound]], Jigglypuff dominates in aerial combat, and with its forward aerial and back aerial moves, it allows for it to use the [[Wall of Pain]] technique very effectively allowing opponents to be KOed at low percentages by being juggled off-screen. Jigglypuff's excellent aerial maneuverability and sliding DACUS make up for its slow dash speed (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 screen, and Jigglypuff is the easiest character to KO. However its light weight (combined with being floaty and small) also makes it immune to most [[chaingrab]]s (with the exception of the few ones that are effective against floaty characters). Although it is immune to most chaingrabs, its air release sends almost no horizontal distance at all (though it's high vertically and can move one frame before anyone else's air release) allowing grab release combos by several characters.
 
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]]).
 
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.
 
==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.
 
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''.
 
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Jigglypuff has a more subdued color scheme. Its eyes are a brighter teal, its hair curl at the end became smaller, and its feet became slightly larger.}}
*{{change|All of Jigglypuff's movements now make a squeaky, rubbery, and puffy sound (including midair jumps and attacks).}}
*{{change|Jigglypuff is significantly less vocal. It no longer vocalizes while taking knockback or during its first jump. This doesn't apply to the Japanese version, however.}}
**{{change|One of Jigglypuff's high knockback voice clips from ''Melee'' has been moved to [[Puff Up]].}}
*{{change|Jigglypuff's yellow crown from ''Melee'' is replaced by the [[bulbapedia:Leaf (game)|female protagonist]]'s hat from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}''.}}
 
===Attributes===
*{{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.}}
*{{change|Jigglypuff's [[gravity]] is lower (0.064 → 0.05056).}}
**{{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.}}
*{{buff|Jigglypuff is significantly heavier (60 → 68), which improves its horizontal survivability, although with the absence of Pichu, it is now the lightest character in the game again.}}
*{{change|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.}}
*{{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).}}
*{{nerf|In a similar vein to {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, the removal of [[light shield]] hinders significantly Jigglypuff's shield size and makes easier to punish if Jigglypuff if Jigglypuff uses constantly shield, increasing the chances to break Jigglypuff's shield.}}
*{{nerf|the removal of [[wavedashing]] hinders significantly Jigglypuff's ground approach as Jigglypuff no longer can improve it's speed in the ground for compensating it's awful ground speed , worsening it's offensive options on the ground.}}
 
===Ground attacks===
*[[Neutral attack]]:
**{{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.}}
**{{nerf|Its first hit has more ending lag (FAF 16 → 17).}}
*[[Forward tilt]]:
**{{nerf|Forward tilt has more startup lag (frame 6 → 7).}}
*[[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===
Jigglypuff has many attacks with good [[priority]] and 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]], 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 attack]]s, can be predictable and could lead to a self-destruct, if not careful. 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 Smash Moves, though they are quite laggy, though strong nonetheless. 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]]), though its shield size is very large.  
*{{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.}}
*{{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]]:
Jigglypuff is a character of extremes, having the slowest falling rate, the second-fastest air speed, the lightest weight, and the slowest dash speed. This makes playing against it different from playing against any other character.
**{{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).}}
**{{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===
One of the most well-known features of Jigglypuff is likely the fact that it has the slowest falling speed in the game (much like Fox having the fastest falling acceleration in the game). This is both advantageous and disadvantageous. Some of the pros of this are it allows for techniques such as the [[Wall of Pain]], as well as having amazing recovery ability, and being able to remain airborne when there are troubles on the ground. The downside is that when Jigglypuff needs to land, other characters, can run to beneath it and [[juggle]] it. However, this can be overcoming by using attacks to land, such as rollout or back aerial. The 2nd disadvantage is that when fast-falling is advantageous, in up-drafts, or scrolling stages, Jigglypuff can be KOed off the top easily. The 3rd disadvantage is that it makes a character much more vulnerable to vertical KO, making Jigglypuff very easy to KO at any part of the screen. The 4th disadvantage is that it makes its recovery (although it travels much distance) predictable and fairly easily edge-guarded.
*[[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===
===Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''===
*[[Rollout]]:
As mentioned before, Jigglypuff suffered a large nerf. Jigglypuff's rest special move has significantly less knockback and initial damage (it can no longer KO at almost any damage percent), but adds a flower on the opponent's head instead of having a fiery effect, which can make much more damage in total than in Melee. Jigglypuff's forward and down aerials are stronger, but its back, neutral and up aerials were weakened between games and its down aerial can no longer be used for edgeguarding. [[Rollout]] now has two stages of being "fully charged": 'Fully Charged' and 'Super Charged'. Rollout also no longer puts Jigglypuff into a [[helpless]] state if used in the air. Jigglypuff has greater air control now due to having faster midair acceleration (although it's now second to [[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]]) and slower falling speed (which makes its midair jumps give more distance). Jigglypuff is no longer tied with Zelda for having the slowest dash speed (due to Zelda's dash speed increasing). On the upside, it is heavier than it was in ''Melee'' (although it is now the lightest character, which may make it seem like its weight has decreased). One minor change is that Jigglypuff's pound now has strictly vertical knockback (as opposed to it previously knocking the opponent up and behind Jigglypuff). Another minor change is that Jigglypuff's down throw now only does damage when the opponent is thrown, not during the rolling part of the attack.
**{{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 and significantly higher ending lag, 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.}}


==Moveset==
Jigglypuff also received some cosmetic changes. The biggest cosmetic change is that almost all of Jigglypuff's movements now make a squeaky, rubbery, and puffy sound (including midair jumps and attacks). Another cosmetic change is yellow sound waves appear around Jigglypuff when sing is used instead of colorful sound waves. Jigglypuff also doesn't open its eyes in the last part of the song, instead only opening them when the song is over. Jigglypuff's blue and green costumes have changed. Blue is now a sunhat, and green is now a nightcap. Jigglypuff also has a new costume which is a white hat with a bit of pink, based on the female trainer's hat from [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']].

|char=Jigglypuff
*[[Back aerial]] - Spins once backward and kicks. Does 12% damage. Also good for [[Wall of Pain]] and [[stage spiking]], but for higher percentages are needed for KO's from it. Hits on frame 8-11.
|game=SSBB}}
*[[Up aerial]] - Waves once upward, has good duration. Does 9% damage. Low knockback up to 100% means that it useful for combos. Knockback readily increases after 100%. Hits on frame 8-16.
*[[Down aerial]] - Spinning drill kick. Does 16% maximum damage and can lead into a [[rest]]. Start-up of 5 frames. First few hitboxes that are on the inside have meteor smash hitboxes.

*{{Sm|C7A|France}} - The only solo Jigglypuff player to reach notable success with the character, placing 33rd at {{Trn|Bushido Brawl Impact}}, tied for Jigglypuff's highest placing at a major. Considered the best Jigglypuff player in Europe and was considered to be one of the best Jigglypuff players in the world.
===Exclusive stickers===
*{{sm|Dapuffster|USA}} - Was considered the best Jigglypuff player in the world, placing 33rd at {{Trn|Pound 4}}, tied for Jigglypuff's highest placing at a major. He was one of the few good enough to gain recognition as a Jigglypuff player 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===
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}}.
 
==In Solo Modes==
==={{SSBB|Classic Mode}}===
In Classic Mode, Jigglypuff can appear as an opponent or ally in Stage 3 if it has been unlocked along with {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{SSBB|Lucario}} on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or [[Spear Pillar]] (with the latter available if it has been unlocked). Jigglypuff can also appear as an opponent in Stage 11, but only if it hasn't appeared in Stage 3.
 
===[[All-Star Mode]]===
In All-Star Mode, Jigglypuff is fought in Stage 18 alongside {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{SSBB|Lucario}} on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] or [[Spear Pillar]] (with the latter available if it has been unlocked).
 
===[[Event Match]]es===
====Solo Events====
*'''[[Event 29: All-Star Semifinal Regulars]]''': Jigglypuff is one of the opponents fought in this event. All opponents are characters that were unlockable from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' game.
*'''[[Event 35: The Visitor to Flat Zone]]''': As {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, the player must defeat {{SSBB|Peach}}, {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, and Jigglypuff on [[Flat Zone 2]]. All three opponents have the "Game & Watch" effect on their models.
 
====Co-Op Events====
*'''[[Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback]]''': Jigglypuff and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, who are tiny, must defeat {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Ness}}, who are giant, on [[Castle Siege]]. As the stage changes to different backgrounds, Jigglypuff will grow and Lucas and Ness will shrink.
*'''[[Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle]]''': Both players select a character and take on the entire roster on {{SSBB|Battlefield}}.

==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>
*Jigglypuff is the only veteran character to not have a role in the main story of ''Subspace Emissary'', being unlockable only after its completion.
**Jigglypuff is also the only veteran who does not have a Subspace Emissary role.
*One of Jigglypuff's taunts involves it deflating and floating to the ground before re-inflating. This is based on Jigglypuff's faint animation in battles on the consoles-based Pokémon games (e.g. ''Pokémon Stadium'').
***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.
*Despite the fact that Jigglypuff is usually unlocked first in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Jigglypuff is one of the last characters to be unlocked in ''Brawl''.
*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 has only two [[KO]] screams: one for a [[Star KO]] and a normal [[KO]].
*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.
*Jigglypuff and Luigi are the only characters not to be playable in an event unless chosen. Coincidentally, these two characters are also the only two that are unlockable in every Smash Bros. game.
*In the Japanese version of ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff has some additional voice clips that don't have equivalents in the American/PAL versions:
*Jigglypuff is the only character to have any of its nerfed attributes mentioned on Dojo!!, which said that Rest's power (in both damage and knockback) has reduced.
**Jigglypuff vocalizes when using its first jump.
*Jigglypuff's "head sprite" in Brawl is the only one that shows the whole character's body. [[Mr. Game and Watch (SSBM)|Mr. Game and Watch's]] "head sprite" in Melee also showed his whole body, but it was changed in Brawl.
**Jigglypuff contains two soft-damage yells and two hard-damage yells, the latter being used in the [[Super Smash Bros. 4|next game]].
*Jigglypuff is one of several characters that are affected by the [[Bridge of Eldin glitch]].
**Jigglypuff uses two different voice clips when getting KO'd past the [[blast line]]s.
*Jigglypuff, along with Diddy Kong, Pokémon Trainer, and Ice Climbers, are the only characters that do not clap on the "Defeated/No Contest" Screen.
*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.
*''Brawl'' is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game in which Jigglypuff does not have a bow as one of its costumes.
**It is also the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game in which Jigglypuff uses its Shiny color for one of its costumes.
*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 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 its jumps but doesn't get back to the stage.
