Jigglypuff is a character of extremes, as evident with its attributes: it has the 2nd fastest [[air speed]], the highest [[air acceleration]], the slowest [[falling speed]], and the lowest [[gravity]]. These attributes make Jigglypuff a very mobile character in the air. However, it also has the 3rd slowest [[walk]] and [[run speed]], the 6th slowest initial-dash, the 2nd lowest [[weight]] and [[jump]] force, and the 7th lowest [[traction]]. Collectively, these attributes render Jigglypuff unable to quickly traverse the stage on foot without relying on [[foxtrot]]ting, and susceptible to early KOs. To make up for its low jumping force, however, it has five [[midair jump]]s, which further enhance its aerial evasiveness. Its combination of light weight and floatiness results in Jigglypuff being fairly difficult to combo compared to most other characters, but conversely makes it fairly difficult for it to land onstage and escape a [[juggle]] without being forced to retreat offstage and grab the [[ledge]]. | Jigglypuff is a character of extremes, as evident with its attributes: it has the 2nd fastest [[air speed]], the highest [[air acceleration]], the slowest [[falling speed]], and the lowest [[gravity]].

Jigglypuff's main strength is its formidable air game. Excluding back aerial, all of its aerial attacks have lingering hitboxes, and back air especially is safe on shield when properly spaced. Their duration is the primary reason Jigglypuff is deceptively difficult to challenge in the air, as opponents will most likely collide within an attack's final frames if they attempt to challenge its moves. All of its aerials, aside from up aerial, also have enough range to be [[spacing|spaced]] effectively thanks to Jigglypuff's aerial mobility, allowing it to zone and [[approach]] opponents safely in the air. Each of Jigglypuff's aerials also have their own distinct strengths. Neutral aerial is its fastest aerial and a fairly strong [[sex kick]], even when stale, and can easily [[gimp]] poor recoveries due to its late hitbox being sufficiently strong enough to do so. Due to its speed and power, it also works as a good [[out of shield]] or approach option, and its long duration allows it to break combos quite effectively. Forward aerial has the second-weakest knockback of Jigglypuff's aerials, but this grants it good combo potential in return. It can easily force opponents off-stage and is the main component of the [[wall of pain]] technique: once an opponent is launched off-stage, Jigglypuff can follow up with several other forward aerials until they reach the blast zone, where Jigglypuff can finish the opponent off with another forward or a neutral aerial. Both neutral air and forward air can also [[lock]] with their late hits, and generally both attacks linger for a long time and are very useful for [[edgeguarding]]. Back aerial is Jigglypuff's strongest aerial, an effective KOing option, and has a remarkable range, given Jigglypuff's small size | Jigglypuff's main strength is its formidable air game.

Both neutral air and forward air can also [[lock]] with their late hits, and generally both attacks linger for a long time and are very useful for [[edgeguarding]]. Back aerial is Jigglypuff's strongest aerial, an effective KOing option, and has a remarkable range, given Jigglypuff's small size; similarly to {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, and {{SSBU|Chrom}}, the move also has the interesting trait of completely turning Jigglypuff around after its use. It is also safe on shield due to its high damage output and above-average hitlag, though it is also Jigglypuff's slowest aerial, making it a bit predictable. It also has a sweetspot closer to Jigglypuff's body, although this is difficult to hit due to the sourspot farther away taking priority. Up aerial has a deceptively long-lasting hitbox, which can be problematic for any opponent that has issues dealing with [[juggling]], and it is also a situational finisher near the upper blast line that combos into most of its toolkit if used while landing. Lastly, down aerial can be used as a highly damaging out of shield option, a combo tool, and a pressuring option, and has low ending lag. It can sometimes also work as an anti-juggling option against characters with slow aerial mobility or moves. As well, landing with it can lead into various other moves, allowing Jigglypuff to take stocks incredibly early, especially when factoring in the move's ability to [[autocancel]] and link into itself. | ||
Jigglypuff's unmatched floatiness, exceptional air speed, multiple jumps, and strong air game give it a tremendous off-stage presence. Due to lacking a traditional [[recovery]] move, its recovery is fairly susceptible to gimping if it has used its jumps, though its other attributes make its recovery very effective regardless. Its fast air acceleration also allows it to mix-up against opponents that attempt to [[edgeguard]] it. With the aid of [[Pound]], it can also stall its recovery and protect its landing. Jigglypuff is infamously fearsome at edgeguarding: with proper spacing and good timing, it can gimp even the farthest distanced recoveries without being put at risk; {{SSBU|Cloud}}, Chrom, {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, and {{SSBU|Min Min}} are perhaps the most susceptible to its edgeguarding, as their recoveries lack both speed and resilience, causing their performances against Jigglypuff to revolve around maintaining stage control as much as possible. | Jigglypuff's unmatched floatiness, exceptional air speed, multiple jumps, and strong air game give it a tremendous off-stage presence.
