'''Jigglypuff''' | '''Jigglypuff''' '',( Purin in Japan) | ||
is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was revealed alongside the fellow ''Pokémon'' fighter {{SSBU|Pichu}} and the rest of [[veteran]]s on June 12th, 2018. Like in its appearances prior to {{forwiiu}}, it is [[unlockable character|unlockable]], instead of being available from the [[starter character|start]]. Jigglypuff is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #12]], the last fighter number of the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' [[veteran]]s. | |||

Virginie Demians and Dina Kuerten's portrayals of Jigglypuff from ''Brawl'' were reused in the French and German versions. | ||
Jigglypuff is ranked 60th out of 82 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it at the end of the C+ tier. This is a great improvement over its last place ranking in ''Smash 4''. Jigglypuff's strength lies in its superb aerial game, which is the result of long-lasting [[Aerial attack|aerials]] that, combined with its excellent air mobility and multiple [[jump]]s, can be used to wall out its opponents offstage. Jigglypuff also has a much easier time killing due to its quicker KO options, new KO setups, and more reliable [[Rest]] combos. Rest itself has more knockback and less endlag if Jigglypuff lands it, allowing Jigglypuff to escape potential punishes. Finally, Jigglypuff's ground game has been improved: its [[jab]] can confirm into [[back aerial]] or [[dash attack]] at high percents, its [[up tilt]] can combo into its other aerials and even Rest in some scenarios, and its [[forward throw]] can send opponents at a low angle, making it easier for Jigglypuff to utilize its strong edgeguards. | Jigglypuff is ranked 60th out of 82 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it at the end of the C+ tier.

Update 2.0.0 granted minor lag reductions to its forward tilt and back aerial, more knockback to down tilt, more damage to up smash's sourpot, and a more favorable launching angle to forward throw. Jigglypuff received more substantial buffs from update 6.0.0. Its air dodges had their ending lag noticeably decreased, which makes them safer and improves Jigglypuff's recovery and defense. Forward throw's launching angle was lowered once again, which further improved it as a setup for edge guards. The most notable buffs, however, were down aerial's decreased vulnerability and [[Pound]]'s increased hitstun, both of which improve Jigglypuff's combo game and even allow for new KO confirm setups into [[Rest]]. | ||
After many inconsequential patches, Jigglypuff was buffed once again in update 13.0.0. Back air and the second hit of neutral attack had their endlag decreased, along with decreasing the former's landing lag, improving their safety and combo potential. Down throw had its knockback decreased, giving it combo potential on the biggest of characters at very low percents. The decreased ending lag on its jab notably turned it in a reliable combo tool, granting Jigglypuff access to a "jair" (jab 2 to back aerial) kill confirm | After many inconsequential patches, Jigglypuff was buffed once again in update 13.0.0.

Some top players agree that the buffs have strengthened Jigglypuff's punish game, with players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} expressing more interest in the character and playing the game more competitively due to these buffs. | Some top players agree that the buffs have strengthened Jigglypuff's punish game, with players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} expressing more interest in the character and playing the game more competitively due to these buffs. | ||
Overall, Jigglypuff stands far better than it was at release, going from a bottom 10 character to a solid mid-tier character. | Overall, Jigglypuff stands far better than it was at release, going from a bottom 10 character to a solid mid-tier character. | ||

Jigglypuff's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} | Jigglypuff's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Jigglypuff has been unlocked. Unlocking Jigglypuff in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Its fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with its artwork in ''Ultimate''. | ||
