==Overview==
==Overview==
Jigglypuff charges up by spinning on the spot, with the graphical effects around it gradually increasing in intensity. When released, it rolls along the ground at a high speed, and can be reversed while on the ground. When landed it deals 7-14% damage depending on the speed, and when at full strength possesses moderate KOing potential.

However, the move does have some usefulness, although generally it is very situational. Firstly, hitting a shield while on the ground will not stop the move, so Jigglypuff can then reverse the move, pressuring the opponent into holding their shield, to hit it again. In some circumstances, it may even be possible to hit the shield a third time, which if the move is fully charged will likely break the shield. Furthermore the move can be used to punish opponents attempting to land onstage from a distance, by timing the move so that it reaches the opponent just as they are about to enter landing lag. Finally, the move can be used to bait the opponent to attempt to counter it, and by reversing the direction of the move (which temporarily removes its hitbox) just as Jigglypuff is about to hit the opponent, it can safely roll behind them, then turn and hit them during the ending lag of the counter.

Overall, however, the move's flaws are considered to greatly outweigh its potential usefulness, resulting in the move very rarely being used in competitive play.
