Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Jigglypuff: Difference between revisions

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|The animation where Jigglypuff looks back is an [[idle pose]] rather than being a part of its main animation, although it reuses its idle animation from past games when holding a small item.}}

*{{change|Jigglypuff is slightly more expressive, using a wider variety of expressions rather than simply smiling. For instance, it appears angry when throwing an opponent or charging its side smash, and it has a pained look when shielding.}}

*{{change|Jigglypuff's ears fold slightly inward when using [[Rollout]] or [[Rest]].}}

*{{change|Jigglypuff has two new [[victory pose]]s:}}

**{{change|It jumps twice, spins around, and assumes a pose similar to its render from ''SSB4''.}}

**{{change|It runs into the scene, does a backflip, and assumes a pose similar to its official art from ''Pokémon Yellow Version''.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Like all characters, Jigglypuff's [[jumpsquat]] animation takes 3 frames to complete (down from 6).}}

**{{buff|Jigglypuff's initial [[dash]] is faster (1.4 → 1.65).}}

*{{nerf|Forward [[roll]] grants less [[intangibility]] (frames 4-17 → 4-15).}}

*{{nerf|Back roll has slower startup with less intangibility (frames 4-17 → 5-16), and more ending lag ([[FAF]] 31 → 36).}}

*{{change|The homogenization of fall speeds during vertical knockback significantly improves Jigglypuff's survivability, but makes it considerably more susceptible to combos.}}

*{{buff|Jigglypuff arguably benefits most from the weakening of the [[rage]] mechanic, increasing its endurance.}}

===Ground attacks===

**{{nerf|The late hit has less knockback scaling (100 → 83).}}

**{{change|It has a new animation where Jigglypuff's face is angled toward the screen with its limbs more elegantly spread.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{buff|Forward smash deals more damage (15% → 16% (clean), 12% → 14% (late)), with knockback scaling mostly compensated only on the clean hit (115 → 110), improving its KO potential.}}

===Aerial attacks===

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{buff|Neutral aerial's clean hit uses an extended hitbox with better placement and horizontal reach (Z offset: 8u → 9u-10u).}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial has better hitbox placement and horizontal reach (Z offset: 9u → 10u).}}

*[[Back aerial]]:

**{{nerf|Back air turns Jigglypuff around after its use, akin to {{SSBU|Marth}}'s back aerial. This is an overall nerf to the move, as Jigglypuff can no longer repeatedly use back air in the same direction. This makes it harder to land compared to other aerials.}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{buff|Jigglypuff's has a significantly increased fall speed (0.98 → 2.00) and gravity while falling during the ending of Rollout. As a result, it has much less ending lag on hit (FAF 73 → 53).}}

***{{buff|Due to this, Jigglypuff is able to move after hitting an opponent with Rollout in the air, like in ''Brawl'', preventing it from [[self-destruct]]ing if the move is landed offstage.}}

**{{nerf|Grass terrain no longer allows for faster turning while using Rollout, but ice terrain still prevents turning.}}

**{{nerf|Rollout can no longer be held indefinitely, instead being unleashed automatically one second after it becomes fully charged.}}

**{{nerf|Jigglypuff can no longer retain Rollout's full power when releasing it in the air and reversing it immediately.}}

**{{nerf|After reversing twice, Rollout deals less damage than normal.}}

**{{change|The aerial version launches at the same angle as the grounded version (90° → 30°).}}

**{{change|Jigglypuff's rolling animation speed scales with size, so that it better matches the speed Jigglypuff moves along the ground, which is unaffected by size.}}

*[[Pound]]:

**{{buff|Pound has less ending lag (FAF 46 → 40) and has gained a [[hitstun modifier]] of 2, allowing it to true combo into other moves (including [[Rest]]), and slightly boost Jigglypuff's vertical recovery without use of a ledge.}}

**{{buff|It has more range when used in the air.}}

**{{nerf|Jigglypuff can no longer accelerate in the air during the startup of Pound when acting out of a previous Pound before the animation ends, making consecutive Pounds to recover much less effective.}}

*[[Sing]]:

**{{buff|All of Sing's hits have less startup lag (hit 1: frame 29 → 27, hit 2: 73 → 61, hit 3: 122 → 100).}}

**{{buff|It has more knockback scaling (30/10 → 40/30), putting opponents to [[sleep]] for longer as a result. Combined with its lower ending lag, opponents can no longer wake up before Jigglypuff can act.}}

**{{buff|Jigglypuff can move slightly while using Sing in the air.}}

*[[Rest]]:

**{{buff|Rest has significantly less ending lag, especially if it hits (FAF 230 → 210 (miss), 187 (hit)), reducing the risk of respawning opponents punishing Jigglypuff after getting KOed by the move.}}

**{{change|Puff Up is much faster than the previous games. When it ends, Jigglypuff aesthetically "pops", and then deflates to normal size, mimicking a balloon. Jigglypuff additionally shrinks considerably faster at the end. It also has an angry expression while inflating, resembling the face the Jigglypuff from the anime makes when someone falls asleep after it sings.}}

**{{buff|The damage of Puff Up, previously 17% in a single hit, has been split into two hits that deal 10% and 25% damage, respectively.}}
