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 Kuerten 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''. | 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.

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, one of the strongest edge guarding games, and one of the best recoveries in ''Brawl''. However, the reason for its huge tier drop is its terrible transition to ''Brawl''{{'}}s physics (like {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, Jigglypuff's comboing ability was more reliant on [[hitstun]] than other characters). 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 act out of hitstun and the reduced [[falling speed]]s (acting out of hitstun also prevents comboing into it). In addition to this, Jigglypuff has terrible [[reach]] in most of its attacks, one of the worst ground games (a combination of poor reach, slow ground speed, and terrible ground attacks), the worst endurance of any character in ''Brawl'' (exacerbated by ''Brawl''{{'}}s defensive play), most of its attacks being punishable on landing at low percents (combination of low base knockback in its attacks and high ending lag), and poor air to ground transitioning due to its floaty falling speed that prevent it from approaching safely in many match-ups. Such factors combine to result in terrible [[matchup]]s (including seven hard {{b|counter|matchup}}s) and [[tournament]] results. As a result of its huge nerfs to its strongest traits and terrible transitioning to ''Brawl'', Jigglypuff holds distinction of having the largest tier list drop between ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Jigglypuff's position in Europe and Japan is worse than it is in America. In America, it is ranked as the 3rd worst character. In Europe and Japan, it is ranked as the 2nd and worst character in the game respectively. | ||
