'''BassMage''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}} main from Arizona who is considered the greatest Jigglypuff player of all-time, and one of Jigglypuff's first known players in competitive play. Though active in the early metagame with some noteworthy results at {{Trn|Ascension|series}} events, BassMage's breakout event took place at {{Trn|Low Tide City 2021}} where he placed 13th, the first time a Jigglypuff player had placed this high at a major. Since then, BassMage has seen many other incredible Jigglypuff performances, including placing top 8 at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 4}}, {{Trn|MAJOR UPSET}}, and {{Trn|Battle of BC 6}}, and as such helped shift Jigglypuff's metagame and perception in a positive direction.

BassMage is a player that wants to keep his advantage state for as long as possible with Jigglypuff, as he consistently looks for ways to get the opponent offstage. For example, he uses [[forward throw]] since the base knockback is high so he can set up for an edgeguard and using Jigglypuff's threatening presence offstage and strong edgeguarding capabilities. Besides looking for edgeguards, BassMage is known for his setups into rest using Jigglypuff's down air to start combos and loops and using up air and pound for confirms into rest. This alone makes BassMage a threat to face both on and offstage. However, when he's on the brink of losing a set, he becomes considerably more nervous and often fishes for [[Pound]] or [[Rest]] combos in order to make a comeback. This leads to him becoming significantly more predictable under pressure.

That makes BassMage a threat to face both on and offstage.
