 ==In competitive play==
-Ever since the beginning of the metagame, opinions on Jigglypuff's viability have been rather low, with most players, including {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, and {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, considering the character to be low-tier at best. This is because, although Jigglypuff was moderately improved in its transition from ''SSB4'', it still held exploitable weaknesses carried over from the previous game, with some players arguing that its matchup spread, neutral game, and KO options remain poor. Despite receiving buffs in patch 6.0.0, the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Arika}} and {{Sm|BassMage}}, and positive opinions from players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, and {{Sm|Maister}}, Jigglypuff saw see low representation and a slow-developing metagame both offline and online compared to other low-tier characters.
+During the early metagame, opinions on Jigglypuff's viability have been rather low, with most top players, including {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Zackray}}, considering the character to be low-tier at best. This is because, although Jigglypuff was moderately improved in its transition from ''SSB4'', it still held exploitable weaknesses carried over from the previous game, with some players arguing that its matchup spread, neutral game, and KO options remain poor.

-Since the return of offline events, however, there has been somewhat of a Jigglypuff renaissance as the character has begun to perform much better in tournaments. Most notably, {{Sm|BassMage}} has started to perform exceptionally well getting wins over numerous top players and even earned an impressive 13th at {{Trn|Low Tide City 2021}} and 5th at {{Trn|SWT: NA West Ultimate Regional Finals}}. Furthermore, it has received multiple buffs in patch 13.0.0 improving its down throw and back air while also granting it new kill confirms off of its jab. A few weeks after the patch, {{Sm|BassMage}} had his best tournament run yet getting an astounding 9th at {{Trn|Port Priority 6}} while beating {{Sm|Kurama}} and narrowly missing top 8 losing to {{Sm|Tweek}} Game 5. In Japan, {{Sm|Arika}} has also performed well getting 49th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}} while beating {{Sm|Kirihara}} in the process. At the moment, its tier placement remains highly debatable as it is unknown how much its buffs truly affected its standing. Nevertheless, most people agree that Jigglypuff is far superior to its iteration in ''SSB4'' where it was considered the worst character in the game for most of the game's lifespan.
+Following the return of offline events, however, there has been a Jigglypuff renaissance thanks to the continued efforts of Arika and BassMage. BassMage especially began traveling more often and has not only placed highly at a couple major tournaments, but has defeated, and went neck-to-neck, with several top players as well. The improved results, along with additional buffs, helped the character's perception shift in a positive direction. At the moment, its tier placement continues to be highly debatable as it is unknown how long the strong results will continue, or how much its buffs would truly affect its standing. Nevertheless, most people agree that Jigglypuff is far superior to its iteration in ''SSB4'' where it was considered the worst character in the game for most of the game's lifespan.
