On the ground, Jigglypuff should move forward in the air with each attack, then once the opponent is hit, move back to the place where the Wall of pain was started. This allows for quick attacks and keeps Jigglypuff out of [[range]] from any retaliations. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', this is done by interspacing Jigglypuff's [[back aerial]] with [[jump]]s while moving off the stage, utilizing Jigglypuff's superior air maneuverability to always land a hit with each spin kick. | |||
In ''Brawl'', the back aerial has lost its [[knockback]], and the [[forward aerial]] has had its increased, which allows for an easier WoP, since Jigglypuff does not need to face backward. Therefore, when on the ground, or working up damage, the back aerial WoP is utilized to keep the forward aerial fresh, but for juggling off the stage at higher [[damage]], the forward aerial, with greater knockback, works better. [[Stale-move negation]] means that switching between the two, if possible, has a greater effect. [[Pound]] can be incorporated into the WoP if used solely for working up damage. | In ''Brawl'', the back aerial has lost its [[knockback]], and the [[forward aerial]] has had its increased, which allows for an easier WoP, since Jigglypuff does not need to face backward.

Wolf, Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bayonetta, however, can perform similar techniques. Some other characters, such as {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} in ''Melee'', may have "pseudo-Wall of Pains" with similar outcomes, which however are not based on a back air. | ||

In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Kirby}} can use a similar technique to the Wall of Pain with his back air. Called the '''Fence of Pain''', due to having more "holes" than Jigglypuff's Wall of Pain, the technique is arguably Kirby's most powerful in his otherwise weak ''Melee'' metagame. | In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Kirby}} can use a similar technique to the Wall of Pain with his back air.

Kirby is still capable of performing a wall of pain in ''Smash 4'' using his forward aerial, sometimes being able to carry opponents entirely off-stage from 0 percent. This wall of pain requires proper reading of the opponent's trajectory to use, and typically won't work against fast-fallers or those with high air speed. | Kirby is still capable of performing a wall of pain in ''Smash 4'' using his forward aerial, sometimes being able to carry opponents entirely off-stage from 0 percent.
