(Added some uses of down air that are pivotal to landing edgeguards or kills by mentioning at high percents it can lead into a grab or up smash due to the "weird' nature the move can sometimes put opponents in (a kind of stationary tumble?))

Jigglypuff is in the S tier at 3rd place on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], a significant improvement from its previous incarnation, making ''Melee'' the only title where Jigglypuff is a top tier instead of bottom-, low- or mid-tier, and thus by far its best placement in the series. Jigglypuff possesses an incredible recovery, an extremely dangerous [[edgeguarding]] technique in the [[wall of pain]], an array of moves that can combo into [[Rest]], a powerful KO move, and an overall great aerial game and developed metagame. Its floatiness also makes it the only character in the top tier who cannot be easily comboed or chaingrabbed, which is also aided by its small size, which allows Jigglypuff to avoid most KO setups that most other characters would fall vulnerable to. However, Jigglypuff still has problems. It is light and floaty, making it easier to KO with stray moves or certain low percentage setups than other characters. Jigglypuff's options on the ground are also limited due to its poor range and lack of a projectile. It also has a slow walking speed and dashing speed, making ineffective at fighting at a grounded state, which is compounded with a poor dash dance. Jigglypuff's neutral game is also largely committal, as it is less consistent than that of other top-tiered characters; instead, it relies on its lethal punishes, edgeguards, and aerial mobility to succeed. Recent developments in the ''Melee'' metagame have also worsened Jigglypuff's matchups against other top-tier characters, such as {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{SSBM|Falco}}. Despite this, Jigglypuff still possesses a vast number of winning matchups, with Fox being the only character in the game it loses to, along with even matchups with only three other characters.
