Jigglypuff (SSBB): Difference between revisions

'''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin''), stylized as '''JIGGLYPUFF''' in Europe, is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Confirmation of its appearance in ''Brawl'', along with its fellow veteran {{SSBB|Ness}} and the newcomer {{SSBB|Lucario}}, were [[List of leaks#Lucario/Jigglypuff/Ness leak|leaked]] before the game's release through a promotional video on the Japanese Wii website about [[sticker]] power ups; it was later officially [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden10.html confirmed] via {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} on March 25, 2008.

Jigglypuff is ranked 36th on the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' tier list in the bottom tier, an extreme drop from 3rd 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.

*In the American and PAL versions, Jigglypuff has only two [[KO]] screams — one for a [[Star KO]] and another for a normal KO. Jigglypuff is the only character in ''Brawl'' to have a single blast line KO clip.

*Jigglypuff’s official artwork is nearly identical to its ''Melee'' [[Smabura-Ken]] artwork. The only difference is that its arms are pointed slightly inward rather than outward.

**Jigglypuff vocalizes when using its first jump.

**Jigglypuff contains two soft-damage yells and two hard-damage yells, the latter being used in the [[Super Smash Bros. 4|next game]].
