In recent years, {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} professionals have had much stronger performances against Jigglypuff at the highest levels of play. Marth is also now considered to have an even, or only slightly losing (at worst) matchup against Jigglypuff; Marth professionals such as {{Sm|PewPewU}} and {{Sm|Zain}} have shown that Marth can heavily punish Jigglypuff after a grab, utilizing [[pivoting]] to land guaranteed tipper forward smashes to KO it, while pushing their space advantage in the [[neutral game]] much more than before. While Captain Falcon is still considered to lose to Jigglypuff, the matchup is much closer than originally perceived. {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} has shown that Captain Falcon has good chances with the matchup, utilizing a much more conservative playstyle that abuses Captain Falcon's speed to avoid Jigglypuff's threat zone. He has even turned Jigglypuff's best stage ([[Dream Land]]) against it, showing that Jigglypuff is not fast enough to chase Captain Falcon on that stage, and has difficulty contesting him if he camps the top platform. | In recent years, {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} professionals have had much stronger performances against Jigglypuff at the highest levels of play.
