During the early metagame, opinions on Jigglypuff's viability were rather low, with most top players, including {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Zackray}}, considering the character to be low-tier at best, because, although Jigglypuff 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 remained 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 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 were rather low, with most top players, including {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Zackray}}, considering the character to be low-tier at best, because, although Jigglypuff 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 remained poor.

BassMage began traveling more often, and has not only placed highly at 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. Due to its steadily improving results, numerous buffs, and widespread representation, Jigglypuff is generally considered a mid-tier character, although its exact placement is still up for debate. 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. | ||
