Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Pokémon
Other playable appearances	in SSB in Melee in Brawl
Availability	Unlockable (3DS) Starter (Wii U)
Final Smash	Puff Up

Jigglypuff is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4, first confirmed by a leaker's Twitch stream, was later leaked again in an official Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot on the offical website, was shown several times throughout the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Nintendo Direct, shown in some pictures of the day, and was finally officially confirmed on November 5, 2014. It is also featured in the opening movie. It retains Puff Up as its Final Smash. Its model has been updated to match recent appearances, notably Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. It is, like most other characters, more expressive than in previous iterations. It has brighter, more cyan colored eyes, which are also much smaller than in previous iterations and farther apart from each other, and a wider, higher-positioned mouth.

Changes from Brawl

Jigglypuff has been buffed from Brawl, although not quite back to its strength from Melee.

• Neutral attack and up tilt have been sped up.
• Up tilt, forward tilt, down throw and up throw do 1% more damage.
• Neutral air, back aerial, up smash and back throw deal 1% more damage and have more knockback.
• Forward throw deals 1% more damage and has slightly shorter endlag.
• Dash grab has less ending lag.
• Rest is significantly stronger than in Brawl, though not quite back to its Melee power. Due to the changes in hitstun mechanics, Jigglypuff can now perform true combos into Rest, greatly improving its utility once again. Rest also deals more damage.
• Dash attack has less ending lag and is stronger.
• Up air has more reach.
• Back aerial is drastically more powerful to the point where it can reliably KO under 120%.
  • Because of this, it loses some of its Wall of pain ability.
• Pound deals more shield damage.
  • Pound has lost some of its momentum, losing some of its horizontal recovery
• Forward air does less damage.
• Rollout deals much less damage and knockback.
  • Jigglypuff can no longer move in midair after striking an opponent.
• Now uses its other arm to Pummel, instead of its hair curl.
• Puff Up now makes Jigglypuff grow so much, it almost envelops the whole stage.
• It also now makes the stage shake.
• Jigglypuff's mouth, instead of being open in previous versions, is now closed and smiling.
• Jigglypuff's eyes are now yellow when performing Puff Up.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions

Jigglypuff

This Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon is best known for its soothing singing, which can put foes to sleep. In Smash Bros., it fights best in the air and can even jump six times in a row. The downside, though, is that Jigglypuff's so light, most opponents could launch it in their sleep!

Jigglypuff (Alt.)

Jigglypuff's down special Rest sends this Pokémon into a deep sleep that damages and launches any foe it's touching upon napping. They'll even take damage after being hit! It's a pretty challenging move to land, though, and it leaves Jigglypuff wide open to revenge. Be careful when you use it.

Trivia

• This is the first game in which Jigglypuff's artwork is not nearly identical to the previous one.
  • However, Jigglypuff's stock icon is almost identical to its past three artworks.
• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first Smash game where Jigglypuff is a starter character.
  • As a result, Jigglypuff had appeared in various official screenshots and videos without acknowledgement before its official reveal.
• Xander Mobus, the announcer of Super Smash Bros. 4, has stated in an interview that he found Jigglypuff's Japanese name "Purin" the hardest name to pronounce, as the producers would keep telling him to say it differently, and he couldn't figure out the right way to do it.
• Jigglypuff is the last character overall and unlockable veteran (in the 3DS's case) to be fully confirmed on the Smash 4 website.
