Jigglypuff (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Jigglypuff ranks at 55th out of 56 characters on the [[tier list]] in J-tier, the second worst placement out of the cast and a slight drop from its already abysmal placement at 36th out of 38 characters in ''Brawl,'' previously third worst. Jigglypuff retains a strong air game, as it has nearly unrivaled aerial mobility along with multiple [[midair jump]]s and fast, long-duration aerial attacks, giving it good [[juggling]] ability. All these attributes facilitate a strong [[edge-guarding]] ability, for it can perform its signature [[Wall of Pain]] technique, and it has a potent finisher in its back aerial. Additionally, Jigglypuff's signature [[Rest]] attack has received some of the killing power that it greatly lost in ''Brawl''. However, its weaknesses from the previous Smash titles remain. Jigglypuff suffers from a terrible ground game, due to its slow mobility, short [[reach]], and a lackluster [[grab]] game with no grab combos to speak of. Jigglypuff also has severe issues KOing, with laggy finishers and [[Rest]] being very difficult to land without a hard [[read]]. Its endurance is unarguably the worst, as it is extremely floaty and has the lightest [[weight]] in the game, which is exacerbated by the new [[rage]] mechanic and weaker [[shield]]s, the latter of which exploits its unusual [[shield jump]]. Overall, Jigglypuff has seemingly not improved from ''Brawl'', a fact that is made worse considering the vast amount of buffs that the majority of the returning veterans have received, resulting in Jigglypuff having extremely poor tournament representation and results.
