Jigglypuff (プリン, Purin: Purin) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Jigglypuff was indirectly revealed in a recently updated trailer on the official Japanese Wii website. It was recently confirmed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! on March 25, 2008.

Strategies

Jigglypuff can be a popular choice despite being the lightest character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. King and Mango are by far the best Jigglypuff users to most people, and their playstyles often involve using the Wall of Pain technique (which some people call "Jiggle-Juggle") to literally carry opponents offstage.

Wall of Pain takes a huge amount of training and practice to master and use effectively. All avid Jigglypuff users need to know how to do this. Rollout and Pound have huge knockbacks and do a good amount of damage. Care must be used when executing a Rollout, though, because if it misses and you do not turn around in time, Jigglypuff will roll off of the stage. Sing can be used after lots of damage has been inflicted by the means of Rest, Pound, and Rollout, and use Rest as a finisher. Rest can also be used in midair, as well as all of Jigglypuff's other Specials.

Event Matches

• Event 29: All-Star Semifinal Regulars- Select your character to fight against the original 4 hidden characters on Yoshi's Island.
• Event 35: The Visitor to Flat Zone- As Mr. Game & Watch, KO Peach, Jigglypuff, and Toon Link on Flat Zone 2. All three opponents have the "Game & Watch" effect on their models.

Co-Op Event Matches

• Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback- On Castle Siege, play as tiny Jigglypuff and Mr. Game & Watch against giant Ness and Lucas. Over the course of the battle, your opponents shrink down to your tiny size.
• Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle- Select your character and take on the entire roster on Battlefield.

Role in the Subspace Emissary

Jigglypuff does not play a major role in the Subspace Emissary, as it is an optional character in Subspace Emmisary, much like Toon Link and Wolf. If you enter the new door in Swamp which appears after you've finished Subspace Emissary, it will take you to Pokemon Stadium 2, where Jigglypuff is performing a song. You will then fight Jigglypuff.

How to Unlock:

• Play 350 Brawl Matches, then defeat Jigglypuff
• Fight Jigglypuff in the Swamp stage after completing Subspace. Access to Jigglypuff is through the first door found after defeating giant Shadowbug clone of Diddy Kong.
• Complete Subspace Emissary and then, Events 1-20. Afterwards, defeat Jigglypuff.

If you have already completed Events 1-20, play (succeed or fail) another event match regardless if it's already been done or not and defeat Jigglypuff.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Rest is a powerful kill move at mid-percentages, and racks up a lot of damage at lower percentages
• Aerials are still quick and have good priority and damage
• Has one of the best recoveries in the game
• Can Wall of Pain and is extremely effective at doing so; technique itself was invented for Jigglypuff
• Small target
• Deceptively strong
• Most moves have small knock back, which allows for great combo ability
• Rest now adds the flower effect
• Has the best aerial maneuvering in the game allowing for a hit and run strategy that involves a short-hop towards an opponent followed by an aerial and then floating back
• All tilts are useful for combos or quick combo interception
• Extremely low crouch that allows for easy projectile dodging, except ground huggers (Ice Shot, Gyro etc.)
• Can Rising Pound which, although banned in tournaments, can stall for long periods or recover
• Very difficult to combo and chain grab

Cons:

• Lightest character in the game
• No projectile or way to reflect projectiles
• Short Range
• A missed Rest leaves Jigglypuff quite vulnerable for 4 seconds allowing others to take adavantage.
• Has the slowest dash speed in the game
• Breaking Jigglypuff's shield results in instant KO if there is no ceiling to stop it.

Strategies & Tips

Combo! Going for a big attack in the beginning is a bad idea. Bring the opponent to the air and combo them over and over.

Be careful using Rest; it's hard to land and even if you do hit with it opponents will catch on. A good setup to Rest is Jigglypuff's down air.

Once an enemy is off the stage, Wall of Pain them. Use Jigglypuff's forward air (or back air if you're experienced enough) and keep knocking them away. Jigglypuff can almost always get back to the stage.

Don't wait from a distance, because Jigglypuff has no projectiles and is vulnerable to them. Keep in close to accommodate for Jigglypuff's short range but make sure to not get too cocky and get hit by a powerful attack.

Special Movements

Taunts

Up: Spins once, puffs up and winks, then says "Jigglypuff!" (same as in Melee).

Side: Spins quickly and points to the sky.

Down: Deflates and floats down. (same as KO animation in 3D Pokémon games)

Trivia

• One of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes is Leaf's hat (Leaf is the female counterpart to Red, also known as Pokemon Trainer, in the games Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen). Its fellow Pokémon Pikachu, who has also appeared in all iterations of the Smash Bros. series, has Red's hat. Another one of Jigglypuff's alt. coustumes is Yellow's hat from the Manga. Yellow, AKA "The Yellow Caberello" from the Pokemon Manga has never been in any of the Pokemon games, and was a girl who disguised herself as a boy by hiding her Ponytail in a hat to protect her idenity while stopping the Elite Four from destroying the world.
• Jigglypuff, alongside Lucario and Ness, were leaked as playable characters in an official preview video before the game's release and before being revealed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website (see image on the right).
• Jigglypuff can become the largest character in the game if a MEGA Brawl is played. Jigglypuff must use its Final Smash while the bridge is being rebuilt, and then pick up a Super Mushroom.
