Jigglypuff (SSBM)/Down special

Overview

Jigglypuff rests when this move is used. Normally, it leaves it very vulnerable, but there is a very small hitbox near its eyes that deals 28% damage and huge knockback, being one of the most powerful moves in the game. It also has a flame effect. This attack can KO reliably at as low as 25%, and it can be combo'd into with a variety of moves, such as a u-throw or uair. It also has almost nonexistant startup lag (1 frame), but extreme ending lag. Against fastfallers (including Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon), a u-throw can combo into Rest easily - at medium to higher percentages, a uair can be used to ensure that the Rest is landed. This is called the Space animal slayer (also known as Hunger Strike, named after the professional Jigglypuff player Hungrybox).
