Jigglypuff (プリン, Purin) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Jigglypuff's model features a more subdued color scheme. It more closely resembles its appearance in recent mainline Pokémon titles as a result. Only its irises have retained some of their vibrancy, and they are more detailed than they were previously.
• Jigglypuff is slightly more expressive, for example, now smiling when using certain neutral attacks as it did in games prior to SSB4 rather than looking surprised.
• Jigglypuff's ears now fold slightly inward when using Rollout or Rest.
• Side taunt is now much faster.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Jigglypuff's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

• Jigglypuff has a new dash attack animation, with its face angled more towards the screen and its limbs more elegantly spread out.
  • The move itself travels further and appears to have decreased ending lag.
• Jigglypuff's forward smash extends slightly farther and has less ending lag.

Aerial attacks

• Back aerial has reduced ending lag.
• Up aerial has less landing lag.

Special Moves

• When using an uncharged Rollout, Jigglypuff will only roll once, significantly speeding up the animation. This improves its safety.
• Rollout's rebound animation is much faster, and its ending lag has been greatly reduced and is much stronger.
  • Jigglypuff will now be able to move after hitting an opponent midair.
• Pound now goes a further distance and has less endlag.
• Sing covers more range. It also has less startup and end lag.
• Rest now activates a dramatic slow motion effect upon hitting.
• The animation for waking up after using Rest can be cancelled, making the move much safer.
• Puff Up is now much faster than the previous games. When it ends, Jigglypuff aesthetically "pops", and then deflates to normal size, mimicking a balloon. Jigglypuff additionally shrinks considerably faster at the end. It also has an angry expression while inflating, resembling the face the Jigglypuff from the anime makes when someone falls asleep.
• Puff Up now has a second, shockwave-like hitbox at the climax of the move.
