 '''Jigglypuff''' ({{ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin'') is an [[Unlockable character|unlockable]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series, making a return from [[Super Smash Bros.|the first ''Super Smash Bros'' game]]. Jigglypuff retains most of its moves from ''Smash 64'', though with some modifications.
 {{s|wikipedia|Rachael Lillis}} and {{s|wikipedia|Mika Kanai}} reprise their roles in the English and Japanese versions of the game, albeit via recycled voice clips from ''Super Smash Bros. 64''. Guilaine Gilbert and Mara Winzer also reprise their roles in the French and German versions of the game, with new voice clips.
-Jigglypuff currently ranks 3rd in the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], placing it in the S tier, this is a slight improvement from its 6th place ranking in ''Smash 64'', making it its best placement in the series to date. Jigglypuff possesses an incredible recovery, an extremely dangerous [[edgeguarding]] technique in the [[wall of pain]], an array of moves that can combo into [[Rest]], a powerful KO move, and an overall great aerial game and developed metagame. Its floatiness also makes it the only character in the top tier who cannot be easily comboed or chaingrabbed, which is also aided by its small size, which allows Jigglypuff to avoid most KO setups that most other characters would fall vulnerable to. However, Jigglypuff still has problems. It is light and floaty, making it easier to KO with stray moves or certain low percentage setups than other characters. Jigglypuff's options on the ground are also limited due to its poor range and lack of a projectile. It also has a slow walking speed and dashing speed, making ineffective at fighting at a grounded state, which is compounded with a poor dash dance. Jigglypuff's neutral game is also largely committal, as it is less consistent than that of other top-tiered characters; instead, it relies on its lethal punishes, edgeguards, and aerial mobility to succeed. Recent developments in the ''Melee'' metagame have also worsened Jigglypuff's matchups against other top-tier characters, such as {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{SSBM|Falco}}. Despite this, Jigglypuff still possesses a vast number of winning matchups, with Fox being the only character in the game it loses to, along with even matchups with only three other characters.
