Jigglypuff (SSB): Difference between revisions

Jigglypuff's tier placement has stayed relatively consistent throughout the metagame as a midtier character. It was placed at 6th place on the first ''SSB64'' tier list. With a solid recovery and edgeguarding ability, it could hold it's own against high tiers with exploitable recoveries like {{SSB|Ness}}. As time went on however, it's low survivability became more apparent. Not helped by the rise of characters that Jigglypuff struggled with like {{SSB|Fox}} and {{SSB|Yoshi}}. The former with up smash for early kills, and the ladder with amazing shield pressure. All this led to it dropping to 9th place in the second tier list, at the bottom of B tier. Jigglypuff would eventually rise again to 8th in the third tier list, and then again to 6th in the fourth tier list. Largely because of favorable tournament results it achieved at the time. Jigglypuff is currently 8th of the Japanese matchups, this lower position is due to it's worse aerials and slightly hindered approach in the international versions.
