Jigglypuff's approach, despite being good in the air, is somewhat predictable. Most of the time, Jigglypuff is forced to remain close to the opponent, read their option in order to approach, or bait them in order to make a move. Its aerial moves are not good for approaching from a long distance as they are unsafe on shield when late, and its dash attack is terrible at doing so due to its high endlag and ineffective sourspot. Coupled with the overall short range on its attacks, it has notoriously difficult matchups against characters with large disjoints like {{SSBU|Ike}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, and {{SSBU|Shulk}}. Its polarizing mobility is also a noticeable flaw. Although it has among the best aerial games in ''Ultimate'', its grounded mobility is among the worst, as it does not efficiently give Jigglypuff the chance to traverse across the ground quickly like most other [[Weight|lightweight]] characters can, and in turn with their floatiness makes Jigglypuff relatively slow. This is especially a problem against speed demons such as {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}}, who can more easily force Jigglypuff to approach them than vice versa. Lastly, due to its reliance on taking stocks with an edgeguard or a Rest setup, it can sometimes struggle to take stocks without committing to one strong attack, especially against heavier characters with great recoveries such {{SSBU|Terry}} and {{SSBU|Yoshi}}.

Overall, Jigglypuff is an air-based glass cannon that can quickly rack up damage or KO opponents, but in return can be KOed just as quickly.
Overall, Jigglypuff is an air-based glass cannon that can quickly rack up damage or KO opponents, but in return can be KOed just as quickly. Its strengths are on par with its weaknesses, and while it has lower representation than most other characters due to the aforementioned weaknesses, it has received strong results from players such as {{Sm|BassMage}} and {{Sm|Senra}}.
