Jigglypuff is ranked 59th out of 82 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it in C+ tier. This is a striking improvement from its placement in ''Smash 4'' where it was ranked as the absolute worst character in the game. Jigglypuff's strength lies in its superb aerial game, which is the result of long-lasting [[Aerial attack|aerials]] that, combined with its fast [[air speed]] and multiple [[jump]]s can be used to wall out its opponents offstage. Jigglypuff also has a much easier time killing due to its quicker KO options, new KO setups, and more reliable [[Rest]] combos. Rest itself has more knockback and less endlag if Jigglypuff lands it, allowing Jigglypuff to escape potential punishes. Finally, Jigglypuff's ground game has been improved: its [[jab]] can confirm into [[back aerial]] or [[dash attack]] at high percents, its [[up tilt]] can combo into its other aerials and even Rest in some scenarios, and its [[forward throw]] can send opponents at a low angle, making it easier for Jigglypuff to utilize its strong edgeguards. | Jigglypuff is ranked 59th out of 82 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it in C+ tier.
