In the early metagame, it was widely considered that Jigglypuff was, at best, a mid-tier to low-tier character, and that Jigglypuff's buffs from ''Brawl'' would allow it to perform better in ''SSB4''. However, its results and representation outside of [[doubles]] play were never as high as other characters that would rank above it in the future, and it would soon become clear that Jigglypuff had ironically lost much more than it gained in the transition. Despite the improved balancing of other characters, it infamously remained stagnant in game updates, with only a glitch that gave [[Rollout]] mindgame potential being fixed in update 1.0.4. As such, it was ranked 55th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], making it the second lowest ranked character on the entire tier list. | In the early metagame, it was widely considered that Jigglypuff was, at best, a mid-tier to low-tier character, and that Jigglypuff's buffs from ''Brawl'' would allow it to perform better in ''SSB4''.

Jigglypuff continued to languish near the bottom of the tier list, due to still being unchanged positively by game updates while other bottom-tier characters like Zelda and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} have received numerous buffs. Despite {{Sm|LeeT}} placing 33rd at [[Shine 2016]] while exclusively using Jigglypuff for the tournament's entirety, it was nonetheless ranked 58th, placing it at the very bottom of the entire tier list. This has continued into the third tier list, with the only slight change to its tier status being its reassessment as a low-tier character due to the bottom-tier being abolished. However, some players felt that Jigglypuff has earned a slightly higher placement on the tier list, due to having better results and representation than some characters ranked above it, LeeT recently placing 49th at CEO 2017 being a notable example. Despite this, Jigglypuff once again ranks dead last at 55th on the fourth and current tier list, even after the exclusion of Miis from the tier list. | Jigglypuff continued to languish near the bottom of the tier list, due to still being unchanged positively by game updates while other bottom-tier characters like Zelda and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} have received numerous buffs.

Most recently however, {{Sm|Captain L}} has recently been using Jigglypuff a lot more in tournaments and has gotten some impressive placings such as getting 3rd at [[Flatiron 3]], 25th at [[Genesis 5]], 2nd at [https://smash.gg/tournament/vancouver-battle-royale-spring-championship-in-partnership-with-bclc/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/259006 Vancouver Battle Royale - Spring Championship], and 2nd at [https://smash.gg/tournament/arcane-tournaments-2018/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/198845 Arcane Tournaments 2018] while taking sets off of {{Sm|Chag}}. {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|BestNess}}, {{Sm|Strike}}, {{Sm|Blank|p=Florida}}, {{Sm|Pandarian}}, and has taken {{Sm|ESAM}} to Game 5 at said tournaments with Jigglypuff (although he also used Pikachu for a majority of the sets). These results have even been more impressive as of late than some of the other low and mid characters ranked above Jigglypuff such as {{SSB4|King Dedede}}, {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSB4|Kirby}}, {{SSB4|Robin}}, {{SSB4|Pit}}, {{SSB4|Yoshi}}, and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} have not seen results such as these as of late. Due to this, Jigglypuff's tier position has started to become debatable as some smashers like {{SSB4|Dabuz}} and {{SSB4|ESAM}} believe that Jigglypuff should be ranked slightly higher while others claim that her weaknesses are too significant for her to be ranked any higher. Regardless, Jigglypuff is still considered to be one of the worst characters in the game and is considered nonviable in the current metagame. | |||
