{{ | '''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. Rachael Lillis' voice clips are reused from ''Smash 64'' while most of Mika Kanai's are from ''Smash 64'' and the ''Pokémon'' anime (mainly episodes 45 and 62). Guilaine Gilbert and Mara Winzer 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 large improvement from its 6th place ranking in ''Smash 64'' and 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. | |||

Jigglypuff must be defeated in battle before it can be unlocked. There are two ways the player can encounter Jigglypuff: | |||
*One way is to complete Classic Mode, Adventure Mode, or All-Star Mode with any character. If the player fails to defeat Jigglypuff, they can re-fight it by completing one of these modes again. If this method is used and {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s unique encounter requirement is met, then he must be unlocked before Jigglypuff can be fought. | |||
Jigglypuff can | *Another way is to play 50 VS. matches to completion. If the player fails to defeat Jigglypuff, they can re-fight it by playing another VS. match to completion. Fighters with higher VS. match quotas, like {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, will not appear until Jigglypuff is unlocked. | ||

When transitioning from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', Jigglypuff | When transitioning from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', Jigglypuff has been greatly buffed, primarily in regards to its power, speed, range, combo ability, and recovery. Jigglypuff's aerial mobility is far superior with faster air speed and higher mid-air jumps which heavily improve Jigglypuff's recovery, edgeguarding and aerial approach. This is further complimented by its aerials (most notoriously back aerial) receiving larger hitboxes making them more effective at walling out opponents. [[Rest]] has also seen a huge buff to its already impressive KO power making it an incredibly deadly attack if it lands. The changes to ''Melee''{{'}}s mechanics greatly aid Jigglypuff. The faster falling speeds allow Jigglypuff to maintain its powerful combo game despite the reduction of [[hitstun]] and the nerfs to some of its moves and [[air dodging]] further aids Jigglypuff's recovery and movement options. The changes to ''Melee''{{'}}s [[ledge]] mechanics also greatly benefit Jigglypuff as ledge invincibility no longer cancels if Jigglypuff lets go of the ledge and [[Sing]] can now be ledge-cancelled making stalling at the ledge an extremely strong option for Jigglypuff. | ||
Despite these significant buffs, Jigglypuff has also received some nerfs. Jigglypuff's already poor grounded mobility was made even worse and some of its previous KO moves such as down smash, back throw, down tilt, and especially up smash have been significantly weakened while some of its other moves have had their damage output reduced (with down aerial being the most prominent example). Jigglypuff's grab game much like the rest of the cast was also toned down. As with all returning veterans without a [[tether]] grab, Jigglypuff's grabs are much slower and as mentioned before, its back throw was drastically weakened dealing less damage and no longer being a viable kill option. Up throw deals less damage than its old forward throw and has much higher base knockback hindering its combo potential although it is still a potent combo throw especially when combined with the increase in Rest's power. | Despite these significant buffs, Jigglypuff has also received some nerfs.

Jigglypuff went from the 6th best out of 12 on the ''Smash 64'' tier list to 3rd best out of 26 on the ''Melee'' tier list. As a result of these improvements in both tournament and tier placings, Jigglypuff is widely considered one of the most buffed characters in the game, alongside {{SSBM|Samus}}. | ||

Compared to the other top tiers, Jigglypuff remained unchanged when transitioning to the [[PAL]] version of ''Melee'' (outside of receiving new voice clips for the French and German language options, due to Jigglypuff's name change in said languages) although it did receive one practically negligible indirect nerf (with Jigglypuff now taking damage from {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBM|down throw|poss=y}}). This change however does not affect its matchups against the other top tiers. Because of this, Jigglypuff is even more effective in the PAL version (due to the nerfs to the other top tiers giving it a better matchup spread), currently being ranked 4th on the latest PAL tier list. Some would even argue that Jigglypuff is the best character in the PAL version. | Compared to the other top tiers, Jigglypuff remained unchanged when transitioning to the [[PAL]] version of ''Melee'' (outside of receiving new voice clips for the French and German language options, due to Jigglypuff's name change in said languages) although it did receive one practically negligible indirect nerf (with Jigglypuff now taking damage from {{mvsub|Bowser|SSBM|down throw|poss=y}}).

*{{Sm| | *{{Sm|Hungrybox|USA}} - One of the [[Five Gods]] and the best Jigglypuff player of all time. He had one of the most dominant streaks in ''Melee'' history, becoming the best player in the world from 2017 to 2019. His defensive playstyle is synonymous with Jigglypuff and advanced the metagame against characters such as {{SSBM|Fox}}. | ||
*{{Sm|Michael|USA}} - The second best Jigglypuff player in 2018, placing 41st on the [[2018 MPGR]]. He notably placed 4th at {{Trn|Combo Breaker 2018}} with additional major placements such as 9th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}} and 17th at {{Trn|The Big House 8}}. Although less active in recent years, he has shown occasional success such as 17th at {{Trn|Riptide 2023}}. | |||
*{{Sm| | *{{Sm|Prince Abu|USA}} - Formerly considered the second best Jigglypuff player in the world. Though was more inconsistent in comparison to other Jigglypuff players in the modern era, he has shown peaks at majors such as 9th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 2}} and {{Trn|EVO 2017}}. Formerly ranked as high as 38th on the [[2017 SSBMRank]]. | ||
*{{Sm|SDJ|USA}} - Currently the second best Jigglypuff player in the world. He came on the rise with the return of offline tournaments in 2021, boasting some of the best Jigglypuff runs with examples such as 5th at {{Trn|Shine 2023}} and 9th at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}. He is currently ranked 29th on the [[SSBMRank 2023]], marking the first time a Jigglypuff player besides Hungrybox has made top 30 on a yearly SSBMRank/MPGR ranking. | |||
*{{Sm|Tekk|France}} - The best Jigglypuff player in Europe. He has shown the best results in the country with tournaments such as 5th at {{Trn|B.E.A.S.T 4}} and 13th at {{Trn|Heir 5}}. He has taken sets over some top international players such as {{Sm|Zhu}} at {{Trn|HFLAN Melee Edition}} and {{Sm|Duck}} at {{Trn|Heir 4}}. He was formerly ranked 42rd on the [[2015 SSBMRank]], putting him as the first French player on the rankings to make top 50 in the world. | |||
*{{Sm|Darc|USA}} - One of the first top Jigglypuff players, placing high at some of the most notable tournaments past the MLG era, placing 7th at {{Trn|Viva La Smashtaclysm}} and 13th at {{Trn|GENESIS}}. He continued playing into the early 2010s, securing placements such as 7th at {{Trn|Revival of Melee 3}} and 45th on the [[2013 SSBMRank]].

His results declined past that year and retired from competitive play around the end of the pre-''Brawl'' era. | |||
*{{Sm| | *{{Sm|The King|Canada}} - One of the first top Jigglypuff players. Known for his character strategies and combo videos such as [https://youtu.be/vOdabIVj1Xc?si=HqbhiMhzf9njyRrO Rollout], which became a huge influence on the character's early play. He made many supermajor placements of 5th at both {{Trn|MLG Dallas 2006}} and {{Trn|Zero Challenge 3}} and 9th at both {{Trn|MLG Anaheim 2006}} and {{Trn|Zero Challenge 2}}. He has since retired from competitive play. | ||
*{{Sm|Mango|USA}} - One of the Five Gods, having started out with Jigglypuff after being inspired by The King. He was considered the best player in the world in 2009 when using Jigglypuff, winning events such as {{Trn|GENESIS}} and {{Trn|Pound 4}}. His dominance at tournaments with Jigglypuff started a reevaluation of the character's viability as a top tier. | |||

===Tier placement and history=== | ===Tier placement and history=== | ||
Since the beginning of the ''Melee'' [[metagame]], Jigglypuff has had among the biggest improvements, going from an average contender to one of the definitive characters in the competitive scene. In the first tier list (October 2002), Jigglypuff was ranked 17-18th place (tied with {{SSBM|Ness}}). This was due to most players not fully recognizing its aerial capabilities. With new metagame developments, it jumped to 10-11th in the second tier list (December 2002). Jigglypuff hovered around the 8th-11th spots before rising to 6th-7th place (tied with {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}) in the ninth tier list (October 2008), largely due to {{Sm|Mango}} showing how dominant Jigglypuff was in the air, and how powerful its [[pressure]] game and [[combo]] abilities were. With Mango continuously dominating more ''Melee'' tournaments using Jigglypuff, and the rise of another nationally dominant Jigglypuff player in {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, Jigglypuff jumped up to top tier in the original 10th tier list (September 2010), tied with {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} for the top position. In the tenth tier list (December 2010), Jigglypuff was ranked third under Fox and Falco. Jigglypuff is ranked 5th place in the twelfth tier list.

In the tenth tier list (December 2010), Jigglypuff was ranked third under Fox and Falco. Jigglypuff is ranked 5th place in the twelfth tier list. Despite this, at that time Jigglypuff had a smaller playerbase than the rest of the top tier characters, with only four representatives on the [[SSBMRank 2015]]. | ||
Since 2015, Jigglypuff's presence in the ''Melee'' metagame has continued to grow, largely to Hungrybox's continued rise to dominance as the best player in the world. After winning huge events such as {{Trn|EVO 2016}}, and achieving Rank #1 on SSBMRank from 2017 to 2019, Hungrybox became the player to beat at every ''Melee'' tournament, and many players began developing a secondary {{SSBM|Fox}} in an attempt to counterpick him. Following Hungrybox's dominance, most players began to recognize Jigglypuff as a top three character, with some believing that it is the best character in the game; this has been reflected in the thirteenth and latest tier list, where Jigglypuff is ranked 3rd. | Since 2015, Jigglypuff's presence in the ''Melee'' metagame has continued to grow, largely to Hungrybox's continued rise to dominance as the best player in the world.

However, following Hungrybox’s slump in tournament results post-COVID, and the advancement of other characters in the Jigglypuff matchup, most players no longer consider Jigglypuff to be a candidate for the best character in the game, and that Sheik and Peach are the only other top tiers that Jigglypuff has a clear matchup advantage against. On the other hand, Jigglypuff's representation had notably increased: [[SSBMRank 2023]] had five representatives on the top 50 alone, with an additional five representatives ranking in the rest of the top 100. | ||

| Line 379: | Line 398: | ||
However, most members of the ''Melee'' community do not support a Jigglypuff ban. They argue that Hungrybox's success in tournaments is due to his skill as a player, rather than Jigglypuff being a broken character. They also cite the relative lack of top Jigglypuff players as evidence of Hungrybox's exceptional success with the character, and that if Jigglypuff was truly broken, competitive ''Melee'' players would still play it regardless if it was "boring," as evidenced by the numerous {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} who used [[wobbling]] in tournaments, despite vocally being against the technique from a game design standpoint. They argue that Jigglypuff does not hurt the scene or turn off spectators from watching tournaments, pointing to the fact that ''Melee'' tournaments have seen an increase in both attendance and viewership since 2015, and that Hungrybox's dominance with Jigglypuff is no worse than the historical dominance of other players' characters, such as Armada's {{SSBM|Peach}}. Opponents of a ban argue that removing Jigglypuff from tournaments would unfairly target Hungrybox, and that other top players should adopt a more patient playstyle in order to beat him. | However, most members of the ''Melee'' community do not support a Jigglypuff ban.

====PAL viability==== | ====PAL viability==== | ||
Jigglypuff | Jigglypuff itself is unchanged from the NTSC version. It can now take damage from {{SSBM|Bowser}}'s down throw due to the changes in the throw's properties, but this is not any sort of meaningful nerf, due to both Bowser being a rarity in competitive play and the throw not being any good in the first place. However, Jigglypuff benefits indirectly from the nerfs to other top-tiered characters, who either have weakened KO options ({{SSBM|Sheik}}), have decreased aerial drift ({{SSBM|Marth}}) or recovery distance, or a combination of the three ({{SSBM|Fox}}). On the [[PAL tier list]], last updated in 2015, Jigglypuff ranks 4th, a slight improvement over its ranking on NTSC tier list iterations from that time period, when it ranked 5th; however, metagame development in the NTSC versions since then have propelled Jigglypuff to 3rd place on its [[List of SSBM tier lists (NTSC)#Thirteenth tier list (March 29th, 2021)|tier list]], and it's a common opinion nowadays that Jigglypuff is actually the best character in the PAL version. Jigglypuff's tournament representation in PAL is roughly the same as in NTSC despite this, with only a handful of top Jigglypuff mains (notably {{Sm|Hack}} and {{Sm|Tekk}}) and a small pool of lower-leveled ones, though the few that play the character at the highest levels of play place well with it. | ||
