It is 34th on the current Brawl tier list due to its nerfed finishers such as Rest, which instead KOing under 25% like it did in ''Melee'', it doesn't reliably KO until around 75% and the reduced hitstun in Brawl, meaning that it can no longer combo as easily as before and making it more difficult to rack up damage, all in all resulting poor match-ups.

One of the most well-known features of Jigglypuff is likely the fact that it has the slowest falling speed in the game (much like Fox having the fastest falling acceleration in the game). This is both advantageous and disadvantageous. Some of the pros of this are it allows for techniques such as the [[Wall of Pain]], as well as having amazing recovery ability, and being able to remain airborne when there are troubles on the ground. The downside is that when Jigglypuff needs to land, other characters, can run to beneath it and [[juggle]] it. However, this can be overcoming by using attacks to land, such as rollout or b-air. The 2nd disadvantage is that when fast-falling is advantageous, in up-drafts, or scrolling stages, Jigglypuff can be killed off the top easily. The 3rd disadvantage is that it makes a character much more vulnerable to vertical KO, making Jigglypuff very easy to KO at any part of the screen. The 4th disadvantage is that it makes its recovery (although it travels much distance) predictable and fairly easily edge-guarded.

Jigglypuff also received some cosmetic changes. The biggest cosmetic change is that almost all of Jigglypuff's movements now make a squeaky, rubbery, and puffy sound (including midair jumps and attacks). Another cosmetic change is yellow sound waves appear around Jigglypuff when sing is used instead of colorful sound waves. Jigglypuff also doesn't open its eyes in the last part of the song, instead only opening them when the song is over. Jigglypuff's blue and green costumes have changed. Blue is now a sunhat, and green is now a nightcap. Jigglypuff also has a new costume which is a white hat with a bit of pink, based on the female trainer's hat from [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']].

''A Balloon Pokémon. It invites opponents in close with its big, round eyes, then puts them to sleep with a calming song. The secret to the song's unfailing efficacy is Jigglypuff's ability to sing on the wavelength that will make its opponent the sleepiest. It also uses Attract to infatuate opponents who touch it. It uses a Moon Stone to evolve into Wigglytuff.''

*Jigglypuff has a rather good matchup against Meta Knight, which is often considered a 45:55 matchup. This makes Jigglypuff currently one of the three characters below the D tier to have 45:55 matchup with [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]] or [[Snake (SSBB)|Snake]]. The others are [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]] against Meta Knight and [[Link (SSBB)|Link]] against Snake.
