Jigglypuff is currently ranked 58th on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom the F tier and the entire tier list itself. This is a slight drop from its very low placement in ''Brawl'', where it was ranked 36th out of 38. Jigglypuff retains its strong air game: it has nearly unrivaled aerial mobility thanks to its very fast [[air speed]] and multiple [[midair jump]]s, as well as good [[juggling]] ability thanks to its fast and long-lasting aerial attacks. All of these attributes facilitate a strong [[edgeguarding]] potential, and allow it to perform its signature [[Wall of Pain]] technique, while its neutral and back aerials are potent KOing options. Additionally, [[Rest]] has regained the majority of its power that was lost in ''Brawl''. | Jigglypuff is currently ranked 58th on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom the F tier and the entire tier list itself.

However, Jigglypuff also retains its glaring weaknesses, as it still suffers from a very weak ground game due to its slow mobility and short [[range]]. Jigglypuff also has severe issues when attempting to score a KO, as the majority of its KOing options (smash attacks, back aerial and Rest) are burdened with considerable amounts of lag, while Rest is still very difficult to land without a hard [[read]]. Its endurance is unarguably the worst, as it is extremely floaty and possesses the lowest [[weight]] stat in the game. While this light weight can allow it to escape from what are usually true combos, this does not make up for the frailty that results from it. This is exacerbated by the new [[rage]] mechanic and weaker [[shield]]s, the latter making its instantly KO'd [[shield jump]] even more dangerous. Lastly, Jigglypuff's [[grab]] game is a very mixed bag: its grabs and throws have impressive damage outputs, but none of its throws possess KO or combo potential. | However, Jigglypuff also retains its glaring weaknesses, as it still suffers from a very weak ground game due to its slow mobility and short [[range]].

Overall, Jigglypuff's weaknesses almost completely nullify its strengths, which has resulted in it remaining a non-viable character among the general consensus of players. When coupled with its lack of any buffs via game updates, Jigglypuff has received virtually no tournament representation or results at high levels of play. However, it does have some positive results to its credit: {{Sm|CrazieCuban}}, {{Sm|MASTER PUFFY}}, {{Sm|RDR7}} and {{Sm|Serynder}} have performed decently with it at regional tournaments, while {{Sm|LeeT}} notably placed 33rd at [[Shine 2016]] while exclusively using Jigglypuff. | Overall, Jigglypuff's weaknesses almost completely nullify its strengths, which has resulted in it remaining a non-viable character among the general consensus of players.
