Jigglypuff is currently ranked | Jigglypuff is currently ranked 55th 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 already near-bottom ranking in ''Brawl''. Jigglypuff retains its strong air game due to its high 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, although not with quite the same potency, while its neutral and back aerials are potent KOing options, include a now-buffed [[Rest]]. | ||
However, Jigglypuff is strongly held back by its poor ground game, due to its poor mobility on the ground and short [[range]] on most of its attacks, including its grab. Furthermore, Jigglypuff has significant difficulty in KOing opponents, as it has few reliable KO moves, and a majority of them feature considerable amounts of lag that cause them to be unsafe in most scenarios. Its endurance is unarguably the worst in the game, as it is extremely floaty and possesses the lowest [[weight]] in the game, further exacerbated by the new [[rage]] mechanic and weaker [[shield]]s. | However, Jigglypuff is strongly held back by its poor ground game, due to its poor mobility on the ground and short [[range]] on most of its attacks, including its grab.

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 [[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 and current 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 several characters ranked above it. LeeT recently placing 49th at CEO 2017 is a notable example. Despite this, Jigglypuff once again ranked dead last on the 4th tier list even with the exclusion of Miis. | ||
