In '' | In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Rest has seen some rather drastic changes, mostly for the worse. One positive change is that the move now has a [[flower]] effect, which enables the move to build up more damage after it connects (now being able to deal a maximum of 42%). Two more positive (albeit minor) changes are that the move has a slightly bigger hitbox and it has one more frame of intangibility. | ||
One notable change is that the move now launches vertically. This makes the move much safer when it KOes opponents on the ground (as it will always cause a [[Star KO]] or [[Screen KO]]) and it can even still be somewhat safe when used off stage as it will still cause a Blast KO (granted that the opponent is not too close to the stage). However, this vertical angle also makes the move much less safe if it does not KO. | One notable change is that the move now launches vertically.

The move however has seen two negative changes. The first negative change is that the move now comes on frame 2 rather than frame 1, although this is rather insignificant overall. The second and far more detrimental change is that the move has drastically reduced damage (only dealing 15% without the flower effect, nearly half as much as in Melee) and knockback (with Rest no longer being able to KO reliably until around 75% or maybe at even higher percents). This makes Rest a much less useful move, being more of a high risk, low reward move than a high risk, high reward move. This change combined with the game's numerous universal changes have hindered Rest even further, as Jigglypuff has less reliable ways to set up into it. The only setups Jigglypuff really has are with down aerial and from a [[jab lock]], with the former being unreliable and only working at very high percents, while the latter is extremely situational. As a result, Rest is a far less effective move than it was in ''Melee'', being one of the main reasons why Jiggypuff became so much worse in ''Brawl''. | The move however has seen two negative changes.
