Jigglypuff's unmatched floatiness, exceptional air speed, multiple jumps, and strong air game give it a tremendous off-stage presence. Due to lacking a traditional [[recovery]] move, its recovery is fairly susceptible to gimping if it has used its jumps, though its other attributes make its recovery very effective regardless. Its fast air acceleration also allows it to mix-up against opponents that attempt to [[edgeguard]] it. With the aid of [[Pound]], it can also stall its recovery and protect its landing. Jigglypuff is infamously fearsome at edgeguarding: with proper spacing and good timing, it can gimp even the farthest distanced recoveries without being put at risk; {{SSBU|Cloud}}, Chrom, {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, and {{SSBU|Min Min}} are perhaps the most susceptible to its edgeguarding, as their recoveries lack both speed and resilience, causing their performances against Jigglypuff to revolve around maintaining stage control as much as possible. | Jigglypuff's unmatched floatiness, exceptional air speed, multiple jumps, and strong air game give it a tremendous off-stage presence.

Jigglypuff's neutral attack possesses incredible speed, can lock, and combos into its aforementioned back air. It also combos into dash attack, which can KO at unusually low percentages. Forward tilt is fast and highly damaging, and when [[angled]] down is its fastest option for hitting an opponent that is grabbing the ledge. Up tilt is relatively quick and | ||
possesses surprisingly good combo potential, whilst still maintaining the utility of a kill move at later percents. Down tilt is a [[semi-spike]] with high base knockback that can easily gimp many recoveries when used at the ledge, whilst also putting opponents in a bad position on stage should they miss their [[tech]]. As for its smash attacks, forward smash has surprisingly high [[knockback scaling]], while down smash has [[intangibility]] on Jigglypuff's legs and the lowest launch angle of any other conventional semi-spike, causing characters with weaker recoveries to die at very low percents. It also possesses surprisingly fast grabs, and its down throw is a solid damage dealer which greatly benefits from throw [[invincibility]], particularly in certain matchups or when playing in doubles. Its greatest grounded move, however, is its buffed Forward Throw, which sends opponents at a low angle when used near the ledge. This is a fantastic tool to have for a character that forces opponents to shield so often, especially due to Down Air's ability to combo directly into a grab. The angle forward throw sends at forces the opponent to pick an option, burn a resource, or both, making the edgeguarding guessing game much easier for the Jigglypuff player. As a cherry on top, at low percents, it can put opponents in a bad position onstage if they miss their tech, very similarly to their down tilt. | possesses surprisingly good combo potential, whilst still maintaining the utility of a kill move at later percents.
