Rest: Difference between revisions

In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Rest is a powerful move that deals high damage and strong horizontal knockback. The move deals 20% and it is capable of KOing most characters under 50% at the center of {{SSB|Dream Land}}. The move comes out instantly on frame 1 (although it is only active on this frame), has a reasonably sized hitbox and it provides 29 frames of intangibility during its startup. However, the entire move takes 249 frames (over 4 seconds) to complete, which leaves Jigglypuff vulnerable for an extremely long period of time. When used on or above the stage, Jigglypuff's opponents have a lot of time to punish Rest and when it is used off stage, it leads to a guaranteed [[self-destruct]] unless something hits Jigglypuff upwards before it reaches the bottom blast zone.

Because of its frame 1 startup and its powerful hitbox, Rest is an extremely effective combo ender. Jigglypuff has a multitude of ways to combo into Rest for a KO, such as with a {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|forward throw}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|up aerial}} or {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSB|down aerial}}. These setups into rest reduce the move's otherwise extreme risk to use.  

In the original Japanese version of ''Smash 64'', Rest was much weaker, only dealing 14% damage and much lower knockback (especially at lower percents). The move did not KO nearly as early as in the international versions, making the reward for landing it much lower. The move also did not make its signature "ping" sound effect. Rest was the only move Jigglypuff had which received a major change in the international version, being the main reason why Jigglypuff is considered better in the North American version. In the PAL versions of the game, Rest's hitbox size was noticeably reduced, which made the move harder to land than in NTSC versions. This smaller hitbox would be carried over to ''Melee''.
