Jigglypuff's tier placement has stayed relatively consistent throughout the metagame as a | Jigglypuff's tier placement has stayed relatively consistent throughout the metagame as a mid-tier character. It was placed at 6th place on the first ''SSB64'' tier list. With a solid recovery and edgeguarding ability, it could hold its own against high tiers with exploitable recoveries like {{SSB|Ness}}. As time went on, however, its low survivability became more apparent, not helped by the rise of characters that it struggled with such as {{SSB|Fox}} and {{SSB|Yoshi}}, the former whose up smash allowed for early kills, and the latter with amazing shield pressure. All this led to it dropping to 9th place in the second tier list, at the bottom of B tier. Jigglypuff would eventually rise again to 8th in the third tier list, and then again to 6th in the fourth tier list, largely because of favorable tournament results it achieved at the time. Jigglypuff is currently 7th on the Japanese tier list; this lower position is due to its worse aerials and slightly hindered approach compared to international versions. | ||
