Jigglypuff (SSB4): Difference between revisions
m
Why do people keep exaggerating the "flaw" of Jigglypuff's shield break? 98% of the time with any character, your shield breaks you die, especially when the characters most like to break your shields can already KO you very early. Shields being made easier to break is not a "nerf" for Jigglypuff, much less a "significant" one.

Jigglypuff is notorious for not receiving any direct changes despite being universally considered a bottom-tier character. However, the changes to shield mechanics in updates [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]] indirectly | Jigglypuff is notorious for not receiving any direct changes despite being universally considered a bottom-tier character. However, the changes to shield mechanics in updates [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]] indirectly buffed Jigglypuff, as the increased [[shieldstun]] makes Jigglypuff's attacks slightly safer on shield (most notably its back aerial) and benefits Pound's high shield damage output, slightly improving its limited approach. It also slightly benefits from the nerfs given to some of its hardest matchups in game updates, such as {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}. However, it is the only non-top tier fighter to have never received a single buff,<!--Dedede's down throw was buffed in 1.0.4--> which further reinforced its widely held perception as the worst fighter in the game. Overall, Jigglypuff fares considerably worse relative to the cast than it did during the initial release, due to not receiving any truly significant changes from game updates. | ||
