+===Tier placement and history===
+In the early metagame, it was widely considered that Jigglypuff was, at best, a mid-tier to low-tier character, and that Jigglypuff's buffs from ''Brawl'' would allow it to perform better in ''SSB4''. However, its results and representation outside of [[doubles]] play were never as high as other characters that would rank above it in the future, and it would soon become clear that Jigglypuff had ironically lost much more than it gained in the transition. Despite the improved balancing of other characters, it infamously remained stagnant in game updates, with only a glitch that gave [[Rollout]] mindgame potential being fixed in update 1.0.4. As such, it was ranked 55th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], making it the second lowest ranked character on the entire tier list.
+Jigglypuff continued to languish near the bottom of the tier list, due to still being unchanged positively by game updates while other bottom-tier characters like Zelda and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} have received numerous buffs. Despite {{Sm|LeeT}} placing 33rd at [[Shine 2016]] while exclusively using Jigglypuff for the tournament's entirety, it was nonetheless ranked 58th, placing it at the very bottom of the entire tier list. This has continued into the third tier list, with the only slight change to its tier status being its reassessment as a low-tier character due to the bottom-tier being abolished. Although some players felt that Jigglypuff has earned a slightly higher placement on the tier list due to having better results and representation than some characters ranked above it, Jigglypuff once again ranked dead last at 55th on the fourth and current tier list, even after the exclusion of Miis from the tier list.
+It wouldn't be until 2018 that Jigglypuff would start seeing improvements in the metagame. {{Sm|Captain L}} started using Jigglypuff as a secondary alongside Pikachu and has gotten impressive placings such as 2nd at {{Trn|Arcane Tournaments 2018}}, 3rd at [[Flatiron 3]], and 25th at [[GENESIS 5]]. Captain L used Jigglypuff to defeat players such as {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|BestNess}}, {{Sm|Strike}}, {{Sm|Blank|p=Florida}}, and {{Sm|Pandarian}}, and has also taken {{Sm|ESAM}} to game 5. Furthermore, {{Sm|Arika}} would make an impressive run at {{Trn|Umebura Smash 4 Final}} where he would defeat {{Sm|Masashi}} and {{Sm|takera}} en route to a 17th place finish, the highest placement for a solo Jigglypuff player at a national tournament. Although these results took advantage of the opponent's lack of matchup experience, they nevertheless were more impressive than the results of several other low and mid characters such as {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSB4|Kirby}}, {{SSB4|Robin}}, {{SSB4|Pit}}, {{SSB4|Yoshi}}, and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}. Due to this, its position has become a point of debate; some smashers like {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, and {{Sm|ESAM}} believe that Jigglypuff should be ranked higher while others claim that its weaknesses are too significant for it to be ranked any higher. Regardless, Jigglypuff is still considered to be one of the worst characters in the game and is considered nonviable throughout the game’s entire competitive lifespan.
