 As in ''[[Melee]]'', ''[[Brawl]]'', and ''[[Smash 4]]'', {{s|wikipedia|Rachael Lillis}}' portrayal of Jigglypuff from ''Smash 64'' was repurposed for the English version of ''Ultimate'', in place of {{s|wikipedia|Michele Knotz}}, who currently voices it in the ''Pokémon anime''. {{s|wikipedia|Mika Kanai}}, Jigglypuff's voice actress from all previous ''Smash'' games and the ''Pokémon'' anime, reprises her role in the Japanese version, with new voice clips. Virginie Demians and Dina Kuerten's portrayals of Jigglypuff from ''Brawl'' were repurposed for the French and German versions.
-Jigglypuff is ranked 62nd out of 86 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it in C+ tier. This is a striking improvement from its placement in ''Smash 4'' where it was ranked as the absolute worst character in the game, being ranked 55th out of 55 characters.
+Jigglypuff is ranked 62nd out of 86 in the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], putting it in C+ tier. This is a striking improvement from its placement in ''Smash 4'' where it was ranked as the absolute worst character in the game. Jigglypuff's strength lies in her superb aerial game, which is the result of long-lasting [[Aerial attack|aerials]] that, combined with her fast [[Air speed|air speed]] and multiple [[Jump|jumps]], can be used to wall out its opponents offstage. Jigglypuff also has a much easier time killing due to its quicker KO options, new KO setups, and more reliable [[Rest]] combos. Rest itself has more knockback and less endlag if Jigglypuff lands it, allowing Jigglypuff to escape potential punishes. Finally, Jigglypuff's ground game has been improved: its [[jab]] can confirm into [[Back aerial|back air]] or [[dash attack]] at high percents, its [[up tilt]] can combo into its other aerials and even Rest in some scenarios, and its [[forward throw]] can send opponents at a low angle, making it easier for Jigglypuff to utilize her strong edgeguards.
-Jigglypuff's positive traits would be significantly improved from Smash 4 thanks to the game's engine suiting it better as well the various buffs it received. Thanks to the nerfs to [[Air dodge|air dodges]], Jigglypuff could make use of its terrific [[edgeguarding]] game with its long-lasting [[Aerial attack|aerials]], her [[forward throw]] sending opponents at a very low angle, terrific [[Air speed|air speed]], and multiple [[Jump|jumps]]. It is common for Jigglypuff players to be able to kill at low percent quite often due to this.
+However, Jigglypuff still possesses many flaws. It still has very low range on its moves which makes it struggle against opponents with long range and characters who could [[Camping|camp]] very well. Its [[neutral game]] still remains poor due to its horrible grounded mobility and linear [[Approach|approach options]], and it can have a difficult time hitting opponents that outspeed it. Finally, Jigglypuff's survivability is poor due to its low weight making it susceptible to KOs at an earlier percent than normal, and as a result its susceptible to trades at higher percents.
-Jigglypuff also has a much easier time killing due to its quicker KO options, new KO setups, and more reliable [[Rest]] combos. Rest itself would receive more knockback and less endlag if Jigglypuff lands it. Jigglypuff's survivability was also improved as it is now heavier. This, along with[[rage]] being toned down, makes her a much deadlier character when it is at high percents, as she can abuse rage much more effectively.
+Overall, Jigglypuff's weaknesses balance out its strengths as it's a character who struggles a lot to get in, but has the ability to beat just about any character with only a few openings. Despite the character's inconsistencies and a small playerbase, Jigglypuff has seen strong representation at a major level thanks to players such as {{Sm|BassMage}} and {{Sm|Senra}}.
-Finally, Jigglypuff has an improved ground game, now possessing some fantastic [[Normal|normals]] such as its [[jab]] which can now reliably confirm into [[Back aerial|back air]] or [[dash attack]] for kills at high percent, its [[up tilt]] which can combo into its other aerials and even Rest in some scenarios, and its [[grab|grab game]] being ar better due to the aforementioned forward throw.
-However, Jigglypuff still possesses many flaws. It still has very low range on its moves which makes it struggle a lot versus opponents with long range and characters who could [[Camping|camp]] very well. Jigglypuff still possesses an extremely poor [[neutral game]] due to its horrible grounded mobility and linear [[Approach|approach options]]. If Jigglypuff can't find an opportunity, it will have a lot of trouble starting [[Combo|combos]] and closing out [[Stock|stocks]]. It still has issues trading versus characters due to her light [[Weight|weight]]. Despite being heavier and posessing an above-average disadvantage state, Jigglypuff still has poor survivability.
-All and all, Jigglypuff's weaknesses balance out its strengths as it's a character who struggles a lot to get in, but has the ability to beat just about any character with only a few openings. Despite the character's inconsistencies and a lack of any notable results in the early metagame, Jigglypuff has obtained a cult following player base that has achieved very impressive results thanks to the likes of {{Sm|Senra}} and especially {{Sm|BassMage}}, with the latter ranked 58th on the [[UltRank 2022]].
