Jigglypuff (プリン, Purin) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was revealed alongside the fellow Pokémon representative Pichu and the rest of veterans on June 12th, 2018. Like in games prior to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Jigglypuff is unlockable, instead of being available from the start. Jigglypuff is classified as fighter #12.

As in Super Smash Bros. 4, Rachael Lillis' portrayals of Jigglypuff from Melee and Brawl were repurposed for the English version of Ultimate. Mika Kanai, Jigglypuff's voice actress from all previous Smash games and the Pokémon anime, reprises her role in the Japanese version, respectively using a combination of new voice clips and the ones recycled from Brawl. Virginie Demians and Dina Kuerten's portrayals of Jigglypuff from Brawl were repurposed for the French and German versions.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Play VS. matches, with Jigglypuff being the 15th character to be unlocked.
• Clear Classic Mode with Kirby or any character in his unlock tree, being the 2nd character unlocked after Ness.
• Have Jigglypuff join the player's party in World of Light.

With the exception of the third method, Jigglypuff must then be defeated on Saffron City.

Attributes

Jigglypuff is a character of extremes, as evident with its attributes: it has the second-fastest air speed, the highest air acceleration, the slowest falling speed, and the lowest gravity. These attributes make Jigglypuff a very mobile character in the air. However, it has the second-slowest walking speed, the third-slowest dashing speed, the fourth-slowest initial dash speed, the second-lightest weight and the lowest jump force. As such, these attributes make Jigglypuff unable to quickly traverse the stage on foot without relying on foxtrotting, and susceptible to early KOs. To make up for its low jumping force, however, it has five midair jumps, which further enhance its aerial evasiveness. Its combination of light weight and floatiness results in Jigglypuff being fairly difficult to combo compared to most other characters as well, but conversely makes it fairly difficult for it to land.

Jigglypuff's main strength is its formidable air game. Excluding back aerial, all of its aerial attacks have lingering hitboxes and, in the case of down aerial, multiple hits. Their duration is the primary reason Jigglypuff is deceptively difficult to challenge in the air, as opponents will most likely collide within an attack's final frames. All of its aerials, aside from up aerial, also have enough range to be spaced correctly thanks to Jigglypuff's aerial mobility, allowing it to zone and approach opponents safely in the air. Each of Jigglypuff's aerials also have their own distinct strengths. Neutral aerial is its fastest aerial and a fairly strong sex kick, even when stale, and can easily gimp poor recoveries due to its late hitbox being sufficiently strong enough to do so. Due to its speed and power, it also works as a good out of shield or approach option, and its long duration allows it to break combos. Forward aerial has the second-weakest knockback of Jigglypuff's aerials, but this grants it good combo potential in return. It can also easily put opponents off-stage, and is the main component of the wall of pain technique: once an opponent with a poor recovery is launched off-stage, Jigglypuff can follow up with several other forward aerials until they reach the blast zone, where Jigglypuff can finish the opponent off with another forward or a neutral aerial. Back aerial is Jigglypuff's strongest aerial, an effective KOing option, and has a remarkable range, given Jigglypuff's small size; similarly to Marth, Roy, Lucina and Chrom, the move also has the interesting trait of completely turning Jigglypuff around after its use. It is also safe on shield due to its high damage output and above-average hitlag, though it is also Jigglypuff's slowest aerial, making it a bit predictable. Up aerial has a deceptively long-lasting hitbox, which can be problematic for any opponent that has issues dealing with juggling, and it is also a situational finisher near the upper blast line. Lastly, down aerial can be used as a highly damaging out of shield or pressuring option, and has low ending lag. It can sometimes also work as an anti-juggling option against characters with slow aerial mobility or moves. As well, landing with it can lead into various other moves, especially up tilt and Rest, which allows Jigglypuff to take stocks incredibly early.

Jigglypuff's unmatched floatiness, very fast air speed, multiple jumps and strong air game give it a tremendous off-stage presence. Due to lacking a traditional recovery move, its recovery is fairly susceptible to gimping, though its other attributes make its recovery very effective regardless. Its fast air acceleration also allows it to disorient opponents that attempt to edgeguard it. With the aid of Pound, it can also stall its recovery and protect its landing. Jigglypuff is fearsome at edgeguarding: with proper spacing and good timing, it can gimp all but the farthest distanced recoveries without being put at risk; Cloud, Chrom, Ganondorf, Dr. Mario and Little Mac are perhaps the most susceptible to its edgeguarding, as their recoveries lack both speed and resilience, while the latter four performances against Jigglypuff revolve around maintaining stage control most of the time.

Finally, Jigglypuff has a trump card in Rest, its signature move; it has very high vertical knockback at all percentages, to the point where it can reliably KO any character at 70%, but KOs most characters at as early as 50%. It hits on frame 2 with a flower effect and has full intangibility until Jigglypuff closes its eyes. In addition to being an incredible punishment option, the threat of Rest forces opponents to be very careful when using laggy moves, especially due to Jigglypuff's ability to perform an occasionally situational true combo into it. One of the best ways to confirm a Rest is with forward aerial: hitting with the move's final frames will lead into an unavoidable Rest, which becomes even more potent if used in the air or with high rage. Depending on the opponent's falling speed, a jump may be necessary to reach them. Another reliable way to confirm one is by landing with up aerial: should Jigglypuff land immediately after hitting the opponent, Rest can be landed without fail. This combo works optimally on platforms due to its limited percentage range and its ability to KO as low as 35%.

Up tilt can also combo into Rest on its own or after a landing down aerial, which can be used to rack up at least 30%, but opponents can be launched too far away past low percentages. Lastly, retreating with down aerial can also work, but aside from being the hardest to perform, it is also the least likely to succeed. Other methods of safely using Rest involve crouching, buffering, a footstool jump, a jab reset, or interrupting an opposing neutral attack, though few characters are vulnerable to these methods, and they usually require impeccable timing. Platforms can be a saving grace when considering Rest, as they can lead into 0% KO confirms on certain characters and, if they are moving, can make it a bit harder to punish. For all its potential, however, Rest has extremely slow interruptibility, making it very easy to punish if whiffed, though Jigglypuff can skip some of the move's ending lag if it is successfully landed.

However, Jigglypuff is held back by numerous weaknesses. The most detrimental is its survivability: Jigglypuff's stats result in it having among the worst endurance out of any character in the game. As a result, it can be knocked out as early as 35% with a sufficiently strong attack. Rage is an additional burden, since opponents can send it flying even earlier with it. These drawbacks force Jigglypuff to play extremely cautiously, as any damage taken can prove dangerous in the long run. Adding insult to injury, Jigglypuff has a unique fighter ability in which its shield jump has enough force to KO it even from the very bottom of Palutena's Temple. This makes shielding very risky at low percentages, as the possibly survivable punishes normally received after a shield break are replaced by a guaranteed KO that can only be stopped by a ceiling.

Furthermore, Jigglypuff has a very problematic ground game. While most of its ground moves are fast in proportion to their power, its lack of range and slow grounded approach prevent it from racking up large amounts of damage with only a few moves. This is worsened when considering the utility of its grounded attacks: neutral attack's incredible speed can lead into additional follow-ups, forward tilt is fast and highly damaging, up tilt can KO at unusually low percentages, and down tilt is a semi-spike with high base knockback. As for its smash attacks, forward smash has surprisingly high knockback scaling, while down smash has intangibility and the lowest launch angle of any other conventional semi-spike. Its grab game also has similar issues: while Jigglypuff has some of the fastest grabs in the game and a decently damaging set of throws, the former have very short range and the latter lack any follow-ups or KO potential, with its strongest throw, up throw, not being able to KO reliably even well beyond 200%. This also results in Jigglypuff being easily kept at bay by shields without the usage of Pound's high shield damage.

Jigglypuff's approach, despite being good in the air, is overall predictable. Most of the time, Jigglypuff might have to be close to the opponent, read its reaction in order to approach, or bait it in order to make its move. Its aerial moves are not good for approaching from a long distance as they are unsafe on shield when late, and its dash attack is terrible at doing so due to its long duration, despite its low cooldown. Coupled with the overall short range on its attacks, it has notoriously difficult matchups against characters with large disjoints like Ike, Lucina, and Shulk. Its polarizing mobility is also a noticeable flaw. Although it has among the best aerial games in Ultimate, its ground movement is one of the worst, as it does not efficiently give Jigglypuff the chance to traverse across the ground quickly like most other lightweight characters can, and in turn makes it very troubling on the offensive side of battle should it be going against speedy characters, such as Fox.

Overall, Jigglypuff is an air-based glass cannon that can quickly rack up damage or KO opponents, but can be KOed just as quickly. Its strengths are on par with its weaknesses, and while it has lower representation than most other characters due to its aforementioned weaknesses, it has received somewhat reasonable results from players such as Arika and BassMage.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Jigglypuff was infamous for being one of the worst characters in the two previous games (moreso in SSB4, where it is widely accepted to be the absolute worst character), due to its high amount of weaknesses, such as being the lightest and floatiest character (which gives it among the shortest-lived, yet worst disadvantage states), having a predictable and linear approach, its short range, lack of projectile, and being prone to projectile and mobility camping. These issues were made much more apparent in SSB4, due to the game's polarized balance and universal mechanics adversely working against Jigglypuff, the most notable being rage and ledge trumping. Most likely owing to its consistently poorly regarded status, Jigglypuff has been noticeably buffed in the transition to Ultimate.

Jigglypuff's most notable direct changes are to its aerial attacks and its special moveset. Like with most other veterans, Jigglypuff's aerial attacks have greatly reduced landing lag, which when combined with its faster air speed allows Jigglypuff to more easily string its aerial attacks into one another, once again significantly strengthening some of its lost combo game from Melee. In addition, Pound has less ending lag than in SSB4, giving it combo potential as well as helping with vertical recovery; Rest is now interruptible significantly earlier, being 20 frames fewer than previous games, and an additional 25 frames earlier if it connects; and Sing is notably faster with more range, along with its sleep time being increased, potentially making it a viable tool for the first time in the series, although it still remains risky and easily punishable.

Jigglypuff also significantly benefits from a few of the reworked game mechanics in Ultimate. The changes to air dodges and the reduction of edge sizes on most stages have virtually restored Jigglypuff's strong edgeguarding capabilities, exponentially improving its already high offstage presence when combined with its improved aerial kit and mobility, which allows Jigglypuff to perform techniques like its renowned Wall of Pain more effectively. The reintroduction of directional air dodges also grants Jigglypuff an additional recovery option, improving its offstage survivability. In addition, Jigglypuff arguably benefits the most from the weakening of the rage mechanic, which slightly improves its otherwise abysmal endurance.

However, Jigglypuff is not without some minor nerfs. Although Jigglypuff did gain a more useful forward throw, its already bad grab game was further worsened, as its grabs, while among the fastest, were made slightly more laggy, and up throw deals less damage. Pound's recovery potential was also nerfed, as Jigglypuff will no longer immediately accelerate in the air during its startup, making consecutive usage of the move a less effective recovery tactic.

Although Jigglypuff does benefit from the aerial-based changes to gameplay mechanics for Ultimate, some of the other gameplay changes have also hurt Jigglypuff. While the changes to air dodges overall benefit it, they also make Jigglypuff more vulnerable in the air, as they render it even more susceptible to juggling and now force it to mix up its recovery (though the latter point is slightly counterbalanced by the reintroduction of directional air dodging). In addition, the changes to jostling mechanics make Jigglypuff unable to pass through other fighters while running, making Rest much harder to land via running into opponents. Of note is that many of Jigglypuff's primary flaws that have plagued it in previous games are still present in Ultimate, such as a ludicrously low endurance, poor ground mobility alongside a very limited ground game, short range, no projectile, one of the worst grab games of any character, and being instantly KO'd if its shield is broken; none of these weaknesses were alleviated in the transition, either. Ultimate also includes many more viable swordfighters and zoners compared to previous games, both archetypes that Jigglypuff still struggles against.

Overall, Jigglypuff's buffs heavily outweigh its nerfs, and in result, it is significantly more effective than in Brawl and SSB4, becoming once again a proper "glass cannon". Jigglypuff has also received some notable buffs in game updates; while they have so far not fully alleviated its weaknesses, they have given it many more options that it lacked on release. However, Jigglypuff still notably falls behind when compared to its appearance in Melee, as its positive traits, while notably improved, are still not nearly as strong as in said game, while its drawbacks still remain intact from previous appearances. Because of this, Jigglypuff's perception within the community remains unfavorable: while better than in SSB4, Jigglypuff's tournament representation in Ultimate still remains poor, which coupled with a meager tournament impact, has led to many professional players considering Jigglypuff to be either a lower-mid or low-tier character, and some of them still considering it to be one of the worst characters (although commonly agreed to not be the absolute worst) in the game. In contrast, Arika has achieved moderately decent results in Japan, and Hungrybox, while not taking Ultimate as seriously, has had a few notable results at a local level. This indicates that, while Jigglypuff may have potential, its competitive viability remains a high topic of debate.

Aesthetics

• Due to the aesthetic used in Ultimate, Jigglypuff's model features a more subdued color scheme. Its irises are more detailed, and its eyes and ears are slightly smaller. It more closely resembles its appearance in recent mainline Pokémon titles as a result.
• The animation where Jigglypuff looks back is an idle pose rather than being a part of its main animation, although it reuses its idle animation from past games when holding a small item.
• Jigglypuff is slightly more expressive, using a wider variety of expressions rather than simply smiling. For instance, it appears angry when throwing an opponent or charging its side smash, and it has a pained look when shielding.
• Jigglypuff's ears fold slightly inward when using Rollout or Rest.
• Jigglypuff has new walking animations. Its slow-walking animation is a tiptoe similar to its running animation, while its standard walking animation faces more toward the screen.
• Jigglypuff's air dodge animation has changed, with it posing more gracefully during the ending lag.
• Jigglypuff has two new victory poses:
  • It jumps twice, spins around, and assumes a pose similar to its render from SSB4.
  • It runs into the scene, does a backflip, and assumes a pose similar to its official art from Pokémon Yellow Version.
• In the Japanese language, Sing and Puff Up now use a smooth echo effect instead of a reverberating echo effect, matching the rest of the languages (except the latter in English); the former's effect itself has also been toned down, and for the latter, it uses the regular echo effect used by other characters, instead of the voice clip itself having the effect, akin to the French and German versions.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Jigglypuff's jumpsquat animation takes 3 frames to complete (down from 6).
• Jigglypuff runs slightly faster (1.155 → 1.271).
  • Jigglypuff's initial dash is faster (1.4 → 1.65).
• Jigglypuff walks slightly faster (0.7 → 0.735).
• Jigglypuff's air speed is faster, now being nearly as fast as it was in Melee (1.269 → 1.332).
• Jigglypuff's traction is higher (0.0718 → 0.087), but much lower relative to the returning cast, going from the 2nd highest in SSB4 to now tying for the 75th highest in Ultimate.
• Forward roll grants less intangibility (frames 4-17 → 4-15).
• Back roll has slower startup with less intangibility (frames 4-17 → 5-16), and more ending lag (FAF 31 → 36).
• Spot dodge has less startup (frame 4 → 3) and ending lag (FAF 29 → 27).
• Spot dodge grants less intangibility (frames 4-19 → 3-17).
• Air dodge grants more intangibility (frames 4-29 → 4-32).
• Air dodge has significantly more ending lag (FAF 35 → 64), becoming the slowest in the game. This makes it much more punishable, and removes its former ability to bait approaches in combination with Jigglypuff's floatiness and fast aerial movement.
• The changes to air dodges significantly improve the effectiveness of Jigglypuff's aerial attacks, making them much harder to avoid. Thanks to this, Jigglypuff regains a large part of its edgeguarding capabilities.
  • Additionally, the reintroduction of directional air dodges further improve Jigglypuff's recovery, granting it additional distance after having used up all jumps.
• The homogenization of fall speeds during vertical knockback significantly improves Jigglypuff's survivability, but makes it considerably more susceptible to combos.
• Jigglypuff arguably benefits most from the weakening of the rage mechanic, increasing its endurance.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • The first hit transitions into the second hit faster (frame 9 → 7).
  • The second hit launches at a lower angle that is consistent throughout (55°/65° → 361°), and has more base knockback (22 → 50), increasing its efficiency in keeping opponents away.
  • Both hits have a higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 1.3× (hit 1), 1.7× (hit 2)), giving opponents more time to SDI the first hit and DI the second hit.
  • The first hit has altered angles (60°/78° → 361°/180°) and knockback (12 base/50 scaling → 18/20 base/25/20 scaling) to keep opponents close to Jigglypuff, akin to other neutral attacks. This allows it to connect better into the second hit, and restores its jab lock ability from previous games, but hinders its jab cancel setups.
• Forward tilt:
  • Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 25). Combined with the increased shieldstun for tilt attacks, this makes it safer on shield.
• Up tilt:
  • Up tilt has one frame more ending lag (FAF 24 → 25).
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has increased knockback scaling (55 → 68), allowing it to KO under 200% from the center of Final Destination.
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack's clean hit has increased base knockback (16 → 57), with its knockback scaling compensated (100 → 83). This improves its safety on hit at low percents, while keeping its KO ability at high percents.
  • It has larger hitboxes (5u (clean)/4u (late) → 5.5u/4.5u) and better hitbox placement, giving it more range.
  • It launches at a different angle (361° → 43°), removing its ability to lock opponents.
  • The clean hit has a shorter duration (frames 5-9 → 5-7), with the late hit lasting longer instead (frames 10-20 → 8-20).
  • The late hit has less knockback scaling (100 → 83).
  • It has a new animation where Jigglypuff's face is angled toward the screen with its limbs more elegantly spread.
    • Additionally, Jigglypuff will wince its eye upon landing.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash deals more damage (15% → 16% (clean), 12% → 14% (late)), with knockback scaling mostly compensated only on the clean hit (115 → 110), improving its KO potential.
  • The animations of both the charge and execution of the move have changed. Jigglypuff charges it by holding its foot behind itself, then swiftly swings its foot around to execute a roundhouse kick, similar to Kirby.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash deals more damage with no sourspot (14%/12% → 15%), and knockback scaling mostly compensated (105 → 100), making its KO ability more consistent.
  • While the hitbox placement is better, the size of the hitbox has been reduced (7.2u → 6u).
• Down smash:
  • Down smash has a longer hitbox duration (frames 14-15 → 14-16).
  • The changes to the 0° launch angle cause the attack's angle to increase at higher percents.
    • However, it has much greater knockback scaling (69 → 99), significantly improving its KO potential despite these changes.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag (15 frames → 9 (neutral, forward, up), 18 → 8 (back), 30 → 12 (down)).
• Neutral aerial:
  • Neutral aerial's clean hit uses an extended hitbox with better placement and horizontal reach (Z offset: 8u → 9u-10u).
• Forward aerial:
  • Forward aerial has better hitbox placement and horizontal reach (Z offset: 9u → 10u).
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial has less startup lag (frame 12 → 10), and endlag (FAF 40 → 36).
  • It auto-cancels earlier (frame 28 → 26).
  • Back air turns Jigglypuff around after its use, akin to Marth's back aerial. This is an overall nerf to the move, as Jigglypuff can no longer repeatedly use back air in the same direction. This makes it harder to land compared to other aerials.
• Up aerial:
  • Up aerial has less ending lag (FAF 45 → 40).
• Down aerial:
  • It auto-cancels earlier (frame 45 → 42), allowing it to auto-cancel in a short hop if buffered immediately.
  • Jigglypuff can no longer jump out of a full hopped down aerial onstage due to the changes to full hops, making it harder to follow up.

Throws and other attacks

• Grabs:
  • All grabs have more ending lag (FAF 27 → 33 (standing), 33 → 40 (dash), 32 → 35 (pivot)).
  • Dash and pivot grabs have more startup (frame 8 → 9 (dash), 9 → 10 (pivot)).
• Pummel:
  • Jigglypuff has a new pummel: it kicks opponents with one foot instead of slapping them. It also has an angry face.
  • Pummel deals more hitlag (5 frames → 14), but has significantly less startup (frame 10 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 21 → 7), shortening its duration.
  • It deals much less damage (3% → 1.3%).
• Forward throw:
  • Forward throw launches at a much more desirable angle for edgeguarding (55° → 35°), and has slightly more base knockback (100 → 103).
• The speed of back throw and up throw is no longer weight-dependent.
• Up throw:
  • Up throw has less ending lag (FAF 42 → 38).
  • It deals less damage (10% → 8%), although with its base knockback somewhat compensated (110 → 130).
• Down throw:
  • Down throw's first hit deals more damage (4% → 6%; 10% → 12% total).
  • It has more base knockback (100 → 105), and a lower launch angle (80° → 75°).
• Edge attack:
  • Edge attack deals more damage (6% → 8%).

Special moves

• Rollout:
  • Rollout deals more damage (6%-14% → 10%-20%), with its knockback not fully compensated (30 base/92/102 scaling → 60 base/60 scaling), increasing its KO potential.
  • It reaches its full charge faster (frame 60 → 51).
  • Jigglypuff's has a significantly increased fall speed (0.98 → 2.00) and gravity while falling during the ending of Rollout. As a result, it has much less ending lag on hit (FAF 73 → 53).
    • Due to this, Jigglypuff is able to move after hitting an opponent with Rollout in the air, like in Brawl, preventing it from self-destructing if the move is landed offstage.
    • Additionally, Jigglypuff can grab ledges during this state.
  • Grass terrain no longer allows for faster turning while using Rollout, but ice terrain still prevents turning.
  • Rollout can no longer be held indefinitely, instead being unleashed automatically one second after it becomes fully charged.
  • Jigglypuff cannot roll through opponents while turning, removing the ability to cross up counters.
  • Jigglypuff can no longer retain Rollout's full power when releasing it in the air and reversing it immediately.
  • After reversing twice, Rollout deals less damage than normal.
  • The duration of Rollout is now dependant on how long it was charged. Uncharged, this makes the move less laggy, as it has no hitbox, but with charge on it, the move's hitbox duration is reduced.
  • The aerial version launches at the same angle as the grounded version (90° → 30°).
  • Jigglypuff's rolling animation speed scales with size, so that it better matches the speed Jigglypuff moves along the ground, which is unaffected by size.
  • An unknown bug may cause the rebound to send Jigglypuff much higher, cause it to fall slower, and prevent sideways movement.
• Pound:
  • Pound has less ending lag (FAF 46 → 40) and has gained a hitstun modifier of 2, allowing it to true combo into other moves (including Rest), and slightly boost Jigglypuff's vertical recovery without use of a ledge.
  • It has gained a shieldstun multiplier of 1.5×, improving its shield pressuring ability.
  • It has more range when used in the air.
  • Jigglypuff can no longer accelerate in the air during the startup of Pound when acting out of a previous Pound before the animation ends, making consecutive Pounds to recover much less effective.
  • Pound's animation is longer (45 frames → 49), increasing the amount of time Jigglypuff's air mobility is locked if the move is not interrupted, and further worsening the above issue.
• Sing:
  • All of Sing's hits have less startup lag (hit 1: frame 29 → 27, hit 2: 73 → 61, hit 3: 122 → 100).
  • It has significantly less ending lag (FAF 180 → 150).
  • It has slightly more range.
  • It has more knockback scaling (30/10 → 40/30), putting opponents to sleep for longer as a result. Combined with its lower ending lag, opponents can no longer wake up before Jigglypuff can act.
  • Jigglypuff can move slightly while using Sing in the air.
  • Jigglypuff now blinks when releasing each of the sound waves, instead of opening its eyes completely like in Smash 4.
• Rest:
  • Rest has significantly less ending lag, especially if it hits (FAF 230 → 210 (miss), 187 (hit)), reducing the risk of respawning opponents punishing Jigglypuff after getting KOed by the move.
    • This makes it possible to recover back to the ledge after landing Rest offstage, albeit with significant risk of being edgeguarded.
  • Its hitbox size has been increased (3.4u → 3.8u).
  • Due to the altered jostle mechanics preventing characters from running through each other, Rest can no longer hit most characters out of a walk or run.
  • Rest triggers Special Zoom upon connecting.
• Puff Up:
  • Puff Up is much faster than the previous games. When it ends, Jigglypuff aesthetically "pops", and then deflates to normal size, mimicking a balloon. Jigglypuff additionally shrinks considerably faster at the end. It also has an angry expression while inflating, resembling the face the Jigglypuff from the anime makes when someone falls asleep after it sings.
  • The damage of Puff Up, previously 17% in a single hit, has been split into two hits that deal 10% and 25% damage, respectively.
  • Puff Up being faster means it can catch opponents off-guard easier and not give them time to prepare to try to survive it. On the other hand, the slower version could keep opponents off of the stage for longer and hinder their recovery by preventing them from landing or grabbing the ledge, while Puff Up being faster means recoveries don't need to stall as long to wait to get back on stage.

Update history

Jigglypuff has been noticeably buffed by game updates in Ultimate. Version 2.0.0 gave minor lag reductions and range increases, Jigglypuff's combo game has seen various improvements. Version 6.0.0 deceased the ending lag on air dodges, which no longer makes it as unsafe and allowing it to have better recovery and defense, and notably reduced vulnerability of down aerial and increased the hitstun of Pound, allowing new kill-confirm setups into Rest. Some top players agree that the buffs (mainly the ones in 6.0.0) have made it stronger in its punish game, with players such as Hungrybox have expressed more interest in the character and playing the game more competitively due to it. As it stands, Jigglypuff stands noticeably better in comparison to release.

2.0.0

• Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 25).
• Down tilt has more knockback scaling (55 → 68).
• Up smash's sourspot deals more damage, now doing the same damage as the whole move (13% → 15%).
• Back aerial has less start-up (frame 12 → 10).
  • The ending lag has also been decreased (FAF 40 → 38) and it autocancels earlier (frame 28 → 26).
• Forward throw launch angle altered (55° → 50°), now sending people into a more desirable angle for edge guarding.

Moveset

• Jigglypuff can perform five midair jumps.
• If Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it immediately ascends to the top blast zone and gets knocked out if there's no ceiling to stop it.

For a gallery of Jigglypuff's hitboxes, see here.

Note: All numbers are listed as base damage, without the 1v1 multiplier.

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack			3%	Jigglypuff performs two alternating punches. Both hits can lock, but the second hit will fail at percentages greater than 3%.
			3%
Forward tilt			10%	A roundhouse kick. It can be angled, and can lock at low percents.
Up tilt			9% (clean), 8% (late)	A scorpion kick. Unless the opponent has a tall hurtbox, this move will fail to hit anyone in front of Jigglypuff. Can combo into itself or an up aerial at low percents.
Down tilt			10%	A crouching shin kick. Launches opponents at a semi-spike angle, making it a good tool for spacing.
Dash attack		Jiggly Ram	12% (clean), 8% (late)	Leaps off the ground and attacks with a lunging headbutt.
Forward smash			16% (clean), 14% (late)	Holds its foot behind itself and then attacks with a lunging roundhouse kick. Can lock at low percentages.
Up smash			15%	An upwards headbutt.
Down smash		Jiggly Split	11%	A spinning split kick. Grants intangibility on Jigglypuff's feet (frames 10-12). Opponents with high damage are launched at a higher angle.
Neutral aerial			11% (clean), 6% (late)	A flying kick. It is a sex kick with a long-lasting late hitbox. One of Jigglypuff's best moves, as it is very safe and has decent knockback when sweetspotted. Commonly used to block opponents from reaching the edge.
Forward aerial			9% (clean), 6% (late)	A dropkick. Somewhat weak knockback, but good for spacing. Has a lingering hitbox (though it does not as last as long as neutral aerial's hitbox), while its late hitbox can combo into Rest. Autocancels, but only if quickly inputted after a short hop.
Back aerial			13%	A spinning back kick. This causes Jigglypuff to turn around, similar to Marth's back aerial. This move is Jigglypuff's slowest aerial, and it lacks a lingering hitbox unlike its other aerials, but has strong knockback and good range while still being reasonably quick, making it a potent finisher.
Up aerial			9%	Waves its arm in an overhead arcing motion. Good for juggling, and can be used to initiate combos if it hits an opponent just before Jigglypuff lands. Used in this fashion it can confirm into Sing on platforms if the opponent does not tech properly. Up aerial alone can lead straight to Rest in some situations as well
Down aerial			1.5% (hits 1-8), 2% (hit 9)	A diagonal corkscrew dropkick. Good out of shield option and somewhat effective as an anti-juggling option. It is slightly less unsafe than in the previous game with 12 frames of landing lag (down from 30), but should still be used cautiously. Even at high percents, it can easily combo into Rest.
Grab			—	Reaches out. Has very short range, but is very fast, with only Pichu's grab being faster.
Pummel			1.3%	Kicks the opponent.
Forward throw			5% (hit 1), 5% (throw)	Puffs up once to launch the opponent forward. Despite its moderate knockback, its KO potential is abysmal killing at 339%. Instead, it is much more effective for setting up edgeguards due to its low endlag and horizontal launch angle.
Back throw			10%	A German suplex. Like its forward throw, this move is useful for setting up edgeguards and it only kills at 316%.
Up throw			8%	Spins once to fling the opponent upward, leaving a trail of sparkles. Has high base knockback, but is offset by its low growth and only killing at 267%.
Down throw			6% (hit 1), 6% (throw)	Pins the opponent to the ground and then rolls back and forth on their back, which launches them upward and only killing at 345%. Does not combo, but has relatively high damage for a throw, especially in a 1v1.
Floor attack (front)			7%	Spins around to kick in front of itself and behind itself.
Floor attack (back)			7%	Kicks in front of itself and behind itself.
Floor attack (trip)			5%	Spins on the ground, kicking on both sides.
Edge attack			8%	Performs a flipping kick while climbing up the stage.
Neutral special		Rollout	10% (minimally charged), 20% (fully charged)	Rolls forward to slam into the opponent. Its power, range, and speed can be increased by holding the special button. It cannot be held indefinitely, however, and will automatically release a little bit after it reaches max charge. When fully charged, it does quite a bit of shield damage. If not charged until Jigglypuff glows, it will harmlessly roll once. On the ground, Rollout's direction can be changed mid-roll, which deals no damage until the turn is complete; in the air, pressing left or right will alter Jigglypuff's roll speed. When Rollout is fully charged, Jigglypuff will voice its name and briefly flash. Hitting a non-shielding opponent will cause Jigglypuff to rebound, which renders it unable to do anything else, apart from shifting its direction, until it lands or is hit. It can, however, control its direction during the rebound. This makes Rollout dangerous to use off-stage or at an edge, since the rebound will cause Jigglypuff to spin helplessly as it descends to the lower blast line. It can grab edges during the rebound, but it's still unsafe, especially if Rollout is perfect shielded.
Side special		Pound	11%	Rears its arm back and then throws a punch, taking a step forward. Deals moderate knockback, though unable to KO at realistic percents. Its momentum moves Jigglypuff sideways (which can be slightly shifted upwards by pushing the control stick up immediately after the input), making it one of the two special moves it can use to recover. It also does a high amount of shield damage along with large hitstun, and has a surprisingly large, long-lasting hitbox that doesn't lose power.
Up special		Sing	—	Sings a song that puts nearby opponents to sleep. The more damaged opponents are, the longer they will sleep, making them open for a followup attack, most notably Rest, even at very low percents. Jigglypuff can sweetspot ledges during the entire move, allowing Sing to set up a punish from a ledge. However, the song is short-ranged, consists of three brief pauses, and leaves Jigglypuff itself slightly vulnerable to being attacked. It can simply be shielded and has a massive punish window if blocked like this. Unlike typical up specials, Sing does not grant any vertical distance, but it does retain slight mobility .
Down special		Rest	20% (move), 1% (flower loop)	Falls asleep, dealing a single hard hit to any opponents directly touching Jigglypuff. It has almost no start-up lag (1 frame) and deals an extreme amount of vertical knockback if landed, and benefits from rage, due to possessing very high base knockback. It also puts a flower on the opponent's head that deals continuous damage. If Rest lands, Jigglypuff will be able to act as soon as its eyes open, making it somewhat hard to punish. It takes it slightly longer to act if it whiffs; after it opens its eyes, but before it shakes itself. Jigglypuff gains invincibility for the first 27 frames when the move is used (before its eyes close) which can initially prevent counterattacks from hitting Jigglypuff, though this is detrimental due to the move's extreme ending lag.
Final Smash		Puff Up	10% (hit 1), 25% (hit 2)	Rapidly inflates itself to a gargantuan size and launches all opponents near it horizontally while saying "Jiggly!" before "popping" and quickly deflating back to its normal size. Jigglypuff's size is so great when inflating that its body completely takes up smaller stages and even some medium-sized ones, making it difficult to escape. There are two hitboxes, with the second one dealing more damage and knockback than the first.

Taunts

• Up taunt: Spins around on one foot, then faces at the screen inflated, saying "Jigglypuff!" (プリプリーン！)
• Side taunt: Twirls around many times, then poses (similar to Kirby's side taunt, except it twirls faster). Performed significantly faster than in previous games.
• Down taunt: Breathes all the air out of itself and falls to the ground, flattened. It inflates itself upon contact. Similar to its fainting animation in home-console Pokémon spin-offs, such as Pokémon Stadium and Battle Revolution.

In competitive play

Although Jigglypuff has been moderately buffed in its transition from SSB4, it still held exploitable weaknesses carried over from the previous game. While its representation improved, other characters were also improved to varying degrees, thus still holding minimal success. However, as of patch 6.0.0 and its most important buffs, many players believed that Jigglypuff had potential, some (such as GimR, Maister, and ESAM) even saying it could be a high-tier character with its improved pressure and setup tools. In addition, Hungrybox has been doing better recently, having wins on RFang at Frostbite 2020 and having a very close set against Samsora at CEO Dreamland 2020.

In contrast to the advancing meta, however, fighters ranked around or lower than Jigglypuff’s perception have obtained much higher results, with some players arguing that its matchup spread, neutral game, and KOing options still remain poor. As a result, while players such as Armada still believe it to be a low mid-tier character, others such as Mr.R and Dabuz consider it a low-tier character, with some players such as MkLeo and Zackray considering it as a contender for one of the worst characters in the game. Some other players, however, are more optimistic about the character with Maister claiming that it is a high-tier character while ESAM claims that it is at the top of mid-tier. BassMage, who mains the character, also believes that it is among the top 35 characters in the entire game. As of now, Jigglypuff's true placement is debatable as there isn't a consensus amongst top players as to how good or bad it really is, however it is agreed that it is far superior to its iteration in SSB4 where it was widely considered the worst character in the entire game.

Classic Mode: All Original, All 64

Jigglypuff's congratulations screen.

Jigglypuff fights the cast of the original Super Smash Bros.. The order of the battles starts off with Link just like the 1P Game from the original Super Smash Bros. Therefore Jigglypuff's Classic Mode is a reference to the 1P Game from Smash 64 (as it fights the characters in the Original 12 from the original game).

Round	Opponent	Stage	Music	Notes
1	Link	Hyrule Castle	Overworld Theme - The Legend of Zelda (64)
2	Mario	Peach's Castle	Ground Theme - Super Mario Bros. (64)
3	Yoshi and Samus	Super Happy Tree	Yoshi's Story (64)
4	Kirby and Fox	Dream Land	Gourmet Race (64)
5	Pikachu	Saffron City	Main Theme - Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue (64)
6	Luigi , Ness , Captain Falcon , and Jigglypuff	Battlefield	Final Destination - Super Smash Bros.	Free-for-all. The enemy Jigglypuff has its 6th costume equipped, referencing the bows it wears in Super Smash Bros. If the player selects the 6th costume, the CPU Jigglypuff uses the default Jigglypuff .
Bonus Stage
Final	Giant Donkey Kong	Kongo Jungle (Ω form)	Jungle Level (64)

Note: Every stage (except for Battlefield, which was instead referred to as Duel Zone) and the tracks they play are all from Super Smash Bros.. Due to Planet Zebes and Sector Z being the only N64 stages that didn't return, Samus and Fox are paired with Yoshi and Kirby, respectively. Giant Donkey Kong is Jigglypuff's final boss instead of Master Hand (despite the fact that Master Hand was the final boss in the original Super Smash Bros.), most likely referencing his status as a unique mini-boss in the original 1P Game.

Credits roll after completing Classic Mode. Completing it as Jigglypuff has Pokémon Center - Pokémon Red / Pokémon Blue accompany the credits.

Role in World of Light

Finding Jigglypuff in World of Light

Jigglypuff is absent from the the World of Light opening cutscene, though it was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

Jigglypuff can be found in a green area at the east of a metropolis early by taking Sheik's route, and to reach it, the player must either cross a bridge or circle through a lake.

Spirit

Jigglypuff's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Jigglypuff in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Ultimate.

Trivia

• Jigglypuff is the only unlockable character in Ultimate to be fought on a Smash 64 stage, that being Saffron City.
• Ultimate is the first game since Smash 64 to have Jigglypuff's stock icon not include its entire body.
• Strangely, the second half of Jigglypuff's voice when it uses Sing is only present in the Sound Test when the language is set to Japanese.
  • Additionally, its voice clip when falling asleep is not present in any language setting.
• Jigglypuff's route is the one of only three whose route does not feature a designated boss at all (i.e. all opponents are otherwise playable), with the other two with the same attribute being Bayonetta and Terry.
• Jigglypuff, Ike, Ganondorf, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Link, Ness, Lucas, and King Dedede are the only characters in Ultimate who have kept the same falling speed for three games in a row.
• Although Jigglypuff faces all 12 characters from the original Super Smash Bros, Master Hand does not appear as its final boss.
• Jigglypuff is the only vocal fighter who lacks any knockback voice clips.
• For some odd reason, characters with Counters can counter Sing.
