Jigglypuff is a veteran starter character from the Pokémon franchise. Unlike its traditional availability status in the Super Smash Bros. series and the original Super Smash Flash, where Jigglypuff has been mostly an unlockable character; its availability status in Super Smash Flash 2 is that of a starter character. According to developers, this change was made to appeal Jigglypuff's very early appearance in the game and because it is among their favorite characters on the game's roster. Its sprites are custom-made and based on its appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Its voice clips and moveset are directly taken from the same game.

Jigglypuff is currently ranked 31st on the tier list of C tier, a noticeable drop from 23rd of C+ tier last tier list and a huge drop from 2nd of S tier on last demo's tier list, causing Jigglypuff to have the second highest drop after Sonic. It has strong kill moves in its smash attacks, forward throw, and Rest. It has an amazing air game due to its high air speed; fast, high priority aerials that provide good spacing and edgeguarding tools; five jumps, which can be combined with its Pound to give it one of the best horizontal recoveries in the game; and its slow falling speed, which allows it to break out of juggles and remain in the air for extended periods of time.

However, Jigglypuff is the lightest and floatiest character in the game, which makes it very easy to KO in comparison to the other fighters, especially off the top of the screen. It also has problems with range, making it vulnerable to characters with disjointed hitboxes, like Lloyd and Meta Knight. Jigglypuff also has difficulties approaching, as it has problems dealing with projectiles while lacking a projectile itself. It also has a terrible ground game with a combination of poor ground mobility, short range, and slow speed in its attacks. As such, it currently resides in the middle of low tier.

Jigglypuff has a small player base and an overall lackluster presentation online. The only notable competitive Jigglypuff player is Chaunch, who continually defies the tier list by placing high in tournaments.

Jigglypuff is notable for being a light, floaty and very combo oriented character. Jigglypuff has decent air speed, but when combined with its floatiness, great air control, five midair jumps and good priority in its aerials gives it a great air game. Jigglypuff has kill moves in all of its' smash attacks, forward throw at high percentages and Rest.

Due its five midair jumps, slow falling speed, good air speed and Pound gives Jiggypuff one of the best recoveries in the game. This helps in Jigglypuff's great edgeguarding tactic in the wall of pain.

Jigglypuff has a decent grab & throw game, although it possesses one of the shortest grabs in the game. Up throw is Jigglypuff's best throw, where it can lead into combos at low percentages, and into a Rest against Captain Falcon and other high fallers. Forward throw is Jigglypuff's strongest throw, being able to kill most characters at around 100%. Back throw is good for setting up edge guards.

Jigglypuff is described as a "glass cannon", which is a character that possesses a potent offense, but an extremely weak defense. While all of its aerial attacks can easily combo into Rest — an attack that can KO at almost all percentages —, it is extremely easy to KO both vertically and horizontally, due to its floatiness, combined with its lightweight status; she has the lowest weight value in the game, currently. If Jigglypuff's shield is broken, it will be sent upward with enough force to Star KO it.

Jigglypuff has one of the worst ground games in SSF2, having the lowest dashing and running speeds, short range, and a somewhat high ending lag in most of its ground attacks, resulting in poor ground approach options. Jigglypuff's short range makes it vulnerable to characters with disjointed hitboxes, such as Ichigo and Isaac.

Changes from v0.9a

Main article: Jigglypuff (Super Smash Flash 2)/Changelog

Due to being a top tier character last demo, Jigglypuff has mostly received nerfs to its combo game and kill power. Jigglypuff benefits and is hindered by the low hitstun of the demo. Jigglypuff is much harder to combo than last demo, but has a hard time combo'ing itself, has less follow up options out of throws and has a harder time combo'ing into Rest. Jigglypuff's combo game is also hindered by its lower air speed. Jigglypuff also received lower invincibility frames to its rolls and air dodge, along with them being slower makes its defensive options more lackluster than before. With these changes, Jigglypuff is seen as a less effective character.

Aesthetics

• Jigglypuff has received a new idle animation.

Attributes

• Air speed was decreased.
• Air dodge has less invincibility frames and the length of the animation remains the same as last demo, making it very punishable.
• Roll is slower.
• Due to shield's depleting faster makes Jigglypuff more susceptible to its shielding breaking and being KO'd.

Ground attacks

• Forward tilt has more ending lag.
• Down smash is weaker and has more ending lag.

Aerial attacks

• Jigglypuff has less priority in its aerials.

Grab and throws

• Up throw can no longer chain grab. Due to the decreased hitstun of the demo, its much harder to follow up with Rest.
• Down throw can no longer chain grab.

Special moves

• Pound now has more priority.
• Rollout is stronger and deals vertical knockback.
  • It deals more shield damage.
• Rest is weaker, its hitbox is smaller and harder to combo into due to the decrease hitstun of the demo. It also has less priority, which makes it no longer able to be used as counterattack punish.
• Jigglypuff is able to combo an aerial Rollout into Rest.
  • Performing an aerial uncharged Rollout into an opponent and using Rest before Jigglypuff lands will result in the ending lag of the move being canceled.
