At 1:02:15, Rest star KOs a Kirby in training mode at 60%. No DI there, of course, but on the other hand Rest might have been able to KO at less damage unless Yushako just happened to hit exactly the necessary damage.
Between that and her 4% pummel, the lesson is don't get close to Smash 4 Jigglypuff.
Nice!! Thanks!
So Rest seems pretty awesome in Smash 4! (Well Rest is always awesome, just not in Brawl cus it was too weak to kill until they are already in normal kill % and therefore almost never worth it).
Rest does 20 damage, and then does 35 (!) flower damage! Wow! Once again I'm really impressed by the design/balance in this Smash! In Brawl, it did 15 + 27 damage.
Rest launches Kirby very close to the point before you go offscreen at only 17%. It may be very possible that even with DI, Kirby can die to Rest at 30-40%, and almost surely by 50% it will be a guaranteed kill. That is around the strength of Melee's Rest!!! (Still depends on exact power confirmation as well as depending on where you use Rest in Melee since Rest still launches upwards like it did in Brawl and not diagonally like in Melee).
Rest seems easier to hit now as well! He was able to dash into a Rest. Correct me if wrong but jiggs couldn't do this in previous smashes, and this will really create more opportunities to use it.
I also notice that it may be the case that she sleeps shorter. When Kirby is launched at 17% and comes back down, Jigglypuff is already almost awake! Though of course this is hard to tell, I am only comparing it to videos of Brawl right now. It will also depend on how early you can jump/fast fall and reach Jigglypuff after being hit with Rest. However, with her rest doing a total of 55 damage, it's looking like trading damage can be a very good strategy. It would be a 55 damage to ~20-30 trade for most characters, and maybe ~40 at worst if there are some attacks like Rock Smash that do a ridiculous amount like in Brawl. Hurray, now Rest has more uses than simply to kill, and without being as impractical as the Brawl Rest!
REST IS AWESOME! **** YES!
