Jiggly's down tilt

[furinto]

So I've seen Hungrybox use Jigglypuff's d-tilt to edge-guard a few times, but otherwise I almost never see this move used.

I hardly use it intentionally as it's so easily punished, and it often reminds me to be more sparing with Jiggs's ground game.

How do you all use her d-tilt? I don't see much of Jiggly in PM on the youtubes, so it'd be great to get some examples of how it's used best situationally.

Her down tilt isn't to great. If you can use a different move it would probably be a better idea

 

[JackDarkStone]

The only time I use it, is accidentally. It's honestly just such a **** move.

Want to talk about a **** move I only do on accident?



ftilt

I don't think ftilt is nearly as bad as dtil tbh.

Downtilt is pretty situational, I just never do it on accident.
100% of the time I forward tilt however, is completely on accident

Puff's jab, dtilt, and ftilt are all pretty much useless. Sure you can attempt a jab>grab but that only works if you jab an airborne opponent. Dsmash could be used if you want to pretend to be fox/falco, but I would much rather just go offstage to get the job done. Fsmash is only for hard punishes in the case where a rest isn't required. Puff has the most useless moves of any character and is unlikely to change.

She didn't necessarily need those in Melee. Honestly the only buff that could make Jiggs godd again would be nerfing other character's recoveries

 

[0RLY]

Just like how Fox doesn't need fair or Sheik doesn't need chain. Nerfs are never appreciated. Buffing puff just increases the fear that puff will gain more ways to set up a rest. Rest is so overcentralizing in puff's moveset that it makes her difficult to buff without the risk of making her broken. At the very least, I would like to see puff become less of a kirby clone with all her tilts being identical.

you could throw out dtilt for fun, as well as make your opponent say "why the **** did you use that move?" or "mistake?" and you just tell them "NOPE!"

Is F-tilt really a bad move? Why? I always thought it was really quick and easy to use whenever you ended up on the ground.

D-tilt is downright horrible though.

It has awful range and very little reward for landing it. The move is bad, simply cause almost every option is better than forward tilt

Huh... I'll be wary of that next time I play her.

 

[JackDarkStone]

It's only ever good if you're in a pinch and absolutely cannot quickly get in the air to do any other attack [f tilt]. But I can't think of a situation were jumping isn't an option.

Jab is used in jab resets. D-smash could work on an opponent that likes to roll a lot (covers both spotdodge and roll options). Sometimes when I'm in a MM and get cautious, even if it's something like a broken shield, I still F-smash, just to be safe.

 

[0RLY]

@ Mizter Ultimaman I guess if your opponent fails to tech right next to you, they deserve to get punished by jab reset to rest. To be fair, everyone can jab reset and Puff has the least range on hers. Puff is not nearly wide or ranged enough for her dsmash to cover spot dodge and roll. Even if she could, the reward is minimal and significantly less from just jumping and baiting the dodge into an appropriate aerial.

 

[SoulPech]

agree with ORLY. Most of her tilts are useless. I know in brawl dtilt tripped (but then again so did just moving), but you mostly don't want to use any of her tilts that's not utilt.

 

[MegaMissingno]

If you crouch something but you're not close enough to guarantee a Rest, dtilt is usually safe. That's something, right?

 

[SoulPech]

there are other better options then dtilt, but i guess it's something.
