Jigglypuff's aerial moves are spectacular, and every single one is used quite a bit while playing her:

Her fair is great for edge guarding, combos, neutral, and sometimes killing.

Her nair is all around a great move, being able to kill, combo, edge guard, poke, and deal a decent amount of damage.

Her Bair is a powerhouse, a great spacing tool, one of her best kill moves, and very occasionally a combo tool.

Her upair is good for some setups, having a true setup into rest and other moves.

Her Dair is her best combo tool, and makes all her 0-death combos and has one of the best true setup into rest.

We all know each move contributes a lot for Jigglypuff, and it's a tough question to ask, but What is Your Least Favorite Aerial?

It's tougher now than ever now that each move is being utilized, so take your pick and explain why!

If you have any questions about any one of these moves just ask :)

My least favorite aerial is U-air
Even though I previously said it was my favorite aerial it is so difficult to get close enough in order to hit with it. Not only that, but unlike Melee it cannot lead to E-->Z P.Z Rests from a failed tech on platform, like c'mon that stuff is so satisfying. Lastly even when you and your opponent are up 75% of the screen it still has a difficult time killing and at the same time it cannot combo either rendering it as a juggling tool that adds % (how is that useful if my opponent is already at 150%+ filled with OHKO levels of rage and cannot die!?)
still a great move though:ohwell:

there is no bad aerial, I dont have a least fav.

People saying upair: uair leads to kills at 0-40%. It is only of the only aerials that can effectively do that. Also, Aron Ching is amazing with uair, truly fantastic.

A few weeks ago I would've said up air, but I've discovered that it's actually not that bad if you use it falling. It pains me to say this, but I guess my least favorite would have to be down air. Still a good move, though.

I don't think I have a least favourite; they're all pretty satisfying.

While its clear bair is a powerful move, it is my least favourite aerial in terms of its changes and the one that i find most frustrating to think about.

I'm probably one of the few people who hate the way it works in smash 4 and the fact that its been changed into puff's ko move.
In smash 4, Jigglypuff's bair now has a significant amount of startup, fewer active frames, less range, no longer combos reliably. It is extremely tough to land in my opinion. And is it just me or does it have a sweetspot which does more knockback CLOSER to its body?

It's just you. All of its hitboxes have consistent knockback.

Jigglypuff's aerials are probably her best characteristic, but I do need to say uair. Yes, it does set up into kills, which is fantastic, but outside of that percentage window it's an absolutely terrible move.

I wish fair had a little more power. Just a little. At least enough to have an effect with the shield stun mechanic

All of her aerials are great... but... down air has to be my least favorite. Mainly because of it's lag when landing. It does combo very well and I love to set up another attack when using it. However, that's about it.

It's just you. All of its hitboxes have consistent knockback.
No, that is exactly right. Both hitboxes have 120 knockback growth, but the inner hitbox has 30 base knockback while the outer hitbox has 0. You can very obviously see this difference just by going into training mode and hitting bair at 0%.
