No Jigglypuff for Brawl?

It just recently hit me that the likelihood of Jigglypuff returning for Brawl will be very unlikely.

Why, do you ask? One simple reason. Peaches final smash.

If peach posses the ability to make all the characters on the stage fall asleep then what's Jigglypuff supposed to do? Making people snooze is her signature move. It's still too soon to call it but Jigglypuff is probably leaving us this time around.



Good night Purin, good night. :(

Jigglypuff is coming back in brawl, I think that's a sure thing. You have nothing to worry about.

Think of it this way, Mario can use fire in his final smash and bowser uses fire in one of his moves.

So why can't Peach put people to sleep in her final smash and jigglypuff puts people to sleep with one of her moves?

Link has a sword and is slow: Ike deconfirmed

Not to mention this is the same EXACT logic of those Black Knight Haters.
I hate the Black Knight, and I don't use that logic.

...owned? Meh. Whatever, back to topic: I say the problem with Purin (yes, PURIN) is it's current popularity, and it's not making cameos in the animé anymore, where it was well... known and became popular.

A lot of people like Jigglypuff as a fighter in brawl though, I know I sure do anyway.

If Jigglypuff wasn't in the original smash game or melee, she'd have no chance of being in now. But because she's a unique character and she has a decent fanbase(around smash bros players anyway). I see no reason she should not be in.

She may not be as popular as she used to be pokemon wise but I think amongst Smash bros players she's pretty popular, Wheater you want her in to play as her or just use her as a punching bag, it all counts as popularity.

Thanks for your unneccessary opinionated "ownage", idiot. Sure, you hate Black Knight.

One could say that one hates Marth, Roy, and any Japan-only characters.

Tell me, is it really neccesary to call me "idiot" while I never insulted you?

Whatever, I don't care about your oppinion, I hate the Black Knight, I know it. But this is no FE Characters Thread, so I pass.

Jigglypuff may still return, but with Ness out... makes me doubt, I thought that all Veterans from the first game would return, and this happened.

It's for showing your logic is that you hate the Black Knight, which is an uncalled for opinion. Black Knight is the Darth Vader of Tellius' FE.


You forget the interview leak..

And Alvin (FE4) does the same. Oh! He did it first!

...What interview?

I doubt Jigglypuff is gone. After all, Great Aether is pretty similar to Triforce Slash, and Luigi's Fsmash will probably look a lot like Mario's.
Yeah, I don't think the single FS deconfirms Jigglypuff, but the lack of popularity now hurts her a lot.

Link has a sword and is slow: Ike deconfirmed

Not to mention this is the same EXACT logic of those Black Knight Haters.
That is a bit different... if Black Knight was slower than Ike... wow. It just wouldn't make any sense, at all. He would be completely unplayable, even Ike is slow to the point of near-unplayability, FAR slower than Link. I mean, he is slower than Bowser was in Melee!

Of course Ike shouldn't be that slow in the first place so making the BK faster than him is an option, regardless of how little sense it makes.

Who said they can't be as fast as eachother? Really, it all comes down to moveset; which neither could be clones at.

Some inteviews ended with some guys spilling up Jigglypuff, Luigi, and Krystal. Luigi is a confirmed character, Jigglypuff is confirmed to be in, and Krystal has a voice cameo somewhere.

I highly doubt the jiggernaut is out for Brawl even without the leak from interview because I think Jiggs has established him/her/itself as a unique addition to the roster with no major reason to remove him/her/it. Though I will admit putting people to sleep definitely would've made sense to her.

Yes, BK and Ike could be unique and slow/heavy, but when you think about it would that be the best way to represent FE? FE has a history that spans across currently ten games why give 2 out of most likely at most 3 reps similar builds when there's plenty of unique and interesting characters to choose from. Besides Ike in himself represents PoR and RD just fine, though I personally never saw him as a heavy character. Just my 2cents there.

... Jigglypuff is returning. I guarantee you - the waning popularity isn't a huge issue. And as for the original post... ugh. Use some common sense.

If jiggs is back in, they should change around some of her moves. I think she shared quite a few with kirby if i recall correctly. They were all A button moves though, and they were small in number, but it would still be a nice little change.

Miciah is the dudette Black Knight has competition with. She's acknowledged for being a female, unique magic user, and a lord. Black Knight on the other hand, is an antagonist, spice of PoR/RD, and on the poll.

Now, let's look at how they fight. Miciah is a poor fighting unit, I just keep her in the back and use her to pick off weak foes for XP.

Black Knight kills anything in one hit, if not two, and works as a perfect wall for weak ranging/magic using people when you unequip his sword(that's what I used him for in Chapter 7 when Jarod attempts to kill Miciah anyways).

I would love to play as a strong, heavily armored character. Black Knight's fighting speed would be like Bowser. Ike's speed would be like Donkey Kong/Link. Miciah's stat boosts are horrible, and she isn't even that good compared to Nephenee, Sothe, Elincia, and Lucia.

Actually, didn't someone say Jigglypuff was in for sure, I thought? I was thinking it was in an interview that someone said it...

:confused:

When did I ever mention Michiah in my post, or any of those other characters for that matter? I also mentioned that my personal stance was that Ike represented PoR/RD just fine and that there's more from FE's history they could pull from to add a little variety if they decided to add another heavy character. To be honest I always thought the Brawl FE representation would be Marth, Ike, and an FE7 rep(though that chance has been pretty much shot to hell). Not to mention the fact that fighting ability in games has nothing to do with their chances, Peach and Zelda from what I know weren't really into that much ***-kickery when melee hit.

I'm also aware that Black Knight was one the poll, but I believe he only got one or two mentions which so far seems to mean they become AT's or Bosses. I will say though with the way you described BK he definitely sounds more like boss material.
I'm not saying BK has no chance but I personally think they should spread the FE representation to cover more of the FE games timelines.

If you wish to continue this little debate I don't mind, just PM me your argument so this thread can stay on topic.

P.S. Jiggernaut for teh Brawl!!

Snake says don't worry, cause he really can't wait to wail on Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Mario.

And Jigglypuff can use Hyper Voice you know?
snake isnt only going to wail on pikachu, but also try to eat him too.
but ya jugglypuff should use hyper voice, it would give her a good attack to knock away those that are pressureing her.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Jigglypuff will be back and his Final Smash will be Metronome.

Mark my words.

I really really REALLY want to make a thread to make Jigglypuff's leak common knowledge, but I know I will be modded for it...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vmxj-cly1Dk

Go to 2:51 and listen closely to the question and answer. Bear in mind that Hayter did all his Snake translations for Brawl a few months before this, which included a Snake codec for every character in the game. Which means, HE KNOWS EVERY CHARACTER IN BRAWL. And since he made a codec for a character called Jigglypuff, it means that JIGGLYPUFF IS IN BRAWL.

Hope this isnt new to many people...

Jigglypuff can always use perish song can't she?

Also wasn't she unoffically confirmed to return because of snake's voice actor?

Exactly. Pokemon Final Smashes always use Pokemon game moves, and Jiggs already has Sing as her Up B! So what other characteristic moves are left? Hyper Voice and Perish Song. Both can be great final smash material. See what logic can do? Peach's final smash being bad news for Jigglypuff, ha!

I highly disagree with your theory, Jiggs a.k.a. Purin could have a differnt Final Smash move such as a Rolling Attack, but myself I will have to say that I could care less if she returns or not since she, he? was my least favorite pokemon in melee

The Puff is my secondary character in Melee, so I would like to see it return. And since the interveiw kinda confirms that, I'm happy! If the puffs final Smash was perish song, I hope it would be inescapeable, meaning the character would just fall down and lose a life. If they went flying, they might be able to get stopped by an obstacle. I've never heard of hyper song... must be from one of the games after gold and silver... I really want Diamond and Pearl. Darkrai is pretty broken.
