I could care less about these silly tiers-attempt, but I find myself looking at this thread quite a lot for some reason, and when I do, I can't help but to notice the fact that a lot of people just place Jigglypuff at the bottom of the tiers list without any consideration, or without any objection by anyone. I realise she doesn't have as much fanboyism as Sonic and Ike, but still.
So, in melee, she was amongst the few to actually have the ability to beat the top-tiers, and I don't think I need to remind any of you who Mango or the King were, or still are for that matter. I still think she should have been in High tier, but that's not the point at the moment. So high middle-tier was where she was in melee, according to some people here, she mysteriously got the biggest nerf in the entire game and gets shot right down to bottom tier.
Rest, "what have they done to it", "OMG, where are my cheap 25% kills" or just plain old "rest sucks, donc jiggly sucks" is what I seem to hear a lot. I guess we can all agree on the fact that brawl allows most characters to go past 100%, some reaching 150%. Then I ask you, is 60%, maybe 70% on heavier characters, 80% on stuff like dedede which is almost unkillable anyways really that weak? I realise the risk-reward kinda fails here, but hey, we're talking about GOOD players here, aren't we? So SH-Dair auto-lag-cancels when FF'd right, which means dair to rest is actually viable now, hey, it's even a real combo. I suggest you look at some footage of Bowyer or something if you don't think this is actually do-able in real battles.
But really, rest alone didn't make Jiggly, she still chains aerials like the balloon she is, yes, it's avoidable, escaping is also possible, to an extend, but it got buffed. Jiggly can now SH-double-aerial, end in an uair, and you just got a perfect airborne punching bag. Not only that, stale-move negation means bair actually gets reduced knockback, no need to tell you what that means, I hope. Combine that with brawl's overall floatiness, and chaining bairs (or soft fairs) is a piece of cake.
Not only that, her fair gained a sweetspot, which is quite powerful, that basically means she isn't completly reliant on bairs anymore. Her uair also got better, and her dair is more like its 64-self, also better. Her lacking approach is fixed by a great aerial game and the new airdodge-system, which aids her more than any character in the game, as she can stay airborn longer than any other character. The fact that she's light is compensated by Rest and the fact that you live longer anyways.
I'm not going to try and act like the next yoshi fanboy and be all "Yoshi got the biggest buff in the game yoshi for high tier", but I think placing jiggly at the very bottom below stuff like ganondorf is a sign of complete ignorance, and I figured I might as well cure it. That and I'm bored and my bro claimed my Wii.
Just wanted to say that, feel free to just ignore me and go on about how Pikachu, Yoshi and DK are going to dominate this game.
. I don't understand why you brought up Pikachu, but DK is just unpopular, not sucky.
