A lot has happened lately, a lot of which, could have been easily avoided, but you learn from your mistakes. You all have to realize, that you put too much power into one person's hands, and that, is a bad decision. To be quite honest, no one in this community deserves to be a leader, because no one has done anything in a tournament with jiggs. As Hylian stated before, no one comes here, because jiggs at the current state and time, sucks. You can argue that she's improving, but the tournament scene has not seen one quality jiggs come up and place well at a tourney, and theres a very big reason why.....
....You're all wasting your wasting your time writing about all these things like frame data and rests that are almost all very situational, and are very very hard to pull off on people that aren't computers. Instead of playing more, you come here and read about stuff, and test it on computers, and expect to get better. You don't get better by reading about it, you get better by getting your hands dirty, and by PLAYING this game. The tournament idea for jiggs was a great idea, but playing jiggs players can only take you so far. Wi-fi is definitely not the most desirable thing to grace this game, but it's still practice, and you get character match ups down. You get experience against qualitiy opponents, which helps you learn new things.
I'm going to encouarge you all to Join the AiB or GB ladder, and start playing matches. You'll get quality opponents, and it's relatively easy to set up, and on AiB has tournaments every day on wifi that will help you with the pressure of tournament play. You'll get better from these experiences, and not talking about frame data. G-reg and I played 5 games a few days back, and I think we both learned a couple things about the character, just by seeing new play styles, thats how you improve, you play others and you see what they do right, that you don't, and you do what they do, and they see what you do right, and they don't and they fix it. You start to morph the metagame, and you start to do well at tournies, and then people start noticing, and bam, you have your character getting respect.
You also didn't give other people a chance to state their opinons, without being rudely remarked at. People might be new, but people can have ideas, but don't be a jerk about it, because you're not always right.
I'm requesting being a mod in this section, I don't know if it will happen, but if not I'll advise Air. This section will not be dominated by one person, or one group. This will be the whole community. The Jiggs Back Room is useless, we shouldn't be excluding decisions from members especially something as simple as a character. You won't encourage new members if we have a small "elite" group. Secondly, we're starting a new chat on xat. There won't be one person with ALL the power, we'll have a group of people as super mods, and if someone has a complaint, it will be heard, and they will not be banned from the chat for having an opinon. If enough members agree, we'll make the changes. The Chat is a great way for people who have questions about matchups, to go and ask. Instead of having all these threads about things, we can keep most of this discussion in the chat.

Finally, I know G-reg doesn't post that often here, but I truly believe, if anyone should be giving insight about jiggs, it's G-Reg, he has more real tourney experience that most of us, and he's already doing some amazing stuff with jiggs, while only maining her for a few months. Give him time, and he'll be placing well. I'm encouraging G-reg to talk more about tournament discussion, and preparing for a tourney. I'll leave that one up to him.
I'm actually glad that what happened, happened. You guys can finally start growing as a community, instead of beng being held back by stupid stuff.
