Ok, pretty much all of you know me.
I have half the stickies here, and I haven't been on here in forever. Anyway, pretty much, I've been gone for a while, not been very competitive, so naturally I've won a tournament as Jigglypuff and recently placed 4th in another (yesterday).
Pretty much, I realized why Jigglypuff wins. She's a wildcard. She can win. I use Falco, Marth, and Jigglypuff, and do pretty well representing all 3.
Anyway, to the point. Save rest, don't use it for a tournament so no one expects in then represent, make everyone fear it and then outspace them.
Pretty much, what happened in this tournament, is I was in pools fighting a Toon Link (I ended 7-1). I was up two stocks to 1 and he was at 70%, and air-dodged with a DI up and in trying to minimize the damage from bair spam offstage, when I didn't bair. I jumped into him and rested offstage. Everyone was pretty shocked and even people who were playing noticed this. It causes people to be a lot more cautious around me as puff and it helps open up opportunities. She's a wildcard, use her as such.
Anyway, I was playing a wolf later, semi-serious set (after I had placed fourth, we would have played but we both didn't do as well, he was expected to place and I should have likely won or gotten 3rd). Off the startup, he was countering some of my moves and truly limiting my opportunities. I forced him to modify his approaches by constantly avoiding his laser spam and punishing his smashes (she can punish F-smash and D-smash fairly effectively) but he was still winning. Eventually I got him right under a platform, faked a few approaches quickly and then rising naired through the platform into rest.
This opened the game up so he was constantly forced to space further and further, worried about the repercussions if he stopped all of my approaches if he messed up. This allowed me to do simpler and more effective strategies at punishing him. I got roughly 5 gimps in a 3 game set against him, because rest intimidated him.

What do you think of my guide?
