Maybe I misunderstand your problem, but the only advice I can give is to play around with it in practice mode until you know exactly where the hitbox is.

15% of Purin's body, which is right in the center. That's where it must connect.

Practice on Bowser and work your way down to Pichu who is a relatively small target.

This is right up my alley...

I am known to be probably the best "rest" user out of everyone anywhere....not meaning to sound cocky...just want you to take my advice seriously. I highly recommend making sure you are in a position close enough to the opponent, that if you were both on the ground, you would move your opponent to the side. I can't give away all of my tips....but I also recommend putting yourself in the position where your opponent is going to be going within the next couple of seconds. When they get there....make them regret it ^_^

I'm always open for Jigglypuff advice... but remember I cannot give away all of my tips. AndenGold

I recall reading somewhere that said the rest hitbox is just slightly larger than a circle encompassing Jigglypuff's eyes, so try to use that as a rule of measure.
