## **Character Info**

A fan favorite of the early *Pokemon* anime, Jigglypuff is a Normal/Fairy-type with a penchant for singing. They can lull people to sleep with Their singing voice, which usually results in a subsequent pummeling from the offended 'puff. They will commonly inflate itself in a fit when angry. Word on the street is that they're counterparts with Clefairy.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

A Love Ball will be thrown out onto the stage, which Jigglypuff pops out from.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby gains Jigglypuff's hair puff and ears, looking like a proper Jigglypuff amalgamation!

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Spins around on one foot, then faces at the screen inflated, saying "Jigglypuff!"

**Down Taunt:** Breathes all the air out of themselves and falls to the ground, flattened. They inflate themselves upon contact. This is similar to their fainting animation in home console *Pokemon* spin-offs, such as *Pokemon Stadium* and *Pokemon Battle Revolution*.

**Side Taunt:** Jigglypuff, microphone in-hand, twirls around many times before striking a pose. This is similar to Kirby's side taunt, but the twirls are performed faster.

### **Victory Poses**

1. Jigglypuff angrily marches towards the camera, revealing their microphone to also be a marker as they scrawl all across the screen with black ink.
2. Jigglypuff falls asleep and then suddenly wakes up, continuing to drift in and out of consciousness.
3. Jigglypuff runs into the scene, losing their balance before backflipping and assuming a pose similar to their official sprite from *Pokemon Yellow*.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Rollout:** Jigglypuff rolls forward to slam into their opponent. Naturally, the longer that this move is charged, the faster and further they will travel. It cannot be held indefinitely, however, and will launch Jigglypuff slightly after the moment that it reaches maximum charge, traveling about as far as Ike's fully-charged Quick Draw. The move's direction can be changed mid-roll, though deals no damage until the turn is complete, leaving several defenseless frames during the turn. Generally, Jigglypuff will slam into an opponent and slightly rebound afterwards, bouncing back in midair before landing on their feet. Hitting a shielded opponent will allow Jigglypuff to dish out significant shield damage with a fully-charged Rollout, along with an immediate return to their feet.

### **Side Special**

**Wake-Up Slap:** Jigglypuff rears their arm back and throws a punch forward. It has a considerable hitbox, dealing moderate knockback and can be repeatedly stacked as its momentum continues to propel Jigglypuff slightly forward. Jigglypuff's punch can also be slightly tilted upwards or downwards with a shift of the control input. Besides being a viable recovery move, it can also dish out relatively decent shield damage and hitstun. The move deals extra damage to sleeping opponents.

### **Up Special**

**Sing:** Jigglypuff sings one line from their iconic song, moving nearby opponents to sleep. The longer that Jigglypuff's foes are damaged, the longer they will sleep. Most notably, the effects of Rest are significantly increased when used on a sleeping opponent, potentially knocking them out even at low percentages. Unlike in previous iterations of *Smash*, Jigglypuff does gain a slight upward momentum when singing in midair, like Yoshi's Egg Toss.

### **Down Special**

**Rest:** Jigglypuff falls asleep, just like it says on the tin. If the move connects with a foe just right, Jigglypuff will have directly touched them with their resting eyes, sending them skyward with a singular hard hit. The move also places a flower on the foe's head, dishing out continuous damage ala Lip's Stick. As aforementioned, its effects are drastically buffed if used following Sing.

### **Final Smash**

**Jigglypuff's Song:** Jigglypuff literally takes center stage as a raised metal platform appears in the middle background, complete with streamers, lights, and a large sign hanging over it that says "Jigglypuff" in the standard *Pokemon* font. With glee and a smile, Jigglypuff shouts "Jiggly!" as they grab their mic. Amps on either side of the stage help Jigglypuff as they sing an extended version of their trademark song, sending visible sound waves in a full 360-degree turn throughout the stage. They travel just slightly less than Final Destination in size and immediately make opponents fall asleep. They might wake up during the song, but will immediately be turned back to sleep if another soundwave hits them. The more soundwaves that effect an opponent, the sleepier they will become. Although they don't deal damage themselves, they are able to pass through shields, making dodges or flat-out avoiding them the only full means of evasion. Following their song, Jigglypuff will puff up to a slightly larger size out of anger, and receive a 1.5x attack and defense buff for 10 seconds as they can use their microphone to batter sleeping opponents, even drawing on them in the process. A number of silly faces might be drawn over the foes' and can last an entire match unless they're wiped or hit away, or replaced with a fresh one.

### **Extra Skill**

**Disarming Voice:** Jigglypuff takes out their microphone, screaming "Jiggly!" into it. A shockwave of sound emits from the mic, traveling about two Kirby's out in every direction as it surrounds Jigglypuff. Anyone hit by the soundwaves will become temporarily stunned and be dished meager damage and a potential defense de-buff for upwards of 5-10 seconds, depending on the opponent's damage garnered at the time of the attack. Like other moves in Jigglypuff's arsenal, it is also adept at breaking through shields.

## **Unique Traits**

Like Kirby, Jigglypuff can inflate themselves to maintain up to six jumps, with each becoming slightly less powerful than the last.
