Super Smash Bros Ultimate Full Character Roster, plus guides on every fighter in the game, covering changes, moves and alternate outfits.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is set to be the biggest entry into the series yet. It has the largest character roster of any of the games so far, boasting a staggering 74 fighters. It has every fighter that has ever appeared in a Smash game, as well as some brand new fighters. We thought it would be awesome to provide a detailed guide on each character, one which highlights the changes since the last game that character appeared in. In this Super Smash Bros Ultimate Jigglypuff Character Guide, we’ll take a look at the sleep-inducing pink pokemon Jigglypuff, including the Jigglypuff moveset, variant outfits, and final smash attack.

How to Unlock Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Unlike previous Smash games, fighters are unlocked in the same way for all, rather than character-specific challenges. This means that while it can be a bit of a grind, all you need to do is play the game naturally and you’ll eventually unlock all of the characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We’ve listed the three ways you can unlock characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate below:

  • Playing the World of Light single-player mode.
  • Completing Classic Mode with a character.

Jigglypuff Alternate Costumes in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Jigglypuff Alternate Costumes

There have been no official reveals for Jigglypuff’s alternate costumes just yet, but many of the characters revealed so far have simply continued using the same variants they did in the last game. If anything substantial gets announced, we’ll be sure to update this guide, but for now, it’s safe to assume it’ll use the same selection of hats and bows that it did in SSB4.

Jigglypuff Final Smash in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Jigglypuff is still using the Puff Up Final Smash. Its animation has changed slightly however, which you can check out in the video embedded above. Jigglypuff blows itself up to a huge size, then pops like a balloon, with a brand new animation as it deflates and sinks.
