How to fight Jigglypuff/Purin

[SneaselSawashiro]

Well, aside from my saltiness and lack of self-esteem that's been going on....

I will admit, among ALL the "BUFF THE PUFF" memes going on about in Smash 4, you'd think someone like me can actually deal with Jigglypuff/Purin.

Sad thing is....I can't. Especially when I play with Falco, Jigglypuff/Purin is one of THE MOST difficult characters to actually fight for me. Players basically weave in-and-out with aerials and just rack up damage off of powerful reads and spacing, and I even fell for Rollout a few times too. This often leads to frequent kills on me due to my stupidity.

The most recent player I fought against even managed to read my roll by just continuously running one direction and then the other way and suddenly dash attacking me.

So yeah....I'm pretty stupid when it comes to dealing with what's arguably "the worst character in Smash 4 who really needs buffs".

Any ideas? : P

Pick a swordy and laugh.

Juggles, rolls, any kind of GOOD airspeed, good range, kill power.

Basically just be anybody. Also, shield a lot.

Jigglypuff relies on defensive play. She has no good approach and when she is forced to she breaks. If you can force Jigglypuff to approach all should be fine! Just shield and punish accordingly when she does. Be careful of tomahawking though! People have a misconception that tomahawking with puff is hard and uncommon but a lot of good puffs do it fine and they'll use it if they have to approach.
