Yeah I knew it was bound to happen. After trying out Wario I realized that jiggz is nearly a joke character. I really loved to use jiggz because of the whole counters metaknight thing, but I'm realizing that Kirby does better or just as good.

Jiggz really isn't fun anymore. For an aeriel character she really is slow and weak in the air. If I want to become more competitive as a player I'm going to face that facts that I cant bring jigglypuff to the top.

I'm glad I played jigglypuff but she was just a step for me. She made my spacing god like with everyone else but she felt like more of a training exercise to me.

Right now I'm trying to pick up Wario, Dedede and expand on kirby. My goal is to have Kirby as my main, Wario as my secondary, and Jiggz as my 3rd. I'd still use jiggz for match ups I feel comfortable with but I don't see anything that Kirby can do better.

I'm sorry to anybody that thought I had some type of impact on this board but there really is nothing left to expand on as far as jigglypuff goes. Which is sad since this game is barely a year old.

Sorry.

Jesus, you make it sound so solemn, like you're dying or something.

Honestly, I found you to be pretty helpful, but you gotta do what you gotta do. ...Besides, it's not like you'll be far away. :p

Its just kinda a big deal for me since I've mained her since the birth of smash. I don't know maybe I went overboard but I spend a lot of time on these boards.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I've moved on to Snake.

I mean, I'm still gonna friendly with her and take her to small stakes tourneys, but I've moved on. I feel like I'm at the top of her potential, and there's nothing more. She's helped me immensely and I'm gonna miss her, but there's only so much you can do with her.

And this really sucks, because I've mained her since 64. I feel cheap, dirty, and shallow. But onwards, in SSB4 when she's awesome again hopefully I'll come back to her.

Yeah I kinda feel like I'm abandoning her, but in a way she abandoned us by turning into such a ****ty character.

75% chance she's a female. So I'm playing the odds.

Plus the flower and stuff kind of tip it off.

Yeah I kinda feel like I'm abandoning her, but in a way Sakurai abandoned us by turning her into such a ****ty character.

He won't get grabbed as often. Jiggs has helped him with his spacing. He'll remember that when playing as Wario.

And yes, Sakurai did abandon us.

jigglypuff is a very surprising, fun, and useful character for those who play her right. sort of a secret weapon if you know how to beat some good matchups

good as an alt, tough love as a main

godspeed with your new characters glick

Glick, say its not so :p lol.
just some thing you messed up on in that post....

"For an aeriel character she really is slow and weak in the air"
R U sh,itting me? :-0

im not dropping jiggz. ill most likely stay a jiggz main forever lol. But im also trying new characters, like improving my link, falcon, and Dedede. Good chices though with Wario and Kirby. Wario has the same WoP as Jiggz does, and Kirby floats and attacks sort of link him. So it may not be a giant transition for you, and you will be used to using three characters that are to some extent "alike".

I've left Jigglypuff for Diddy Kong a while ago. Sorry to sound jerk like but I'm actually winning and beating better players now.

Jigglypuff is still my secondary but I'd never thought in a million years I wouldn't be maining Jigglypuff in Brawl (Unless Tails was in it then I would have pledged to main him).

That dosn't mean I won't stick around to improve the Metagame. Jigglypuff is still my favorite character and I'd really want to see Jigglypuff do better.

traitor. Remind me to destroy your new main with my Jigglypuff, as long as it's not Olimar.

jiggly just isn't very good in brawl. one of her main problems is that she dies wayy too early. some people here are pretty talented and have a chance to win money in tournaments. you could do it with jiggly but it would be very, very hard.

Eh, I've been busy with tournies lately. I went to one one last week and got 4th out of 39 with Wario. :)


But yeah, I've had no time for SWF, haha.

I'm sorry you have to switch, I'm trying my best to make more use of Jigglypuff but I can tell her limitations now from facing someone who's amazing at shiek but... I won't give up. Still, have fun Glick! ^_^

I thought something like this was coming after seeing your Wario against Ryko over on youtube. Any chance you'll be pulling an illinialex and coming back?

Good luck with your Wario ;)

I'll always be playing jiggz just more in... friendlies. lol. Yeah but I have the opportunity and skill to do great things with higher tier characters, so I shouldn't let jigglypuff hold me back just because shes fat.

I've only been using her in doubles lately myself, so I'm in the same boat with ya. ZSS is looking like my new main, and Jiggly's on the back burner.

For me, she lost her fun factor in singles. And next smashfest at Ryko's, I'll make sure and be there the next time xD.

It's funny how this is the first thread I come to. I see Glick is about to give up on her and I'm coming here so I can learn her. I will miss Glick and his Jiggs.
Much Lotion to you.

You should stop lurking so much... How did you know about that?
I'm subscribed to Ryko's channel, I always check everything new he puts up xD. I've seen all of the matches with Glick (though they're mostly doubles) on his channel, expecting to see some Puff. But his Wario is looking really good so far.

Or did you mean about you also wanting to switch to Wario awhile back? You posted that yourself here :laugh:. Funny that in both cases, the character in the transition of maining is Wario.

This means a lot to the jiggz community!
I think so too. There's not very many consistent posters on our boards, usually it's just visitors. But, I can't blame Glick for wanting to win. Who doesn't?

...I saw the "By Niko_K" before I saw it was a reply to Glick's topic and had a quick thought "Wow, did he find something for Jiggly? Hell Yeah" xD. Nice job on that Ledge Float Cancelling with Peach.

I actually play jiggz as my third :p

I haven't seen it. I just play her the way I think works xD. Sometimes it's rather interesting.

Was this an onset from the Game Table tourney? I was watching ur matches with Snakeee and everything. You got a good puff, but ya i hear you i mained her in Melee and i play her for fun in Brawl. Wish she was a little stronger...

Hope you find a character that calls to you, good luck and show up at the next GT tourney eh?
