So this time we're doing Jigglypuff.

This is one of Wolfs easiest match-up's. Her ground game is virtually non existent and her aerial mobility...won't help too much against Wolf. Rest was nerfed and the absence of decent range and KO power makes it very hard for her against you...The only thing you have to worry about is being Edgeguarded. Hard to edgeguard, what you can't get off the edge at all though :/

70:30 for Wolf. Jiggs poses absolutely no threat to Wolf. The only thing we need to worry about would be edgeguarding, but that won't be a problem for any good Wolf, because Wolf outprioritizes Jigglypuff in almost every other way.

Puff's pound has great priority. Anyone know how it holds up vs Wolf's aerials and pokes?

I would imagine that it(Puff) would pose a threat offstage.

It's definitely Wolf's favor, but Jigglypuff can pull some nasty moves off.
She can go from the downwards aerial drill to Rest, which'll leave Wolf higher by about 50% if she pulls it off (and good Jigglypuff players can do it rather consistently...). Wolf's dead at 79% with DI (from Jigglypuff boards) if he gets plunked by the attack.

And she does have power outside of Rest. Her forwards smash can start to kill at 130%, and Rollout semi-spikes...lights-out at 80%. Her forwards aerial can do a good job of forcing Wolf off-stage (Wall of Pain, anyone?).

I'd call it 65:35, Wolf's favor, a function of how Wolf carves her up and gets kills easier than usual.

This can be a very annoying matchup for wolf, there are just not too many good jiggs players.

The puff punch outprioritizes everything you do. Her dair drill will take you out of your forward b comeback everytime, which can be followed up with a footstool for a quick kill. Leaving the stage vs jiggs is practically suicidal. She edgehogs and gimps wolf very easily. A super defensive jiggs can give a wolf some problems.

Overall this is certainly in wolf's favor and the blaster is your friend, but you need to be very careful. Jiggs can kill at very low % with the rollout and drill to sleep combo. She also has a lot of gimps, easy edgehogs, and WoP. If your not playing careful, a good jiggs can ruin you quickly.
