Why do people like Jigglypuff so much?

[Lord Viper]

Seriously, what is with the J-man's popularity, he's one of the lamest characters, but people cannot get enough of him! seriously though, im not sayin y'all are nuts for likin him, I just dont find him as an important character to the series. He coulda been replaced with like Sora, or Shadow or some amazing newcomer. Thats jus my thought.

lol, you really killed your self when you said third party characters instead of first party over Jigglypuff. XD

But your question, I'm sure many people in this thread just answered it, Jigglypuff is one of the well know Pokemon out there. Also, in the world of Smash, there is no lame character . =p

 

[Sychu]

This thread is proof that the Brawl section is all 12-14 year olds who's first console/Handheld was the Wii/DS.

I'm 18 and my first system was the SEGA GameGear that i received when i was 7 followed by a SNES and Genisis. Food for thought?
In regards to Jiggs she is Kirbys girlfreind/love interest so of course; Sakurai will always keep her.

i did kill myself with that, but that is jus who i'd like to see, not my fault people dont like it, and i shouldnt care if they do. but i appreciate the polite responses on here, tho, like this one.

 

[BrawlTilDawn309]

ok im about done with this topic, like i stated b4, i do not hate jigglypuff, maybe i jus didnt give her enough play time when i had SSB64 or when i play melee. in 5 days ill give her a fighting chance (wow that was a bad pun) thanks for the response.

 

[Tofu Beast]

are you kidding??

Jigglypuff pwns

 

[Monshou_no_Nazo]

Jigglypuff is popular because it has the characteristics of something that would be disliked, but people want to give it hope, thus popularity. That, and Japan loves cute things.

 

[Ogre_Deity_Link]

Dude. Imagine pwning someone with a freaking weak (read: powerful) pink puffball! I mean, sure, you could do the same with Kirby, but at least Kirby has proven to be a freaking force to be reckoned with! Jigglypuff though?

Owning someone with Puff-Fu is just hilarious.

 

[Linkster47]

Jigglypuff is a fun and good character. Many people have come to like Jiggs for its style, and I think it's a better character than Shadow the Hedgehog. That game was awful, one of the worst I've played besides the CDi games.

 

[Super Drybones]

You have no time to ponder such questions as jigglypuff just wasted a smashball.

 

[Krell]

I was going to come in here with a serious reply about why Jiggy is the man, but after seeing mention of the name Sora in a positive light, I lost any respect for OP.

 

[Nobie]

Jigglypuff might be what you would call Smash Bros' first "advanced" character. For a time no one knew what Rest actually did, and they all found it to be useless. It didn't help that the official guides and such said that it let Jiggly heal damage. Jigglypuff was considered by people to be a bad character.

So those privileged few in the early days of Smash 64 who discovered the terrifying power of Rest were able to shock and amaze audiences.

And then in Melee Jigglypuff became some kind of ridiculous DBZ-level air combatant. Which people liked.

 

[AznHalfCaucasian]

Cmon....Just look at it

 

[Kirby M.D.]

whats wrong with sora and shadow? u got any better suggestions mr. wise guy?

Ooh, ooh! Pick me!

You're and A troll for one. How about Stop and Posting? Also Proper capitalization and Is your friend. I for one would love it if Kill and Yourself were in, nobody really likes them except me.

 

[Arteen]

Jigglypuff was probably the fastest playable character to implement in all of Brawl, she's a two-time veteran, and she has a fun, unique moveset. That's why she's back, I'd guess. She was such a fun character in Melee, so I'm glad she's back.

 

[Tino's White Horse]

whats wrong with sora and shadow? u got any better suggestions mr. wise guy?

You sad, stupid weeaboo.

 

[RednaXale]

Sora?? LOL! That'd be the day...

Anyways, Jigglypuff the character is actually pretty good. Why it's one of the popular pokemon? I've not a clue.

 

[xl Lan lx]

Personally, I love the puff! Favorite character! :D

Fun to play, and I don't even need Rest to win which makes kids go "O.O" whenever I own my friends with him! ^_-

(And on a side note, Jigglypuffs can be males and females, so I say him :O )

 

[greenblob]

Because Jiggly is awesome? Do we really need to discuss this any further?

[Waddle]

Jiggz is a punk. Unless Mango or the King is playing as her. Then she's a ****ing queen.

 

[Xgamer245]

.....people like JigglyPuff???
Thats new to me....
If you had a choice...
Pikachu or JigglyPuff
Choose 1!
me= PIKA PIKA :D

 

[firedragon_jing]

Jigglypuff should have been cut in Brawl, her only form of popularity was through the TV show, which she is no longer on. Saying the fact that she's been around since 64 is no excuse, It's good to keep Nostalgia, but some things just need to be updated, like the cuts from Melee to Brawl.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

Even better!!! Jiggs or Mewtwo? Nuff said.

 

[greenblob]

You can't cut Jiggs on account of awesomeness.
Is Mewtwo more awesome than Jiggs? No? That's right.

 

[Spellman]

I only wanted J-puff back because he is one of the original veterans.

However, his appearance in Smash Bros. clashes too much with Kirby's, I find.

 

[Zevox]

Is Mewtwo more awesome than Jiggs?

Is Sonic blue? Is Yoshi green? Is Wario fat?

All four questions have the same answer.

Unlike Jiggs, Mewtwo served importance in the First Generation as the most powerful Pokemon. Mewtwo possessed unmatched power and is a legendary Pokemon, possibly the most powerful. Now I don't think popping out of a bush and putting people to sleep just to draw on their face, is anywhere near awesome. Jiggs is washed up, no where to be seen nowadays, while Mewtwo is still adored in the Pokemon community and wanted back in Smash.

 

[Joshua368]

hay guyz i dont like falcos to much either wouldnt it be graeat if he was taken out and replaced with my DREAM ROSTER of favoritests characters?!!lol

No. Seriously. No.

(Though, from a strict relevance standpoint - ignoring moveset and Smash64 nostalagia - I personally think Mewtwo was more deserving than Jigglypuff. But then again we're dealing with a roster with the likes of Mr. Game & Watch and Ice Climbers... relevance isn't exactly a top priority in some cases.)

 

[greenblob]

That's irrelevant 'cause Jiggs is awesome.

You can try to cut Jiggs, but you'll just come across a wall. Of pain.

 

[YinYang.ERROR]

Because people like big fat round juicy pink things?

Kirby should have no problem then...

Mr. Game and Watch is basically what got Nintendo started, Ice Climbers is also part of what I call the "Retro Movement", which happens to be relevant in some way.

 

[blooagga]

I love Jiggs I used to main him. But I would of actually liked to see Pichu in Final smash would defiantly be either giga pichu or landmaster of the yellow variety.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

Pichu is failure, Mewtwo is more deserving than both Pichu and Jiggs together.

 

[Yuna]

IIRC, Jigglypuff is to Japanese what Pikachu is to the Americans: The most popular 1st generation Pokémon. I've been told that Pit was originally slated to be in SSB64 but that he got bumped off by Jiggz because of her popularity.

Really? I'd heard it was because of difficulties animating Pit's wings combined with the ease with which Jiggly could be implemented by copying much of Kirby's basic design that lead to the switch.

Falco is another case.... his character has lost the majority of his popularity... heck, he wasn't very important in the first games to begin with. He has been replaced with the Nintendo signature love interest, Krystal. Krystal deserved the spot more than Falco did, seeing that her appearances lately have had more significance than Falco's...

Also, you can't use the excuse that Krystal represents the downfall of Star Fox, all you hardcore Star Fox fans who have been around since the original, me included, can't just be selfish and say that the originals are the only good ones and the newer ones aren't as good because they're not the same, things need to be changed up a bit, like the Zelda series which all have similar stories except for the cell shaded ones, the handheld ones, 2, TP which is still kinda similar, and the CD-I ones which don't really count.

Like it or not, the newer ones are popular amongst a lot of fans and have sold more copies than the originals.

Jigglypuff has popularity, both as a highly iconic Pokemon and as a Smash character. According to the poll in this very forum she places above Bowser, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, and Mr. Game & Watch. Should we remove all them too? Don't confuse your own preferences with everybody else's.

And the reason she places so high is only b/c of how the other characters turned out and b/c of mainly 1 B move. That's it, you take that B move away and she has nothing. All those characters you mentioned are more important to their series than Jiggs is to Pokemon.

 

[Monshou_no_Nazo]

People also likely hate Jigglypuff as a scapegoat to blame for their favorite characters not getting in. Again, Jigglypuff is too popular for it to be cut.

 

[pwnzorz]

1.) the jigglypuff song. (duh)
2.) jiggly's down+b
3.) best pokemon other than Pikachu in Japanese culture.
