It's quite a jump in power level since Jigglypuff in the Pokémon games is complete trash and even Wigglytuff is kind of bad, even with buffs like gaining a fairy type and Competitive as an ability.

Saw a leak that there's another extra secret additional fighter that they're going to reveal in this challenger pack. Might've been an April Fool's video and I just didn't do the day math on a on video I wasn't bothered to watch.

Gave me an idea. Like how FighterZ added SS4 Gogeta and he breaks the game entirely because he has a meter that increases to level 7 and if you do that then his Level 3 super kills your opponent no matter what if it connects and he has one move that immediately gives you a Dragon Ball, they're doing the same thing here. It's another Fire Emblem character. But they embody the series more than the other characters. You land enough hits/ KOs on other characters? They level up. You might get more attack or defense or HP or all of them or none of them, it's all RNG.

And even more competitively banned character than Hero!

Pretty similar to how Pikachu and Raichu in the games are mediocre at best. But might be that Jigglypuff (along with its cute pink counterpart Clefairy) was apparently considered as a primary mascot of the franchise, and the anime uses it a lot basically as a plot device and/or filler. (I mostly remember the episode where Jigglypuff gets into a slapfight with an entire spaceship full of Clefairy, that was fun) And Sing is way overpowered even in Smash, let alone in the anime, since in the games it's a ridiculously inaccurate move.

yeah jiggly was going to be The Pokemon before they decided that pikachu was a better fit for the overall style of the original 151, although it was still a pretty prominent pokemon in the first gen media. this betrayal is why jigglypuff is filled with unholy rage

so, not banned whatsoever, and also not banned due to rng?

the complaint pros had with hero was that his menu meant there was a language barrier, thats why people wanted him banned. it had nothing to do with rng.

I think there were a couple of minor Australian scenes that banned him for RNG but it's never really caught on thankfully

Hero's RNG was 100% taken into consideration when discussing his ban, although the language barrier is the most tangible reason. It may come up again now that we have a high level Japanese Hero player floating around.

The reality of that situation is that Hero simply isn't good enough in a 1v1 meta to get the support for banning. If he was a top tier he absolutely would've been banned.

That was Clefairy, not Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff only became popular due to the anime.

The language barrier is definitely an issue with Hero. I can play him just fine in my house (where I have my Smash set to English) but I can't play him for poo poo on a friend's house (who plays games in Spanish). It's kind of a pain, and I imagine it'd be just as bad or worse on the receiving side.

On the bright side, this also means they actually have to take damage on their counter.

Yeah the gameplay style of "run away and fish for buffs and only engage when I'm temporarily the best character in the game" is super oppressive against characters that can't apply enough rushdown pressure to prevent that from happening.

Did they ever add those two Spirits that could only be obtained by owning specific games (one Ghost n Goblins and Persona 5 Royal I think?) to the normal spirit pool?

Not yet. I suspect that they'll be available normally when Fighter 10 is revealed and released.

This is the whole thing. Hero's RNG is absolutely anti-competitive, with crits and whack/thwack being the worst of it, but unless he's also as oppressive as Brawl MK or S4 Bayo, you'll never get the community to unify around a ban.

The theoretical reason for banning him based on RNG (as opposed to GnW or Peach who also have RNG) is that if you're down in the set and going to lose anyway, the "optimal" play is to swap to Hero and fish for Crits/Whack/Thwack and try to cheese a win. He's just not good enough or universally usable enough for that to have happened, but it's absolutely possible.

GnW has a move with a 1/11 chance of instant killing on a connection, the argument here is a steaming pile

It’s all moot anyway though because everybody should be playing Pyra and Mythra, the most fun characters put into Super Smash Bros: Ultimate

Optimal Hero play is blindly topdecking any spell as fast as you can, so this should be fine.

That hero is me and yes it was like that. I intentionally play like a dipshit because people in lower ranks let me. If you want to play people who are that bad, just drop your rank. It's fun to demoralize people in this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgaTdOaPJzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu2fhY3uhYQ

Yes, and that move has a small, slow hitbox.

Hero has that power on: All smash attacks, a projectile, a large front hitbox, and arguably an enormous ball that's the single largest attack in the game.

Game and Watch has a single random move (Level 9 Judge is survivable at lower percentages too), Hero's got random crits on all four Smash attacks and a random bank of 21 moves which can have their own random properties. It's a huge difference.

Hero (or Yuusha) is, in a way, the most honest character in Smash Brothers, as they freely embrace the strokes of good fortune the rest of us meekly pretend are expressions of our own gaming skill.
