   Step 2: Using B- Using the B button can execute a lot of Jigglypuff's strongest attacks.

   Pound
   - When you tilt the control stick to the side and press B, Jigglypuff will do it's "Pound" where it does one punch in a certain direction.
   
   It can be used for horizontal recovery purposes, and can be tilted up or down after executing the move.
   
   Rollout
   - When B is pressed alone, Jigglypuff will do it's "Rollout" attack.
   
   This attack can be charged, and can charge on for a limitless amount of time.
   
   The longer it's charged, The more damage it will do. (Up to a certain point, however.) This attack will go in 1 direction, unless you move the control stick in the other direction you want it to go. (This attack will only go left or right) Sing
   - When you press B and Up, you will execute the attack, Sing.
   
   Sing is one of Jigglypuff's special attacks, but usage of it is not recommended.
   
   If you are near a player, and you use Sing, the player will almost immediately fall asleep.
   
   The move is easily punishable by air attacks, because characters cannot fall asleep midair.
   
   Rest
   - When you press B and Down, you will execute the attack, Rest.
   
   Rest is Jigglypuff's strongest move, if executed perfectly.
   
   When Jigglypuff is almost right on a person, and Rest is executed, it will send the other player flying away (They will literally be almost off the screen, or farther), and will do good damage, but is only meant as a "knock out" move because Jigglypuff will sleep for 3 seconds, even with you don't hit the opponent, which gives them the opportunity to do powerful moves like Ganondorf's Warlock Punch or Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch.
