Did Sakurai intend to make Rest this good?

Jigglypuff's Rest has always been a threat in the fighting game, but the Ultimate version opens up a surprising number of conversion opportunities. This video explores whether the developers intentionally designed Rest to be this effective, examining the various setups that make it such a reliable finisher. From parry combos to aerial chains leading into the move, the technical depth available makes Rest conversions far more accessible than players might expect. The breakdown reveals how different combo routes—particularly fair and up air sequences—create legitimate paths to landing one of the game's most devastating attacks. Whether through high-level positioning or carefully timed follow-ups, mastering these Rest transitions becomes a stock-stealing tool that separates knowledgeable players from the rest. The video challenges the assumption that Rest success relies purely on reads and luck, instead demonstrating concrete offensive patterns that make it a centerpiece of the character's gameplan.
