About

The boy genius with a large arsenal of inventions.

Playstyle

Jimmy is one of the best setup characters in the game, with his wide arsenal of projectiles and long-ranged options. He also has access to Goddard, his loyal robot dog companion, who can control the stage and pace of the match. Jimmy is overall a midrange powerhouse with a tool for pretty much any situation.

If you like being creative with how you play and controlling a wide range of the stage, Jimmy is exceptional!

Metagame

Jimmy is ranked 4th out of 29 on the current tier list, in the S tier.

Jimmy's biggest strength is his creativity in his toolkit. All of his tools flow into eachother rather nicely, and a very creative Jimmy can solve just about any situation with the versatility provided by his kit. Jimmy is also gifted with a very high jump and his hovercar Up Special, making recovery rather simple for him. Coupled with his strong projectiles, Jimmy excels at playing keepaway. Of all of his strengths, however, Goddard is by far his best, allowing for stage control, mixups, and even ping-pong combos between Jimmy and Goddard.

Despite his strengths, Jimmy is not without some flaws. Notably, he struggles to fend off rushdown characters due to a poor out-of-shield game and not having many answers when the opponent escapes midrange. Jimmy also requires some time to set up his most powerful attacks, which means he might struggle if the opponent gets in on him too early.

Overall though, Jimmy's strengths largely outweigh his weaknesses. While he is a very technical character to pick up and play, he has received very strong representation throughout all of competitive play.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Goddard: Jimmy's loyal dog allows for a high level of stage control and edgeguarding that most other characters cannot compare to.
High Jump: Jimmy's high, floaty jump allows him to escape risky situations quickly.
Rocket: Jimmy's rocket Neutral Special is excellent for zoning and ledgetrapping.
Speed: Jimmy is fairly quick on the ground and in the air. This allows him to be a tricky character to catch.
Ranged options: Jimmy has excellent spacing tools to stay out of reach of opponents.
Survivability: Jimmy survives for a surprisingly long time most matches due to his recovery tools and his various projectiles.

Exploitable recovery: While Jimmy's recovery is fantastic, if not mixed up it is rather exploitable, since he doesnt have much space to go but up.
Rushdown characters: Jimmy has a tough time with characters who can get in his face and outspeed him.
Setups require timing: Jimmy has to plan ahead for his setups to succeed. You might need to set yourself aside a lot of space on stage to get Goddard set up at times, which is costly.
Poor OOS: In tandem with his rushdown problem, Jimmy doesn't have great options out of shield.
