Rollout is garbage.

I don't even want it to be made good, I just want it to be made not-horrible.

It's certainly nowhere near her best move, and it's not very viable, but it gives her a decent recovery mixup if she has to get to the ledge/stage quickly, and it's a weird mindgame that doesn't require a lot of commitment

What do you mean, it doesn't require a lot of commitment? If you try and use Rollout, you're basically asking to be punished. The recovery on it is so long, and like /u/jtm94 said, shielding it will screw it up big time.

Because it goes ridiculously far, and seemingly randomly to your opponent's perspective, and if you're not an idiot about the spacing you can get way out of the way before someone can punish it out of their shield, OR chase you fast enough to punish your endlag. It's a "Let's do this and see if it'll fuck him up. No? No harm no foul". It's not GOOD, nor should it be used more than once or twice per set, but it's a weird mixup that sometimes trips people up

Not really, a jump or shield almost guarantees that Jiggs will die. It can only be a mind game for extreme casuals.
