Pit in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Kid Icarus
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Availability	Starter
Final Smash	Three Sacred Treasures

Pit (ピット, Pitto) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. Aside from general graphical enhancements, he sports the animesque look he had in Kid Icarus: Uprising. His special moves have been given an extensive overhaul to be based on the weapons and powers he wields in Uprising.

Antony Del Rio reprised his role as Pit after Kid Icarus Uprising in Smash 4 as well as Palutena's debut trailer. A video showing his new voice can be seen here.

Confirmed information

• Pit has a new side special move called the Upperdash Arm. The Upperdash Arm gives Pit some form of launch resistance, just like homing dash attacks in Uprising, and the move also propels him vertically if he hits an target while airborne, similar to Raptor Boost.
• Pit now uses the Guardian Orbitars as his new down special move.
• Pit has a new up special move called the Power of Flight, which involves Pit charging up briefly, before flying far in a straight direction.
• Neutral infinite, as with other neutral infinite attacks, now transitions into a powerful hit.
  • His basic neutral attack (three slashing hits) deals slightly less damage.
• Final Smash is now the Three Sacred Treasures.
• Forward smash and back throw appear to have strengthened.
  • However, his forward smash deals less damage.
• Pit can no longer glide.
• A number of Pit's attacks (e.g. forward tilt, dash attack, up smash) deal less damage than in Brawl. His forward tilt also has more ending lag.
  • His dash attack has less ending lag.
• Pit now has a clear sweetspot at the tip of his swords, whereas the center hits a bit softer, similar to Marth's sword.
  • Pit's swords has now a flash to indicate a successful sweetspot.
• Pit's pose when charging and firing Palutena's Arrow has been slightly altered to look sharper.
  • It has much more startup, deals less damage, and the arrows produced vanish after a short time.
• Pit's neutral aerial is now his forward aerial.
• Up tilt's animation has been changed. It now resembles Sonic's up tilt.
  • It has less lag throughout and appears to be stronger.
  • It deals noticeably less damage, dealing 10% instead of 16%.
• When using his side taunt, Pit now says "That all you got?"
• Pit's rolling dodges include the sound made in Kid Icarus: Uprising when attacks are dodged.

The following appear visually unchanged:

• Up and down taunts
