Doesn't really need a win list as Zackray's a top player. Also, his UltRank placement is misleading as it was before Zackray picked up the Pits

 At the beginning of ''Ultimate's'' lifespan, Pit and Dark Pit were seen as characters who had improved significantly from ''SSB4'', with the universal increased mobility, landing lag reduction on all aerials, and new KO moves fixing many of their core problems from the previous game. However, their representation remained small due to how straightforward the characters are: professional players believe Pit and Dark Pit lacked an explosive factor in their kits, especially when compared to the rest of the cast, leading to the archetype that they were "honest" characters with average capabilities all around. Despite solid results from players such as {{Sm|Lucky|p=Germany}} and {{Sm|RaZe|g=SSBU}}, professionals such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|ESAM}} labeled them as a mid tier.
-In the current metagame, although Pit and Dark Pit received buffs in Patch 8.0.0 and still saw decent results at a regional level, their player base continued to shrink, with Lucky picking up {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}}, and RaZe dropping them in favor of {{SSBU|Link}}. As a result, opinions on the characters have remained largely the same, with them ranking 52nd on the first and current tier list.
+The character's representation remained largely the same from the early metagame to the end of 2022. Although some of Pit and Dark Pits' early metagame players eventually dropped them, new players came to prominence around that time, particularly in Japan, with {{Sm|Tet.}} and {{Sm|Nata}} seeing respectable placements and wins. However, it wouldn't be until {{Sm|Zackray}} picked up the characters in early 2023 before Pit and Dark Pit finally began making waves, as Zackray saw several top 8 finishes at majors using them. As a result and despite their continued low representation, opinions on Pit has remained largely the same if not better than before, and this opinion is reflected in their current placement, where they are ranked 52nd on the current tier list as an upper-mid tier.
