The '''Angel Ring''' ({{ja|エンジェリング}} ''Angelite Ring'') is [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]'s [[side special move]]. He rapidly spins [[Palutena's Bow|his bow]] in front of him and [[damage]]s opponents while deflecting any incoming [[projectile]]s.  
The '''Angel Ring''' ({{ja|エンジェリング|Enje Ringu}}, ''Angel Ring'') is {{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[side special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It was replaced by the [[Upperdash Arm]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' onward.  
 
==Overview==
==Overview==
When used, Pit rapidly spins [[Palutena's Bow]] in front of him, [[damage|damaging]] opponents and [[reflection|reflecting]] any incoming [[projectile]]s, yelling "HIYYYYAYAYAAAAA!!!" as he does so.
To keep the bow spinning, the player must press the special button repeatedly, like [[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]]'s [[Spin Charge]]. Pit cannot move after the initial movement forward, which can leave him vulnerable. Enemies can jump over Pit to attack from behind; additionally, Pit is vulnerable to any ranged [[grab]]s like {{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Hookshot and Clawshot|Clawshot]] while using the Angel Ring, especially from behind.


If the special button is pressed once, Pit will perform a short dash forward while spinning his bow, then stop. To keep the bow spinning, the player must press the special button repeatedly, like {{SSBB|Sonic}}'s [[Spin Charge]]. Each hit deals 1% damage, but the move has very low [[knockback]] and hits 8 times per second, so it can easily rack up damage if the opponent does not [[SDI]] correctly.  
When Angel Ring is used in mid-air, Pit initially moves forwards, but resumes falling straight down after a short amount of time.


While grounded, Pit cannot move after the initial dash forward, which leaves him vulnerable to options such as jumping over him to attack from behind and ranged [[grab]]s like {{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Clawshot]]. When used in mid-air, Pit initially moves forward, and then can move backwards and forwards freely. However, the move's relatively high [[ending lag]] can lead to [[self-destruct]]ing if it is used offstage.
There is a small [[push]] effect in front of Pit once the move is ended.
 
==Origin==
There is a small [[push]] effect in front of Pit once the move is ended, making it harder to [[punishment|punish]] from the front. Combined with the move's ability to continuously reflect ranged attacks, Angel Ring can be useful for pressuring heavy projectile users, characters lacking good approach options, or opponents stuck in areas too tight to easily maneuver around the prolonged attack. One notable example would be using Angel Ring to pursue {{SSBB|Samus}}, as Samus cannot simply stop Pit with her [[Charge Shot]] or pressure using [[missile]]s. Instead, the Samus player would have to rely more on grabs or dodge through the attack's startup in order to hit from behind.
Pit could not use any sort of move like this prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', as his bow did not double as a pair of blades.
This is the only one of Pit's Special Moves not based on one of the Three Sacred Treasures from ''Kid Icarus''.

==Origin==
Angel Ring is a move original to ''Smash'' and does not reference any particular element from {{uv|Kid Icarus}}. The shape of the attack and name "Angel Ring" do resemble the stereotypical {{iw|wikipedia|halo|religious iconography}}, which is a golden ring worn above the head of an angel.
