The '''Guardian Orbitars''' ({{ja|衛星ガーディアンズ|Eisei Gādianzu}}, ''Satellite Guardians'') are [[Pit]]'s and [[Dark Pit]]'s [[down-special]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

==Overview==
Pit or Dark Pit summon two orbitars that generate shields on either side of him for a second and a half. They reflect projectiles (with a 1.5x damage multiplier) for their duration, similar to {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s {{h1|Reflector|Wolf}} in ''Brawl'', and push away opponents in the beginning. The Orbitars also protect their user from being damaged, [[push]]ing opponents away if they attack the orbitars even from up close (but the user must be wary of being [[grab]]bed). They can break after a set amount of hits by the opponents, at which point they will have a 10-second recharge time before they can be used again.

The Orbitars have a sizable amount of ending lag, whether they are voluntarily dropped or allowed to expire, which can leave Pit and Dark Pit open for half of a second. However, if they are broken first by powerful enough attacks, their ending lag is sharply decreased. This event allows swift counterattacking (such as punishing a Smash attack or [[Warlock Punch]]).

Because attacking the orbitars pushes opponents away, this move can be used as an [[edgeguard]] technique against a fighter with an attacking recovery such as [[Mario (SSB4)|Mario]], usually [[gimp|gimping]] them with the small push effect.

As a cosmetic difference, Pit announces "Stay back!" or chuckles upon activating his Orbitars, or in Japanese: "Hah!", "{{ja|守れ!|Mamore!}}" (''Defend/Protect!'') or "{{ja|当たるか!|Ataru ka!}}" (''Got ya!''); the very latter Japanese quote is taken from his original Japanese quote for his [[Mirror Shield]]. Meanwhile, Dark Pit announces "No way!" or grunts upon doing the same. However, his Japanese quotes are the exact same as Pit's, only in a deeper and more serious tone.

==Trophy information==

;Guardian Orbitars
:{{Flag|North America}} ''Guardian Orbitars are more defensive in nature than other Orbitars. When you fire a charged shot, they will create a shield that protects you and your friends. It's a good thing these float in the air on their own—they're actually ridiculously heavy.''
:{{Flag|Europe}} ''Not only can these orbitars create a shield, but they can also fire continuously! They're insanely heavy, but since they float in mid-air, that's not an issue. In fact, you could go into battle carrying everything but the kitchen sink and still be perfectly safe! Not that you should do that. But you could.''

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Pit|Down|name1=Guardian Orbitars|desc1=Shields your front an back and reflects projectiles, but you're vulnerable from above.|name2=Impact Orbitars|desc2=The Orbitars damage foes and knock them back. Won't shield you or reflect projectiles.|name3=Amplifying Orbitars|desc3=Boosts the power of projectiles it reflects, but the Orbitars can be broken more easily.}}
{{CustomSet|DarkPit|Down|name1=Guardian Orbitars|desc1=Summon shields that block attacks and reflect projectiles, but only from the sides.|name2=Impact Orbitars|desc2=Summon shields that launch enemies but don't reflect projectiles or block attacks.|name3=Amplifying Orbitars|desc3=Summon shields that are easily broken but boost the power of reflected projectiles.}}
#'''Guardian Orbitars''': Default.
#'''Impact Orbitars''': Can damage and knockback foes, but loses the ability to reflect projectiles and shield attacks. Gives Pit or Dark Pit [[super armor]] upon activating the move.
#'''Amplifying Orbitars''': Boosts the power of reflected projectiles, but the Orbitars are more fragile.

==Origin==
[[File:Guardian Orbitars KIU.jpg|thumb|160px|Guardian Orbitars, along with a charged shot, as seen in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.]]
{{s|icaruspedia|Orbitars}} are one of the weapon classes in ''Uprising''. Weapons in this class can fire two shots at once and have high homing, though they're not as effective in melee combat. Guardian Orbitars specialize in defense, and can project shields with charged shots.
