'''Pit'''  ({{ja|ピット|Pitto}}, ''Pit'') is the main protagonist of the {{uv|Kid Icarus}} series. As the captain of [[Palutena]]'s [[icaruspedia:Palutena's Army|Army]], Pit fights on her behalf while receiving her assistance via {{s|icaruspedia|Powers}} and her vast knowledge in order to protect humanity and maintain celestial balance.
'''Pit'''  ({{ja|ピット|Pitto}}, ''Pit'') is the protagonist and primary playable character of the ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' series.


After making a cameo as a [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Pit transitioned into a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and has been a mainstay in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series ever since.
==Character description==
 
[[File:Pitsprite.png|frame|left|Pit's sprite from ''Kid Icarus''.]]
==Origin==
Pit is an angel from {{s|icaruspedia|Angel Land}}. His wings are only strong enough to fly for short distances, unless he uses the {{s|icaruspedia|Wings of Pegasus}}. Taking up his [[Palutena's Bow|sacred bow]] to stop the [[icaruspedia:Medusa|dark goddess Medusa]] after she attacked his home of {{s|icaruspedia|Skyworld}} and imprisoned [[Palutena]], he set out to gather the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]: the [[Palutena's Arrow|Light Arrow]], the [[Mirror Shield]], and the [[Wings of Icarus|Wings of Pegasus]]. Fighting his way through the {{s|icaruspedia|Underworld}}, {{s|icaruspedia|Overworld}} and Skyworld, Pit was able to gather the three treasures and defeat Medusa, ending her threat.

Pit is an angel from {{s|icaruspedia|Angel Land}}. His wings are only strong enough to fly for short distances, unless he uses the {{s|icaruspedia|Wings of Pegasus}}. Taking up his trademark bow to stop the [[icaruspedia:Medusa|dark goddess Medusa]] after she attacked his home of {{s|icaruspedia|Skyworld}} and imprisoned [[Palutena]], he set out to gather the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]: the [[Palutena's Arrow|Light Arrow]], the [[Mirror Shield]], and the [[Wings of Icarus|Wings of Pegasus]]. Fighting his way through the {{s|icaruspedia|Underworld}}, {{s|icaruspedia|Overworld}} and Skyworld, Pit was able to gather the three treasures and defeat Medusa, ending her threat.


Pit reappeared again in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters}}'' for the Game Boy, which served as the only sequel in his series for nearly twenty years. In this game, Pit was sent to train and gather the Three Sacred Treasures again so that he could defeat a demonic monster called {{s|icaruspedia|Orcos}}. This game went largely unnoticed, partially due to the fact that it was not released in Japan until 2012 via the [[Virtual Console]]. However, aspects of Pit's design that were introduced in this game, such as his redesigned blue eyes, brown hair, and laurel crown, as well as the design of the series' logo, made reappearances years later in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Due to all of this, ''Of Myths and Monsters'' is considered canon.

Pit was given a significant redesign for his inclusion in ''Brawl''. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] attempted to design him as if the ''Kid Icarus'' series had continued, with minor changes adding up to drastically change and modernize Pit's appearance, in analogy to the various tweaks that had been made to [[Link]] over the course of the {{uv|Legend of Zelda}} series.<ref>[https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/15390/sakurai-speaks-on-brawl-character-development]</ref>
Pit was given a significant redesign for his inclusion in ''Brawl''. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] attempted to design him as if the ''Kid Icarus'' series had continued, with minor changes adding up to become a big change, in analogy to the various design changes that had happened to [[Link]] over the course of the many games of {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series.


Following a surge of fan interest in the series due to Pit's appearance as a playable character in ''Brawl'', Pit appeared again in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', a sequel for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] which was released on March 23, 2012 and was also directed by Sakurai. Pit's design in this game is taken directly from his redesign as featured in ''Brawl''. In this game, Pit can't fly at all, and is once again tasked with defeating Medusa, who has been revived, and [[icaruspedia:Underworld Army|her army of monsters from the Underworld]], along with numerous other foes. After {{s|icaruspedia|Chapter 9}}, it is revealed that {{s|icaruspedia|Hades}} was actually behind all the havoc caused, using Medusa as a puppet leader. After many brutal encounters, Hades is finally defeated, leaving only his voice and soul to dwell.

This game also greatly expands upon Pit's personality through story and dialogue. Pit is a headstrong warrior that is fiercely loyal to those he has sworn to protect. However, he is extremely gullible and easily manipulated, having difficulty understanding sarcasm and metaphor. He is also a massive glutton, to the point where most of his decisions revolve around food and he gets upset when food is taken away.  
==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==
Pit does not appear in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' in any capacity. A popular rumor though claims he was planned to be playable in the game along with [[Bowser]], [[King Dedede]], [[Mewtwo]], and many other characters, before being cut for space/time constraints. However, unlike the aforementioned three characters, no definitive official source has ever been found that proves Pit was ever planned to be included as a playable character.


Pit reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a playable character. He has also made many minor crossovers with fellow Nintendo characters (''Tetris DS'', the ''WarioWare'' series, Club Nintendo comics, and ''Captain N: The Game Master''), all of which occurred before his reintroduction to the gaming community in ''Brawl''. Nevertheless, Pit's relevance in the realm of video games has been reestablished thanks to his appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. As of now, Pit is rather iconic in his own right.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
[[File:Pit Trophy Melee.png|thumb|left|125px|Pit's Trophy in ''Melee'']]


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
Pit appears as a collectible [[trophy]] within ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The only way to collect it is to snag it on the [[Snag the Trophies]] [[Bonus Stage]]. The trophy features Pit's older design from games predating ''Brawl'', although it features body proportions that are closer to his modern design. While ''Brawl'' was still several years away, a note which some believe to be foreshadowing of his appearance as a playable character in the next game is found in his ''Melee'' trophy: his trophy info cryptically asks, "Will Pit ever fight again?".

In the Nintendo poll for characters requested for ''Melee'' posted after the original game, Pit ranked sixth in the miscellaneous Nintendo characters bracket, with 5 votes, tied with the main characters of {{uvm|Shin Onigashima}} and {{uvm|Marvelous|Marvelous: Mōhitotsu no Takarajima}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html]</ref>

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Pit appears as a new playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He has been heavily redesigned from his original appearance and Melee Trophy, taking on more realistic proportions and is overall much more elegant. He is seen using all three of the Sacred Treasures from ''Kid Icarus'' as his [[neutral special move]], [[up special move]], and [[down special move]], albeit with changes from the original game. He is also seen splitting the [[Sacred Bow of Palutena]] into two sharp blades for his standard attacks, something that was not done in any previous game in the series. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Palutena's Army]], where he calls on Palutena to send her army of angel [[Centurion|centurions]] against the other characters.

[[File:Pit SSB4.png|thumb|200px|Pit as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]
Pit returns once again as a playable character in ''SSB4''. His design is that from ''{{iw|Icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', itself a slight refinement of his ''Brawl'' redesign. He is also no longer the sole fighter of his series, as he is joined by the inclusion of {{SSB4|Palutena}} and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}. Pit's special moveset has been heavily revamped, as he only retains Palutena's Arrow from Brawl as his neutral special; however, it is now known as the [[Palutena Bow]]. His side special now has him lunge forward with the [[Upperdash Arm]], allowing Pit to deal damage and even reflect some projectiles. His new up special is the [[Power of Flight]], which is an angleable recovery that travels a good distance, but has no hitbox. Mirror Shield has been replaced with the [[Guardian Orbitars]], which serve as both a reflector and a second shield of sorts. Due to Palutena being made playable in ''Smash 4'', Pit's Final Smash was also changed and involves him wielding the Three Sacred Treasures all at once. Both the Upperdash Arm and Guardian Orbitars are weapons from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.


Pit is tied with his [[clone]], {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} for 32nd/33rd place out of 55 on the [[tier list]] for ''Smash 4'', placing within the D tier. His recovery, while still long-distanced, was made weaker due to the loss of [[gliding]], as well as his jumps gaining less height. He was also [[nerf]]ed in regards to damage, start-up and ending [[lag]]. However, some of his attacks were given more knockback, granting Pit improved KO power compared to ''Brawl''. While seen as a respectable choice for tournament play, Pit currently has a relatively small player base.

[[File:Pit SSBU.png|thumb|Pit, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
Pit returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Unlike in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', he is an unlockable character rather than a starter character. He largely keeps his moveset from ''Smash 4'', but his Final Smash has been changed to the [[Lightning Chariot]], where he rides the Lightning Chariot and fires onto opponents on the stage, similar to the [[Dragoon]] item.


Pit was notably buffed in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of his normal attacks connect more reliably or have greater utility, and the universal reduction of landing lag improves the safety of his aerials. His KO potential has also greatly improved, addressing his arguably biggest weakness in ''Smash 4''. Despite the buffs however, Pit's continued lack of major strengths and general perception as an "honest" character has resulted in poor representation and results in tournaments, with many players considering him to be lower-mid or even low tier.

==Trivia==
*Pit is one of the four characters to have a different [[Final Smash]] across every entry since Final Smashes were introduced; the other three are [[Zero Suit Samus]], [[R.O.B.]], and [[King Dedede]].
*Pit and Dark Pit are the only characters whose movesets contain two different [[reflection]] [[special move]]s: in Pit's case, being [[Angel Ring]] and [[Mirror Shield]] in ''Brawl'', and [[Upperdash Arm]] and [[Guardian Orbitars]] in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.
*Despite being able to [[crawl]] in their respective home series, Pit, [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Young Link]], [[Link]], and [[Toon Link]] are unable to do so in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
*Pit, under the name "Kid Icarus", previously appeared alongside many Nintendo characters<!--Don't list them all, or we'll be here all day!--> in the series ''Captain N: The Game Master''. He was one of the series' main characters, along with [[Samus Aran]] (in the comic books) and [[Mega Man]] and [[Simon Belmont]] (in the TV show). Pit's appearances in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', respectively, marks the first time Pit appears alongside Mega Man and Simon in a video game.
*As of ''Ultimate'', Pit and [[Dark Pit]] are the only ''Kid Icarus'' characters to retain their English voice from ''Uprising''.
