}}

Rather than retaining Lani Minella as his voice actor from the English version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Pit is now voiced by Antony Del Rio, who reprises his role from the English version of ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. However, he remains uncredited, possibly due to being a union-based voice actor. Minami Takayama, who voiced Pit in the Japanese versions of ''Brawl'' and ''Uprising'', also reprises her role, with new voice clips.

Pit is also among the handful of characters who possesses [[Double jump#Multiple double jumps|multiple double jumps]], which not only assists his recovery and landing options, but also makes him very capable at [[edge-guarding]]. Lastly, Pit's grab game has improved considerably: his forward throw now possesses KO potential, and the changes to [[hitstun canceling]] have made his down throw into a very reliable combo starter.

Despite his strengths, Pit does have some weaknesses. Like {{SSB4|Mario}}, most characters are able to outperform him in various areas: as examples, Mario himself and {{SSB4|Luigi}} have more versatile combo games; {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} has better mobility; {{SSB4|Link}} and {{SSB4|Toon Link}} are better at [[camp]]ing; {{SSB4|Cloud}} has greater range; and {{SSB4|Charizard}} is overall much stronger. Pit's KO potential, however, is his most noticeable weakness. Despite possessing a serviceable amount of KOing options, only his forward smash and up smash are consistently effective, and even these are highly unsafe on shield. In comparison, his other KOing options are only effective when sweetspotted (forward tilt and back aerial), or at very high percentages (down smash, forward throw and [[Upperdash Arm]]). This, in turn, is further compounded by his lack of guaranteed KO set-ups.

Each of Pit's aerials also come with noticeable drawbacks. Neutral aerial has notoriously small loop hitboxes which opponents can SDI out of; forward aerial has small initial hitboxes; up aerial is among the slowest in the game relative to its power; and down aerial is inconsistent because its multiple hitboxes launch at different angles. Although all of Pit's aerials auto-cancel with a short hop, none of them auto-cancel with a short hop buffered fast fall. This means that all Pit players must manually delay their fast fall perfectly in order to use neutral, back and forward aerials effectively. This can also make Pit's combos and pressure game difficult to execute.

*{{change|Pit is significantly more expressive. He now scowls with his mouth open during certain attacks; appears alarmed upon [[tripping]]; blushes while being [[grab]]bed; his irises shrink while [[teeter]]ing and {{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}}upon being [[screen KO]]'d; and he {{GameIcon|ssb4-u}}sports a toothy smirk during his new [[victory pose]]. Each of these new expressions are largely based on Pit's expressions used during his conversations in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''.}}

*{{change|Pit's on-screen appearance has an updated sound taken directly from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', which plays when he descends onto the ground after starting missions or reviving from tall heights.}}

*{{change|Dash's animation has changed. It is now based on Pit's running animation in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.}}

*{{change|[[Roll]]s, [[spot dodge]] and [[air dodge]] have updated sound effects. They now emit the same sound effect as Pit's dodge from ''Uprising''.}}

*{{change|Pit now says "Come on!" during his up taunt, "That all you got?" during his side taunt, and occasionally "I'm finished!" upon being KO'd. These are alternate translations of his respective quotes in Japanese, which are unchanged. The lattermost being quoted directly from the English releases of ''Kid Icarus'' games, makes having the reference in both Japanese and English. Down taunt is also lower pitched.}}

*{{change|{{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}} is thicker, slightly longer, and its blades' edges and [[wikipedia:Fuller (weapon)|fullers]] are now metallic gold and cerulean respectively, instead of aureolin and ultramarine, respectively. Additionally, its trail is now whitish gold with cerulean accents, instead of whitish amber. Lastly, its bow and blade swings' sound clips are lower pitched.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral attack's first two hits have more ending lag (FAF 20 (hit 1)/21 (hit 2) → 27/30).}}

**{{nerf|The first two hits transition into the next hit later (frame 9 → 12).}}

**{{buff|The first hit deals more knockback (10 (base), 40 (scaling) → 38/30), which prevents certain characters from escaping the second hit at lower percents as well as improving its [[jab cancel]]ing potential (despite its higher ending lag).}}

**{{buff|The first hit's angles have been altered (80° → 50°/90°), which overall makes it connect more reliably into the second hit.}}

**{{change|The second hit now uses static extended hitboxes. This gives it more range during its second active frame but this also reduces its range above and behind Pit during this frame.}}

**{{change|The second hit's far hitbox launches opponents at a lower angle (140° → 120°).}}

**{{nerf|The second hit's far hitboxes are smaller (3.2u/4.32u → 3u/3u).}}

**{{buff|The third hit deals more knockback (50 (base), 70 (scaling) → 60/100).}}

**{{nerf|The third hit's far hitboxes are smaller (4.5u/3.84u → 3.8u/2.9u).}}

**{{buff|The infinite has a lower [[SDI]] multiplier (1.5x/1.3x → 1x) which along with the weakening of the mechanic, makes the infinite more difficult to escape from.}}

**{{buff|The infinite's far hitbox is larger (3.8u → 4u), it is extended and it extends further away from Pit (z offset: 16 → z strectch: 17), giving it more range.}}

**{{change|The infinite's angles have been altered (110°/20°/10°/361° → 25°/120°).}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{buff|Forward tilt has a new animation where Pit performs a scissoring slash while arcing his body. Pit now moves his body forwards which gives the move more range, despite its hitboxes not extending nearly as far from Pit (z offset: 21 → z stretch: 14).}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt has less startup with a longer duration (frames 14-16 → 10-14).}}

***{{nerf|However, its total duration was unchanged, giving it more ending lag.}}

**{{change|Forward tilt's hitboxes are positioned slightly higher (y offset: 7.2 → 7.5).}}

**{{change|Forward tilt now always launches opponents in the direction Pit is facing.}}

**{{nerf|Forward tilt has smaller hitboxes (5.2u/4.8u/3.84u/4.8u → 3.5u/3.5u).}}

*[[Up tilt]]:

**{{change|Pit's up tilt has a new animation where he performs a bicycle kick followed by a stretch kick.}}

**{{buff|The first hit is larger (3.5u → 4.5u) and it has been moved further away from Pit (z offset: 0 → 8.5), giving it much more range.}}

***{{nerf|However, this removes its ability to hit opponents behind Pit.}}

**{{buff|The first hit now launches opponents towards Pit (90° → 100°). When considering its altered positioning, this allows it to connect more reliably into the second hit.}}

**{{nerf|The first hit is positioned much higher (y offset: 1.6 → 7), hindering its ability to hit characters below Pit.}}

**{{buff|The second hit now has static extended hitboxes on Pit's fit, giving it more consistent range throughout its duration.}}

**{{nerf|The second hit has smaller hitboxes (3.84u/3.84u/5.76u/5.76u → 3u/3u) and its lower hitboxes have been removed, giving it less range.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt has a shorter duration (frames 6-8 → 6-7).}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt has more ending lag (FAF 30 → 32).}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt now launches opponents at an upwards horizontal angle, rather than a vertical or downwards [[meteor smash]] angle (80° (far)/280° (near) → 55°). This removes its ability to set up juggles (despite its lower knockback) as well as greatly hindering its edgeguarding potential.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt has a smaller hitbox (4.32u/3.84u/2.88u/2.88u → 2.5u).}}

**{{nerf|Dash attack retains the lower launch angle from its previous near hitbox (80°/70°/60° → 60°) which overall hinders its ability to set up juggles.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{buff|Forward smash has larger hitboxes which are now extended (4u/4.3u/3.3u/2.8u (hit 1)/4.1u/4.5u/3.5u/3.1u → (6u/6u/6u/6u)/6u).}}

**{{buff|The first hit launches aerial opponents at a much lower angle (110°/90° → 70°/0°), allowing it to connect more reliably into the second hit against them.}}

**{{change|The first hit launches grounded opponents at a lower angle (110°/90° → 70°/35°) and it has higher set knockback (40 → 43/53) against them. This would make it connect less reliably into the second hit although this is compensated by the second hit's longer range.}}

**{{buff|The second hit deals more knockback (30 (base), 108 (scaling) → 42/122), improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}

***{{nerf|The shorter hitbox duration combined with the hitboxes now being static also means that the move has less vertical range, both above and below Pit.}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash has more ending lag (FAF 48 → 59).}}

**{{nerf|The first hit has lower set knockback against aerial opponents (40 → 5/15). The near hit in particular (which has higher priority) no longer has enough hitstun to lead into the second hit, which allows some characters to avoid the second hit, hindering its reliability against aerial opponents.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

**{{buff|Up smash starts charging later (frame 1 → 2). This means that the move now have consistent startup lag, regardless of if it is [[buffer]]ed or not.}}

***{{nerf|However, the move retains its startup lag from the non buffered version, giving it more startup lag when buffered (frame 5 → 6).}}

***{{buff|This new late hit is positioned lower and further forwards than the previous side hitboxes (y/z offsets: 18/6.6 → 14/10), giving it more range below and in front of Pit.}}

**{{buff|The second hit has less startup lag compared to its previous non buffered counterpart (frame 11 → 10).}}

**{{change|The second hit's side hitboxes have higher set knockback (35 → 50).}}

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{buff|Neutral aerial has less landing lag (30 frames → 24).}}

**{{buff|The final hit has a larger hitbox (8u → 9.2u).}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has an updated animation where Pit now swings his Palutena Bow slightly behind himself for its last hit. This new animation is longer (51 frames → 67), increasing the amount of time Pit cannot grab ledges after performing the move.}}

**{{nerf|The final hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 1.8×). This makes it easier to DI and as neutral aerial cannot be [[frame cancel]]ed, this hinders the move overall.}}

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{buff|Forward aerial has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 12-15 → 11-12/14-15/18-19).}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial extends further away from Pit (z offset: 16 → z stretch: 18 (hits 1-2)/19 (hit 3), giving the final hit more range.}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial deals much less damage (13%/14%/15% → 1.5% (hits 1-2)/4% (hit 3)/7% (total)). The final hit's knockback was mostly compensated compared to the previous 13% hitbox (10 (base), 82 (scaling) → 20/180).}}

**{{nerf|Due to its multi hit nature, forward aerial has become less reliable overall.}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial does not extend nearly as far inside of Pit (z offset: 4.8 → 11), giving it much less range inside of him (especially the loop hits).}}

**{{nerf|The final hit has a much higher hitlag multiplier (1× → 2.2×). This makes it easier to DI (despite its much lower damage) and as forward aerial cannot be frame canceled, this hinders the move overall.}}

*[[Up aerial]]:

**{{buff|Up aerial has less landing lag (30 → 24 frames).}}

**{{buff|The loop hits' highest hitbox has been moved higher upwards (y offset: 17 → 19), giving it more range above Pit.}}

**{{buff|The loop hits' highest hitbox has higher hitbox priority (ID# 3 → 1), which overall makes up aerial connect more reliably.}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial has more startup (frame 9 → 12) and ending lag (FAF 45 → 50).}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial has a longer animation (44 frames → 59).}}

*[[Forward throw]]:

**{{buff|Forward throw has higher base knockback (30 → 50), improving its KO potential.}}

**{{buff|The hitbox has a longer duration (frame 12 → 12-13).}}

**{{change|Pit releases his opponent from forward throw one frame later (frame 13 → 14).}}

**{{buff|Back throw has higher base knockback (50 → 65), improving its KO potential.}}

*[[Up throw]]

**{{buff|The hitbox has a longer duration (frame 12 → 13-14).}}

**{{buff|The hitbox is now extended, giving it more range inside of Pit.}}

**{{buff|The changes to hitstun canceling and DI significantly improve down throw's combo potential despite its lower launch angle (80° → 70°).}}

*[[Floor attack]]s:

***{{buff|Back floor attack's second hit also has less startup lag (frame 27 → 24).}}

**{{buff|Floor attacks deal more damage (6% → 7%) and shield damage (1 → 8) per hit, without full compensation on their knockback scaling (50 → 48).}}

**{{buff|Floor attacks now uses one larger extended hitbox (3.84u → 5u), giving them more range.}}

**{{nerf|The first hit does not extend as far inside of Pit (z offset: -1.2 → z stretch: -4), giving it less range inside of Pit.}}

*[[Edge attack]]:

**{{buff|Edge attack extends further inside of Pit (z offset: 0 → z stretch: -5), giving it more range inside of him.}}

**{{nerf|Edge attack has a shorter duration (frames 25-29 → 25-27).}}

**{{nerf|Edge attack has less intangibility (frames 1-23 → 1-22).}}

**{{nerf|Edge attack now uses one extended hitbox rather than four normal hitboxes which is smaller (5u → 4.5u) and it does not extend as far away from him (z offset: 15 → 11), giving it less range.}}

**{{nerf|As with other edge attacks, edge attack can no longer send opponents behind Pit, removing its ability to set up edgeguards.}}

**{{nerf|The arrows deal less damage (5% (uncharged)/11% (fully charged) → 3.27%/8.6%) and knockback (4 (base), 80 (scaling) → 11/65), and their damage increases less per frame (0.1% → 0.09%).}}

**{{nerf|The arrows travel much slower (8 → 3.5).}}

*[[Upperdash Arm]]:

**{{change|Pit has a new side special, Upperdash Arm, which functions very differently to [[Angel Ring]]. Pit equips the {{s|icaruspedia|Upperdash Arm}} where he proceeds to dash forward and if he comes into contact with an opponent, he will perform an uppercut (similar to [[Raptor Boost]]).}}

**{{buff|Upperdash Arm consists of a one strong hitbox, instead of loop hitboxes, which makes it a much more reliable move that can potentially KO.}}

***{{nerf|However, its set duration significantly hinders its ability at pressuring shields or covering an opponent's ledge options.}}

**{{buff|Pit now gains some super [[armor]] when he performs Upperdash Arm.}}

**{{change|Reflected projectiles are launched at a much higher angle (0° → 50°). As they can no longer hit the opponent, this has no impact on gameplay.}}

*[[Power of Flight]]:

**{{nerf|Pit cannot cancel Power of Flight with an attack. This significantly hinders the safety and mixup potential of Power of Flight and when combined with its altered functionality, this also removes advanced techniques such as [[wing dash]]ing.}}

**{{nerf|Power of Flight no longer has a [[windbox]] on startup, hindering its safety and utility.}}

**{{buff|Pit has a new down special, Guardian Orbitars where Pit wields the {{s|icaruspedia|Guardian Orbitars}} near his arms in order to protect himself. It is functionally similar to [[Mirror Shield]] but unlike Mirror Shield, Guardian Orbitars cover both sides of Pit and they are much taller, making them better at protecting Pit.}}

**{{change|Guardian Orbitars have a [[push]] effect, instead of a [[reverse]] effect.}}

**{{nerf|Guardian Orbitars have more startup lag (frame 6 → 9).}}

**{{nerf|Guardian Orbitars have much more ending lag on release (FAF 15 → 36).}}

==Moveset==

|neutralcount=3

|neutralinf=y

|neutral1dmg=2%

|neutral2dmg=2%

|neutral3dmg=5%

|neutralinfdmg=0.8% (loop), 2% (last)

|ftiltdmg=7% (base), 10% (tip)

|ftiltdesc=Arcs his body forward to perform a scissoring slash. It is decent for spacing and quite powerful for a tilt attack when sweetspotted. Its sweetspot is located at the tips of the blades. While near the edge of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}, the sweetspot KOs middleweights at 134%/122% (''3DS''/''Wii U''). Due to it hitting on frame 10, however, it is Pit's slowest tilt attack. Despite having the same knockback values as its tip, its base's lower damage output makes it unsuited for KOing.

|utiltdmg=2% (hit 1), 3% (hit 2), 5% (hit 3)

|utiltdesc=A bicycle kick followed by a stretch kick. Compared to up smash, its lower ending lag makes it safer at harassing an opponent on a platform directly above Pit. However, it lacks any guaranteed followups due to its high launch point and ending lag, and although its last hit has very high knockback scaling, it lacks KO potential because of said hit's low damage output.

|dtiltdmg=6%

|dtiltdesc=A kneeling outward slash. Its minimal startup and moderate ending lag make it Pit's best grounded spacing option. However, despite its high base knockback, its mostly horizontal angle prevents it from having any guaranteed followups, with the closest being dash attack at low percents. Because of its angle and low knockback scaling, it is also ineffective for edgeguarding and KOing.

|dashdmg=11%

|dashdesc=A spinning inward slash. It has low knockback scaling and launches at 60°, which allows it to combo into an up smash at low percents, depending on the opponent's DI. Its long range also makes it excellent for punishing landings. However, its moderate ending lag makes it punishable on shield.

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|5}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|10}} (hit 2)

|fsmashdesc=Performs a reverse gripped inward slash with a blade, then quickly reassembles the Palutena Bow in order to perform an outward slash with the Palutena Bow. Its first hit has low set knockback to connect reliably into its second hit. However, against aerial targets, the first hit's set knockback on its innermost hitbox deals insufficient hitstun to lead into the second hit, allowing opponents with fast air dodges to avoid the second hit altogether if they are hit offstage, unless Pit has a high amount of rage. On the edge of Final Destination, the second hit KOs middleweights at 107%/92% (''3DS''/''Wii U'').

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|3}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|2}} (hit 2), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|8}} (hit 3)

|usmashdesc=Jumps to perform three upward slashes. It hits on frame 6, which is very fast for a smash attack, and its long vertical range makes it a useful anti-air attack. Its last hit's very high knockback scaling enables it to KO middleweights from anywhere on Final Destination at 130%/119% (''3DS''/''Wii U''). However, its deceptively horizontal range results in it hitting grounded opponents only if they are at point-blank range in front of Pit.

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|12}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|10}} (tip)

|dsmashdesc=Performs a kneeling outward slash with a blade, followed by a squatting reverse gripped thrust behind himself with the other blade. Its sweetspot is located at the base of each blade. It hits on frame 5, which ties it with {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}, {{SSB4|Zelda}} and {{SSB4|Ryu}}'s down smashes as the second fastest smash attack of any kind in the game, being surpassed only by {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}'s [[buffer]]ed down smash. It is thus very useful for punishing rolls. While the first hit has higher base knockback and both hits have equal knockback scaling, the back hit's sweetspot KOs earlier thanks to its [[semi-spike]] angle. At the edge of Final Destination, the back hit's sweetspot KOs middleweights at 125%/116% (''3DS''/''Wii U''), while the front hit's sweetspot KOs at 155%/144% (''3DS''/''Wii U'').

|nairdmg=0.7% (hits 1-7), 4% (hit 8)

|nairdesc=A buzzsaw-like series of slashes in front of himself. It hits multiple times, with its last hit having high knockback scaling, though it has a smaller hitbox behind Pit that connects less reliably. It has the ability to nullify weak projectiles and its last hit has very high knockback scaling, which make it ideal approaching or edge-guarding. Auto-cancels from a short hop, making it a decent set-up option when [[SHFF]]'d.

|fairdmg=1.5% (hits 1-2), 4% (hit 3)

|fairdesc=Lunges forward to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes that hits multiple times. The last hit has the second highest knockback scaling out of his entire moveset, although the final hitbox's low damage output makes the move best suited for edge-guarding, spacing, or approaching. Auto-cancels from a short hop, but has a very short duration and minimal vertical range.

|bairdmg=8% (base), 12% (tip)

|bairdesc=A double reverse gripped thrust. It is Pit's longest ranged aerial and can auto-cancel in a short hop, which make it a fairly useful spacing option, especially when used as part of a [[reverse aerial rush]]. When sweetspotted, it is also Pit's most damaging aerial. While its base is largely ineffective, it nonetheless has follow-up potential at certain percents. While near the edge of Final Destination, its sweetspot KOs middleweights at 137%/125% (''3DS''/''Wii U''). However, it has noticeable landing lag and a very small hitbox, the latter of which can make it difficult to land its sweetspot.

|uairdmg=2% (hits 1-5)

|uairdesc=An overhead, buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It hits multiple times, with its last hit launching at 68° and having the highest knockback scaling out of his entire moveset. These traits make it a useful juggling option. Even though it KOs middleweights beginning at 153% while near the upper [[blast line]], it only does so if all of hits connect because of its last hit's very low damage output. It can also auto-cancel.

|dairdmg=10%

|dairdesc=A downward arcing reverse gripped slash. It has a sweetspot on the first hit frame that is a meteor smash, while its fairly large range allows it to function as an approach option. However, it has noticeable landing lag and takes longer to auto-cancel after the hitboxes cease compared to Pit's other aerials.

|grabdesc=Reaches out with his free hand.

|pummeldmg=2%

|pummeldesc=A knee strike. A fairly fast pummel.

|fthrowdmg=6% (hit 1), 4% (throw)

|fthrowdesc=An upward slash. Due to having the highest knockback scaling out of his throws, it is Pit's only throw with KO potential. While near the edge of Final Destination, it KOs middleweights at 163%/148% (''3DS''/''Wii U''). Although it is best suited for KOing, it is decent at setting up edge-guards, and even has minimal combo potential, leading into a dash attack or up smash at low percents.

|bthrowdmg=8%

|bthrowdesc=Grabs the opponent by their head, spins around with them in tow, and them slams them onto the ground headfirst. It is best suited for spacing, but it can also combo into a dash attack at low percents, or act as a set-up into Palutena Bow at medium to high percents.

|uthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (throw)

|uthrowdesc=A handstand kick, similar to {{SSB4|Sheik}}'s up throw. It is Pit's most damaging throw, but its throw hitbox's average base knockback and knockback scaling make it unsuited for KOing or combos. As a result, its only utility is dealing damage and initiating aerial pressure alongside Palutena Bow.

|dthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 4% (throw)

|dthrowdesc=Pins the opponent to the ground and then slashes their back. It is Pit's best combo starter, as it can combo into a dashing up smash at 0%-10%, and into a neutral, forward and up aerial at low to medium percents.

|nsc2name=Guiding Bow

|nsc2dmg=2.1% (uncharged), 6% (fully charged)

|ssdefname=Upperdash Arm

|ssdefdmg=11% (grounded), 9% (aerial), 1× (reflected projectiles)

|ssc1name=Interception Arm

|ssc1dmg=13% (grounded), 11% (aerial)

|ssc2name=Quickdash Arm

|ssc2dmg=9% (grounded), 7% (aerial)

|dsc2name=Amplifying Orbitars

|dsc2dmg=2× (reflected projectiles)

|fsname=Three Sacred Treasures

|fsdmg=2% (small arrows, energy blasts), 12% (large arrows), 15% (energy pillars)

|fsdesc=Wields the {{s|icaruspedia|Three Sacred Treasures}} to perform an automatic assault by using the {{s|icaruspedia|Arrow of Light}} and the {{s|icaruspedia|Mirror Shield}} interchangeably for combat, while the {{s|icaruspedia|Wings of Pegasus}} are used for hovering in midair. Pit initially fires three types of projectiles: numerous small, whitish orange arrows are fired rapidly in a fanning motion; large, whitish yellow arrows that home in on opponents are fired one at a time; and a quartet of whitish green energy blasts home onto the opponent's location (similarly to [[Autoreticle]]) are fired in an intersecting pattern. The barrage concludes with Pit firing a quartet of whitish sky blue arrows into the sky, which cause energy pillars to rain down in random locations, similarly to [[PK Starstorm]] in ''Brawl''. Its small arrows can easily rack up damage, but only its large arrows and energy pillars have KO potential.}}

==[[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Pit|Alternate costumes]]==

*Of all the characters who made the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', Pit underwent the most changes to his [[special move]]s, with his previous [[Angel Ring|side special]], [[Wings of Icarus|up special]], [[Mirror Shield|down special]] and [[Palutena's Army|Final Smash]] being replaced.

**Despite this, Mirror Shield has technically remained a part of his moveset, albeit now as a part of his [[Three Sacred Treasures|new Final Smash]].

*In {{for3ds}}, Pit and Dark Pit's wings will not be outlined if outlines are turned on.

*Both Pit and Dark Pit, akin to the former in ''Brawl'', have some of their moves not applying to their respective bows being in their bow forms or being split into blades. The moves that fit this are their down tilts, dash attacks, up specials, down taunts (despite both of them being different), rolls and sidesteps (only if the latter two are done at the frame before their shielding animation properly occurs).
