===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
In the early metagame, players considered Pit to be a mid-tier character, mainly because of his small playerbase and sparse tournament results. Despite this perception, however, players such as {{Sm|Earth}}, {{Sm|KiraFlax}}, and {{Sm|Kuro}} spearheaded his metagame and prove he could keep up with the faster pace of the metagame. This consensus also applied to his [[clone]], {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}, because of their very minor gameplay differences. Earth's efforts in competitive play, most notably placing 13th at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, supported Pit's viability as a character. As a result, he was ranked 18th on the first [[tier list]].

However, while Pit's tournament results were impressive up to this point, they have never been as consistent or common as other mid-tier characters such as {{SSB4|Bowser}}. As a result, Pit's continually barren result and very small playerbase, the addition of DLC characters such as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}}, and Earth's declining results, leading him to pick up {{SSB4|Corrin}} as as secondary, hindered his standing within subsequent tier lists: Pit fell to 24th on the second tier lsit, 30th/31st on the third list, and finally 32nd on the fourth list. Dark Pit followed a largely similar path to Pit: although he was initially ranked 17th on the first tier list, a place above Pit, the second tier list saw him drop to 27th, 3 spots below Pit. Subsequent tier lists had him ranked alongside Pit due to how similar the characters were.
