*{{Sm|Earth|Japan|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} (#42) - The best Pit player in the world. Placed 1st at {{Trn|Sumabato 10}}, 3rd at {{Trn|Umebura 30}}, 9th at {{Trn|EVO 2016}}, and 13th at both {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} and {{Trn|Frame Perfect Series 2}} with wins over players such as {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and {{Sm|Abadango}}. Formerly ranked 10th on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Earth|Japan|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} - The greatest Pit player of all time and by far the most relevant in competitive play, with his performances greatly affecting Pit's standings on the tier list. He was the first Pit player to place top 8 at a major, doing so at {{Trn|Umebura Niconico Qualifier}}, and additional strong performances throughout 2016, including winning {{Trn|Sumabato 10}}; placing 9th at {{Trn|EVO 2016}}, defeating {{Sm|Tweek}}; and placing 13th at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, greatly lifted Pit's reputation in the early years of competitive ''Smash 4''. He was the only Pit player ever ranked on the [[PGR]] and was ultimately ranked 42nd on the [[PGR 100]].
*{{Sm|KiraFlax|USA|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} - The best Pit player in the United States. Placed 13th at {{Trn|Rise 2018}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Paragon Los Angeles 2015}}, {{Trn|2GGT: Fresh Saga}}, {{Trn|SwitchFest}}, and {{Trn|EVO 2018}}. Formerly ranked 12th on the [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings|SoCal Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|KiraFlax|USA|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} - The best Pit player in the United States. Placed 13th at {{Trn|Rise 2018}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Paragon Los Angeles 2015}}, {{Trn|2GGT: Fresh Saga}}, {{Trn|SwitchFest}}, and {{Trn|EVO 2018}}. Formerly ranked 12th on the [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings|SoCal Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Kuro|Japan|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} (#97) - One of the best Pit players in Japan but has since dropped him for {{SSB4|Fox}}. Placed 7th at {{Trn|Umebura S.A.T.}}, 9th at {{Trn|KSB 2017}}, 13th at both {{Trn|Umebura 23}} and {{Trn|Sumabato 17}}, and 17th at {{Trn|Umebura 25}} with wins over players such as {{Sm|9B}}, {{Sm|T}}, and {{Sm|HIKARU}}.
*{{Sm|Kuro|Japan|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} - The second-best Pit player in Japan. He was the only other Pit player to place top 8 at a major, doing so at {{Trn|Umebura S.A.T.}} while defeating {{Sm|T}}, {{Sm|9B}}, and {{Sm|Eim}}. Though he had several other notable performances with Pit, including placing 3rd at {{Trn|Karisuma Tokaigi Qualifiers}} and 5th at {{Trn|Sumabato 16}}, his results were inconsistent and he eventually dropped Pit for {{SSB4|Fox}} in mid-2017, with his performances with Fox eventually overshadowing his performances with Pit.
*{{Sm|Len|Canada|c1=Pit|g=SSB4}} - The best Pit player in Canada. Placed 3rd at {{Trn|Battle of BC}}, 7th at both {{Trn|Don't Park on the Grass}} and {{Trn|Port Priority: 4Ever}}, and 13th at both {{Trn|Northwest Majors VIII}} and {{Trn|Battle of BC 2}}. Formerly ranked 23rd on the [[Smash Canada Rankings]].

===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/33rd on the fourth list, where he currently remains. 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.

Although some have argued that his current placement is accurate, other players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} noted that both Pits should be ranked lower due to possessing a weak moveset as well as having one of the worst representation in the metagame. Some players also believed that Dark Pit should be ranked lower than his clone due to the former seeing even worse representation than the latter. Nevertheless, both Pits have seen no major shift in perception since the game's launch and remain a mid-tier character.
