Pit (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Pit is voiced by Lani Minella in the English version, and by Minami Takayama in the Japanese version.

Pit is ranked 17th on the [[tier list]], placing him at the bottom of the C tier, making this his best placement in the series. Pit possesses one of the best [[projectile]]s in ''Brawl'' with his [[Palutena's Bow]], as it is fast, chargeable, has range that covers the entire stage, and gives Pit a great amount of control over its trajectory. Pit also has one of the best recoveries in ''Brawl'', possessing multiple [[midair jump]]s, a [[glide]], and a recovery move in [[Wings of Icarus]] that gains the greatest distance of any in ''Brawl'', as well as giving him complete control over his movement during the move. Additionally, Pit possesses fast attacks throughout his moveset, above average movement speed and good mobility, one of the strongest [[planking]] capabilities, and two effective [[reflector]]s.

However, Pit has problems with [[KO]]ing opponents, as he is a rather weak character that does not possess many finishers, and he heavily relies on his [[back aerial]] and [[forward smash]] to KO (the former requiring the landing of the initial hitbox while being short-ranged, and the latter being heavily prone to [[stale-move negation]] while being [[SDIable]] out of). Additionally, Pit's recovery is especially vulnerable to [[gimp]]ing, as if he is flinched during Wings of Icarus, he cannot use the move again until landing. Pit also has rather short [[reach]] in his attacks, despite being a sword character. Overall, Pit has rather good [[matchup]]s (losing only a handful and being countered by only {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}), and while his [[tournament]] results are below average in American tournaments, they are much stronger [[Japanese tier list|in Japan]], where he is ranked 8th on their tier list at the top of the A tier.

Pit has an advanced technique known as [[Wing Dashing]], which sends Pit flying forward a small bit. He also has one of the longest recoveries in the game, with three midair jumps, the fastest glide in the game, and an exceptional up special [[Wings of Icarus]]. However, should Pit get hit while using Wings of Icarus or attacks out of it, he cannot use it again until he lands onto the ground, grabs a ledge, or gets KO'd. Pit is the only character who cannot use his up special again if he is hit out of it.

{{SSBBMatchupTable|pit=yes}}

Pit has a good matchup spread overall. He is only countered by {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and soft countered by seven characters. He goes even against twelve characters, soft counters eight characters, counters six, and hard counters {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}. He tends to excel against characters where he can gradually rack up damage without much trouble, such as {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}. Pit can take advantage of their difficulty in breaking opposing camping via Palutena's Arrows while being able to break through himself thanks to his higher mobility. However, Pit is vulnerable to getting overwhelmed by characters who are faster and can initiate heavy amounts of combos on him, such as {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}. Meta Knight in particular will be able to find numerous opportunities to take the initiative against Pit due to the latter's reliance on Palutena's Arrows to camp and lack of responses to Meta Knight's fast attacks.
