Announced at [[E3]] 2006, '''Pit''' (Japanese: {{ja|ピット}}, ''Pitto'') is a playable character appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' after a sixteen year absence from video games. He uses a [[Sacred Bow of Palutena|bow and arrow]] as a weapon, as it can also split into 2 small [[Sacred Bow of Palutena|blades]]. Pit's arrows shoot out beams of light when fired, and the curve of the arrows' trajectory can be controlled by the player, by pressing up or down. The bow itself can be aimed before shooting the arrow, as seen at around 4:18 in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr9EoMXWEGo this video]. This is called Palutena's Arrow. Pit has the ability to jump in midair multiple times, though, according to the [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pit.html DOJO!!], Pit is an angel who cannot ordinarily fly. Pit's [[up special move]], known as the [[Wings of Icarus]], allows him to fly freely for a brief period of time, though, like his [[midair jump]]s, he will fall soon afterwards, as if he's tired. This move cannot cause damage, and Pit cancels it if he attacks or is attacked. Like [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]] and [[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]], Pit is able to [[Gliding|glide]].
'''Pit''' ({{ja|ピット|Pitto}}, ''Pit'') is a playable newcomer in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.


Pit is currently ranked 18 in the D tier on the tier list, which is the result of his fast attacks, great projectile, very long recovery (arguably one of the longest), ability to pursure airborne enemies, and possession of two reflectors (while all other characters have only one reflector, if any at all), but the fact that he cannot recover after being hit in the midst of Wings of Icarus and problems with KOing keep him out of the high tier. There is some contention that Pit's placement on the United States tier list is due to a lack on an established metagame in that region.  By contrast, he is placed at 8 on the Japanese tier list.
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 mobility, some 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 fairly short [[reach]] in his attacks, despite being a sword character. Overall, Pit has good [[matchup]]s (losing only a handful and being hard 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 instead.

Pit is a character who can play into many roles. He combines attacks well, can play up front with low lag smashes and multi-hit neutral attack moves (though his close up game is impaired by poor range), moves relatively quickly, and has a respectable aerial game. Pit is easily juggled due to being a semi-floaty medium weight, but this also makes him difficult to chaingrab. Unique to Pit are ''two'' moves that reflect projectiles - his [[Mirror Shield]] which also protects Pit from many attacks, gives him [[launch resistance]] while pulling it out and actually turns foes the opposite direction much like [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]]'s [[Cape]], giving him good gimping capabilities, and his Angel Ring, which is also good for racking up damage. Pit's [[Palutena's Arrow]] is a great projectile due to its fast speed, long range, quick start-up time (making it easily spammable), and decent priority. However, it's also easily [[Perfect Shield|perfect shielded]] due to its fast speed, which makes it lose some of its usefulness. Pit has an advanced technique known as [[Wing Dashing]]. Pit 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 (in worst case scenarios) is KO'd. Pit's moves generally have low lag, low knockback, and deal medium damage.  This, however, is one of Pit's greatest weaknesses.  Due to [[stale-move negation]], continued use of his smashes can make KOing a difficult task, forcing the player to switch to projectile attacks to buff out smashes again. Pit's back aerial is his most powerful attack, which is a solid KO move thanks to its speed. Careful Pit players can maximize his potential, while playing through his weaknesses, but it can be a difficult task.

==Moveset==
Pit's [[Palutena's Arrow]] is a great projectile due to its fast speed, long range, quick start-up time (making it easily spammable). However, it's also easily [[perfect shield]]ed due to its fast speed, which makes it lose some of its usefulness. Pit can have only 4 arrows flying around at once, once the player inputs the next arrow the first one will disappear.
====Ground attacks====
=====Normal=====
*[[Neutral attack]] - Slashes three times, spins the blades together back and forth, hitting repeatedly.  Interestingly, Pit cannot enter his rapid fire attack by simply holding the "Attack" button, he will only do a three hit combo. However, once he has entered the rapid fire attack, it is necessary only to continue holding 'Attack' to continue it. This means Pit essentially has two different combos depending if the button is tapped or held initially. 11% damage rapid attack: 1% per hit. Start-up of 5 frames.
*[[Dash attack]] - Small slash forward with one of his blades near the ground doing below average knockback, but knockback is much higher at around 100% and up. 12% damage. Hits on frame 7-9.
*[[Forward tilt]] - Thrusts both blades forward causing 12% damage and good knockback. Hits on frame 14-16.
*[[Up tilt]] - Plants one sword into the ground and does a handstand on it, performing two kicks above him, the first kick connecting to the next. Causes 16% damage if both kicks connect. Start-up of 2 frames. This is Pit's fastest attack start-up wise. If the opponent is caught whilst standing in front of Pit during initiation of his up tilt, the opponent may get hit three times.
*[[Down tilt]] - Crouches and swipes the blade towards the ground causing 11% damage. Can spike when the foot and blade touch the opponent. Good for edgeguarding. Hits on frame 6-8.


=====Smash=====
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.
*[[Forward smash]] - A weak slash followed immediately by a very strong slash, 19% damage cumulative. The second slash can be perfect shielded or DIed out of. All the knockback is in the second slash. Does 26% fully charged. Start-up of 6 frames.
*[[Up smash]] - Three quick slashes above his head. Faster, but less knockback than something like Link's, and with more vertical range and less horizontal. All three combined do 13% worth of damage. [18% fully charged] All the knockback is in the last slash, the other two have reverse knockback, sucking the opponent closer to set up for the final slash. If the player hits with only the first slash of this attack, it is actually a spike. However, this is extremely difficult to pull off. Has a start-up of 6 frames.
*[[Down smash]] - Slashes toward the ground in front of and behind him. Similar to Link's down smash. If one is overlapping the opponent, both the front and back slash's hitboxes will connect, much like Zelda's down smash. Interestingly, when using his down smash, Pit only utters a sound upon charging the smash. The voice clip will not play if the down-smash is initiated instantly using the [[C-Stick]]. Does 13% worth of damage. Front slash hits on frame 5-6, back slash hits on frame 18-20.


=====Other=====
Pit's moves generally have low lag, low knockback, and deal medium damage. This, however, is one of Pit's greatest weaknesses. Due to [[stale-move negation]], continued use of his smashes can make KOing a difficult task, forcing the player to switch to projectile attacks to buff out smashes again. Pit's back aerial is his most powerful attack, which is a solid KO move due to its speed. Careful Pit players can maximize his potential, while playing through his weaknesses, but it can be a difficult task.
*[[Ledge attack]] - Slides on stage with a kick similar to Falco's ledge attack.
*100% ledge attack - Pauses for a moment while getting his swords ready, then stabs 10% damage.
*[[Floor attack]] - Slashes with his bow split left and right separately. Identical to Ike's down smash in form.


====[[Aerial attack]]s====
==Moveset==
*[[Neutral aerial]] - Spins both blades together in front of him, hitting multiple times causing 11% if all hits connect. This can stop weak projectiles if executed at the right time. Start-up of 4 frames.
''For a gallery of Pit's hitboxes, see [[Pit (SSBB)/Hitboxes|here]].''
*[[Forward aerial]] - Thrusts both blades forward and quickly brings them apart, slashing horizontally doing 14% damage. Hits on frame 12-15.
{{MovesetTable
*[[Back aerial]] - Thrusts sword behind him. Quick and very powerful, Pit's highest knockback aerial move if sweetspoted. Not easy to short hop with, but with a fast-fall used in conjunction with the move, it can provide many opportunities to string up aerial combos. Causes 15% damage. Hits on frame 9-25.
|game=SSBB
*[[Up aerial]] - Spins his blades together above his head, hitting multiple times causing 12% if all connect. Can be used after down throw to hit heavy/fast falling characters reliably. Similar to Meta Knight's up aerial, if tap jump is turned on, Pit will jump (whilst airborne) once every time he uses it if the Control Stick is held up at the right time. Start-up of 9 frames.
|neutralcount=3
*[[Down aerial]] - Slashes under him causing 12% damage. High priority, can be used up to 5 times in the air if used right after initial-midair jumps, the 5th is only if the player utilizes the Wing of Icarus special. Hits on frame 10-12.
|neutralinf=y
*[[Glide#Glide attack|Glide attack]] - Slashes both swords in a 160 degree arc from bottom to forward. Inflicts 12% damage and good knockback. If used right before landing, there is almost no ending lag upon execution. Great killing move. Hits on frame 6-11.
|neutralname=Forehand Slice ({{ja|フォアハンドスライス|Foahando Suraisu}}) / Backhand Slice ({{ja|バックハンドスライス|Bakkuhando Suraisu}}) / Upper Swing ({{ja|アッパースイング|Appā Suingu}}) / Spinning Cutter ({{ja|スピニングカッター|Supiningu Kattā}})
|neutral1dmg=3%
|neutral2dmg=3%
|neutral3dmg=5%
|neutralinfdmg=1-2% (loop)
|neutraldesc=Pit slashes twice, follows up to an upper slash which launches foes diagonally upwards. If the attack button is mashed, Pit will spin his bow instead, hitting multiple times.
|ftiltname=Cross Chop ({{ja|クロスチョップ|Kurosu Choppu}})
|ftiltdmg=12%
|ftiltdesc=Pit thrusts both blades forward. Has decent knockback.
|utiltname=Prop Kick ({{ja|プロップキック|Puroppu Kikku}})
|utiltdmg=3% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2), 7% (hit 3)
|utiltdesc=Plants bow into the ground and does a handstand on it, performing two kicks above him, with the first kick connecting to the next. If the opponent is caught standing in front of Pit during initiation of the move, they will be knocked upwards into the following two hits. This initial hit comes out on frame 2, giving Pit's up tilt the lowest amount of startup lag out of of any tilt attack in the game.
|dtiltname=Leg Cutter ({{ja|レッグカッター|Reggu Kattā}})
|dtiltdmg=11%
|dtiltdesc=Pit swipes one blade across the ground in front of him, knocking any foe upwards. Act as a [[meteor smash]] if the foe hits Pit's body, not the blade.
|dashname=Dash Slice ({{ja|ダッシュスライス|Dasshu Suraisu}})
|dashdmg=11% (body), 12% (arm), 9% (blade)
|dashdesc=Pit steps forward and slashes one of his blades horizontally in front of himself. Deals below average knockback.
|fsmashname=Dual Attack ({{ja|デュアルアタック|Duaru Atakku}})
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|7}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (hit 2)
|fsmashdesc=Pit slashes his right-handed blade inward, before quickly assembling both blades and slashing again in a wide outward clearing turn. The first hit deals low set knockback, allowing it to connect into the second hit. The move comes out extremely quickly on frame 6, making it the fastest forward smash in the game (and the entire series) by a wide margin, and the move deals a rather high 19% if both hits connect but, the second hit can be avoided and it is very weak for a forward smash.
|usmashname=Angel Spin ({{ja|エンジェルスピン|Enjeru Supin}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|3}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|2}} (hit 2), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|8}} (hit 3)
|usmashdesc=A leaping triple slash to the sky as Pit turns in midair, which is similar to Link's up smash but is noticeably faster and weaker. The tip of the first slash is actually a [[spike]], which launches foes downward when it connects. It comes out very quickly but it can be escaped from, and the final hit is not very strong.
|dsmashname=Low Attack Combo ({{ja|ローアタックコンボ|Rō Atakku Conbo}})
|dsmashdmg=1st hit: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|13}} (body & arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|12}} (hilt), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (blade)<br>Hit 2: {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (body & arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|9}} (hilt), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|8}} (blade)
|dsmashdesc=Pit stabs the ground in front of himself with one blade, then behind him with the other. The move deals more damage and knockback if the opponent is closer to Pit. It comes out quickly, but it is not particularly strong. Interestingly, when using this move, Pit only utters a sound upon charging the attack, so Pit will not vocalise if he does not charge the down smash.
|nairname=Spinning Cycle ({{ja|スピニングサイクル|Supiningu Saikuru}})
|nairdmg=1% (hits 1-7), 4% (hit 8)
|nairdesc=Pit spins both blades together in front of him, hitting multiple times. This can stop weak projectiles if executed at the right time.
|fairname=Cross Slice ({{ja|クロススライス|Kurosu Suraisu}})
|fairdmg=15% (body), 14% (hilt), 13% (blades)
|fairdesc=Thrusts both blades forward and quickly brings them apart, slashing horizontally. Has unspectacular startup lag, but it does deal a good amount of damage.
|bairname=Air Stab ({{ja|エアスタッブ|Ea Sutabbu}})
|bairdmg=15% (clean), 7% (late)
|bairdesc=Pit thrusts his bow behind himself. This move is one of the strongest back aerials in the game when sweetspotted and deals the most knockback out of all of Pit's attacks (outside of his charged smash attacks).
|uairname=Lightning Rotor ({{ja|ライトニングローター|Raitoningu Rōtā}})
|uairdmg=2% (hits 1-6)
|uairdesc=Pit spins his bow above his head, hitting multiple times. Fairly difficult to land all 6 hits.
|dairname=Under Slash ({{ja|アンダースラッシュ|Andā Surasshu}})
|dairdmg=12%
|dairdesc=Pit swipes a blade below him. Launches foes upwards if the hit connects.
|glidename=&nbsp;
|glidedmg=12%
|glidedesc=Pit performs an upper slash with his right blade. It is one of his strongest attacks and it has minimal landing lag, making it completely safe on shield.
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=&nbsp;
|pummelname=Grab Kneebutt ({{ja|つかみニーバット|Tsukami Nībatto}})
|pummeldmg=2%
|pummeldesc=A quick knee jab.
|fthrowname=Upper Swing ({{ja|アッパースイング|Appā Suingu}})
|fthrowdmg=6% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Pit slashes away the opponent.
|bthrowname=Behind Throw ({{ja|ビハインドスルー|Bihaindo Surū}})
|bthrowdmg=8%
|bthrowdesc=Pit spins around with the opponent trailing behind and slams them on the ground behind him.
|uthrowname=Stand Shoot ({{ja|スタンドシュート|Sutando Shūto}})
|uthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Pit rolls on his back and handstand kicks the enemy.
|dthrowname=Bone Divide ({{ja|ボーンディバイド|Bōn Dibaido}})
|dthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Lays opponent on the ground and slashes their back.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Pit gets up and slashes on either side of himself.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Gets up, then slashes forward and stabs behind himself.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Spins his bow behind, then in front of him.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=8%
|edgefdesc=Pit flips onto the stage and delivers a sweep kick.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=10%
|edgesdesc=Slowly climbs onto the stage and stabs forward with his right blade.
|nsname=Palutena's Arrow
|nsdmg=5-11%
|nsdesc=Pit shoots a bluish-white arrow that can be curved in any direction. Can be aimed to the sides and up while charging.
|ssname=Angel Ring
|ssdmg=1-2% (loop), 1.5x damage for reflected projectiles
|ssdesc=Pit rapidly spins his bow in front of him, which damages opponents while [[reflection|deflecting]] any incoming projectiles.
|usname=Wings of Icarus
|usdmg=0%
|usdesc=Pit's wings glow blue and he gains the ability to fly for approximately 3 seconds. He can cancel out the move by performing an aerial attack, which won't leave him [[helpless]], but prevents him from using any unconsumed jumps and the same move again until he lands.
|dsname=Mirror Shield
|dsdmg=1.5x damage for reflected projectiles
|dsdesc=Pit pulls out his shield and crouches down while holding it in front of him. The shield can be angled up or down to reflect attacks. Any projectiles reflected would go flying back towards the user at x1.7 the original speed. When initially brought out, the shield gives [[armor]] and can reverse enemies when they attempt to attack Pit.
|fsname=Palutena's Army
|fsdmg=16% (per Centurion)
|fsdesc=An enormous image of Palutena will appear in the sky (which is transparent on most stages, but is easier seen on stages such as Final Destination), and Centurions fly onto screen, ramming into other players at incredibly high speeds. Each Centurion makes a single attack to a character, and then falls in battle. During the course of the attack, Pit is not bound to a position. Therefore, he is free to move and attack as he pleases. However, unlike most characters, he is not invincible during his Final Smash.

Pit starts off watching the stadium match between [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] through a reflecting pool in a sky palace.  After witnessing the invasion of the [[Subspace Army]] interrupting the match, the goddess [[Palutena]] summons him and sends him to attack the Subspace Army, giving him [[Bow of Light]]. He eventually meets and teams up with [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]], after battling through a [[Greap]]. [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]], stuck in trophy form, is awakened by and joins forces with Pit to fight off the Subspace Army.

Later, they chase after the [[Ancient Minister]] but fail to catch him. If the player rescued [[Zelda]], Pit and Mario would face off against a clone of her made from [[Shadow Bug]]s/[[Link]], who was passing by with [[Yoshi]], was furious because he thought that the copy of Zelda was the real thing so he and Yoshi attack Pit and Mario. When the player wins against Link and Yoshi, they are turned into trophies and are captured by [[King Dedede]] but are rescued by [[Kirby]]. Kirby revives Link and Yoshi, then Link fires an arrow at the car that King Dedede stole from [[Wario]] to slow him down. Pit, Mario, Link, Yoshi and Kirby then team up to stop King Dedede.

After witnessing the invasion of the [[Subspace Army]] interrupting the match, the goddess [[Palutena]] summons him and sends him to attack the Subspace Army, providing him the [[Palutena Bow]]. He eventually meets and teams up with Mario, after battling through a [[Greap]]. Mario, stuck in trophy form, is awakened by and joins forces with Pit to fight off the Subspace Army.
 
Later, they chase after the [[Ancient Minister]] but fail to catch him. If the player rescued {{SSBB|Zelda}}, Pit and Mario would face off against a clone of her made from [[Shadow Bug]]s. {{SSBB|Link}}, who was passing by with {{SSBB|Yoshi}}, was furious because he thought that the copy of Zelda was the real thing so he and Yoshi attack Pit and Mario. When the player wins against Link and Yoshi, they are turned into trophies and are captured by {{SSBB|King Dedede}} but are rescued by Kirby. Kirby revives Link and Yoshi, then Link fires an arrow at the car that King Dedede stole from {{SSBB|Wario}} to slow him down. Pit, Mario, Link, Yoshi and Kirby then team up to stop King Dedede.

If the player rescued [[Peach]], Link and Yoshi would attack the clone of Peach and Mario and Pit would attack Link and Yoshi, but they would lose and turn into trophies. Then they get captured by King Dedede but are rescued narrowly by Kirby. They are then revived by Kirby and Pit fires an arrow at the [[Cargo]] that King Dedede stole and the story continues. The five heroes then come across King Dedede's castle, which has been raided by [[Bowser]]. The team catches up to Bowser, who has stolen the trophy of Peach/Zelda. Bowser dodged Mario and Pit's attacks and escaped in his [[Koopa Clown Car]].

Much later, the team once again runs into the Ancient Minister. Pit fires an arrow at the Minister but he dodges before it hit. They then chase after the Minister but are stopped by his {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} army. The R.O.B's then start to activate the [[Subspace Bomb]] that the Minister carried. Mario and Pit try to take the R.O.Bs that are activating the bomb off (Pit tries to pull one off while Mario punches the other) but are pulled away by two other R.O.B's. The team barely escapes when the bomb explodes. Later, the team comes down to help {{SSBB|Marth}}, {{SSBB|Ike}}, {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Lucas}}, and the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} from a huge army of Subspace minions.
Soon, he and the rest of the heroes stormed into Subspace but were transformed into trophies by [[Tabuu]]'s Off Waves. He was rescued later by {{SSBB|Ness}}, {{SSBB|Luigi}}, and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Afterwards, he then helped the characters get through [[The Great Maze]] and participated in the battle against Tabuu himself.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:Oldpit.PNG|thumb|right|Early artwork of Pit.]]
*Pit's original ''Brawl'' artwork portrayed him as having significantly more feathers on his wings, a narrower face, thicker, shorter legs, more tufts of hair, and white rings around his wrist as opposed to the golden ones on the ''{{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}}'' image. He is one of three characters who originally had a different pose on ''Smash Bros. DOJO!!'', sharing this trait with {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}.
*Pit's original ''Brawl'' artwork portrayed him as having significantly more feathers on his wings, a narrower face, thicker, shorter legs, more tufts of hair, and white rings around his wrist as opposed to the golden ones on the ''[[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]'' image.
*Pit will carry his bow in two parts if the last move he used required a sword (e.g. tilts, smashes sans forward smash), and as a bow if the last move was a {{h2|Weapon|bow}} attack (e.g. [[Angel Ring]]).
*Pit is able to completely guard against Samus' Final Smash with his down special, except for the final hit.
** However, his dash attack is not affected by this, as it can be done with both his bow split into two or fully put together. This also applies to his spot dodge, air dodge and roll; in the case of his roll however, it must be done quickly before his bow is fully formed via his shield animation.
*Every once in a while Pit will utter "I’m done for..." as his death cry (a reference to the "Game Over" screen from ''Kid Icarus'': "I'm finished!").
*Occasionally Pit will utter "I'm done for..." ({{ja|遣られちゃった...|Yararechatta...}}, ''They got me...'') as his KO cry (a reference to the "Game Over" screen from ''Kid Icarus'': "I'm finished!").
*Depending on the last move used by the player, Pit can move around with his bow as a bow or separated (For example, if his side special is last used, it will still be together with the blades still facing in a circular motion when he walks around. If his neutral-b is used last, the bow will remain together while facing the same direction. If he uses a neutral combo, the blades will separate.) It will also be shaped differently if he used one of the spinning attacks.
*When Pit gets a Hammer/Golden Hammer, Pit won't swing his arms up and down, but only pivots his wrist. The animation for him looks almost identical to {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s hammer animation, but it is more likely a reference to the very similar animation that occurred when using a hammer in ''Kid Icarus'' and its sequel, ''Of Myths and Monsters''. When Pit jumps while holding a hammer, he is posed very similarly to how he jumped in his original games.
*If Pit is holding an item, his bow will never be separated. If the player uses up or side taunt while holding an item, Pit will separate his bow as normal, but the item will disappear until the taunt ends.
*If Pit is holding an item, his bow will never be separated. If he does his up or side taunt while holding an item, Pit will separate his bow as normal, but the item will reappear after the taunt.
*Pit is the only character with wings who doesn't glide across the floor while dashing. This is very ironic since he not only has the fastest glide in the game (about the same speed as [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's]] dash), but also has a slower dash speed than both of the other gliders ([[Meta Knight]] and [[Charizard]]).
*Pit is one of three characters that can [[glide]], with the two others being {{SSBB|Charizard}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}.
*In Brawl, Pit is unable to crawl, although he could crawl in the original ''Kid Icarus''.
*When Pit gets a Hammer/Golden Hammer, Pit won't swing his arms up and down, but only pivots his wrist. The animation for him looks almost identical to Mr. Game & Watch's hammer animation, but it is more likely a reference to the very similar animation that occurred when using a hammer in ''Kid Icarus'' and its sequel, ''Of Myths and Monsters''. When Pit jumps while holding a hammer, he is posed very similarly to how he jumped in his original games.
*The game titles on the bottom of Pit's trophy description only read ''Kid Icarus'' and not the sequel ''Of Myths and Monsters''. This is most likely a simple oversight.
*Pit can only have 4 arrows flying around at once, once the player inputs the next arrow the first one will disappear.
*If the player performs his [[down smash]] with the C-Stick, Pit will not grunt, though he does when the [[smash attack]] is performed with the regular [[control stick]] + [[A button]] combo.
*Pit's onscreen appearance is similar to Link's from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where he comes down from a beam of light. Even though they are visually similar, Link's was a reference to the portals that teleported Link out of a dungeon in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' after defeating a boss.
*Pit is the only character with 3 midair jumps.
*Pit is the only character who cannot use his up special again if he is hit out of it.

Pit (SSBB)

Pit (ピット, Pit) is a playable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

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 projectiles 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 jumps, 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 mobility, some of the strongest planking capabilities, and two effective reflectors.

However, Pit has problems with KOing 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 gimping, as if he is flinched during Wings of Icarus, he cannot use the move again until landing. Pit also has fairly short reach in his attacks, despite being a sword character. Overall, Pit has good matchups (losing only a handful and being hard countered by only Meta Knight), and while his tournament results are below average in American tournaments, they are much stronger in Japan, where he is ranked 8th instead.

Attributes[edit]

Pit, as seen in the first trailer for Brawl at E3 2006.

Pit is a character who can play into many roles. He combines attacks well, can play up front with low lag smashes and multi-hit neutral attack moves (though his close up game is impaired by poor range), moves relatively quickly, and has a respectable aerial game. Pit is easily juggled due to being a semi-floaty medium weight, but this also makes him difficult to chaingrab. Unique to Pit are two moves that reflect projectiles - his Mirror Shield, which also protects Pit from many attacks, gives him armor while pulling it out and actually turns foes the opposite direction much like Mario's Cape, giving him good gimping capabilities, and his Angel Ring, which is also good for racking up damage.

Pit's Palutena's Arrow is a great projectile due to its fast speed, long range, quick start-up time (making it easily spammable). However, it's also easily perfect shielded due to its fast speed, which makes it lose some of its usefulness. Pit can have only 4 arrows flying around at once, once the player inputs the next arrow the first one will disappear.

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.

Pit's moves generally have low lag, low knockback, and deal medium damage. This, however, is one of Pit's greatest weaknesses. Due to stale-move negation, continued use of his smashes can make KOing a difficult task, forcing the player to switch to projectile attacks to buff out smashes again. Pit's back aerial is his most powerful attack, which is a solid KO move due to its speed. Careful Pit players can maximize his potential, while playing through his weaknesses, but it can be a difficult task.

Moveset[edit]

For a gallery of Pit's hitboxes, see here.

  Name Damage Description
Neutral attack Forehand Slice (フォアハンドスライス) / Backhand Slice (バックハンドスライス) / Upper Swing (アッパースイング) / Spinning Cutter (スピニングカッター) 3% Pit slashes twice, follows up to an upper slash which launches foes diagonally upwards. If the attack button is mashed, Pit will spin his bow instead, hitting multiple times.
3%
5%
1-2% (loop)
Forward tilt Cross Chop (クロスチョップ) 12% Pit thrusts both blades forward. Has decent knockback.
Up tilt Prop Kick (プロップキック) 3% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2), 7% (hit 3) Plants bow into the ground and does a handstand on it, performing two kicks above him, with the first kick connecting to the next. If the opponent is caught standing in front of Pit during initiation of the move, they will be knocked upwards into the following two hits. This initial hit comes out on frame 2, giving Pit's up tilt the lowest amount of startup lag out of of any tilt attack in the game.
Down tilt Leg Cutter (レッグカッター) 11% Pit swipes one blade across the ground in front of him, knocking any foe upwards. Act as a meteor smash if the foe hits Pit's body, not the blade.
Dash attack Dash Slice (ダッシュスライス) 11% (body), 12% (arm), 9% (blade) Pit steps forward and slashes one of his blades horizontally in front of himself. Deals below average knockback.
Forward smash Dual Attack (デュアルアタック) 7% (hit 1), 12% (hit 2) Pit slashes his right-handed blade inward, before quickly assembling both blades and slashing again in a wide outward clearing turn. The first hit deals low set knockback, allowing it to connect into the second hit. The move comes out extremely quickly on frame 6, making it the fastest forward smash in the game (and the entire series) by a wide margin, and the move deals a rather high 19% if both hits connect but, the second hit can be avoided and it is very weak for a forward smash.
Up smash Angel Spin (エンジェルスピン) 3% (hit 1), 2% (hit 2), 8% (hit 3) A leaping triple slash to the sky as Pit turns in midair, which is similar to Link's up smash but is noticeably faster and weaker. The tip of the first slash is actually a spike, which launches foes downward when it connects. It comes out very quickly but it can be escaped from, and the final hit is not very strong.
Down smash Low Attack Combo (ローアタックコンボ) 1st hit: 13% (body & arm), 12% (hilt), 10% (blade)
Hit 2: 10% (body & arm), 9% (hilt), 8% (blade)		 Pit stabs the ground in front of himself with one blade, then behind him with the other. The move deals more damage and knockback if the opponent is closer to Pit. It comes out quickly, but it is not particularly strong. Interestingly, when using this move, Pit only utters a sound upon charging the attack, so Pit will not vocalise if he does not charge the down smash.
Neutral aerial Spinning Cycle (スピニングサイクル) 1% (hits 1-7), 4% (hit 8) Pit spins both blades together in front of him, hitting multiple times. This can stop weak projectiles if executed at the right time.
Forward aerial Cross Slice (クロススライス) 15% (body), 14% (hilt), 13% (blades) Thrusts both blades forward and quickly brings them apart, slashing horizontally. Has unspectacular startup lag, but it does deal a good amount of damage.
Back aerial Air Stab (エアスタッブ) 15% (clean), 7% (late) Pit thrusts his bow behind himself. This move is one of the strongest back aerials in the game when sweetspotted and deals the most knockback out of all of Pit's attacks (outside of his charged smash attacks).
Up aerial Lightning Rotor (ライトニングローター) 2% (hits 1-6) Pit spins his bow above his head, hitting multiple times. Fairly difficult to land all 6 hits.
Down aerial Under Slash (アンダースラッシュ) 12% Pit swipes a blade below him. Launches foes upwards if the hit connects.
Glide attack   12% Pit performs an upper slash with his right blade. It is one of his strongest attacks and it has minimal landing lag, making it completely safe on shield.
Grab Grab (つかみ) —  
Pummel Grab Kneebutt (つかみニーバット) 2% A quick knee jab.
Forward throw Upper Swing (アッパースイング) 6% (hit 1), 4% (throw) Pit slashes away the opponent.
Back throw Behind Throw (ビハインドスルー) 8% Pit spins around with the opponent trailing behind and slams them on the ground behind him.
Up throw Stand Shoot (スタンドシュート) 4% (hit 1), 7% (throw) Pit rolls on his back and handstand kicks the enemy.
Down throw Bone Divide (ボーンディバイド) 2% (hit 1), 4% (throw) Lays opponent on the ground and slashes their back.

Floor attack (front)
Floor getups (front) 		  6% Pit gets up and slashes on either side of himself.

Floor attack (trip)

Edge getups (fast) 		  8% Pit flips onto the stage and delivers a sweep kick.
Edge attack (slow)
Edge getups (slow) 		  10% Slowly climbs onto the stage and stabs forward with his right blade.
Neutral special Palutena's Arrow 5-11% Pit shoots a bluish-white arrow that can be curved in any direction. Can be aimed to the sides and up while charging.
Side special Angel Ring 1-2% (loop), 1.5x damage for reflected projectiles Pit rapidly spins his bow in front of him, which damages opponents while deflecting any incoming projectiles.
Up special Wings of Icarus 0% Pit's wings glow blue and he gains the ability to fly for approximately 3 seconds. He can cancel out the move by performing an aerial attack, which won't leave him helpless, but prevents him from using any unconsumed jumps and the same move again until he lands.
Down special Mirror Shield 1.5x damage for reflected projectiles Pit pulls out his shield and crouches down while holding it in front of him. The shield can be angled up or down to reflect attacks. Any projectiles reflected would go flying back towards the user at x1.7 the original speed. When initially brought out, the shield gives armor and can reverse enemies when they attempt to attack Pit.
Final Smash Palutena's Army 16% (per Centurion) An enormous image of Palutena will appear in the sky (which is transparent on most stages, but is easier seen on stages such as Final Destination), and Centurions fly onto screen, ramming into other players at incredibly high speeds. Each Centurion makes a single attack to a character, and then falls in battle. During the course of the attack, Pit is not bound to a position. Therefore, he is free to move and attack as he pleases. However, unlike most characters, he is not invincible during his Final Smash.

  • Slashes with his swords and says "You can't defeat me!" (負けられないね!, I can't be defeated!)
  • Slowly spins his bow in front of himself, then stops in the same pose as his official art, saying "Too easy." (楽勝楽勝!; Easy win easy win!/Easy peasy!)

Role in The Subspace Emissary[edit]

Pit in SSE.

Pit starts off watching the stadium match between Mario and Kirby through a reflecting pool in a sky palace. After witnessing the invasion of the Subspace Army interrupting the match, the goddess Palutena summons him and sends him to attack the Subspace Army, providing him the Palutena Bow. He eventually meets and teams up with Mario, after battling through a Greap. Mario, stuck in trophy form, is awakened by and joins forces with Pit to fight off the Subspace Army.

Later, they chase after the Ancient Minister but fail to catch him. If the player rescued Zelda, Pit and Mario would face off against a clone of her made from Shadow Bugs. Link, who was passing by with Yoshi, was furious because he thought that the copy of Zelda was the real thing so he and Yoshi attack Pit and Mario. When the player wins against Link and Yoshi, they are turned into trophies and are captured by King Dedede but are rescued by Kirby. Kirby revives Link and Yoshi, then Link fires an arrow at the car that King Dedede stole from Wario to slow him down. Pit, Mario, Link, Yoshi and Kirby then team up to stop King Dedede.

If the player rescued Peach, Link and Yoshi would attack the clone of Peach and Mario and Pit would attack Link and Yoshi, but they would lose and turn into trophies. Then they get captured by King Dedede but are rescued narrowly by Kirby. They are then revived by Kirby and Pit fires an arrow at the Cargo that King Dedede stole and the story continues. The five heroes then come across King Dedede's castle, which has been raided by Bowser. The team catches up to Bowser, who has stolen the trophy of Peach/Zelda. Bowser dodged Mario and Pit's attacks and escaped in his Koopa Clown Car.

Much later, the team once again runs into the Ancient Minister. Pit fires an arrow at the Minister but he dodges before it hit. They then chase after the Minister but are stopped by his R.O.B. army. The R.O.B's then start to activate the Subspace Bomb that the Minister carried. Mario and Pit try to take the R.O.Bs that are activating the bomb off (Pit tries to pull one off while Mario punches the other) but are pulled away by two other R.O.B's. The team barely escapes when the bomb explodes. Later, the team comes down to help Marth, Ike, Ice Climbers, Lucas, and the Pokémon Trainer from a huge army of Subspace minions. Soon, he and the rest of the heroes stormed into Subspace but were transformed into trophies by Tabuu's Off Waves. He was rescued later by Ness, Luigi, and King Dedede. Afterwards, he then helped the characters get through The Great Maze and participated in the battle against Tabuu himself.

Palutena's Army
Pit's Final Smash. An image of the goddess Palutena appears, heralding the arrival of Pit's legions, the Centurions. These flying warriors proceed to attack all enemies with fierce savagery. Once a Centurion strikes an enemy, he falls from the sky, never to fly again. Centurions are so fast that dodging them is very hard. Take heart, Centurions! Your deaths are not in vain!

Trivia[edit]

  • Pit's original Brawl artwork portrayed him as having significantly more feathers on his wings, a narrower face, thicker, shorter legs, more tufts of hair, and white rings around his wrist as opposed to the golden ones on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! image. He is one of three characters who originally had a different pose on Smash Bros. DOJO!!, sharing this trait with Snake and Zero Suit Samus.
  • Pit will carry his bow in two parts if the last move he used required a sword (e.g. tilts, smashes sans forward smash), and as a bow if the last move was a bow attack (e.g. Angel Ring).
    • However, his dash attack is not affected by this, as it can be done with both his bow split into two or fully put together. This also applies to his spot dodge, air dodge and roll; in the case of his roll however, it must be done quickly before his bow is fully formed via his shield animation.
  • Occasionally Pit will utter "I'm done for..." (遣られちゃった..., They got me...) as his KO cry (a reference to the "Game Over" screen from Kid Icarus: "I'm finished!").
  • When Pit gets a Hammer/Golden Hammer, Pit won't swing his arms up and down, but only pivots his wrist. The animation for him looks almost identical to Mr. Game & Watch's hammer animation, but it is more likely a reference to the very similar animation that occurred when using a hammer in Kid Icarus and its sequel, Of Myths and Monsters. When Pit jumps while holding a hammer, he is posed very similarly to how he jumped in his original games.
  • If Pit is holding an item, his bow will never be separated. If he does his up or side taunt while holding an item, Pit will separate his bow as normal, but the item will reappear after the taunt.
  • Pit is one of three characters that can glide, with the two others being Charizard and Meta Knight.
