Pit (ピット, Pit) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018. Antony Del Rio once again reprises his role as Pit in the English version of the game.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Pit's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing and wings now feature simple detailing, while his eyes and hair appear more detailed.
• Like many other characters, Pit is more expressive.
• Pit's "victory sign" animation has changed. He now does a celebratory jump before showing the hand sign.

Attributes

• Like all characters, his jumpsquat animation is now 3 frames.

Ground attacks

• Neutral infinite's animation has changed. Pit's bow no longer spins while fully formed, he now quickly slashes with the bow split in two.
• Pit's multi hit neutral attack connects better into the final hit, improving the move's utility.
• Dash attack's animation has been altered. Pit lunges quicker, and the move travels further. It also deals more knockback.
• Forward Smash second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial has a slightly longer duration.
• Forward air kockback increased.
• Up air knockback increased.
• Back air sourspot seems to be removed.
• Down air hitbox is bigger.
• All aerial moves has reduced landing lag.

Special moves

• Palutena Bow travels faster and has decreased endlag.
• Pit's Final Smash has changed once again, now being the Lightning Chariot from Uprising, which has the same attack as the Dragoon, though coming from behind rather than in front.
• Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.
• Power of Flight can now grab the ledge when facing backwards.
• Upperdash Arm has less endlag when falling off the ledge.

Trivia

• Pit's pose in his official artwork resembles his side taunt.
• When Pit is KO'd via Star KO, he sometimes shouts, "I never learned how to read!" This is a reference to a line of dialogue he uses in Kid Icarus Uprising. This makes Pit the first character in Smash Bros. to speak a full sentence during a Star KO.
