Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

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.
• The look of Pit's Upperdash Arm has been altered. The blue orb in the center has more detail, making it more closely resemble its appearance in Uprising.
• Pit's idle animation has been slightly altered.
• Pit's side taunt has been shortened. He now swings his bow three times instead of four.
• The wing particle effects from Pit's down taunt are more pronounced.
• Pit's Star KO now has him shout, "I never learned how to read!" which is a line from Uprising.
• Pit's "victory sign" animation has changed. He now does a celebratory jump before showing the hand sign.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Pit's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• Pit walks faster (1.199 → 1.259).
• Pit dashes much faster (1.66215 → 1.828).
• Pit's air speed is slightly higher (0.89 → 0.935).

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • The third hit of neutral attack deals less damage (5% → 4%).
  • 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.
  • Neutral infinite connects better into the final hit, improving the move's utility.
  • Neutral infinite deals more knockback.
• Up tilt:
  • Up tilt's animation has been altered into two lunging upward kicks.
  • Up tilt deals slightly less damage (10% → 9%).
  • Up tilt has less endlag (FAF 43 → 35).
    • Up tilt's final hit deals less knockback, combined with the lower endlag, this grants it improved combo potential.
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has less endlag (FAF 32 → 26), and launches at a more vertical angle, improving its combo potential.
  • Down tilt, when used in quick succession, can now make him pseudo-crawl.
• Dash attack's animation has been altered to a downward swipe of his blade. It is quicker and covers more area in front of Pit. It also deals significantly higher knockback.
• Forward smash:
• Forward smash's first hit has more range, but its second hit has less range. This makes it easier to land the first hit of the move and harder to land the second.
  • Forward smash has less ending lag (FAF 59 → 55).
  • Forward smash's second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag (Neutral: 24 → 14, Forward: 20 → 12, Back: 20 → 11, Up: 24 → 14, Down: 24 → 12).
• Neutral aerial's multi-hits connect more consistently.
• Forward and up aerial multi-hits deal less damage, while the final hits deal more. As a result, their knockback, kill power, and overall damage are increased.
• Back aerial deals more knockback.
• Down air hitbox is bigger.

Throws/other attacks

• Standing grab and dash grab have increased ending lag.
• Pummel deals less damage (2% → 1.3%).

Special Moves

• Palutena Bow has less startup lag (19 frames → 15).
• Upperdash Arm:
  • Pit can act out of Upperdash Arm if it connects.
  • Grounded and aerial Upperdash Arm has less ending lag (FAF 83 (grounded)/121 (aerial) → 70/105).
  • Upperdash Arm deals significantly more knockback.
• Power of Flight:
  • Power of Flight can now grab the ledge when facing backwards.
  • Power of Flight halts at the end of the move, reducing its recovery potential.
    • Pit will float for a little bit after the move, but that means he will be more vulnerable to attacks.
• Guardian Orbitars:
  • Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.
  • Guardian Orbitars will shrink the longer they are held out.

Role in World of Light

Pit was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of Master Hands.

Pit tried to rally the other fighters to fight the army of Master Hands; he felt confident that the fighters would win the exchange against the Master Hands. Pit was present when Galeem unleashed his beams of light. He was flying alongside Dark Pit to escape the beams, but after Palutena was vaporized, they lost their Power of Flight and fell victim to the beams as well. They were both placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

He appears in the Temple of Light sub-area at the very end. Defeating him allows access to a bridge that was previously blocked by being engulfed in light.

He is later seen alongside several other fighters, as they make their final stand against Galeem and Dharkon.

Trivia

• Pit's pose in his official artwork resembles his side taunt.
• When Pit is Star KO'd, he 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 Super Smash Bros. to speak a full sentence during a Star KO.
• Pit is one of the few characters to have a completely different Final Smash in every Smash game since the concept's introduction in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with King Dedede, R.O.B., and Zero Suit Samus.
• Pit is the only fighter who was introduced in Brawl to have an Echo Fighter, that being Dark Pit.
