Universe	Kid Icarus
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Availability	Starter
Final Smash	Three Sacred Treasures

Pit (ピット, Pitto) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. Aside from general graphical enhancements, he sports the animesque look he had in Kid Icarus: Uprising. His special moves have been given an extensive overhaul to be based on the weapons and powers he wields in Uprising.

Antony Del Rio reprised his role as Pit after Kid Icarus Uprising in Smash 4, as well as in Palutena's debut trailer.

Changes from Brawl

While Pit can no longer glide, he has new recovery options to compensate.

Aesthetics

• Pit's rolling dodges include the sound made in Kid Icarus: Uprising when attacks are dodged.
• Pit now says "Come on!" for his up taunt and "That all you got?" for his side taunt.

Attributes

• Pit is slightly heavier than in Brawl.

Ground attacks

• Forward tilt has more ending lag.
• Up tilt animation is tighter and has less lag throughout and appears to be stronger.
• Up tilt deals noticeably less damage, dealing 10% instead of 16%.
• Dash attack has less ending lag.
• Forward and up smashes are stronger.
• Forward smash deals less damage.
• Up smash's last hit is slower.

Aerial attacks

• Pit's new forward aerial now has him spinning his bow around in front of him, much like his neutral aerial.

Throws/other attacks

• Up throw is stronger.

Special moves

• Palutena's Arrow has much more startup lag, deals less damage, and the arrows produced vanish after a short time.
• Pit's pose when charging and firing Palutena's Arrow has been slightly altered to look sharper.
• Upperdash Arm repalces Angel Ring as Pit's side special move.
• Power of Flight replaces Wings of Icarus as Pit's up special move. It doesn't have as much control or recovery distance, but it is much more straightforward and has none of the unique downsides.
• Pit now uses the Guardian Orbitars as his new down special move, which compared to the old Mirror Shield, deals damage and reflects in both directions.
• Pit has a completely new Final Smash, Three Sacred Treasures.

Trophies

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions

Pit's regular trophy can be obtained by completing Classic Mode with him and his alternative trophy can be obtained by completing All-Star mode with him.

Pit

NA: Pit is the captain of Palutena's royal guard. Despite the wings on his back, Pit needs the Power of Flight from Palutena in order to truly fly. In Smash Bros., he can still get more air than most, with four jumps and a special move that boosts him higher. He has a new reflect move—it protects both sides!

PAL: Despite being an angel with wings and all that jazz, Pit can't fly without a little bit of help from his favourite goddess, Palutena. In this game, he's good at both close and ranged combat, and can even deflect projectiles. On top of that, with a high-flying up special and the ability to jump four times in mid-air. he's also got great recovery skills.

Pit (Alt.)

NA: Pit's side special Upperdash Arm delivers an uppercut so strong, it can send foes flying for a KO. If you miss and fall off the stage, Pit's up special can bring him soaring back. Another of Pit's specials is Palutena Bow, which fires arrows Pit can aim even after they've left the bow.

PAL: Pit's Upperdash Arm special launches him forwards to strike with an uppercut. It's so powerful, it can deliver an instant KO! If you accidentally dash off the stage with it, one of his up special will get you back on easily. His Palutena Bow special can be charged up, shot straight up into the air, and you can even guide the arrows mid-flight!

Trivia

• Pit was the first returning character that was a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be confirmed.
• Pit's new victory pose, where he holds up a V-sign, is a reference to the ending of Kid Icarus Uprising.
• Pit sometimes yells "I'm finished...!" upon being KO'd, as a reference to the game over screen of the original Kid Icarus. This makes Pit one of four characters to yell a complete sentence upon being KO'd in Smash 4, alongside Robin, Dark Pit, and Shulk.
