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. Pit is classified as fighter #28.

Antony Del Rio and Minami Takayama reprise the role of Pit in the English and Japanese versions of the game, respectively.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Play VS. matches, with Pit being the 4th character to be unlocked.
• Clear Classic Mode with Samus or any character in her unlock tree, being the third character unlocked after Wii Fit Trainer.
• Have Pit join the player's party in World of Light.

With the exception of the third method, Pit must then be defeated on Skyworld.

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 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.
• Up tilt's animation has been altered into two lunging upward kicks.
• Up tilt's endlag has been significantly lowered.
• Down tilt's endlag has been significantly lowered, and its angle has been made more vertical.
• 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'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's second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag.
• Neutral aerial has a slightly longer duration.
• 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.
• Down air hitbox is bigger.

Throws/other attacks

• Standing grab and dash grab have increased ending lag.

Special Moves

• Palutena Bow travels faster and has decreased endlag.
• Palutena Bow's arrows now give out a significant amount of light when being charged.
• Aerial Upperdash Arm has less endlag when whiffed.
• Upperdash Arm has slightly less knockback and does less damage.
• 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 comes out faster when activated.
• Guardian Orbitars will shrink the longer they are held out.
• Pit's Final Smash has changed once again, now being the Lightning Chariot from Uprising, which functions similarly to the Dragoon, though coming from behind rather than in front.

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 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 Brawl, along with King Dedede, Zero Suit Samus, and R.O.B..
• Pit is the only fighter who was introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to have an Echo Fighter, that being Dark Pit.
