Pit (SSB4)

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. A video showing his new voice can be seen here.

Changes from Brawl

Pit has been more re-balanced from Brawl to Smash 4. While he can no longer glide, he has new recovery options to compensate.

  •   Pit is slightly heavier than in Brawl.
  •   His dash attack has less ending lag.
  •   Pit has a new side special move called the Upperdash Arm. The Upperdash Arm gives Pit some form of launch resistance, just like homing dash attacks in Uprising, it has good base knockback, and the move also propels him vertically if he hits a target while airborne, similar to Raptor Boost.
    •   This move can also reflect projectiles and launch them diagonally.
  •   Pit now uses the Guardian Orbitars as his new down special move, which deals damage and reflects in both directions.
  •   Forward smash, back throw, and up smash appear to have strengthened.
    •   However, his forward smash deals less damage.
    •   In addition, the final hit of his up smash is now slower than the first two.
  •   Neutral infinite, as with other neutral infinite attacks, now transitions into a powerful hit.
    •   His basic neutral attack (three slashing hits) deals slightly less damage.
  •   Up tilt animation is tighter and has less lag throughout and appears to be stronger.
    •   It deals noticeably less damage, dealing 10% instead of 16%.
  •   Pit, along with Meta Knight and Charizard, can no longer glide.
  •   A number of Pit's attacks (e.g. forward tilt, dash attack, up smash) deal less damage than in Brawl. His forward tilt also has more ending lag.
    •   Pit's swords has now a flash to indicate a successful sweetspot.
  •   Pit's pose when charging and firing Palutena's Arrow has been slightly altered to look sharper.
    •   It has much more startup, deals less damage, and the arrows produced vanish after a short time.
  •   Pit's new forward aerial now has him spinning his bow around in front of him, much like his neutral aerial.
  •   Pit's up special from Brawl has been replaced with Power of Flight, a move that involves Pit charging up, then soaring in a certain direction up. This move has a long range, giving Pit shockingly good recovery.
  •   When using his side taunt, Pit now says "That all you got?"
    •   Similarly, when he uses his up taunt, Pit now says "Come on!"
  •   Pit's rolling dodges include the sound made in Kid Icarus: Uprising when attacks are dodged.
  •   Pit has a new Final Smash, Three Sacred Treasures.
  •   Pit now says "I'm finished..." if he is KO'd.

The following appear visually unchanged:

  • Up and down taunts

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 three characters to yell a complete sentence upon being KO'd in Smash 4, alongside Robin and Dark Pit.
