Announced at E3 2006, Pit (ピット, Pitto) is a character appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl after a sixteen year absence. He ranks 18th in the tier list. He uses a bow and arrow as a weapon, and it can also split into 2 small blades. Pit's arrows shoot out like beams of light when fired, and the curve of the arrows' trajectory can be controlled by the player, by pressing up or down. The bow itself can be aimed before shooting the arrow, as seen at around 4:18 in this video. This is called Palutena's Arrow. Pit has the ability to jump in midair multiple times, though, according to the DOJO!!, Pit is an angel who cannot ordinarily fly. Pit's Up Special Move, known as the Wings of Icarus, allows him to fly freely for a brief period of time, though, like his midair jumps, he will fall soon afterwards. This move cannot cause damage, and Pit cancels it if he attacks or is attacked. Like Meta Knight and Charizard, Pit is able to glide.

Pit's various costume changes

Trivia

• Strangely, Pit and Link have much in common. Both wield bows that they use with their left hands. Both have shields, and share the same general colors in costumes: Green, white, red, blue, gold, and black/dark. Whether this was deliberate is not known.
• Every once in a while Pit will utter "I’m done for..." as his death cry (a reference to the "Game Over" screen from Kid Icarus: "I'm finished!").
• Interestingly, Pit cannot enter his rapid fire attack by simply holding the "Attack" button, he will only do a three hit combo. However, once he has entered the rapid fire attack, it is necessary only to continue holding 'Attack' to continue it. This means Pit essentially has two different "combos" depending if the button is tapped or held initially.
• Depending on the last use move used by the player, Pit can move around with his bow as a bow or separated (For example, if his up tilt is last used, it will still be together when he walks around, but if his side smash is used last, it will be separated when he walks around.) It will also be shaped differently if he used one of the spinning attacks.
• If Pit is holding an item, his bow will never be separated. If the player uses up or side taunt while holding an item, Pit will separate his bow as normal, but the item will disappear until the taunt ends.
• If one changes Pit's outfit, the color of his wings sometimes changes. However, even with different colored wings, he will still shed white feathers instead of the appropriate color when he jumps.
• When using his down-smash, Pit only utters a sound when using it manually. He will not say the vocal if down-smash is initiated instantly using the C-stick.
• Pit is the only character with wings who doesn't glide across the floor while dashing. This is very ironic since he not only has the fastest glide in the game, but also has a slower dash speed than both of the other gliders (Meta Knight and Charizard.)
• His old profile portrayed him as having significantly more feathers on his wings, a narrower face, more tufts of hair, and white rings around his wrist as opposed to the golden ones on the Smash Bros. Dojo image.
• In Brawl, Pit is unable to crawl, although in his other games he is able.
