Pit (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)


 * This article is about Pit's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Pit.

Announced at E3 2006, Pit (ピット, Pitto) is a character appearing in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. 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 Arrow. Pit can jump in mid-air multiple times, but like Kirby and Jigglypuff, he will fall after time. In addition, Pit's Up-B move, known as the Wings of Icarus, allows him to fly freely for a brief period of time. It is currently unknown whether or not this move is capable of causing damage, or whether Pit is able to attack while flying. He will also, like Meta-Knight, have a multi-hit aerial attack. Like Meta Knight and Charizard, Pit is able to glide.

SWF members at E for All have stated Pit's Special Down move is his Mirror Shield and can reflect any attack, even attacks like Sonic's Spin Dash attack.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
After witnessing the invasion of the Subspace Army from above, the goddess Palutena sends Pit to attack the Subspace Army, giving him her Arrows. He eventually meets and teams up with Mario, after battling through a Greap. Mario, stuck in trophy form, is awakened by Pit and become a team to fight off the Subspace Army.

Event Matches
Cleaning House in Skyworld- The player controls Pit and apparently has to break all the platforms in Skyworld before Wario. 

Pros:

 * One of the best projectiles, the Palutena Arrow: Fast, decent damage, controllable, can be used while recovering
 * Has one of the only projectiles in the game that can be fired straight upward.
 * Fast movement
 * Very Fast attacks
 * Can rack up damage quickly
 * Most attacks can kill easily at fairly high percentages
 * Multiple midair jumps
 * Can Wall Jump
 * Can Glide
 * Up B provides a huge amount of distance, and can be attacked out of
 * Two ways to reflect projectiles
 * Has by far the largest recovery distance in the game, although he can only glide once before landing (unlike Meta Knight)
 * Can make Palutena Arrow do loops, and hit recovering enemies with it (though it is difficult to aim effectively)

Cons:

 * If hit during the Up B, it cannot be used again, nor can any other jumps be used, which usually results in a death unless used properly
 * On the lighter side
 * Lacks moves that kill at low percentages (except when looping Palutena Arrow)

Ground Attacks

 * Dash A - Small slash forward with one of his blades.
 * Neutral A - Slashes four times, spins the blades together back and forth, hitting repeatedly
 * Down Tilt - Crouches and swipes blade towards the ground
 * Forward Tilt - Thrusts both blades forward
 * Up Tilt - Plants one sword into the ground and does a handstand on it, kicking above him
 * Down Smash - Slashes towards the ground in front of and behind him. Similar to Link's Down Smash

 * Neutral Aerial - Spins both blades together in front of him, hitting multiple times
 * Up Aerial - Spins his blades together above his head, hitting multiple times
