Pit is a veteran fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, first playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He was confirmed to return on June 12, 2018 during E3 2018.

When unlocked, he is fought at Skyworld.

Attributes

• As with all veterans coming from Super Smash Bros. 4, Pit received a more subdued colour scheme. He now features more simple detailing on his wings and clothing, and his eyes and hair have more detail.
• Like many other characters, Pit is more expressive.
• Pit has his Upperdash Arm's appearance altered. The blue orb it contains in its center has more detail, so it more closely resembles how it appeared in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
• Pit was given a slightly altered idle animation.
• During his side taunt, Pit swings his bow's blades 3 times instead of four.
• Pit's Star KO has him shout, "I never learned how to read...!!" This is a reference to one of his lines in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
• Pit's "victory sign" animation has changed, now involving a celebratory jump before the hand sign.

Strengths

• Pit can walk and run faster, and his jumpsquat animation now takes 3 frames instead of 5 (having been increased like most (if not all) characters).
• His air speed, and air acceleration have been increased.
• His traction is now higher, tied with Dark Pit for the second highest.
• His air dodge grants a longer intangibility time (27 frames).

Weaknesses

• Pit's forward roll has more ending lag, and his back roll has more startup and enging lag times.
• His spot and air dodges have more startup lag, and the latter has more ending lag.

Taunts

• Down Taunt: Pit sptreads his arms and wings, during which a few feathers flutter off slowly. This is his only silent taunt.
• Side Taunt: Pit separates his bow and flourishes the bow's blades before striking a pose while saying, "That all you got?" In Japanese, he says, "Not just yet!"

On-Screen Appearance

• Pit slowly drops from the sky in a beam of light.

Idle Poses

• Pit briefly fiddles with his bow. If it is in its bow form, it will be split into its blades form.
• Pit taps the tips of his buskins on the ground and then impatiently hops in place.

Victory Poses

1. Pit drops on the ground. He performs two alternated inward slashes with his detached blades and says, "It's game over for you!" The finishing pose is similar to his artwork, albeit the blade in his left hand is held in a proper grip. In Japanese, he says, "Struck down!"
2. Pit jumps with his fist raise. After landing, he briefly faces away from the screen, and turns back around. He strikes the victory sign saying, "Victory!" (or, "Peace!" in Japanese). This is based off the ending of Kid Icarus: Uprising.
3. Pit spins his bow in his right hand, then stops with the bow held out in front of him, in a similar manner to his Super Smash Bros. Brawl pose. He then says, "That was easy!" ("Easy win easy win!" in Japanese).
4. Same as #3, but Pit says, "What's up now!?" (or, "Easy peasy!" in Japanese).

Trivia

• During his Star KO, Pit will shout "I never learned how to read!". This is a reference to a line of dialogue he uses in Kid Icarus: Uprising when he was falling during Chapter 17. This makes Pit the only fighter that talks when Star KO'd.
  • However, his Echo Fighter, Dark Pit, still screams.
• His classic mode itinerary references enemies fought in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
