'''Pit''' ({{ja|ピット|Pitto}}, ''Pit'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018] alongside fellow ''Kid Icarus'' fighters {{SSBU|Dark Pit}} and {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and the rest of the returning roster. Pit is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #28]].

Antony Del Rio and {{iw|wikipedia|Minami Takayama}} reprise their roles as Pit's voice actors in the English and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'' via recycled voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' along with some new voice clips. However, Del Rio remains uncredited for his role as in ''SSB4'', most likely because of him still being a union-based voice actor. Both voice actors also provide new [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversations for every veteran not present in ''SSB4'', [[Downloadable content (SSB4)#Fighters|the downloadable fighters of ''SSB4'']], the base roster newcomers of ''Ultimate'', and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}.

Pit, alongside his [[Echo Fighter]] Dark Pit, are ranked 41st out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing them in the B- tier. This is higher than their 32nd out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Pit being the 4th character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Samus}} or any character in her unlock tree, being the 3rd character unlocked after {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}.
*Have Pit join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
Pit must then be defeated on [[Skyworld]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).

==Attributes==
Pit is a [[weight|middleweight]] who has above-average [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds, a fast initial dash, very high [[traction]] (being tied with [[Dark Pit (SSBU)|his Echo Fighter]] for the 2nd highest behind {{SSBU|Sonic}}), average [[air acceleration]] and [[falling speed]], and below-average [[air speed]] and [[gravity]]. Pit's [[jump]] and [[double jump]] are both low, although this flaw is largely offset by his [[Double jump#Multiple double jumps|3 double jumps]]. These attributes render Pit's overall mobility as average, yet make him adept at adapting to most situations.

As a beginner-friendly character, Pit has a low learning curve, yet is quite rewarding when played wisely. His ease of use is probably best exemplified by his fast frame data; aside from six moves (forward tilt, forward smash, and forward/back/up/down aerials), the rest of Pit's standard moveset has less than 10 frames of startup lag. Much like his attributes, Pit's moveset is balanced, so much so that it seemingly has no glaring strengths or weaknesses. When coupled with his great neutral game, Pit's edgeguarding potential, [[punishment]] ability, and conversions are all balanced compared to the rest of the cast. Pit's ground game overall possesses a decent level of utility. Neutral attack, down tilt and down smash are decent spacing options, thanks to their quick start-up and moderate ending lag in proportion to their range, with down tilt also serving as a useful combo starter unlike in ''SSB4'' in addition to making Pit pseudo-[[crawl]].

Neutral attack's first two hits can [[jab lock]], while dash attack can punish landings and whiffed attacks very effectively, and down smash's back hit is a moderately strong [[semi-spike]]. Up tilt and especially up smash are useful anti-air moves, with the former being viable for setting up juggles even at higher percentages, while the latter also boasts enough power to score KOs. Lastly, forward smash is Pit's strongest KOing option, and it has among the fastest startup of any forward smash in the game.

Pit possesses a respectable grab game. Forward throw can combo into dash attack at low percentages or KO at high percentages while near the edge, while down throw can be used to combo into up smash or any of his aerials. Back throw can combo into a dash attack at low percentages as well and can be used to setup edgeguards at higher percentages. Finally, up throw is Pit's most damaging, yet least useful throw, since its only utility is to occasionally set up juggles or pressure.

Pit's air game is also useful, thanks to his aerial attacks' ability to all [[autocancel]] in a short hop and their particular strengths. Neutral aerial has the lowest amount of startup lag out of his entire moveset, a long duration, and an excellent autocancel window. Altogether, these traits make it a decent [[out of shield]] option, decent for edgeguarding and approaching, and similarly to {{SSBU|Palutena}}'s neutral aerial, it is also useful for pressure and combos. Forward and up aerials are reliable followups from down throw, the latter more so at mid to high percentages; in addition, the former is useful for approaching and edgeguarding, whereas the latter is excellent for juggling. Back aerial is Pit's strongest aerial attack when sweetspotted, making it ideal for spacing as well as for outright KOing. Lastly, down aerial has the lowest ending lag of Pit's aerials, and is useful for edgeguarding thanks to it being a [[meteor smash]] during its first frame, and its fairly large range also makes it decent for approaching; the inability to tech grounded meteor smashes in ''Ultimate'' also enables down aerial to serve as a combo starter at higher percents that can combo into an up smash for a reliable KO combo. It's also fast for a meteor smash, coming out on frame 10. Pit's aerial attacks also have low landing lag.

Pit's special moves are fairly versatile as well, reinforcing his ease of use. He has a great projectile in [[Palutena Bow]] which moves quickly, can be [[charge]]d and easily maneuvered makes it very useful for camping, edgeguarding, winning projectile wars against characters such as {{SSBU|Simon}}, and even [[mindgame]]s. [[Upperdash Arm]] functions very similarly to [[Raptor Boost]]: it propels Pit forward and, upon making contact with something, results in him throwing an uppercut that has a decent damage output and very high base knockback, and can KO at high percentages. Upperdash Arm also has utility outside of offense; it grants [[super armor]], can reflect projectiles, and can function as a horizontal recovery option. However, it is very punishable because of its dash's noticeable startup lag and extreme amount of ending lag, especially when it misses. Upperdash Arm's deflection property is also fairly inconsequential, since it reflects projectiles at an upward diagonal angle instead of directly back at the opponent. [[Power of Flight]] covers an impressive amount of distance, and be angled to propel Pit either vertically, diagonally, or almost horizontally; it also grants Pit brief [[intangibility]] on startup as well. Lastly, [[Guardian Orbitars]] protect Pit on his left and right sides with energy shields that [[reflect]] projectiles. They are also capable of [[Windbox#Pushing attacks|pushing]] opponents back, which makes them capable of edgeguarding. However, the Orbitars are not indestructible: should they end up being destroyed, they cannot be used again for 10 seconds. In addition, their high amount of ending lag makes them highly risky when used on the ground or when landing.

Despite his strengths, Pit does have some weaknesses. Like any all-around character, most characters are able to outperform him in various areas: as examples, {{SSBU|Mario}} himself has a significantly more versatile combo game, {{SSBU|Fox}} has better mobility, {{SSBU|Olimar}} and {{SSBU|Snake}} are better at [[camp]]ing, {{SSBU|Shulk}} has much greater range, and {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} has much stronger attacks. Pit's KO potential, however, is his most noticeable weakness, despite being buffed in the transition to ''Ultimate''. Despite possessing a serviceable amount of KOing options, only his forward smash and up smash are consistently effective, and even these are highly unsafe on shield due to their high ending lag. In comparison, his other KOing options are only effective when sweetspotted (forward tilt and back aerial), or above 130% (dash attack, down aerial, down smash, forward throw and [[Upperdash Arm]]). This, in turn, is further compounded by his lack of guaranteed KO setups outside of sweetspotted down aerial into up smash or forward smash.

Although [[rage]] somewhat alleviates Pit's KO potential, his average endurance means that he cannot utilize it as consistently or effectively as heavier characters can. As a result, Pit will typically spend a comparatively longer time racking up damage before attempting to score a KO, and will often give the opponent high amounts of rage in the process.

Although all of Pit's aerials autocancel in a short hop, only his forward and back aerials autocancel during a short hop buffered fast fall. This means that Pit players will often need to manually delay their fast fall perfectly in order to use his aerials effectively.

Pit's slow air speed, average falling speed and low gravity make him somewhat floaty and he noticeably struggles to both land and contest other aerial opponents due to neutral air and forward air's small looping hitboxes, and they both have glaring blindspots, not fully covering his bow as it spins, the former only hits at very close range and they are both poor defensively due to their lack of range. In the end, Pit's aerials are helpful in his advantage state and supplement his grounded neutral game, but are much less useful when he is disadvantaged. To make this issue even worse, he has only one aerial which comes out before frame 10, which is his frame 4 neutral aerial, while his back, up, and down aerials come out on frame 10, and his forward aerial at frame 11, being the slowest startup of his entire moveset. Due to his aerials being unable to properly cover him, and his floaty nature, Pit is vulnerable to pressure, as he lacks reliable ways to escape pressure or to defend himself from juggles. While his down aerial is overall fast, especially for a meteor smash, and has good range, he cannot be overly reliant on that to get out of disadvantage, and Palutena Bow, while versatile, needs a long time to be used effectively. This gives Pit a poor disadvantage state overall.

Although long-distanced, Pit's recovery is linear and predictable, and Power of Flight also does not provide Pit with protective hitboxes around him either while its intangibility period is very brief, which can leave him vulnerable to sufficiently strong meteor smashes. Additionally, while Upperdash Arm can aid Pit's horizontal recovery, it has an extreme amount of ending lag when performed in the air, making it extremely risky when improperly used as a recovery option.

All in all, Pit's strengths outweigh his weaknesses. His moveset consists of many moves with long range (his grounded moves and back aerial), long durations (neutral/forward/up aerials and forward tilt), low ending lag (autocanceled neutral/forward aerials, down smash and Palutena Bow) or quick movement (dash attack, dash grab and Upperdash Arm). This combination of traits, along with his good grounded mobility, allows Pit to reliably keep opponents in a disadvantage state, either stuck trying to land or getting off the edge.

In the end, he can cover enough options and retain advantage long enough to rack up good amounts of damage. However, he suffers from unimpressive KO potential similarly to lightweights, yet lacks the extended combo options and safe pressuring options that they typically possess for damage-racking.

Despite being a very balanced character, players often tend to overlook Pit in favor of other characters that possess much more outstanding strengths than he does. This has also been reflected in his tournament representation, which is minimal outside of Japan, much like in ''SSB4''. However, Pit has nevertheless managed to achieve an adequate level of success in the competitive scene, although not as much as in ''SSB4'': {{Sm|Kuro}} in particular has done well with Pit, with him placing 3rd at [[Umebura SP]]. Pit has also received results from others like {{Sm|KiraFlax}}.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Pit has been [[buff]]ed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Almost all aspects of Pit's moveset have been improved overall, and he generally benefits from the changes to gameplay mechanics.

Among Pit's largest buffs are to his KOing ability and a significantly improved [[aerial attack|aerial game]]. Previously plagued with mediocre KO power due to his lack of safe KO options (especially in comparison to the rest of the cast) in ''SSB4'', his [[dash attack]], front hit of down smash, back aerial, down aerial, and [[Upperdash Arm]] have all had their knockback increased to the point of KOing reliably at high percentages, while his neutral and forward aerials are much better for [[edgeguarding]] due to their slightly higher knockback; particularly, the latter has had some of its lost KO potential restored from ''Brawl''. This is complemented by Pit's already existing KO options, as well as his generally more effective damage racking ability due to his higher damage output and larger amount of combo starters.

His aerial game is drastically more useful as a result of the universally decreased [[landing lag]], which puts his overall landing lag more in-line with the rest of the cast, gives him newfound set-up potential due to most of them being multi-hit based, and makes them safer to use against [[shield]]s (complemented further by [[out of shield]] options being weakened); the latter point means his already respectable [[neutral game]] has been strengthened as a result. His aerials themselves have also been buffed to varying degrees; his neutral, forward and up aerials deal more damage, with the former also connecting slightly more reliably and the latter now KOing reliably, and his down aerial has a larger [[meteor smash]] hitbox.

Pit has also received some useful buffs to his ground game, as his [[up tilt]] and [[down tilt]] have received less ending lag and more favorable angles that turn them into more reliable combo starters, and his [[neutral attack]]'s infinite —previously unreliable due to its poor linking— is much more effective for racking up damage due to the several tweaks it has received. Moreover, his special move kit has increased utility, with both [[Palutena Bow]] and [[Guardian Orbitars]] being sped up, improving his [[camping]] ability; Upperdash's Arm receiving an aforementioned increase in KO power; and [[Power of Flight]] now being able to grab edges from behind, making it a much more useful recovery move.

Finally, and apart from the reduced landing lag, Pit largely benefits from many of the universal changes to ''Ultimate''. The changes to [[air dodge]]s significantly improve his edgeguarding game, which is further bolstered by his improved aerial game and more reliable projectile, while not hampering as much due to his multiple jumps and long-distanced recovery move. The faster mobility, along with the ability to [[Dash-canceling|use any attack out of a run]] also give him many more options in the neutral game, thanks to his more varied amount of combo starters. Altogether, Pit's buffs and the changes to the engine ultimately grant him a much stronger and reliable offensive game, which was a previously large weakness from ''SSB4''.

However, Pit has received a few, though minor, nerfs. The universal nerfs to grabs hinder Pit, as all of his grabs now have increased ending lag in addition to his dash grab and pivot grab's start-up lag being standardized. Combined with the universal nerfing of shields, this makes Pit's grab game less effective than it was in ''SSB4'', although it is still above average. Some of Pit's attacks have received minor nerfs as well; his up tilt has less range, Guardian Orbitars have less HP and shrink the more time they're held out, and Power of Flight now halts immediately at the end of the move's duration, slightly worsening Pit's recovery.

Overall, Pit's moveset has been strengthened as a whole, now boasting an offensive game more comparable to other characters while keeping his defensive game relatively intact, and the universal changes allow him with far more opportunities to take the upper hand. However, he still lacks noteworthy attributes (outside of his edgeguarding ability) and some of the same weaknesses his previous incarnation suffered from, such as hitbox inconsistencies, trouble at landing in general due to being floaty, vulnerable recovery, and KOing issues despite the buffs made to his moveset's power. This isn't helped by many veterans either being buffed to varying degrees and/or benefitting from the universal changes. That said, Pit has received buffs from game updates that have helped fix some inconsistencies or given him new options, letting him moderately keep up with the rest of the cast. Altogether, Pit fares much better than he did in ''SSB4''.

==Update history==
Pit received a mix of buffs, nerfs and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed overall. Update 2.0.0 ensured that [[Lightning Chariot]] would launch [[crouch]]ing opponents akin to a standing opponent, a buff that was shared with [[Giga Bowser Punch]]. Although update 3.0.0 decreased [[Palutena Bow]]'s [[shield damage]] output as part of a near-universal nerf to projectiles, update 3.1.0 buffed up smash by making its hits connect together more reliably.

Update 4.0.0 improved Pit's frame data in a few ways. Down smash's front hit became slightly more reliable for KOing, courtesy of its sweetspot's knockback values being increased. Back aerial's lowered landing lag made its sweetspot safer and improved its sourspot's combo potential when [[SHFF]]'d. Down aerial's higher base knockback improved its edgeguarding potential. Lastly, neutral attack's first hit and up tilt both became slightly faster via minor lag decreases.

While update 7.0.0 enlarged Pit's shield as part of a near-universal buff, update 8.0.0 improved his moveset in a few noticeable ways. Down tilt launches at a higher angle and deals less knockback, both of which improve its combo potential to the point that it can be followed with aerials even up to high percentages. Up aerial became a much more useful juggling option, thanks to its lowered start-up and ending lag, higher launching angle, and its last hit's much higher knockback. Altogether, these changes also grant Pit new combos that were virtually impossible to perform before the update, such as down tilt into up aerial as a KO confirm. In addition, Pit's KO potential was improved slightly: up smash's final hit gained more knockback, while down smash's first hit had its angle lowered. Lastly, [[Guardian Orbitars]] have less ending lag, which makes them safer and less situational.

Overall, Pit fares better than he did at the launch of ''Ultimate'', thanks to his buffs alleviating his mediocre KO potential, improving his already respectable combo and edgeguarding potential, and slightly improving his defense.

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=3
|neutralinf=y
|neutralname=Forehand Slice ({{ja|フォアハンドスライス|Foahando Suraisu}}) / Backhand Slice ({{ja|バックハンドスライス|Bakkuhando Suraisu}}) / Upper Swing ({{ja|アッパースイング|Appā Suingu}}) / Cutter Rush ({{ja|カッターラッシュ|Kattā Rasshu}}) / Cutter Finish ({{ja|カッターフィニッシュ|Kattā Finisshu}})
|neutral1dmg=2%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=4%
|neutralinfdmg=0.5% (loop), 2% (last)
|neutraldesc=A reverse gripped downward slash, followed by a reverse gripped inward slash, then by an upward slash. When [[button mash]]ed, Pit will instead follow up the second slash with a flurry of slashes using both blades, which concludes with a lunging outward slash. In comparison to Pit's neutral infinite in ''SSB4'', his neutral infinite in ''Ultimate'' is a drastically more useful damage racking option, thanks to its much better hitbox consistency outweighing its slightly lower damage output.
|ftiltname=Cross Chop ({{ja|クロスチョップ|Kurosu Choppu}})
|ftiltdmg=7% (base), 10% (tip)
|ftiltdesc=Arcs his body forward to perform a scissoring slash with both blades. It has a sweetspot at the tip of the blades. It is decent for spacing and, when sweetspotted, possesses above-average power for a tilt attack; its sweetspot KOs middleweights at ≈150% from the center of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. Due to it hitting on frame 10, however, it is Pit's slowest tilt attack, and its base hitboxes KO significantly later due to their lower damage output. Overall, it is one of Pit's most situational attacks.
|utiltname=Anti-Air Kick ({{ja|アンチエアキック|Anchi Ea Kikku}})
|utiltdmg=4% (hit 1), 5% (hit 2)
|utiltdesc=A stretch kick followed by a high-level roundhouse kick. Unlike in ''SSB4'', where its short range and high ending lag made it nearly useless outside of dealing damage, its much more favorable ending lag and knockback in ''Ultimate'' allow it to set up juggles reliably, as well as combo into neutral aerial at low percentages and into up aerial at low to medium percentages. The animation is similiar to a part of his melee combo when he uses Claws in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.
|dtiltname=Leg Cutter ({{ja|レッグカッター|Reggu Kattā}})
|dtiltdmg=6%
|dtiltdesc=A kneeling outward slash. Its minimal startup and ending lag make it Pit's best grounded spacing option. In comparison to its appearance in ''SSB4'', it is a much more useful combo starter, thanks to its higher launching angle and lower ending lag. Follow-ups include dashing up smash at low percentages, as well as neutral, forward and up aerials at low to medium percentages. At high percentages, down tilt's up aerial combo can function as a KO confirm.
|dashname=Dash Slice ({{ja|ダッシュスライス|Dasshu Suraisu}})
|dashdmg=11%
|dashdesc=A spinning inward slash. Its fast startup, long range and respectable damage output make it excellent for punishing landings. Unlike in ''SSB4'', it can also function as a situational KO option (starting at ≈160%), thanks to its much higher knockback scaling. However, like other dash attacks, its moderate ending lag makes it punishable on shield.
|fsmashname=Dual Attack ({{ja|デュアルアタック|Duaru Atakku}})
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (hit 2)
|fsmashdesc=Performs a reverse gripped inward slash with a blade, then quickly reassembles the Palutena Bow in order to perform an outward slash with the {{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}}. Its first hit has low set knockback to connect reliably into its second hit. Due to it coming out on frame 10, it is also one of the fastest forward smashes in the game. The second hit can KO middleweights at ≈120% from the center of Final Destination. It resembles the melee combo in ''Kid Icarus Uprising'' while using a Bow.
|usmashname=Angel Spin ({{ja|エンジェルスピン|Enjeru Supin}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|3}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 2), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8}} (hit 3)
|usmashdesc=Jumps to perform a trio of upward arcing slashes. It hits on frame 6, making it one of the fastest smash attacks overall. It is also a useful anti-air attack due to its long vertical range and [[disjointed hitbox]]es. However, it conversely possesses short horizontal range, resulting in it hitting grounded opponents only if they are at point-blank range in front of Pit. Although update 3.1.0 improved the consistency of its linking hits, it is still possible (albeit rare) for the opponent to inadvertently escape the attack after its first hit.
|dsmashname=Low Attack Combination ({{ja|ローアタックコンビネーション|Rō Atakku Konbinēshon}})
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (tip)
|dsmashdesc=Performs a kneeling outward slash with a blade, followed by a squatting reverse gripped thrust behind himself with the other blade. Its sweetspot is located at the base of each blade. Like Pit's other smash attacks, it is among the fastest of its kind, thanks to it coming out on frame 5. While the first hit has higher base knockback and both hits have equal knockback scaling, the back hit's sweetspot KOs earlier thanks to its [[semi-spike]] angle.
|nairname=Spinning Cycle ({{ja|スピニングサイクル|Supiningu Saikuru}})
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|0.7}} (hits 1-7), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4.5}} (hit 8)
|nairdesc=While facing the screen, Pit twirls the Palutena Bow in front of himself to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It hits multiple times, with its last hit having high knockback scaling. Due to it coming out on frame 4, its startup is by far the fastest out of Pit's aerials. It also has long-lasting hitboxes and the ability to [[autocancel]] in a short hop quickly after the hitboxes cease, making it useful for approaching, [[edgeguarding]], and canceling out weak projectiles. It can also combo into a neutral attack when autocanceled from a fast fall. However, it has meager range, with small hitboxes that are placed very close to Pit's body and have poor coverage on the spinning bow; as a result, it is rather ineffective to use while Pit is in a disadvantaged state.
|fairname=Front Cycle ({{ja|フロントサイクル|Furonto Saikuru}})
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2.5}} (hits 1-2), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (hit 3)
|fairdesc=Lunges forward and twirls the Palutena Bow in order to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It's reminiscent of Pit's melee dash attack with a Bow in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. The last hit has high knockback scaling, KOing middleweights at ≈175% from the center of Final Destination, and at ≈130% at the edge, making it useful for edgeguarding at high percentages. Like neutral aerial, it also autocancels quickly in a short hop, but has comparatively longer horizontal range, so it is a safe approach option. However, it has the slowest startup of Pit's entire standard moveset (frame 11) and minimal vertical range. Its horizontal range is also rather unimpressive for a disjointed hitbox, with the first two hits not fully covering the Palutena Bow as it spins; this makes it ineffective to use while Pit is in a disadvantaged state.
|bairname=Air Stab ({{ja|エアスタッブ|Ea Sutabbu}})
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (tip), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (base)
|bairdesc=Splits the Palutena Bow in order to perform a double reverse gripped thrust. It has a sourspot at the base of Pit's blades that launches vertically with weak knockback, allowing it to combo into several grounded moves and aerials (including itself) at low to medium percentages on landing. Conversely, the blades' tips possess a sweetspot that launches horizontally with the highest knockback out of Pit's aerials, KOing at ≈135% from center stage, and making it one of Pit's most reliable KO options. However, the sweetspot can be difficult to land due to having lower priority than the sourspot, as well as the move having moderate startup (frame 10).
|uairname=Lightning Rotor ({{ja|ライトニングローター|Raitoningu Rōtā}})
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 1-4), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 5)
|uairdesc=Twirls the Palutena Bow overhead to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It hits multiple times, with its last hit launching vertically. Combined with the long duration of its hitboxes, this allows it to function as a reliable [[juggling]] tool. With proper timing and spacing, it can also hit characters on the ground upon landing and start combos, much like his back aerial's sweetspot. However, it has a long total duration, which makes it punishable if it is used high up from the ground and fails to hit. As of update 8.0.0, it is a reliable KO option, doing so against most characters at ≈120% in the air.
|dairname=Under-Arc Slash ({{ja|アンダースラッシュ|Andā Surasshu}}, ''Under Slash'')
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}}
|dairdesc=A downward arcing reverse gripped slash. It has a sweetspot on the first hit frame that is a meteor smash, while its fairly long range and ability to autocancel in a short hop allows it to function as an approach option. It also has the fastest total duration out of Pit's aerials, and its non-meteor hitboxes launch opponents vertically, allowing it to combo into other aerials from low to medium percentages. While its meteor smash is relatively weak, its startup is among the fastest (frame 10) and it has rather low ending lag.
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=Reaches out with his free hand.
|pummelname=Grab Kneebutt ({{ja|つかみニーバット|Tsukami Nībatto}})
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=A knee strike. An average pummel.
|fthrowname=Upper Swing ({{ja|アッパースイング|Appā Suingu}})
|fthrowdmg=6% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=An upward slash. It is Pit's most powerful throw, KOing middleweights at ≈130% while near the edge. In addition to its KO potential, it is decent at setting up edgeguards, and can even combo into dash attack at low percentages.
|bthrowname=Behind Throw ({{ja|ビハインドスルー|Bihaindo Surū}})
|bthrowdmg=8%
|bthrowdesc=Grabs the opponent by their head, spins around with them in tow, and then slams them onto the ground headfirst. Although it is best suited for setting up edgeguards, it can also combo into a dash attack at low percentages, or act as a set-up into Palutena Bow at medium to high percentages.
|uthrowname=Stand Shoot ({{ja|スタンドシュート|Sutando Shūto}})
|uthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=A handstand kick, similar to {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s up throw. It is Pit's most damaging throw, but its throw hitbox's average damage output, base knockback and knockback scaling make it unsuited for combos. While it can be used as a situational KO option, it essentially requires a platform in order to function as such. As a result, its primary utility is dealing damage and initiating aerial pressure by following up with either [[Palutena Bow]]'s arrows or up aerial.
|dthrowname=Bone Divide ({{ja|ボーンディバイド|Bōn Dibaido}})
|dthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Pins the opponent to the ground and then slashes their back. It is Pit's best combo starter, with follow-ups including dashing up smash at low percentages, neutral, forward, down and [[reverse aerial rush]]ed back aerials at low to medium percentages, and up aerial at low to high percentages.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Slashes on either side of himself while getting up.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Slashes in front of himself, then thrusts behind himself while getting up.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Spins the Palutena Bow behind himself and then in front of himself before getting up.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Performs a hook kick while climbing up.
|nsname=Palutena Bow
|nsdmg=3.27% (uncharged), 8.6% (fully charged)
|nsdesc=Shoots a whitish sky blue, ethereal arrow from his {{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}}. The arrow can be aimed left, right, or directly upward while charging, and the arrow itself can be curved in any direction while flying, which make it very useful for edgeguarding and [[gimp]]ing.
|ssname=Upperdash Arm
|ssdmg=11% (grounded), 9% (aerial), 1× (reflected projectiles)
|ssdesc=Wields the {{s|icaruspedia|Upperdash Arm}} to perform a dashing uppercut. The animation is very similiar to Pit's melee dash attack in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' when using an Arm. The grounded version's decent damage output and high base knockback enable it to KOs middleweights at ≈115%, turning it into one of Pit's strongest KO moves. Upperdash Arm also grants super [[armor]] during the dash, and [[reflect]]s projectiles at 50°. However, it is an overall laggy attack, especially if missed; the aerial version in particular has a total duration of 104 frames (≈1.73 seconds), leaving Pit susceptible to [[self-destruct]]ing if it is used below ground-level. The aerial version is also significantly weaker, to the point that it KOs ground-level middleweights beginning at slightly over 150%. Nevertheless, the aerial version can aid Pit's [[recovery]], as it is capable of [[Edge sweet spot|sweetspotting edges]] and can still allow him to get back to the stage if he has enough jumps left.
|usname=Power of Flight
|usdmg=—
|usdesc=Soars through the air by using the {{s|icaruspedia|Power of Flight}}. It covers a significant amount of distance, and the flight's direction can be angled in any way except downward, making it capable of being a purely vertical and nearly horizontal recovery option. It also grants [[intangibility]] on frames 9-19 when used on the ground, and on frames 15-19 when used in the air. Due to its high ending lag and lack of hitboxes, however, it leaves Pit more vulnerable than other recoveries, especially if he does not grab an edge.
|dsname=Guardian Orbitars
|dsdmg=1.5× (reflected projectiles)
|dsdesc=Wields the {{s|icaruspedia|Guardian Orbitars}} to create twin energy shields that protect his left and right sides. They reflect projectiles with 50% more power and 70% more speed than they originally had, and can block physical attacks. However, they have 15 HP for physical attacks, with 0.07 HP regenerated every frame (4.2 HP per second), and break if it is fully depleted, after which they require 10 seconds to regenerate. Guardian Orbitars also push away opponents who are near Pit when he wields them, which makes them capable of edgeguarding. In the air, Pit can drift while using them, even if they are broken. Guardian Orbitars have a minimum duration of 20 frames (0.33 seconds) and a maximum duration of 100 frames (1.66 seconds). However, they leave Pit open to attacks from above and below him, and they gradually shrink in size as they are held out.
|fsname=Lightning Chariot
|fsdmg=40%
|fsdesc=Calls for the {{s|icaruspedia|Lightning Chariot}}, then jumps aboard it and flies off-screen. Afterwards, Pit says "Phos! Lux! Let's go!" and a player-controlled reticle will then appear on-screen. If the attack button is pressed, Pit will then command Phos and Lux to ram the Lightning Chariot into any opponents, which deals very high damage and knockback. Overall, the move functions very similarly to the [[Dragoon]].}}

===[[Taunt]]s===
*'''Up taunt''': Separates the Palutena Bow and crouches down, then twirls its blades before standing up, crossing them over his head and saying "Come on!" ({{ja|勝負だ！|Shōbu da!}}, ''Let's battle!'').
*'''Side taunt''': Separates the Palutena Bow and then flourishes its blades before striking a pose while saying "That all you got?" ({{ja|まだまだ！|Mada mada!}}, ''Not just yet!'') It is similar to Pit's animation during the end of {{b|Skyworld|SSE}}'s first cutscene in [[The Subspace Emissary]].
*'''Down taunt''': Spreads out his arms and wings, during which a few feathers are loosed from his wings. This is the only taunt that does not split his Bow into blades if it was in bow form beforehand.
*'''[[Smash Taunt]]''': Activates [[Palutena's Guidance]]. Kneels down before contacting [[Palutena]], [[Viridi]], [[Dark Pit]] (when fighting against him, {{SSBU|Wolf}} or the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}) and even [[Alucard]] (when fighting against {{SSBU|Richter}}). Pit then receives information on one of his opponents; this applies to every character in the game, including himself, and additional conversations for the [[Koopalings]] and the male {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}. Aside from {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, all [[downloadable content (SSBU)|downloadable]] characters share a generic "placeholder" conversation. Palutena's Guidance can only be used on [[Palutena's Temple]], and is performed by rapidly pressing the button which activates Pit's down [[taunt]]. Pit will hold a pose for a few seconds prior to the conversation starting. Paluena's Guidance can only be done once per match, and if Pit gets hit while holding his pose before the conversation starts, it will be canceled. If Pit is KOed, the conversation will end. Lastly, if there is more than one opponent on-screen when the conversation begins, one of the opponents will be randomly chosen to be discussed.

*'''Up:''' Pit jumps up with his fist raised. After landing, he briefly faces away from the screen, and turns back around. He then strikes the V sign and says "Victory!" ("{{ja|ピース！|Pīsu!}}", ''Peace!''). Based on the ending of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.
*'''Right:''' Spins his bow in his right hand, then stops with the bow held out in front of him (similar to his ''Brawl'' pose) and says "That was easy!" or "What's up now?!"  ("{{ja|楽勝楽勝|Rakushō rakushō!}}", ''Easy peasy!'' or "{{ja|任務完了!|Ninmu kanryō!}}", ''Mission complete!'').

==In [[competitive play]]==
{{Pit and Dark Pit in competitive play (SSBU)}}

=={{SSBU|Classic Mode}}: Fighting for the Goddess!==
[[File:SSBU Congratulations Pit.png|thumb|Pit's congratulations screen.]]
Pit's opponents reference various enemies that he faces in ''{{iw|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. Additionally, the order of the stages is a reference to Pit's journey in the [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (game)|original ''Kid Icarus'']], in which he has to escape the {{iw|icaruspedia|Underworld}} and traverse the {{iw|icaruspedia|Overworld}} in order to return to {{iw|icaruspedia|Skyworld}}. This theme is further reinforced by each Round playing a song from the {{uv|Kid Icarus}} series (regardless of what universe the stage originates from). While playing solo, [[Dark Pit]] also appears as a CPU ally in Round 6 and the Final Round, in reference to his and Pit's sporadic alliances in ''Uprising''.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-28Pit.jpg|thumb|Finding Pit in World of Light|left]]
Pit was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of [[Master Hand]]s.

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 on the cliffside when [[Galeem]] unleashed his beams of light. He was flying alongside {{SSBU|Dark Pit}} to escape the beams, but after {{SSBU|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 {{SSBU|Kirby}}.

He appears in the [[Temple of Light]] sub-area at the very end. Defeating him allows access to a bridge that was previously blocked by being engulfed in light, making him one of the few characters who must be unlocked to complete the mode.

He is later seen alongside several other fighters as they make their final stand against Galeem and [[Dharkon]].

==[[Spirit]]s==
Pit's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Pit has been unlocked. Unlocking Pit in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with his artwork in ''Ultimate''.

Additionally, Pit makes an appearance in a few primary spirits.

== Trivia ==
*Pit's pose in his official artwork is very similar to Dark Pit’s battle stance before they battle near the end of Chapter 5 in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. It also resembles the finishing pose of Pit’s side taunt. 
*When Pit is [[star KO]]'d, he shouts, "I never learned how to read!" referencing a line of dialogue he uses in Chapter 17 of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. This makes Pit the first character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to speak a full sentence during a star KO, and would be followed by {{SSBU|Byleth}} and {{SSBU|Min Min}}.
**He and Byleth are the only characters to receive a language exclusive KO scream in the game; in the Japanese version, Pit reuses his star KO voice clip from ''SSB4'', while Byleth merely screams like the rest of the case. Min Min, meanwhile, speaks Chinese in all regions.
*Pit is one of four characters that has appeared in all games with [[Final Smash]]es to have a different Final Smash in all of them; the other three are [[Zero Suit Samus]], [[King Dedede]], and [[R.O.B.]]
*Pit is the only fighter who was introduced in ''Brawl'' to have an [[Echo Fighter]], that being {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}.
*Pit can be unlocked by clearing Classic Mode as Samus, which likely references the original ''Metroid'' and ''Kid Icarus'' NES games running on the same engine, and both being produced by Nintendo designer Gunpei Yokoi.
**Coincidentally, both characters each have dark doppelgangers playable in ''Ultimate''.
*Not counting {{SSBU|Samus}}, who is a starter, Pit is the only unlockable character with an Echo Fighter who is always unlocked or encountered before his Echo Fighter, no matter which combination of unlocking methods is used.
**In World of Light, out of all unlockable characters with Echo Fighters, Pit and {{SSBU|Simon}} must be encountered before entering [[The Dark Realm]], namely that both must be defeated in the [[Temple of Light]]; thus, it is possible to encounter {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}} and {{SSBU|Ken}} before their respective base characters. Although, if the player unlocks {{SSBU|Young Link}} through VS. Matches or {{SSBU|Snake}} in World of Light, then completes their {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}, it will go to the next fighter in {{SSBU|Link}}'s unlock tree, thus Simon can be challenged after {{SSBU|Richter}}. This could not be done with Pit and Dark Pit, as all of the characters in Samus' unlock tree that are between Pit and Dark Pit are all encountered after Pit in World of Light. However, he can be unlocked first if the player loses to Pit, then does not unlock Dark Pit via [[Challenger's Approach]].
*Pausing and zooming the camera around Pit's ears reveals a gap between the top part of his ear and his hair, which is more visible when looking at his left ear. This is shared with Dark Pit.
