Kid Icarus (universe): Difference between revisions

*[[Image:PitBrawlSmall.jpg|right]]'''[[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]]''': A young angel knight who serves the goddess Palutena and saves the kingdom of Angel Land from the evil of the Underworld goddess Medusa. The name "Kid Icarus" refers not to Pit as an alternative name, but more as what kind of entity Pit is. The Greek myth of Icarus is centered around a man possessing wings; since Pit has wings, he can be considered a "kid Icarus" of sorts. For his appearance in Brawl as a fighter, Pit has undergone a major character redesign, and he uses the Sacred Bow of Palutena in combat. The bow demonstrates the previously unseen ability to split in half and be used as a pair of swords for close-quarters combat, and Pit can jump multiple times in the air like [[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]]. Pit has also been more recently shown performing two of his special moves. His B move is the [[Palutena Arrow]], which Pit uses in exactly the same style as [[Link]] from SSBM, but the shot arrow travels much faster, and its trajectory can be controlled to curve upwards or downwards by pressing a direction right after releasing the arrow. His up-B move, titled [[Wings of Icarus]], is a third jump where Pit performs a slight mid-air jump like [[Kirby]] and [[Jigglypuff]] while his wings glow blue. More specifics about this move have not been revealed.
