This is a trait that Pit inherits via the Wings of Icarus, with said wings allowing him to fly as a recovery move. His power of flight is one of many aspects that make Pit a formidable opponent. | ||
Aside from wings, Pit also [[Palutena's Arrow|has]] [[Mirror Shield|weapons]] granted to him by [[Palutena]]. One of them is a bow that contains magical arrows which allow Pit to not only shoot, but also control the direction that they travel, which serves as a perfect out-of-range attack. The other is a shield that allows him to reflect projectiles with full power, and reflect enemies to the other direction. | Aside from wings, Pit also [[Palutena's Arrow|has]] [[Mirror Shield|weapons]] granted to him by [[Palutena]].

Pit was significantly buffed from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M'', as the faster paced physics combined with his versatile mobility now give him much more options to combo, though he was slightly nerfed in his defensive game, having weaker projectiles and a shortened [[recovery]]. These buffs initially made him one of the best characters in ''Project M'', which was most prominent when {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} began to dominate with him in the 3.0 era. As a response to these results, Pit was heavily nerfed in 3.5, with all of his combo starters and extenders becoming laggier, weaker, or gaining more knockback at combo percents. While he still remains buffed from ''Brawl'', he is now considered a mediocre character in the current metagame due to other characters now far surpassing him in strength. | Pit was significantly buffed from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M'', as the faster paced physics combined with his versatile mobility now give him much more options to combo, though he was slightly nerfed in his defensive game, having weaker projectiles and a shortened [[recovery]].

===Project+=== | |||
Pit received new recolors based on characters in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising.'' | |||
* Orange: Referred to as "Fruit Pit" in the credits. | |||
* Dark Green: Inspired by [[Viridi]]. | |||
* Violet: Loosely inspired by the Eggplant Wizard. | |||
* Brown: Inspired by the [[Centurion]] army. | |||
In ''Project+ 2.3'', his classic costume was significantly revamped with better physical features and accessories, including a new bow and blades. It has been given new recolors for team battles, with the "dark" costume removed. | |||
* Red (NES): | |||
* Green (NES): Based on Pit's appearance on the original ''Kid Icarus'' when having an Arrow Strength of 2. Also loosely based on Palutena's color palette. | |||
* Blue (NES): | |||
* Yellow (NES): Gives Pit a more accurate portrayal of his appearance in the ''Captain N: The Game Master'' series. | |||
[[File:Pit Palette (P+).png|800px|thumb|center|Pit's alternate costumes in P+]] | |||
'''Z-Secret Costume (Eggplant Pit)''': Inspired by the effects of the Eggplant Wizard, which turn Pit into an eggplant if it touches him. It is a variant of the Classic Pit costume, with a purple color scheme and his head humorously replaced with an eggplant. | |||
'''R-Secret Costume ([[Three Sacred Treasures]]):''' Pit dons the three sacred treasures that are used to defeat Medusa and Hades throughout the ''Kid Icarus'' series. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Many | *Many elements of Pit's appearance in ''Project M'' and ''Project+'' are inspired by ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', the original ''Kid Icarus'', and the [[wikipedia:Icarus|myth]] that the games draw inspiration from. Icarus was a man whose makeshift wings were melted by the sun before he plummeted into the sea: | ||
**The Wings of Icarus | **The Wings of Icarus burn as Pit loses gliding momentum, which is a side effect of using the [[Power of Flight]] in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Similarly, the wings also glow purple when wearing the dark costumes, which is based on the effect of Dark Pit's wings after he absorbed the spirit of {{s|icaruspedia|Pandora}} and could fly indefinitely without trouble. | ||
**Pit's alternate costumes reference ''Kid Icarus'' lore as a whole. The NES costumes also have different facial expressions, with Pit always smiling (reflecting Pit's silly yet kind-hearted nature) and the dark costume (prior to ''Project+'' Version 2.3) always frowning (reflecting Dark Pit's more aggressive, stoic and serious nature). | |||
