'''Pit''' ({{ja|ピット|Pitto}}, ''Pit'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

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. | 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.

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''. | Finally, and apart from the reduced landing lag, Pit largely benefits from many of the universal changes to ''Ultimate''.

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 | However, Pit has received a few, though minor, nerfs.

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''. | ||
