 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 a slight improvement over their 32nd out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''.
-Pit possesses an above average frame data in his attacks, as his normal moveset has only one move that comes out after frame 10, which is his frame 11 forward aerial, and his set of smash attacks is very fast. He also has a solid projectile in [[Palutena Bow]], which fires quick arrows that can be curved to various angles, he has disjointed range in his attacks with his bow, which splits into two blades for some of his attacks, and all his aerials can [[autocancel]] in a short hop, giving him a good [[neutral game]]. Pit also has two [[reflector|reflectors]] in [[Guardian Orbitars]] and [[Upperdash Arm]], and his three double jumps and fast [[meteor smash]] in his down aerial give him a solid edgeguarding game. Lastly, his multiple mid-air jumps and [[Power of Flight]] give him a long-distanced recovery.
-However, Pit has a poor disadvantage state. He's quite floaty, has low air speed, and his aerials, while versatile and decently powerful when he is advantaged or in the neutral game, lose a lot of their utility when he's in disadvantage: all his aerials except for neutral aerial come out after frame 9 and both his neutral and forward aerial suffer from poor range and glaring blindspots, as their looping hits fail to fully cover the Palutena Bow, making him vulnerable to pressure and juggles due to the poor coverage from his aerial attacks. While his down aerial is fast, he can't always rely on it to get out of danger, and his projectile requires time and a lot of skill to use at its best. Pit's recovery, while reaching long distances, is vulnerable to edgeguards, as Power of Flight can be angled but lacks a hitbox to protect him, and while Upperdash Arm can extend his recovery, it suffers from extreme ending lag if it doesn't hit anyone. He can adapt to various situations, but his combo game, range, camping ability and KO potential are outclassed by some other characters. Pit especially suffers from inconsistent KO potential, as his smash attacks have a lot of ending lag and are unsafe on shield, while his forward tilt and back aerials require him to hit with the sweetspot at the tip of the blades and his other attacks require high percents or edgeguarding to KO, and his set-ups are limited, which can make it difficult for him to finish off his opponents.
-Overall, Pit is a character with a lot of good strengths and not too many weaknesses. He is an all-arounder that can get the job done in any scenario. Both Pit and his echo {{Dark Pit}} have seen some representation, with most notably {{Sm|Zackray}}, who have taken both characters to their best results at majors and supermajors in the post-pandemic era.

-*Pit's pose in his official artwork resembles his side taunt.
+*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!" This is a reference to a line of dialogue he uses in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. This makes Pit the first character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to speak a full sentence during a star KO. The second is {{SSBU|Byleth}} and the third is {{SSBU|Min Min}}.
+*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}}.
-**However, this is exclusive to the English version of the game; in the Japanese version, he reuses his star KO voice clip from ''SSB4''. On a related note, this also applies to Byleth.
+**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 may be a reference to the original ''Metroid'' and ''Kid Icarus'' NES games running on the same engine, and both being produced by Nintendo designer Gunpei Yokoi.
+*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.
