Pit (ピット, Pit) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018. Antony Del Rio once again reprises his role as Pit in the English version of the game.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Pit's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing and wings now feature simple detailing, while his eyes and hair appear more detailed.
• Like many other characters, Pit is more expressive.
• The look of Pit's Upperdash Arm has been altered. The blue orb in the center has more detail, making it more closely resemble its appearance in Uprising.
• Pit's idle animation has been slightly altered.
• Pit's side taunt has been shortened. He now swings his bow three times instead of four.
• The wing particle effects from Pit's down taunt are more pronounced.
• Pit's Star KO now has him shout, "I never learned how to read!" which is a line from Uprising.
• Pit's "victory sign" animation has changed. He now does a celebratory jump before showing the hand sign.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Pit's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

• Neutral infinite's animation has changed. Pit's bow no longer spins while fully formed, he now quickly slashes with the bow split in two.
• His up tilt has been changed to two lunging upward kicks removing the flip
• Neutral infinite connects better into the final hit, improving the move's utility.
• Dash attack's animation has been altered to a downward swipe of his blade. It is quicker and covers more area in front of Pit. It also deals significantly higher knockback.
• Forward smash second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.

Aerial attacks

• All aerial moves have reduced landing lag.
• Neutral aerial has a slightly longer duration.
• Forward and up aerial have increased knockback.
• Back air sourspot seems to be removed.
• Down air hitbox is bigger.

Special Moves

• Palutena Bow travels faster and has decreased endlag.
• Upperdash Arm has less endlag when falling off the ledge.
• Upperdash Arm has slightly less knockback and does less damage.
• Power of Flight can now grab the ledge when facing backwards.
• Power of Flight halts at the end of the move, reducing its recovery potential.
  • Pit will float for a little bit after the move, but that means he will be more vulnerable to attacks.
• Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.
• Guardian Orbitars will shrink when attacked.
• Pit's Final Smash has changed once again, now being the Lightning Chariot from Uprising, which functions similarly to the Dragoon, though coming from behind rather than in front.

Trivia

• Pit's pose in his official artwork resembles his 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 Super Smash Bros. to speak a full sentence during a Star KO.
