Pit is the captain of Palutena's royal guard. Despite the wings on his back, Pit needs the Power of Flight from Palutena in order to truly fly. In Smash Bros., he can still get more air than most, with four jumps and a special move that boosts him higher. He has a new reflect move—it protects both sides!

Recovery

Guide Image
Guide Image

Pit can jump four times but the third and fourth jumps have less jump height. This can be used to break your fall or cover additional horizontal distance. Power of Flight is Pit's main vertical recovery move that has great height reach. You can even control the direction diagonally. This leaves him in a fall state but you can still control where he'll drop. Upperdash Arm is a good offensive move and can be used as a reliable horizontal recovery tool as well.

Gameplay

Pit is an overall average character. Most of his attacks take advantage of his dual blades so he has a bit of reach advantage compared to characters not wielding any weapons. His Smash attacks have good reach and power. His Palutena's Bow is a good ranged harassment move, which you can increase the power further by charging it. Uppderdash Arm is a solid, ranged move that can deal considerable damage to the opponent and send him flying. This move also deflects projectiles and prevents Pit from flinching while in the middle of the action. Guardian Orbitars give Pit a reliable defense as it can protect him from attacks for a few moments and deflect projectiles as well. This can be done on both land or air. You can press and hold the button to keep the shields up longer. However, they do take damage and can be broken. Once broken, it will take a while before the get restored. His aerial attacks have good range as well and can usually deal multi-hit damage to opponents.
