Pit is contrary a very defensive character. He has access to two reflectors – one doubles as a regular A Spam and is a directed spamming projectile that can rack up some serious damage, and the other is possibly the best aerial mobility with a jump distance comparable to 11 jumps (including Wings of Icarus). He can attack like Meta Knight and his D-air is a brilliant move for disrupting up smashes if it is timed correctly. Also, his regular A attack, if chained, can trap opponents. His big disadvantage is found in one of his greatest strengths: the fact that he cannot recover after being hit in the midst of Wings of Icarus and occasional problems with KOing.

Tips
- Be careful while using Pit's Up-B, if you are hit while it is active, you cannot use any other jumps and will fall until you hit the ground, or die.
- His Forward-B can be used as a great edgeguard and deflecting attacks.
- Remember that none of Pit's special attacks have terrific knockback, so use his Dash-A, Forward-Tilt-A, and Forward-Smash to finish opponents.
- His mirror shield can deflect absolutely any ranged attack including Mario's Fireball attacks. (also, it can block a wide range of melee attacks, anything that doesn't go past the shield's "hit box", like something that has a wider range than pit himself.)
- Despite having swords and a bow, Pit is not Link; you must remember that his aerial finishers are somewhat weak, but his Aerial-Back-A is a quick, powerful move that should not be overlooked.
- Pit most important of all, is deadly in the air, so facing him in the air no matter how good you are is extremely risky.
Final Smash
Palutena's Army: Palutena (the Goddess of Light) appears and sends many Centurions from the sky to charge down at the competitors. (The Centurions can be dodged though.) Although some of them can be hit to be defeated, they attack frequently so being hit can be lethal. Something worth mentioning is that Pit is invulnerable while starting the final smash but once the Centurions are out he is not invulnerable, unlike most other characters who are during their entire smash.
Match Ups
Marth
- This should be very easy just be very quick and facing Marth will be a breeze
Ike
Fighting Ike will be a tough one. His standard attacks are strong. Evade his Final Smash because it will KO anything above 50%.
Link
Link is tough as Ike. Watch out for his final smash. It's lethal up-close and will KO Pit in one move. Always shoot arrows with the 1 button on the Wii Remote and don't stop firing arrows until his health is at least 125 and then do your smash attack.
Lucario
This Pokémon is a fair matchup for Pit. If lucario does use his final smash to try and kill you, just fly over his reach or even over him to the other side since the beam is slow moving. If he uses his basic Aura Spheres use Down B to deflect it or dodge it, but if he's up close Smash attack him. Also when fighting lucario be evasive by flying and land far from him then do a quick attack and fly again, once his damage is high smash him off the stage.Be wary of his Force Palm once his damage is high because he can shoot an Aura Sphere and KO you. However, if you deflect it , be careful not to let him dodge the attack and get close to you so he can use force palm. He can use up to three force palms in sucession and due to his high damage %. he still might be able to KO you.
Sheik
Sheik has a great range compared to some other brawlers so flying wont be enough, but a key item fighting sheik is angling the arrows onto sheik and using the shield. Sheiks final smash is easy to dodge as long as you have distance which one jump will dodge it.
Kirby
Kirby shouldnt be hard as a cpu but human controlled can be harder. Even though it will be rare to encounter a good player with kirby but you will. Pit is the best flyer and kirby will have to fly too. Most of Kirby's special attacks will be useless leaving him to smash attacks but you can still use ring of angles which is a great advantage. WARNING!!! try to stay in the middle because you are using up your recovery attack leaving you an easy target to fall off. also after attacking you will have to fly again.
Meta Knight
Purely you need skill he has all the tactics that pit has. Make use of your arrows since meta knight has no long range attacks pierce him with arrows and the slice him to get him ack again youll always win because pit is a lot faster.
