Here's a Guide how to play Pit, Palutena's Angelic Warrior! This guide assumes you know most of the basic mechanics of Smash 4, but will help you out from time to time in case you don't know everything. Feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand something I've stated, and give feedback...

Sup Pit mains/secondaries/pockets/etc. I've been throwing my guide around for a while now, so I've figured I might as well go ahead and post it here, so it can get as much exposure as possible, while potentially teaching people as much about Pit as possible...

Pit's approach options are actually a bit sketchy imo. SH Fair is pretty good vs taller characters and SH Aerial approaches in general. SH Nair is pretty decent for stopping some grounded approaches, but it's smaller range makes it so that it's easily stuffed but longer ranged moves (the...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Va9GvzFaCZnF4xtyGPScFFJ9gEGaTO-xZDELbBJLe7Y/edit# I've listed a good amount of potential true combos on my Pit Guide (of course, see the True Combo section). People underestimate Fthrow at lower percents. It's actually a pretty viable combo throw before 20%...

http://www.twitch.tv/shi_gaming/v/17042963?t=37m38s Nairo vs Earth in Pit dittos that happened about a week ago. Haven't watched it yet, but better take notes.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Va9GvzFaCZnF4xtyGPScFFJ9gEGaTO-xZDELbBJLe7Y/edit# Here's a lot of combos, strings, and setups that've I found in my spare time listed in the appropriate sections. One of my personal favorite combos at low percents against floaties is Fthrow > Fair > USmash...

That's an interesting way to look at it. I like it. When I lose to people playing as Pit, I don't feel like I lost because of a horrible MU, I feel like I lost because the player picked better options than I did. I have trouble at some times, but there's never a situation where I say, "I can't...

Pit will focus on zoning Mario out, since Mario is a combo fiend. Mario's fireball is far superior to Pit's Arrows though, so feel free to dart in and out while throwing fireballs to force Pit to approach or do something that's otherwise punishable. Pit is a Punish character, so he'll be...

I agree on Nair being unsafe. It doesn't have as much range as the animation would have you think, and there are plenty of times when I've just been hit through the move. SH Nair is pretty good at option coverage at the ledge, and covering spotdodges out of a dash. Dair is a pretty decent...

http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp2/v/6653671?t=1h40m40s Until it gets uploaded to Youtube in a couple of weeks, here's the VOD link to my set against GimR at CEO about a day ago. After rewatching this, I didn't do nearly as bad as I thought I did at the time. It seems like it was mostly a case...

All of his aerials autocancel, but you can't Fastfall them, minus maybe Nair, Fair, and Bair to an extent. I agree on arrows and orbitars being less laggy. Same w/ SideB maybe, as well as having more consistent armor.

Honestly, the Grabs feel about even to me, just from playing both characters for a while. Don't have any actual data on it though. Roy's speed seems to just make grabbing with him a better option than with Marth.

http://www.twitch.tv/mvg_league/v/6112650?t=1h19m55s (Pit vs Dark Pit) Mirror Match, can't really say much here. Other than Electroshock can only kill on the ledge and Ftilt can't kill until 160ish. http://www.twitch.tv/mvg_league/v/6112650?t=2h35m34s (Pit vs Diddy) I really have a problem...

I typically Uthrow once Dthrow send them really far away to the point that even airdodge reads can't be reliably punished. Even if you're not in range to followup, your opponent should be conditioned to automatically react when they see you Dthrow and Jump towards them, either with a jump or an...
