Caping or attacking arrows can deal with them reliably. N-air I think outprioritizes arrows, so if you are really close to Pit, throw one out and if he tries to Arrow, he'll take a hit.

D-air outprioritizes it as well. Also, if you have good Perfect Shielding use it as an approach to close the gap between you and pit

Keep in mind that your Fsmash and cape outrange practically everything in Pit's arsenal.

just keep caping them,he'll learn his lesson,also try diffrent approaches i.e.
run to him and jump when he shoots the arrow
second jump his next arrow
cape the third and by then you should be right in his face ;)
a good spamming pit knnow to use the arrow they will to prevent you jumping and reflecting it

Mario should have little trouble with anyone who spams. You should stay as close to pit as possible anyway.

If a spammer Pit is wise they will curve the arrow dow as soon you're gonna reflect it so don't count on that the best way to approach a spamming is to powershield every arrow while dashing don't reflect the arrow at one side of FD thought if Pit can reflect it back with Mirror Shield the arrow will have 3x is original power

So? We can reflect it back just as quickly. We increase power with each reflect as well.

Cape > Pit's reflectors.

Playing Brawl until I have a seizure,nah im kiddin
uh he sounds like a n00b
when you getting to him do a fireball aproach(short hop>fireball>land infront of him>Dsmash or whatever)
just dont rush in blindly think of what your gonna do when you get their
oh and if you can pick a stage pick battlefield the plateforms should mess up his retreats and the stage is pretty small to begin with
mario can get to one side and back in like 8 sec.

Cape, "power walk", duck, roll into spotdodges, or jump to higher ground if there are platforms. If possible, avoid final destination when fighting Pit or you're in for a long annoying fight if he's good at projectile zoning.
