Can't beat Pit...

[Charlatan]

I've tried a bunch. But, i cant seem to get past his ground blocking game. I main pit a bit, but i cant seem to beat my friends Pit anymore. I've tried with Marth a bunch of times, but the results are so close and i cant keep up for long. He keeps pulling out in the end. Is there anyone you guys have trouble with especially? Yeah i looked at the match up thread, but i want to ask again which characters do you guys have trouble against the most. I just cant seem to beat Pit anymore I think he's definetly going to end up in high tier. Anyways im open to learning new characters.

Well pushing passed this wall you've hit would be my first suggestion. However I understand how things can get. All-in-all G&W is really annoying for Pit. And Metaknight is extremely annoying. v_v I won't get into details as I'm sure you can figure out why these are the way they are.

As for me, i have a serious weakness to super smashy wolf players or to a really good snake. Just because any sort of mess up by pit will put him in a world of hurt against snake. Not to mention snake can kill pit at 100%ish with his tilt attacks.

 

[Ryanarius]

metaknight is super annoying. Snake is also really annoying although just because it forces the pit to play really defensive its a somewhat even matchup (which is rare for snake) assuming the pit is playing really defensively.

I have NEVER managed to beat a Meta Knight as pit. NEVER.

I lost to a metaknight in the first tournament i attended (5 days after the game was released by a meta who got japans release), after that I've not lost a match to meta. Guess it depends on style of play. I have trouble w/ snake and a good marth personally. But other than that, not much.

A very good MK is just brutal. His small size annoyingly makes a big difference versus the arrow game. Pit's mind games are hurt by MKs high priority and ridiculous chaining attacks. At the most recent tournament I went to, the Pits (me included) beat a lot of the eventual highest bracket people, but the Pits lost sadly to the high level G&Ws and MKs.

Theorycraft is great with Pit, until you play the players at the top of the metagame with MK and G&W.

I'll use this emoticon to represent many top Pits in the presence of top MKs and G&Ws:

T_T

MK is ok if you have pratice with him. Light, so easy to kill. What i hate the most right now is snake. None of my friends uses him. I hate the continous up smashes next to edge. No idea how to play against him.

 

[sagemoon]

I still dont have very much trouble w/ the "good metaknight player" I've beaten eggz in friendlies (just recently lost a tournament set 2-3 though) , and jeremy (hes from skypal and took 3rd at the first tournament. Jeremy also played GW on me the 2nd round and i found that a match in favor of pit. Jeremy and sastopher took 1st in doubles w/ dual GW just pointing that out as well.

Point is I think MK is an even matchup.

Played Sastopher recently in a tournament... His GW is crazy good and i lost 0-3 so idk, rematch next week lol.

MK has a natural advantage over pit. I think it might just be the fact that you are better. His air attacks owns pit imo. I usually play super defensive and super annoying against a really good MK ( I do not mean arrows, over B, run).

 

[sagemoon]

Really? I play aggressive against MK

 

[ChokE]

everytime i play aggressive, I find myself fly off because of a Up B or get stuck in the tornado.

 

[sagemoon]

Tornado is weak on the upper half to arrows. Plus you can always f-tilt. Up-b... You're gonna have to watch out for that.

 

[xarchangelzerox]

The biggest problems I've had are G&W, MK, and Wolf. Wolf and G&W were played by a very aggressive friend of mine, but MK is another friend's only way to beat me. I toss him with almost every other character, but MK seems like such a natural counter with his air priority. This particular MK is very fast at grabbing, too.

 

[ChokE]

Tornado is weak on the upper half to arrows.

So you can hit him out of it with an arrow? I never knew that.

 

[Undrdog]

Yeah, the widest area of the whonado has lower wind speeds and therefore has less priority. Arrows can stop it completely.

EDIT: Oh and it not only stops it, but cancels it. Thus it kills his recovery. ^_^

 

[Eggz]

i beat sagemoon in the only tournament set we played, but it was close and could have gone either way.

its even-ish, probably in MK's favor

 

[sagemoon]

I still wouldnt say its in MKs favor, like you said its prolly even. You're just a better player than me.

 

[Raynesypher]

much respect given to sage and eggz for not bashing eachother like other people do their competition.... i main pit and my friend mains MK so i have good strats when it comes to MK but i've never played against a serious G&W... friends keep telling me to enter tourney's with my pit but i work mainly on the weekends :*(

 

[Ryanarius]

first time you play metaknight its a pain but after you get use to his moveset I think the match evens out maybe slight metaknight favor but beatable.
