That would be a little too crazy, Pit may have spamming Arrows but it can be blocked so it's not broken but it's over used. A chreacter that can't be beat in almost any terms should be banned. Anyways what stage your friend said?

lol because apparently if you can shoot blue arrows and have wings that can shine you just have to be broken. whereas if you can knee someone in the face to death apparently you must just have super strength.

It would seem even tournament hosts can be johners. It's a real shame.

If it's in the game, it's allowed. The brilliant minds that put together the game know enough about balance to put in surface-level techniques that are unbeatable. If you can show me valid proof that Pit and [other character] are absolutely unbeatable, then I will agree, but until then this is a gigantic load of crap.

Pit shouldnt be banned from any tournament by all means. He doesnt even have much KO strength. Look at the 2 broken chars, then look at the angel. Ban snake and MK by all means, but not the angel.
They probably would ban him because They're not ready yet!
I think your friend is lying because he gets pwned by Pit so much.

Pit wont ever get banned from tournies, the only person that there has been real talk about banning is MK, if he gets banned then you can start asking about others, but if anyone gets banned it'll be him first.

Any character being banned is just dumb. However, they should ban Pit's taunts/victory poses...they're really cheesy *please don't hurt me >.<*

I think banning Snake and Meta Knight would be a good idea so that there would be a possibility of having other characters in tournaments. I think I made an accurate assessment back in that joke thread, Let's Try to Guess Sakurai's Logic With Balancing Characters.

Dryn said:
Hideo Kojima: "Please, Sakurai? Will you please put Snake in Brawl?"
Masahiro Sakurai: "Oh, all right. Just this once, though."
HK: "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't thank you enough!"
MS: *sigh*

-Later that night-

MS: "Well, there we go. Snake is complete. Now it's time for bed."

-The next morning-

HK: "Hey, Sakurai! Hey, thanks again. I owe you one."
MS: "Whatever."
HK: "So, can I see Snake?"
MS: "Yeah, sure."
HK: "I like how you made his dash attack like that of the game. Now, if only he fired out a grenade when you pressed up and A."
MS: "All right. Are you finished?"
HK: "Yeah. Thanks again."

-Sakurai shows Kojima Snake and all that stuff-

HK: "Come on, Sakurai! Please, won't you amp up Snake? Just this once, for old-times sake?"
MS: "I suppose." *amps up those tilts*

-March 9, 2008-

Gamer 1: "Awesome. Now I get to play as Snake."
Gamer 2: "What's he like?"
Gamer 1: "He's slow and heavy. I don't like him."
Gamer 2: "Can I try?"
Gamer 1: "If you want."
Gamer 2: *plays Brawl and discovers Snakedashing* "Whoa! Check this out!"
Gamer 1: "Ah, that's awesome! Snake is so cool! Let me try him out!"

-In Tournament Settings-

Gamer 3: "Who is your main?"
Gamer 4: "Snake."
Gamer 3: "Really? No way! He's mine, too!"
Gamer 250: "You main Snake as well?"
Gamer 122: "I heard someone say Snake. Do you know how to use his Snakedash?"
Gamer 250: "Oh do I!"
Gamer 56: "I main Pikachu."
Gamer 3, 4, 122, and 250: *stare*

if Pit gets banned at a tourney, then its not worth going and it tells you the TO's dont know what they are doing

Pit isn't banned. If he was banned, you might as well ban half of the characters in brawl. If anyone will be banned its MK, and he shouldn't even be banned.
