Pit: Final Smash

[Master_Yang]

It's got to be Palutena in both shots...they just look way too similar, and it makes too much sense, for it to be anyone else.

As far as the Final Smash goes...I like it. Considering the annoyance an Unown swarm can cause, I would imagine these things would juggle similarly, but hit a lot harder, or are more numerous. Add to that Pit's seeming to be able to move during it, the fact that his character seems very aerial focused, and the fact that aerial combat will be a bigger part of Brawl....*evil grin* It may not be as flashy as some, but it's definitely KI and I like it a lot.

 

[The Franchise]

You can tell that it's Palutena by the hemline of the dress in both shots. It's exactly the same. In terms of the attack, it looks like it suits Pit well as a character. It's just kinda hard to figure out without actually seeing the attack how strong or effective it'll be.

hey, I never saw that before! I really think you're onto something here, Im convinced now that its platuna in that pic.

 

[XenoGuard]

every board i visit has everybody believeing she will be a character =\

as for the topic, I like this FS< i wondered what they would incorperate from the game, and they made something only fans would recognize

 

[Link Sharingan]

kinda unique compare to the other FS

 

[Eight Sage]

Pit's final smash is meh...

Unless Palutena works like Snorlax in Brawl, It's one of the worst.

Edit:
And we should moderate the update-threads.
Tomorrow will be a disaster.

 

[Enlong]

This one is pretty cool. I imagine the Centurions flying around in Unon-like swarms, dive-bombing the crap out of everyone's health. It's nice, and quite unique (here I was thinking some kind of super-barrage of Light Arrows... from space! Guess we'll have to save that one for Zelda, eh?)

Also, it's weird, but does anyone else think that Palutena looks a bit like Elincia from Fire Emblem, Path of Radiance? You know, after she gets armor and a pegasus and stuff and becomes a unit? Palutena just sort of looks like her.

 

[Suna]

I lve this updat and his final smash seems good I can't wait to play pit in brawl!

 

[LukeFonFabre]

Well, for starters, Palutena is stunningly beautiful, I love her redesign and she truly looks epic in that screenshot.

As for the centurions, well they're less aesthetically pleasing as the other FS attacks (though Palutena pretty much makes up for that XD), but as an attack they could be quite devastating, assuming they really are fast and do some pretty hefty damage. My impression is that it works sort of like the beedrill and unown did in the last games, except they seem to come from all angles, so there probably is quite a big number of them. Unfortunately it's hard to gauge how powerful they are because the only one that has contact with the other characters is with Ike, it's debatable whether Ike is blocking/countering, flinching or actually attacking.

I'm also curious about Pit. He clearly moves position after he summons the Goddess, so he's not fixed in position. The question is though is can he still attack while the centurions are swarming, because if he can then it'll make it very hard to avoid the onslaught is Pit is also wailing on them. It's interesting though, very little is actually focused on Pit despite it being his FS, so it's hard to know what he is capable of doing himself.

I have also heard that this move is actually based on Kid Icarus as well, so it get's point in my book from actually taking elements from the game.

I expected a better Final Smash from Pit but this fits him. In Kid Icarus, there were these Centurion statues (those guys were actually turned to stone by Medusa) in the dungeon/temple levels. If you hit them with a hammer, they spring to life and they aid you in the boss battle. They shot arrows and one hit would take em down.

It seems like this is summoning several ATs of the same character at once. I hope it's pretty effective. If not, it's ok since Final smashes aren't gonna be the thing that needs to be focused on winning.

I hope Palutena is an AT. I would like to see what she can do.

Sakurai sure is focusing a lot on Pit. It's like he's gonna be the main character of Brawl (probably because he's an angel?)

I think this might be an advertisement for Pit to get his own Wii game.

 

[Chibirobo]

I figured Palutena was going to be in Pit's final smash! God,I'm getting good at being right!(even though I didn't except a final smash.)


Anyway,enough of my bragging. Even though I thought Pit's FS would be cooler than this,these little guys don't seem so bad. Also,I'm assuming those warrior ******* are invincible,right?

 

[Eight Sage]

No, but he's Sakuari's main for sure.

 

[tirkaro]

is anyone else getting a wierd 300 vibe from this final smash? >_>

but anyway...... no palutena armor? D:

 

[MzNetta]

I can totally see this FS DOMINATING in 1v1 matches.

In FFAs, it looks like the centurions are divided among the players.

Say a total of 24 Centurions come to aid pit, so each player gets hit by 8 of them (SPECULATION)

Then, in 1v1, that single player is forced to eat all 24 of those attacks.

These numbers are imaginary, the concept is the main idea.

Don't count Pit out of the amazing FS world.

 

[Aryman]

Is Palutena wearing lingere?? Hot.

Good point, actually. Being able to block a centurion won't do you much good if a bunch of them team up on you... hur hur.

Pit: Final Smash

Summon Fanservice​

...holy ****, you are RIGHT!


By the way, I'm surprised I saw nobody mention this yet...
He not only moves to another position after summoning these guys, he's also still glowing.
I assume that means he's invincible during the whole duration of the attack, too.
Which can probably be applied to other Final Smashes as well.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

So wait, if Pit is invincible during the centurion attack, and is able to actually move around and possibly attack, while the stage is being bombarded by these centurion fellows, that's going to make it pretty hard to avoid getting beat up.

Seeing as this is based off the game, how many centurions were there, as that might give us an idea of how many of them swarm the stage.

I don't think they're going as far as the exact numerical value. Rather just whatever seems balancing. If they were to be more like the game, the centurions would be statues first and then brought to life by Palutena or something. Though Pit's appearance in Brawl takes place after his first adventure (in terms of his power) so it can be assumed the army as a whole is restored thus no one really knows how many centurions they have now.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

I don't think they'd take the exact value, but they'd probably still use it as a rough estimate, unless it's actually quite a small number.

 

[burrito]

People keep comparing Pit's Smash attack to the unowns, but it's more like a bunch of Scythers attacking at once.

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

It would help if one of the pictures actually showed the Centurions attacking, instead of just the post-attack (dying).
Are they supposed to fly by and shoot arrows?
Are they supposed to divebomb a character and poke them with the pointy arrows?
Are they supposed to bumrush the stage?

I know Sakurai enjoys hiding information, but I think this time it was accidental, and very irritatingly.

Is Ike trying to shield the falling centurion? Or is he about to use Eruption? If he's shielding, this could be another hint at the "specialized shields" theory that used to be going around.

 

[Hong]

I don't think they'd take the exact value, but they'd probably still use it as a rough estimate, unless it's actually quite a small number.

According to my calculations, there are exactly 78 Centurion Statues to break through out the course of Kid Icarus.

My guess is 20 or so for Pit's Final Smash assuming they're painful enough.

 

[silver777]

i don't know how many are there in each level they are in.

i really thought Pit's FS would be him wearing Palutena's armor

^ armored with big wings Pit FTL.

 

[Hong]

There are 28 in the first, 32 in the second and 18 in the last.
A cooler fan art version of the sacred armor;

Such a shame it'll probably never appear unless they have alternative outfits. D:

Yeah, that's probably a bit too many XD. Though it is almost the same number of cohorts that Roman centurions led (80).

20-30 should be alright.

 

[-Foggy-]

I don't think Sakurai would underpower Pit, so I'm not worried about that.

Th real question Sakurai is trying to bring up is what the hell Ike is supposed to be doing. Well, here's my theory. This has been brought up once before in other topics about bubble shields, but I think this just reinforces it.

IMO, bubble shields will return, but now they will be invisible. This has been hinted at in trailers (too lazy to post the link to thread that pointed this out), and now it's being hinted at again. Look at the pic with Ike. See how the centurion is being reflected about a foot away from Ike? He's putting up an invisible bubble sheld. In the trailers, the invisible bubble shield's outilne was a little visible, but IMO, Ike had JUST put up the shield, making the outline not show up, a little like power shielding. The reason Sakurai took the pic at this instant was to simply make it look better. As other people have said, the website is as much to advertise the game as it is giving info, and completely invisible shield looks WAY better than a slightly visible one, so Sakurai took the pic at that instant when it was completely invisible to make the game look a little better....

Either that, or Ike is using a counter move....Actually, a counter move is probably more likely....lolz.

 

[maxpower1227]

I like Pit's FS. For all the people complaining about it, quit whining, or at least suggest what you think would be better.

Also, my thoughts on some other issues:


1) Yes, Palutena looks awesome, and that is her in the cutscene

2) As someone else mentioned, we can't really assume too much from the last pic. Ike could be blocking before/after his shield comes up, he could be taking a hit, he could be using his B move and bouncing an attack off the centurion... we don't know.

3) Indeed it does seem that Pit can move during the FS, but I don't think that will make it too overpowered. It's probably similar to a pokemon attack - maybe slightly more powerful - and I doubt Pit will be invincible during the attack.

 

[GregUnit]

It looks pathetic. I want to see a Marth counter all of them.

 

[maxpower1227]

*cough* .

 

[Masque]

I'm surprised that so many people dislike it! It appears as though Pit can move, and it sounds as if the Centurions will move quickly enough that anyone trying to avoid them will have a tough time of it. I don't see any problems with it, frankly.

 

[BigRick]

If Pit is able to move during the FS then I like...

If he can't then the move looks really meh...

 

[Ash Hol]

well i dont know what to say about the attack, its cool but we dont know how fast it goes, or how many there are or what damage it does. its probably strong or else it wouldnt be a final smash.

 

[SAMaine]

It's too bad that this pretty much confirms Palutena won't be playable... because her Brawl model is hot

Who says she won't? She's a friggen goddess, she CAN be in two places at once!

 

[shinypaper]

This was probably already said, seeing as I didn't want to go through 74 posts to see if it was.

Anyways, the final smashes seem to be really out of balance...
Mario's covers the entire stage... DK sits and plays drums....Bowser becomes Giga bowser. Three totally different unbalanced final smashes right there. Link's you can probably avoid, Mario's... as I said, covers the entire stage.
So as someone said before, unless there are a whole whack load of centurions or they do the kind of damage that mario's wall of fire does, then Pit's final smash seems to be really weak.

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

Why would Palutena be playable? She was never a character to start with! She's a goddess, she doesn't have time to mettle in our foolish mortal affairs. It's like asking the Sages from Ocarina of Time to be characters.

 

[M.K]

Maybe this has been mentioned before (probably) but:

Looks like Pit can move during his Final Smash!

He's on the upper left platform

He's in the middle of the stage.

Maybe other characters can move also?

 

[Tony_]

The Centaurians obviously move all over the screen, at very fast speeds nearly unavoidable to any character.

So yeah, best update this week.

 

[Master_Yang]

And in the end, even if the FS is the weakest of all..I'd still use it just for the shot of Palutena, and the possible invincibility. Tbh, I'll use it because it's Pit's FS, everything else really doesn't matter.

 

[Takeshi245]

I think Pit's Final Smash is cool. He summons Palutena and tells Centurions to go wild on Pit's opponents. They're hard to dodge, so blocking or attacking them would help. Pit can move during the attack, so that gives the opponent(s) something to think about as well.
