I've noticed that in both of the guides made, people have just been like "Here's a move and heres how much it does. Pit spins his bow." No offense to DEHF, he's a B.A.
Anyways, I would make a guide, but I don't see a point to. I already made an arrow guide, and there's two other -not so detailed- guides on here. If people want me to, maybe i'll make one. But really, it's pointless.
Anyways, here's a couple juicy tips that people should throw into their guides to improve them perhaps.
Up-air combos - Most of the time does 12%, but the cool thing is that it almost ALWAYS combos out of the dthrow if you jump fast enough. At 0%, you can just dthrow SH uair and then side B people. Good damage. Not so hot information, but it's pretty cool.
D-Smash damage boost- At some point in Pit's Dsmash, he can do 24% with it. I think they have to be behind you and touching you. Maybe you saw that video where toon link killed Zelda at 0% with dsmash? It might be conditional like that, but I'm not sure. People should look into this some more. 24% is a lot of damage for one UNCHARGED move.
Glide-Cancelling glide attack into aerials- This is really cool and fairly useful if you pull it off. Basically, what i'll do is walk off the stage, midair jump, and glide into towards someone. Isn't that awesome? Nope. What's awesome is that you can use your glide attack right before you hit the ground to knock the opponent up into the air and then you can hit them with any other aerial, but usually only at low percents. My favorite is glide cancel to up-air. It's pretty useful. But still, not too hot.
Rapid-A bow spin thing- EASIEST WAY TO DO IT!!! I made a thread about it not too long back. here it is: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=144302 You do NOT have to mash A a billion times to start it. Just hit A, A, cstick, and hold A. boom, done. hold A as long as you want to hold the move out.
Fair WoP- I'm pretty sure Pit can wall of pain some heavier characters with fair. I did it to Snake today since his up-B takes a second to initiate. Someone should test this on other characters and get back to me on that.
Shield Cancelling Fsmash- This isn't Pit specific, it's a general brawl mechanic. But it's pretty useful for Pit since Fsmash is basically his top ground killing move. Try running at someone, tap shield, then fsmash. Space it good so you don't get punished. It's actually really useful. Works the same with dsmash too (you don't need to shield cancel to do a usmash, although it MAY stop your momentum instead of doing that sliding upsmash thing)
The way I instant edgehog (or "Hugging" as some call it)- This isn't new or anything since everyone's heard about it, but this is just the way I do it (and i'm sure other people do it the same way.) You can 'hug' the edge by walking off the stage then holding toward the edge, but what I do is walk off and fast fall immediately after i go off the edge. grabs it almost instantly.
Here's the thing that I'm surprised no one has really talked about.
Pit's mirror shield can edgegaurd some characters >.< Pit's down-B can turn characters around when they attack it, so why not use it against their recoveries to flip them back where they came from?
Ever heard of Fox? Me neither. When he's up-b'ing back, just jump out in front of him and mirror sheild. Guess where Fox goes. THE OTHER WAY. It works like a cape. It takes some practice, precision, and prediction to get consistent though (three P's weren't on purpose lol. Guess we can call it the three P's or mirror shield edgeguard) Doesn't work on all characters of course, but for the ones that it does work on, it's pretty useful. I know for a fact it works on the following characters' Up-Bs.
-Fox
-Wolf, fairly difficult
-Falco
-DK
-Tlink
-Link
-Ness, but have to be close
-Samus, but it may still hit you
Does Not work Against:
-Bowser
-All Pokemon Trainer pokemon (maybe charizard, but it's already vertical)
-Marth
-Ike (Side B may be possible to reverse)
And it probably doesn't work on people who tether (which, it doesn't matter cause you just edgehog them anyways.) Any characters with a linear and damage giving recovery can be affected by this. The spacies might be the only ones it's useful against, but it may work agianst other characters too.
