Thought I'd get the ball rolling with this thread about Pits special moves.
Three of Pits special moves are taken from the original NES game, they were the special treasures you received at the end of each stage. The Light Arrows, the Wings of Pegasus and the Mirror Shield. Only two moves have been revealed on the dojo so far, with Whirling Blade and the Mirror Shield being revealed from people playing him at E for All and gameplay videos.
B
Palutena Arrow
The two rings on Pits arm create an arrow of light which he then fires from his bow. The arrow traves very fast, and the trajectory can be changed by tilting the control stick up or down when it's fired.
Up B
Wings of Icarus
Pit gets a boost, then can fly around freely, his wings glow blue while the move is activated. From the videos released so far it looks as though the effect lasts a decent amount of time, with him being able to float around the stage or fly vertically upwards with a few flaps of his wings. After activating you just tilt the control stick in the direction you want to fly. This move along with his multiple jumps and gliding ability looks set to give Pit some of the best aerial mobility in the game.
Both Palutena Arrow and Wings of Icarus can be viewed in this movie
Forward B
Whirling Blade

The name is tentative, but Pit rushes forward with his bow outstretched and spins it rapidly hitting anyone in the way multiple times. It looks pretty impressive in action. From the Norfair video it appears to do 1-2% damage per hit, and hits quite fast. Yoshi goes from 120% to 132% with one use. This move can also be used to reflect projectiles.
Down B
Mirror Shield

His last special, revealed most recently is his Mirror Shield. According to reports from E For All it can reflect projectiles and deflect regular attacks like the normal shield. It seems to only protect one side of Pit however.
As more specifics are confirmed I'll update this post to reflect what we know of them, so discuss how you think Pits moves are here! Additional screenshots of them in action would be helpful too if anyone has access to them.nal screenshots of them in action would be helpful too if anyone has access to them.
