Playing Pit

[Archangel Michæl]

How do you guys play your Pit? Meaning, do you play aggresively Close Combat, or arrow spam, or defensively? I'm just curious, I try to play close combat mostly, though the lack of a good killing move makes it a bit of a pain.

I used to play aggressively. Like extremely agressively. Like right up in their face aggressive up to the point where arrows are useless because there's no distance b/w me and my opponent.

I tried something new today. Slowing down my game so I don't end up walking into so many stupid things. Didn't work so great. So....

Back to extreme-aggressiveness >_>

Defensive. I make sure to keep myself out of the range of the enemy at all times and at all (except for taking damage) costs. I am training my spacing and timing to know when to stop shooting arrows and when to GTFO, shield, grab, or swing. After I have fully mastered all of these things and what it takes to preform said tasks, I'll be content with my Pit.

i find pits dash attack completely slow and not worth it so i rarely use it unless it is blatantly open, so im not so aggressive i guess, i use a lot of arrows pegging people off the stage and when im recovering i love gliding in for a slice that leads to a sliding attack, i also use my mirror shield ALOT, for melee attacks and everything.... but mainly my deal is to launch them and peg them with arrows until they approach me and then i try to send them flying or into the air where i can dominate them, so i guess i play defensively until they approach

Pit's Dash reaches pretty far off the stage and can be used like Yoshi's Dash attack could in Melee.

 

[teh_pwns_the]

yes but it doesnt do much damage, is easily shielded and in turn grabbed from and if you miss it has some cool down lag, plus dashing at people makes me feel open, so easy to sh>aerials or whatever they want to do

i didnt get into the technical side of melee, was perfectly happy pwning my friends with sheik but what was special about yoshis dash in it?

 

[Undrdog]

Oh no, I mean the fact that it can reach people who are off the edge but not close enough to grab the edge. I use it all the time to surprise people when they think that I can't touch them. I apply it here at 1:43 or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CeQ3fgD4eY#GU5U2spHI_4

Its very complicated there are so many different things to do. but i main go with this start off regularly shooting arrows if they can reflect ill Sh arrow. if they cant bad for them. if they have far protective ill just mirror shield than my game is all about mind games. ill hop a couple of a times like jiggly wait for you to mess up and above you with air moves than C stick. mainly i spot dodge and C stick. if i think you will try to spot dodge ill A infinite or sparely Over B sometimes short hop nuetral air. and i usually glide, not straight ill go down and up. but normally i play calm and annoying tbh and when i knock you off ill just rotate arrows trying to hit you.

if anyone wants to play my Aim is Sirskor +)
