Smash Hero
Before I say anything else, let me say I don't mind that you're kinda giving up Pit.Well guys, I'm deciding to drop Pit from my main to my third/fourth behind ZSS, Cloud, and Roy. I simply just don't enjoy playing with him. He's just so average that it's not fun to me. I hate that there's a character so incredibly average in this game. I used to consider him one of the best mid-tiers, but I can't stand being outclassed by opponents every time I play.
Tomorrow I'm going to a tournament and it'll be the last time I use Pit for a while, in order to get Roy, ZSS, and Cloud up to speed. Part of me is unexcited about the tournament because I'll have to use Pit since he's my best character still. But I genuinely don't have fun playing Smash with him anymore. I'll still lurk the Pitboards, though, looking for updates on the character and the meta.
Just letting everyone know. Dark Pit is still my favorite character in the game. Go Pit!
It needs to be said that Pit is way better then mid tier. He's undisputably high tier at this point. Pit's not average at everything, we know how Brawl Mario turned out. He's great at everything besides killing, and even then Mario can't really kill with throws or Uairs. If Nairo were playing him most people would consider him a top tier, wether or not it'd be true.
And if you're expecting better results with anybody besides ZSS, well, you should temper your expectations. Even with ZSS, if you're losing that much with Pit it honestly means that your fundamentals need work. Roy is proven to be bad in this game. Probably in the same spot he was in Melee, just that people don't notice because Marth is right beside him now.
Cloud I see cut from the same cloth as the likes of Roy, Mewtwo, Palutena and I'll say DK and be optimistic. Ike isn't a good comparison because he doesn't have nearly as many killing moves. And due to how Smash is balanced, that's a bad thing. Without a charged limit break his recovery looks to be poor. He floats as he runs so he's at the very least not heavy either, meaning he's large and has poor survival. Not a winning combination. Projectile also looks like it'll lose to most anything due to it's poor range, and besides maybe Dsmash his frame data looks bad. Not exactly a good track record for the DLC either.
