How do I play Pit? No ones ever been to give me an accurate description =/. People always say "Just shoot arrows and camp." But no one ever tells me what I should be looking for my opponent to do, where I should be (just outside opponents range or what?) and all that super nescessary stuff . Like if someone runs in and powersheilds my arrow my face gets wrecked. so yea. Help!!

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Charge the arrow so they can't powershield it on reaction.

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

watch some of the vids in the Pit Youtube Channel thread. look for vids from the player earth, esca, yass, and koolaid. those vids will be your guide

 

[Abel1994]

I just shoot arrows, SH-nair and jab a lot. and wing stall every now and way for teh mindgaemz

honestly I just watched videos of Esca, and copied him, tbh.

 

[MasterKurei]

can some explain to me in details how i do the raining arrows? i do the loop one but not the rainning ones.

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Shoot 3 straight up then shoot one backwards and loop it around you and straight down. All of your arrows take the same path as the last one you shot and they don't dissapear if they go offscreen straight up.

 

[MasterKurei]

Wow i never knew that thats really cool thankz for the help man.

 

[MasterKurei]

What's the best way to get better with Pit? And can someone tell me some tips using the Arrows?

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

learn how to space with the tip of dtilt, get creative with how/when you jab and how you follow both jab endings up, don't glide attack except on read or it is unpunishable, learn the way of mirror shield, learn both onstage gameplay before you practice planking, as planking is easy whereas the onstage game is where it's hard.

edit
oh ya, learn how/when to use ftilt and fair, they really are great when used properly

 

[Esca]

i love you guys. <3

It depends, I've seen Japanese Pits(Masashi&Earth) get their arrows powershielded right in the face, but they somehow shield/spotdodge/roll away right in time. I believe they buffer their moves a lot better than US Pit players, but how to play Pit?! That's a tough one because Pit is versatile and there aren't really any amazing Pits to be able to say(not that the experienced Pits can give a good description).

I'll give it a go though...

Pit can be played very campy and also aggressive, but from personal experience...passive aggressiveness with Pit suits best. His arrows allow him to figure out and pressure opponents whether they are on the ledge, far away, in the air...wherever. Learning how to control and when to use arrows is probably the biggest thing you should learn with Pit. Also, learning his entire range because it's not the best, but with good spacing--it works well enough. I'd say mid-range away from the opponent is optimal. It gives you enough time to retreat and arrow, but also enough to dash-shield grab/approach/whatever. Another biggy w/ Pit is learning how to string and punish the opponent in the air and landings. Pit has few combos, but most of his moves string together and send opponents straight into the air, probably more than any character. Also, learning how to recover and not getting gimped out of up-b/glide is important.

So ...question.

You know how wings of icarus' duration gets decreased if you don't touch the ground or some ish like that?

If i wing refresh to wing refresh does that still happen?

Also, how long does it take for the full time of WoI to be restored after it gets decreased from overusage?

Kuro~

 

[Pitzer]

It takes atleast 2 seconds for it to refresh while on the ground

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Wtf, kuro sleeping with mink?

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Wtf, kuro sleeping with mink?

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

yes, even if you wing refresh. also, the specific times are instead of WOI lasting 5 seconds, it lasts 2.5 seconds. however you don't need to touch the ground to get the 5 seconds back, you just have to not be in WOI for 2 seconds, air or ground. it makes no difference.

 

[Kuro~]

kk thanks maha.

 

[MasterKurei]

when i do WOI under the stage sometimes i go to the other side fast but sometimes it seemes that im going slow what could it be?

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

you gotta fall bit and/or double tap that direction first. just in case, you only tap twice with the control stick and he goes faster for the double tap.

 

[MasterKurei]

:o cause i was so lost at first xD

 

[Ohsm]

hey everyone it is me again

one short question:
Do you use ur dair fairly often?
I mean is it worth it?

I play pit since 2008 and never use it :x
all his other arials are awesome, hands down
Is there any good use I'm not aware of or am I just ignorant? xD

thanks in advance

 

[Pitzer]

I use Dair a lot its one of pit's surprise killing moves, you can use it like an mk uses dair to.

 

[Admiral Pit]

D-air's pretty good if you know how to use it. Sometimes, it's good to get opponents above you, that of which Pit is pretty good when he's below his opponent in most cases, provided you don't have to deal with higher-priority moves, like a G&W D-air at certain angles.

What I want to know is what characters make good partners for Pit (EXCLUDING MK). I've been trying to figure out possible little team combos (or Follow-ups) for some, which is why I mentioned Peach and ZSS a lot, but what about other characters (again, excluding MK)?

 

[MasterKurei]

Never knew Dair could be used like MK's.Very good to know!

 

[Pitzer]

Pit teams

Wario/Snake/G&W/ZSS/Ike/Sonic/Luigi

 

[Ohsm]

never knew it's such a good killing move.
At which % it kills the average char?
Is it crucial to hit with a special spot or does the opponent always fly above you?
As I sayed above it's the only attack I never use in pits moveset I have no clue about it, I often got punished when I tryed to use it.

most of the time I think there are better options then dair idk ^^
but I give it a try

@admiral pit I tought you don't play anymore
I like you pit play

 

[Pitzer]

Dair kills fresh at around 147%-162% depending on weight class and ceiling levels.

 

[Admiral Pit]

I wanted details, or at least was I can test to see if they got a few tricks, but I lost my creativity a lot now-a-days. Only thing I got was Pit with Peach, and I dont think I trust Sonic.

 

[MasterKurei]

Why can i controll the arrows better on wifi then offline?

 

[Pitzer]

You're probably use to wifi.

 

[Ohsm]

what are your opinion about dash dancing and privat dance with pit?

I use them sometimes to look cool but are there really usefull?
Ok you can psyodo mindgame with the dash dance a bit
and the privat dance is completly useless imo but it looks cool

 

[Pitzer]

Dash dancing, can be used for when you're baiting an airdodge. I dash dance when I kill someone to get some tech skill back. I don't have any other uses for it.

Sorry I dont understand the whole thing

Edit: How do I perform a arrow swarm?
I'm very good at loop and rain but I dont manage it to perform a good arrow swarn. Yass use them very often in his vids. I have the problem when I stand for example on the left edge shooting an arrow to the right, looping them and than I want to shoot a second arrow to loop them to but after that the first arrow loops on the right sight and the second one loops where the first one loops before. Sry for the bad explantion hope you understand my problem.
Is it just bad timing or am I doing something absolutly wrong?
Some tips would be awesome

 

[Pitzer]

Whenever I get Hyped. I Regain my tech skill, then I start throwing out frame traps. It's like a boost of energy. Dash dancing makes me Hyped.

 

[MasterKurei]

You're probably use to wifi.

But i dont do wifi much its weird xD
