WoI is very gimpable... Pit in general is very difficult to gimp
Yes, gimping him is quite situational... If only he didn't fall as fast as non-lightweights, he could preserve his jumps longer. This is the reason why DDD runs out of jumps quickly while offstage, too much effort on maintaining a height, and with Pit only having 3 jumps, he uses them all immediately. Pit's best options is ALWAYS to recover from a ledge, be it gliding under the stage after getting knocked away, or grabbing the nearest ledge even if the opponent might expect it. If he tries anything else, he's only setting up the gimping scenario against him by wasting his glide and 3 jumps.
Pit overall might be hard to gimp, but he still is gimpable, and much more gimpable in more situations that many other characters in the A tier. That's what I'm trying to say... Hell, even DDD can recover safer because of how high his upB takes him, how he can cancel it and fall instantly to a ledge/evade an attack, redo his upB if knocked out of it, and have super armor while rising... Something Pit can't do with his.
I still want a detailed explanation on why Pit should be better than DDD, but R@vyn's the one that said that, so yeah...
Kirby's recovery is gimpable... by Pit, at least. Mirror shield is wonderful.
Yes, his recovery is gimpable... But unlike Pit, he's floaty so he can preserve jumps longer than Pit can, meaning that unless it's as a last resort, Kirby should always keep his upB unused against reflecting chaacters like Mario and Pit. Pit doesn't even have a spike nor a semi-spike, so Kirby should never find himself recovering with his upB. And even if he does need to use upB, this game has an auto-sweetspot on the ledges so that Kirby can use his upB at the best possible height were he WILL grab the ledge, and WILL NOT be reflected to his death. And unlike Pit, if you hit him, he gets another chance to use his upB, as well as recover from higher since Pit can't send him lower.
Sheik does not feel anywhere near as bad as the other characters she's near on the tier list to me.
I agree that Sheik is better than Sonic, Wolf, maybe even Luigi (but only in terms of damage output, Luigi kills better and their recoveries pretty much have the same weight to me in how gimpable they both are)... But she isn't better than Peach.
