any advice for pit matches?

I've never fought a good pit, but my basic strat is:

pit and you on ground

Dash block arrows
Bait smashes
If you actually fight a pit that uses the sheild (laughs) bait that than smash
pretty much just stay defensive till you can jump out of a sheild and combo

pit and you in air

air dodge towards him if he can fair you
don't approach his back, bairs **** meta
try to glide to dodge arrows but don't glide to actually approach and attack
**** his dair
don't fear his uair (it's fast and big, but you can DI out quick and punish his recovery)
get him off stage and gimp his stupid up-b (reverse dairs work just fine)

pit ground you air

don't approach, you'll get smashed or side-b
if you simply must approach, air dodge to bait an attack
VERY IMPORTANT (LAND)

pit air you ground

the situation that you want!
do what ever you like, you're at the advantage
don't forget to FF (fast fall) if you decide to aerial

Other than his Foward-B, uair and arrows, you simply outrange him. Make good use of your aerials and avoid coming at him from above (except off stage). Um...on the ground, use SH bairs and fairs or make use of your ftilt. I believe MK's ftilt has more range than Pit's fsmash...but look out for Pit's ftilt as the range is absolutely excellent and it is one of his killing moves.
