Pit (Life & Death)

Pit (ピット, Pit) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Pit is an angel from Angel Land. His wings are only strong enough to fly for short distances, unless he uses the Wings of Pegasus. Taking up his trademark bow to stop the dark goddess Medusa after she attacked his home of Skyworld and imprisoned Palutena, he set out to gather the Three Sacred Treasures: the Light Arrow, the Mirror Shield, and the Wings of Pegasus. Fighting his way through the Underworld, Overworld and Skyworld, Pit was able to gather the three treasures and defeat Medusa, ending her threat.
Pit is voiced by Antony Del Rio in-game, who also voices Dark Pit, voicing both in the Western versions of Life or Death, while Minami Takayama voices both Pit and Dark Pit in the Japanese version of Life or Death. 
==How to Unlock==
Pit is available from the start of a new game and doesn't need to be unlocked.
==Moveset==
* Pit can perform 3 double jumps.
 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A reverse gripped downward slash, followed by a reverse gripped inward slash, then by an upward slash. If button mashed, Pit will instead follow up the second slash with a flurry of slashes using both blades, which concludes with a lunging outward slash.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Arcs his body forward to perform a scissoring slash with both blades.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	A stretch kick followed by a high-level roundhouse kick.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A kneeling outward slash.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A spinning inward slash.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Performs a reverse gripped inward slash with a blade, then quickly reassembles the Palutena Bow in order to perform an outward slash with the Palutena Bow.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Jumps to perform three upward slashes.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Performs a kneeling outward slash with a blade, followed by a squatting reverse gripped thrust behind himself with the other blade.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A buzzsaw-like series of slashes in front of himself. It hits multiple times, with its last hit having high knockback scaling.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Lunges forward to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes that hit up to three times.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	A double reverse gripped thrust.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	An overhead, buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It hits multiple times, with its last hit launching vertically.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A downward arcing reverse gripped slash.
Grab 	N/A 	Reaches out with his free hand.
Pummel 	N/A 	A knee strike. A fairly fast pummel.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	An upward slash.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Grabs the opponent by their head, spins around with them in tow, and then slams them onto the ground headfirst.
Up Throw 	N/A 	A handstand kick, similar to Sheik's up throw.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Pins the opponent to the ground and then slashes their back.
Neutral Special	Palutena's Bow 	Shoots a whitish sky blue, ethereal arrow from his Palutena Bow. The arrow can be aimed left, right, or directly upward while charging, and the arrow itself can be curved in any direction while flying.
Side Special 	Upperdash Arm 	Wields the Upperdash Arm to perform a dashing uppercut. The grounded version's decent damage output and high knockback enable it to KOs middleweights at around 110%, turning it into one of Pit's strongest KO moves. The aerial version deals less damage and knockback, but is still strong enough to KO middleweights at around 150% from ground level. Upperdash Arm also grants super armor during the dash, and reflects projectiles at ≈45°. However, it is an overall laggy attack, especially if missed; the aerial version in particular has a total duration of 104 frames (≈1.73 seconds), leaving Pit prone to self-destructs if used below ground level. Nevertheless, the aerial version can aid Pit's recovery, as it is capable of sweetspotting edges and can still allow him to get back to the stage if he has enough jumps left.
Up Special 	Power of Fight 	Soars through the air by using the Power of Flight. It covers a significant amount of distance, and the flight's direction can be angled in any way except downward, making it capable of being a purely vertical and nearly horizontal recovery option. It also grants intangibility on frames 9-19 when used on the ground, and on frames 15-19 when used in the air. Due to its high ending lag and lack of hitboxes, however, it leaves Pit more vulnerable than other recoveries, especially if he does not grab an edge.
Down Special 	Guardian Orbitars	Wields the Guardian Orbitars to create twin energy shields that protect his left and right sides. They reflect projectiles with 50% more power and 70% more speed than they originally had, and can block physical attacks. However, they have 15 HP for physical attacks, with 0.07 HP regenerated every frame (4.2 HP per second), and break if it is fully depleted, after which they require 10 seconds to regenerate. Guardian Orbitars also push away opponents who are near Pit when he wields them, which makes them capable of edgeguarding. In the air, Pit can drift while using them, even if they are broken. Guardian Orbitars have a minimum duration of 20 frames (0.33 seconds) and a maximum duration of 100 frames (1.66 seconds). However, they leave Pit open to attacks from above and below him, and they gradually shrink in size as they are held out.
Final Smash 	Lightning Chariot	Calls for the Lightning Chariot, then jumps aboard it and flies off-screen. Afterwards, Pit says "Phos! Lux! Let's go!", and a player-controlled reticle appears on-screen, similarly to the Dragoon's. If the attack button is pressed, Pit will then command Phos and Lux to ram the Lightning Chariot into any opponents, which deals very high damage and knockback.
==Other Animations==
Animation 	Description 	Notes
On-Screen Appearance 	Slowly descends onto the stage while surrounded by rays of sparkling light that shine down from the sky. 	
Taunt 1 	Separates the Palutena Bow and crouches down, then twirls its blades before standing up, crossing them over his head and saying "Come on!" (勝負だ！, Let's battle!). 	
Taunt 2 	Separates the Palutena Bow and then flourishes its blades before striking a pose while saying "That all you got?" (まだまだ！, Not just yet!) It is similar to Pit's animation during the end of Skyworld's first cutscene in The Subspace Emissary. 	
Taunt 3 	Spreads out his arms and wings, during which a few feathers are loosed from his wings. This is the only taunt that does not split his Bow into blades if it was in bow form beforehand. 	
Smash Taunt 	Activates Palutena's Guidance. Kneels down before contacting Palutena, Viridi, Dark Pit (when fighting against him, Wolf or the Ice Climbers), Medusa (when fighting Hel) and even Alucard (when fighting against Richter). Pit then receives information on one of his opponents; this applies to every character in the game, including himself, and additional conversations for the Koopalings and the male Wii Fit Trainer. Aside from Piranha Plant, all downloadable characters share a generic "placeholder" conversation. Palutena's Guidance can only be used on Palutena's Temple, and is performed by rapidly pressing the button which activates Pit's down taunt. Pit will hold a pose for a few seconds prior to the conversation starting. Paluena's Guidance can only be done once per match, and if Pit gets hit while holding his pose before the conversation starts, it will be canceled. If Pit is KOed, the conversation will end. Lastly, if there is more than one opponent on-screen when the conversation begins, one of the opponents will be randomly chosen to be discussed.

Crowd Chant 	Pit! Pit! This is it! 	
Victory Pose 1 	After landing, he does two alternating inward slashes with his detached blades and says "It's game over for you!" ("撃破ー！", Struck down-!). The finishing pose he does is similar to his Ultimate official artwork, albeit with the blade in his left hand held in a proper grip. 	
Victory Pose 2 	Pit jumps up with his fist raised. After landing, he briefly faces away from the screen, and turns back around. He then strikes the V sign and says "Victory!" ("ピース！", Peace!). Based on the ending of Kid Icarus: Uprising. 	
Victory Pose 3 	Spins his bow in his right hand, then stops with the bow held out in front of him (similar to his Brawl pose) and says "That was easy!" or "What's up now?!" ("楽勝楽勝", Easy peasy! or "任務完了!", Mission complete!).

==Fighter Spirits==
Pit's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Pit in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
