Meet the new Brawl challengers - Part 14 - an angelic adversary
Thursday, March 6th, 2008 at 8:58am by David
[There are 15 new challengers in Super Smash Bros Brawl. This series will feature each new contender and rank them on their fighting potential with the Infendo Smash-O-Meter! The Smash-O-Meter measures each character (on a scale of 0 to 300) on their uniqueness and potential as a great Brawler. Spoilers may be present, so be careful if you wish to remain unspoilt.]
Pit
Pit is a young angel, trapped in the underworld. The Goddess of Light, Palutena, summoned Pit to defeat the Goddess of Darkness, Medusa. To do so, he first had to collect the Three Sacred Treasures. After that adventure, Pit was also tasked with defending Angel Land from an attack by the demon, Orcos.
Games:
Kid Icarus, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Cameos: Tetris, F-1 Race, WarioWare series
Wielding a bow that he can transform into a sword, Pit is a formidable challenger. Pit can glide in the air and his arrows can be guided by the player. Summoning Palutena’s Army may also spell an early doom for anyone in the stage with Pit.
A long sought after character, how do you rank Pit in anticipation of Brawl?
[Which of he 15 new competitors will claim the coveted 300% Smash-O-Meter rating? Tune in tomorrow for the final entry in our series.]

We’ve gone through them all already? I must have missed a few.

There’s two newcomers left. Zero Suit Samus and ROB the Robot. Are you leaving one out?

I’ve seen videos, and Pit, like Meta Knight, just seems to be a damage maker. He doesn’t really have any moves with decent knockback.

He’s still the first character I want to play with. I miss Pit. Is he available from the get-go?

@Doc: Yeah, I believe so.

Wow, I assume they’re leaving ZS Samus out, which means they’re giving R.O.B. a perfect 300.
I can’t imagine why. I can’t be the only one who thinks he looks absolutely awful.
I still can’t believe how poorly they rated Lucario - he looks incredible. He’s probably gonna be my new main, as a matter of fact.

At the very least, NoA got rid of Pit’s…

I am so pumped to play Pit, that bow/sword weapon combined with flight… RAWR!

Stan: both Metaknight and Pit actually have pretty decent knockback. Not anything extraordinary, but then again, they’re both more combo-centered characters. So far I like Metaknight more, I like the way his aerials hit more, and he seems to have better ground game overall.
Ben: Believe it or not, R.O.B. is actually a good character. He has average speed, which is faster than I expected it would be. His uair is good for juggling and his dair is a great meteor smash (and it spikes.) Eye lasers are so much fun, etc etc. Definitely alternating him.
