The protagonist in Kid Icarus. Pit's Sacred Bow of Palutena is actually two blades combined. He can separate them or unite them at will for use in battle.
The arrows Pit's bow unleashes shoot out like beams of light. Players can control the curves of their trajectories.

Pit draws his bowstring taut...
And fires! The trajectory of the arrow can curve.
Steering up and down will bend the trajectory.
His arrows travel as fast as light, though, so be quick. Very quick!
He's falling! Danger! ...But don't worry.
The "Wings of Icarus" allow Pit to fly freely through the sky!
In actuality, though, Pit is an angel who cannot ordinarily fly.
After a while, he will fall, so be careful.

Character Impression
==================
Alright it's time for Pit. Easily one of the most requested characters for me to review in this thread. Pit moves pretty quickly, has some good disjointed aerials, is pretty quick up and down, has one of the most useful projectiles in Brawl and has a great recovery. Pit has a little bit of trouble when it comes to actually getting his kills though. There is also a mostly unexplored property with Pit that I think will be pretty big in Brawl, but I could be very wrong on this one. Anyways, let's dive right in.
Pit has a decent amount of combo potential, his combo moves don't do a lot of knockback so they can combo at some of the higher percents too. Pit's moves have a very quick startup and they aren't laggy either, but he does lack a bit in the power category. He does have a few killing moves in his down smash, forward smash, and back air; those are his primary methods of killing. Even though these moves don't really kill until a higher average percentage than most characters were killing at they still get the job done and he still has a lot of other really good properties. Pit does have his kill moves, and also has a lot of disjointed range. Pit can also jump up to 4 times in the air and also has an incredible recovery with his up b. His projectile is probably also the one of only ones that can reasonably be spammed and he also has two special moves that cause him to reflect projectiles back at opponents. Pit has got a lot going for him in Brawl.
Pit's has a pretty unique set of special moves. His down b was a very curious move, it can reflect projectiles if they come in contact with the mirror, but it also acts as a second, unbreakable sheild for regular attacks as well, you can hold this sheild for as long as you want. Please note, only the actual sheild blocks attacks, Pit can be grabbed out of this stance and can be hit from behind. Pit's side b causes him to launch forward slightly and spin his bow in front of him. This move does moderate damage, but also has a reflecting property, you can also change the duration of this move based on how long you hold the special button but this one can't be held forever like the down b. Any projectile that hits his bow while he is spinning it is reflected. Pit's other two specials seem like they will be very important to how Pit plays. Pit's famous Palutena Arrow is one of the most useful projectiles in the game. This move has a lot of properties that make it special. This move fires very quickly, but once you press the special button you can hold it for as long as you want. Once you've pulled the bow back you can change directions, you can point it straight up left or right. This is the only nuetral b move currently in the game that can be turned around quickly before the move starts, which gives it inherant camping abilities even without discussing its other wonderful properties. After you fire the move you can quickly angle it up and down (or left and right if you are shooting it straight up) which is bound to be very useful once mastered. This move not only fires quickly but has almost no lag afterwards. The move does about 5% per shot. It is a great all around move. Pit's up b has some wonderful potential. Pit's up b grants him the ability to fly freely for a short time, but some moves can actually cancel his flight. During the matches that I played as Pit I used the up b as a miniature short hop, almost like Peach's float for Pit because you can cancel out with his airials. There are many possible applications for the canceling of this move, but I'll leave that up to your own imagination!
Overall Pit is pretty unique, he has a great deal of disjointed priority, he is very quick, he's got a good projectile game, a wonderful recovery. The only thing Pit is lacking is a little bit of strength, but he is still a good character because of all of his other good properties.

Final Smash

Final Smash
==================
Pit’s Final Smash is a little bit weird. For a moment the action pauses while he summons his little winged friends to attack you. They all hover on the screen for a moment and then ONE AT A TIME in fairly rapid succession they attack you. Pit can actually move around and attack you while this is happening, basically if Pit gets a grab it’s all over. The attackers do TONS of damage and knockback, and if one of them hits you, you are most likely dead (with the exception that the one that hits you is the last one) because there are more coming and they combo you if one hits. Pit’s Final smash is pretty cool, but the bad thing about it is that you can actually fight the summons. When I was using Bowser versus a Pit who got his Final Smash I actually started Fortressing away the summons, so they can be defeated. But that’s where the advantages come in that Pit is actually still mobile during all of this, so you can get your setups this way.
