Pit (Super Smash Flash 2)

Pit is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. He was confirmed on May 27, 2016, after some SSF2 Beta files were leaked and some videos were posted showing him off. He was officially confirmed on a special emergency Dev Blog, along with, on May 29, 2016. Pit was originally meant to be revealed at Super Smash Con 2015, but his reveal ended up being delayed until the Summer of 2016. His appearance, moveset and voice clips come from his Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U appearance.

Pit is currently ranked 13th in the A- tier on the current tier list. Pit has an amazing air game, a reflector, a good combo ability, one of the best recoveries of the game with three midair jumps and his up special move, good air speed and kill moves in his side special move, forward smash, up aerial and back aerial. His projectile is extremely fast and can be controlled, making it one of Pit's best edgeguarding options.

However, Pit is extremely vulnerable to gimping due to his up special having a considerable amount of ending lag. Also, a good portion of his attacks are unsafe on shield and his projectile takes too long to charge, and the uncharged version only deals 1% of damage.

Because Pit's recovery, combo game and projectile outweight his flaws, he is a very high-tier character. Despite this, Pit has poor online and tournament representation with only a few players who use him.

Trivia

 * Some remnants of Pit's character files can be found in v0.7's code, indicating that he might have been originally set to appear much earlier than he did.
