Pit (character)

Pit is a young angel who first appeared in the game Kid Icarus. He will soon appear as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Pit is the leader of Palutena's bodyguard army, which consists of Centurions.

Super Smash Bros. Series
Pit was originally supposed to be in the original Super Smash Bros., but was replaced by Jigglypuff, in order to get more sales (Jigglypuff is from a much more popular series than Pit). He then made a cameo as a collectible Trophy is Super Smash Bros. Melee.

He will finally become playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Pit will be able to shoot light arrows that can be slightly directed, and will also be able to break his sacred bow of Palutena into two blades for some up close combat. He is shown to be able to jump multiple times like Kirby or Meta Knight. Pit will be voiced by Minami Takayama.

Pit's emblem in the Super Smash Bros. Series is a Bow and Arrow.

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
''The head of Palutena's personal bodyguards, Pit traveled near and far to gather Three Sacred Treasures that would help him defeat the evil goddess of darkness, Medusa, and free Palutena, the goddess of light. Pit couldn't fly with his little wings; only the Wings of Pegasus let him take flight. Will Pit ever fight again?''
