Pit FAQ : What stage to pick ?

Frequently asked question : what stages are good for Pit ? The answer is : it depends on the opposite character (and your playstyle).

Beating Fox's sideB with MultiMrGi

Fox' recovery is something one should learn to exploit to make the match up more even.
Dealing with upB is fairly straight forward (but still complex to execute) : you either jump offstage to hit him off his wind up, or you arrow him to death.
Meanwhile, sideB is much more complex to deal with as it is quicker and doesn't wind up. But don't worry, MultiMrGi is here to help you.

Visual representation of frame trapping (arrows)

This is only theory. I don't have any real footage on how frame trapping. If anyone have better experience over it, please tell me if it works.

 Arrows can be effective to frame trap as they have a very low cooldown when tossed from the air (only 19 frames) while covering a very large area.

Here is the scenario : Pit Downthrow, read the airdodge and punish with Dair which pops the Marth up (airjump used : 1) : https://youtu.be/CDGmz8nme6s?t=30s
We will frame trap the option : Fast fall toward the stage to recover from below.

2016 Smash for Wii U rewind

Credits

It’s already the end of the year. The last majors ended in an exciting way. With upsets, new players comming into the highlight  (mostly using Ryu, coincidence ?) and new characters, like Nairo's Bowser, coming into play.
The community is also on its toe for the incoming Nintendo Switch and the 2GG circuit.

For sure, 2017 will be a great year, with stories, new techs, meta disruption and memorable events.

    But before we dive into next year, let's take a last look back at this year, and remember the best (and worst) of 2016.
