Down throw Reset Combo by ReRaze

It is possible for Pits to perform a reset lock combo at low percents. This combo can easily rack up 40%.  Here is an example of the combo.

2016 Smash for Wii U rewind

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.

Smash diary : November 2016

I went to Smash down world, and my god, it was an awesome event.

I exit the tournament with a quick 0-2. But I was glad of my performance.

The first set was against a Yoshi. He takes the advantage on the first game quickly, but I almost manage to make a come back. So I was still confident I could take the match.
I switch to Dark pit for the second game, it is tensed for the whole game and I end up winning the game with a release ledge - Fair reads which I punish with side B.
It quickly takes the advantage the third game and I eventually SD.
At the end of the game, I was still glad on how I played since I won my first game in a tournament !

The second set was against a Cloud.
He quickly bodies me the first game. I was pretty discusted at the end of the game.
But I manage to draw first blood on the secon set which gives me a lot of confident back. I manage to carry that momentum to take a 3 lifes to 1 lead. But he makes the come back : He swips my first life since it was at high percent. And unfortunatly I sucked during the second stock and he ends up taking it almost for free. He eventually takes my last stock. I was a bit disappointed to get come backed on.

But congrats to my opponents.

I then alternane between friendlies and looking at the stream set up.
I've seen an European Shulk fight Kameme and a French Jigglypuff face Komoriki. Both of them did well so it was very fun to watch.
I've also seen Glutonny versus  Kameme, everybody on internet probably heard about it and yes, it was extremly hype.

I live the first day very happy. I had fun in friendlies and tournament was already extremly hype so far.

Day two I play mostly friendlies until the streams begin.

I watched tons of hype games : Glutonny versus Anti, Kameme vs Anti with Kameme puling another Wario and Anti pulling Charizard vs Komoriki in grand final.

Smash down world was the best event I've been to so far ! I am really looking forward more tournaments of this caliber in Europe.

So you want to main/secondary Pit ?

You are transitioning from casual to competitive, you know that sticking to one character is the best way to progress in smash and you want to main your favorite character.
You just learned that you should focus your time to one character, so you read different guides. And you end up with one charcter but you aren't 200% sure.
Or you want to pick a character from your favorite game : Kid Icarus Uprising.

And that character is Pit (or Dark Pit) ?

This article is here to tell you what Pit is all about, his advantages and drawbacks, what is enjoyable and what is frustrating about him so you can finally decide if Pit is your main or not.

Training mechanics alone

    Sometimes, you will not have anyone around you to play with and train with. And that is good ! Because some mechanics needed in the game must be trained alone.
Here are different tips to train mechanics well, with only you, your wii u and your controller.

Smash Diary : September 2016

Very late Diary for this month. Because I wasn't very motivated to do anything Smash related in my house this week.

Labbing results : Get up Low Fair

[Here are the results of labbing I made. This is no game changing mechanic, but maybe a small evolution to Pit's gameplay if  we can develop it (I don't think it is helpful right now).
For a better understanding, I recommand you to slow the videos to 0.25]

A usefull get up option for Pit is Release ledge > Airjump > Fair. Example.
There is also the alternative to lower the hitbox of the Fair. I called it "Get Up Low Fair" because it makes 'GULF', which is funny... (If you have better name please share it).


The advantage I see of the lower hitbox, is that it can shield stab much more easily.
If the opponent is waiting at the ledge holding his shield, maybe we can use GULF to push him out of shield ?
That was the goal of my labbing session.

Smash Diary : August 2016

Not a particularly movemented month. Tried to make regular training as much as I could.
I feel I am slightly better in staying focus throughout the game and reading the opponent. I still have trouble changing my plays to punish those reads.

The second 4-BR tier list just came (link here if you have been living under a rock). It is very nice that they started publishing Tier lists again, we will be able to see the evolution of the global opinion.

Writing the result of labbing I had about the Low Fair get up (smashboard thread). If it is not published already, it will be in the upcoming days.

Random stuffs I learned :
If you buffer the opposite direction your character is facing your character will just turn around. That means you can do things like throw > turnaround Bair, shield turnaround on release without fearing input flops.
I need to use Nair at neutral more, I can put safe pressure on the opponent. I faced a Pit using it and I felt how necessary it is.

Smash Diaiy : July 2016

I want to write my own diary, and later, I might read them again and see my progression on Smash.

Pit basic tutorial : B-reverse for Pits

Here is a quick review of the smash 4 tech "B-reversing" for Pit . Which is a basic yet important technic Pits mains need to know.

Pit or Dark pit : A rundown of the differences

Credits

    I see a frequent missconception from non Pit mains : thinking than Dark Pit is the strickly better Pit. I know where this mainly comes from, hun hun. I have discussed with  other Pits mains, I now want to break down the difference of those two characters and clear the missconception.
