Isn't Pit's Bow/Swords much larger in Sm4sh than in Brawl?

[moltenrokk]

This maybe have been asked before but i just wanted some else to clarify. To me they seem much larger than Brawl's length and defiantly add to his game much better. Last game, he basically had the range of a melee fighter because of how short his attacks were. They seem much larger in this game and I wonder how they now compare to other sword wielders in the cast.

It certainly feels that way. His Ftilt and Fsmash have alot more range, although he swings differently now.

 

[Prism]

Yeah, they've definitely changed him

Pit in Brawl.

Pit in SSB4. Either he's shorter or the bow's bigger. Possibly even both.

The Bow's larger when indicating the blue closest to the middle of the bow. Brawl's has a thinner portion of blue there while Smash 4's larger and more smooth. His hitboxes are larger though, but Pit's size seems the same. Plus Pit does have different move animation that also adds to his improved range, though his U-air and N-air look the same despite having better range.

How old is the SSB4 picture? The grounded animation changed mid-development, but I'm not sure about the aerial animation.

Really old. I think it's one of the announcement images.

Really, we should be comparing his idle poses instead, since the bow bends when he pulls it back.

I think that only applies to Link and Toon Link who use regular bows. Pit's magic, blades bow is special that way.

I seem to recall Sakurai specifying he wanted to increase Pit's overall strength and power in this iteration of Smash. It would be a logical step to increase the size of his chosen weapons as such.

Possibly just conjecture and psychosomatic interpretation at play, but is their any discernible distinction between the size and design of the bow in Brawl and it's later appearance in Uprising? I seem to notice the physical properties of his bow evolved (subtly) along with the rest of the design between those two games.

I remember thinking the bow looked really big in SSB4, but I haven't really noticed a difference between Brawl and KIU, and I'd typically notice this kind of thing.

We should probably quit spitballing and compare pictures now...

Yes Pits bow is larger than in Brawl. And that is good. Look at the other fighters like Palutena or Shulk. They have a great range. If Pit wouldn't be increased, the range could be so bad like in Brawl. In my opinion the range in Brawl was bad, but in SSB4 it looks great. ^^
