Strategy Discussion
If there is one thing American pits doesn't have that Japanese pits have is common strategy. We will re-discuss Pits move sets and your most useful ways of using them. Possibilities can be put to a test and then possibly put to use. Not everyone playing the same is good for pits career but using using top un-punishable strategies are.
This day/ week, we will discuss Pits:
Pit's Down Aerial
My strategy soon...
Palutena's Arrow
Summary soon...
General: As pits we are biased on how to play someone him. A large number of people argue about his camping. As a beginner brawl player and to pit, we naturally feel that his arrows are good. That's because it IS really good. It is the top move we should generally apply. We rack up damage safely is a great plus and it is chargeable. It can be used aggressively and defensively. Failing to use your arrows properly means you are in danger of an attack or approaching which is considered bad.
Strategy: Pits arrows is obviously used at a range. Especially only as far as he can curve them. Standing from afar and shooting arrows is okay as they are faster but is quite predictable. Arrows become useless when power shielded as your opponents approach your lag. To counter that, pit can easily jump and space his arrows also changing the timing making power shielding and approaching harder. I believe this strategy is a staple strategy for pit. Any opponents attempting to approach is easily predicted and less common moves like Ftilt can hit more often.
This is the best example I can find:

Never mind the tricks and B sticking, the simple concept is what I'm getting at.
Zoning with this strategy because your opponent is at a disadvantage from jumping and approaching. Even character like wario are predictable aerial dodges can be punished with a empty jump, him assuming your arrow lag. Your control of possible attack is too great.
Conclusion: I see that a lot of pits refuse to think of them selves as campy and rush right in. But without that, most of wouldn't know how to fight up close as well. Just don't forget about our staple strategy.
