Explaining Pit's Pitiful Hitboxes (Smash Ultimate)

After tons of requests we are finally taking a look at pit's hitboxes. Pit is one of those characters that are quite infamous when it comes to hitboxes. But not necessary for the reason you'd think. Instead of the hit hitboxes being very good, as is usually the case. These hitboxes are actually not so great. But I won't spoil it here. Because that is why I made a video about it, you know.

[@grotto185]

@@kerokerocola99 so... screw pit/dark pit?

[@Edgeperor]

Johnny Joestar Let me warn you, the following is long as heck, and covers every multi-hit Lucas has. Read at your own sanity’s risk. N-air is ok, but can drop opponents. D-air is definitely a good multi-hit, and being a multi-hit actually makes it way better than it would’ve been if it wasn’t, because you can really drag people to near the blastzone and just kill at 0. Up-Smash doesn’t even feel like a real multi-hit, but I feel the need to mention it because sometimes weird stuff does happen and only the scoop hits. However, I feel like the size of the scoop hitbox is definitely compensation for not working a tiny fraction of time. That thing has nearly the same range as his F-Smash. D-Smash is only supposed to be a multi-hit on shields, but if you get the spacing right, you can connect two of the hits for some pretty sick damage. PK Fire is actually a double-hit. Not much more to say, but it does break Focus Attack’s armor. PK Thunder 1 has increased edgeguarding potential because of it not disappearing on hit, and it also makes it impossible to do the classic Ness edgeguard for all characters except for characters with an absorber or (to a lesser extent) reflector. However, PK Thunder 2 is where the good ends. It does a lot of damage, yeah, but you’ll rarely ever connect it all. Though it is, of course, an attack, it’s first and foremost a recovery option, so you almost always do it straight to the ledge, since it has a weird amount of landing lag and Lucas has a terrible ledge grab range in freefall. Seriously. Many times I’ve tried to get to ledge after recovering, just to fall straight past a ledge so close it looks like Lucas could reasonably just reach out and touch it. It isn’t ok. But anyways, PK Thunder 2 has an annoying tendency to snap to ledge before it does any of the damage it’s supposed to be good for. “Well why not use it onstage?” I don’t know, ask Sakurai why you’re forced to go 3/4 the length Final Destination every time you want to use it! Since PK Thunder 1 cannot go through the stage, you can’t angle PK Thunder 2 up at all, so it must always go straight left or right, and while Ness may be hurt by his shorter PK Thunder 2 length when he’s recovering, it gives him the ability to PK Thunder into somebody whenever he wants to onstage. “Well if it’s this much harder to pull off, it must do some insane knockback, right? Maybe even more than Ness!” No. “Equal to Ness?” Not even close. “60%?” No. “80?” No. “100?!” No. “120?!” Only if you’re lucky. Yeah. 120%. That’s about 80% more than Ness. Just to compare, all of Lucas’ smash attacks kill earlier, and in the case of up and down smash, WAY earlier. Every one of Lucas’ throws except Down Throw kill just one Down-air later than PK Thunder 2 does, and grab is way less situational *and* easier to land than PK Thunder 2. Back-Throw kills around the same percent actually. Lucas really does have a lot of moves that kill near 140, so I’ll just list them all off. F-tilt, Dash Attack, F-air, PK Fire, Up-air, B-air, (onstage, the spike obviously kills way earlier offstage. Also, fun fact: Lucas B-air and the Funny Forward Aerial™️ actually have the same knockback. Wouldn’t be too interesting if it was just the same knockback as somebody else’s meteor, but it’s funny that it’s the same as *the* funny move) and though I’m not fully sure, I think that Up-tilt does too. That’s a lot of stuff that’s all WAY safer and kills near the same percent. Also, I forgot about PK Freeze, which kills at 80%. I really don’t know know why I did this to myself for over an hour, especially since it’s my birthday and I have Melee in all it’s broken glory just waiting for me to play it. Normally I wouldn’t really want people to comment happy birthday, but if you’ve read all of this, I think you deserve to do whatever you want and comment whatever you want too. Cool.

[@TheBriguy1998]

He's actually not very fast at all. If Pit had good air and ground speed he would actually be a very good character despite some of his lackluster hitboxes, but in reality, he's kinda slow.

Brian Muir He’s only slow in the air

Honestly, the biggest issue with Pit's hitboxes is not that they are all multihits. Those can easily be fixed, they have fixed quite a number of multihit moves. Is the fact that Pit's hitboxes are actually quite...small and have inconsistent weird properties to them. Like why are they afraid of using multilink hitboxes, why the hitboxes don't cover the whole sword, why is Pit fixed into having these weird "straight" boxes instead of having disjoints like actual swordies... If they could standarize Pit into his actual archetype, fix his multihits and perhaps add some extra flavor to his moves, he could be such a good character...

Another thing to mention is how pit-iful his Down Air spike hitbox is in when connecting with a grounded opponent.

It is literally the only thing I care about them fixing with this character despite most of the other things you brought to attention in this video

[@laggalot1012]

I was waiting for this one... I suppose Pit's hitboxes aren't necessarily inaccurate for the most part (though a few could stand to be extended to cover his entirely blade), but most of them are just really small and tight. For what is essentially a sword fighter, you see almost none of the usual vertical swipes represented in his hitboxes that you see with most of the others. I feel like F-tilt could stand to hit higher, for example. And Pit really struggled to hit most grounded opponents with aerials, too. It's a bit depressing to see how even actually having swords does not afford him all that much reach. This is also compounded by the fact that Pit is just plain weak. Awfully few of his moves feel like they do the damage and knockback they should, in my opinion.

[@thatmate4672]

I tend to try and use the poor hitboxes in my favor. Since the hitboxes don't connect properly the opponent may not expect to be freed from the move. I can then just try and send aother attack at them, This causes them to panic when they realize they are free and that I am throwing another move, which usually results in a defensive move like airdodge, shield, etc. The hitboxes are consistently inconsistent. If I know when a move won't properly connect I can act fast to bait an action from the opponent that does not expect the move to properly connect.

[@genepeebody303]

Nair when falling downwards during an edgeguard and up-tilt on platforms are the only things I see problems in Edit: back after 2 months and I feel the exact same way. Personally, the only thing I'd buff as far as multihit go is up-tilt's connection issues. Dthrow - up-tilt is a consistent combo.... That doesn't work on shotos or some other characters ever because they consistently fall out of it. Other than that, fair and filt need to be bigger.

Dark Pit would be easily be top-tier if his Sweetspots took priority.. His 2 best moves (bair and dair) just don't work consistently. He might still be high-tier after all the buffs though. He can confirm pretty much anything into Up Air now and has a ton of combos and confirms on drag down aerials. Pit is just inferior unless you can gimp a character with his arrows, but I rarely use Arrows on the Pits in ultimate anyways. Also Pit's Aerial uppercut is too weak and isn't even safe on hit in a lot of situations.

People tend to underrate them because the pitboxes don't work "a lot of the time", when it really isn't the case. The clips you see from twitter or wherever here and there happen only a very small amount, really. The ones in the video are a thing, yes. But in an actual match, they work quite well and help with drag downs/combo extenders

@Axis of Resistance Comrade yeah, basically. The f-smash thing is probably due to the second hit being frame 21, so that's kinda slow compared to the move itself, since the first hit is frame 10. I do wish that they didn't make the orbitars shrink and for the side b reflectorbox to hit straight

There's i-frames on on the (dark) Pit's taunt (I don't remember wich either dark or normal or the taunt)
