Speculation (SSBB)[edit]

I removed this passage from the article: Most, if not all, of Pit's attacks and traits in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are based on his abilities in Kid Icarus and the legendary treasures he gains in each level which are used in the final level to greatly increase his power, such as the wings that allow him to fly.

While this is likely to be true there's no way of verifying this as the game is still being developed and has not yet been presented for anyone to play outside of the development studio. --Ryuukuro 15:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sequal speculation[edit]

I removed this part of the page "Also Pit might return in the Nintendo Wii rumored title Kid Icarus Wii, as the starring role."

He might also return in an upcoming Street fighter game, but that's not very varifiable either. I know Miyamoto has made comments on a possible revival, and I suppose that and that alone might be worth noting, but there is no such title, tentative or otherwise, called Kid Icarus Wii, as far as we know. It's just a rumour, and rumours are not the type of thing Wikipedia should be spreading. Xubelox 01:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article change[edit]

I think this article should be at Pit (Nintendo) because:

I disagree. The article would be better off as Pit (Kid Icarus) because:

LOL @ your "a featured article" comment. As if naming convention had anything to do with whether a article got featured or not - it has absolutely no bearing. It just so happenst that Wikipedians did more work with citing references and the such on for that article as opposed to other articles. Hbdragon88 05:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I concede. I suppose "Pit" is vague enough to require more disambiguation just like Link (Legend of Zelda) did. I've asked for a speedy move to Pit (Kid Icarus); let's hope it happens, otherwise I'll ahve to submit it to WP:RM. Hbdragon88 18:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion in N64 title?[edit]

  • "Pit was planned to be included in Super Smash Bros. but because of the sucess of Pokemon he was replaced by Jigglypuff."

What is the source on this? Kflester 17:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe there is a source on this information anyway. Best off to delete it. 124.182.156.211 15:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Far too many images[edit]

There are far too many fair use images in this article. One image to display what the character looks like is acceptable, and perhaps others to display their appearance within other games, but not this many. I am removing the gallery, and I urge other editors to have a think about which of these images are really needed in the article. J Milburn 15:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Left-Handed?[edit]

Yet he's holding the bow in his right? Pluvia 14:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, when firing a bow, you hold it in your offhand, and pull the string with your main hand. Machee 03:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted[edit]

Is Pit copyrighted???? Mr. Mario 192 17:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Does it particularly matter? Treynate2 20:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pierrot[edit]

The reference to Pierrot hardly seems "obvious" as the article currently claims. The Pierrot article it links to provides no information that would support it. Unless this is clarified or validated by some reference, I would recommend removing it.Brinmat (talk) 08:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I have no idea what this 'obvious' reference is. I support it's removal from the article. Doktor Waterhouse (talk) 02:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

14[edit]

i herd that he is now 14 years old do you think its true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.96.255 (talk) 19:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional characters who can fly
Comments? - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Already covered here. Notice how Angel is set up? He only needed to be categorized as a Marvel Comics angel to be added there. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Alright, since there is opposition, I'll ask - what reason exists for this article to be a separate article? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Negative" reception[edit]

Um... the Dan Ryckert article that was cited as negative reception was clearly a joke. The first two entries on the linked page have him speculating on videogames starring The Riddler and John Madden. And the Wrench from Wrecking Crew is on the list for goodness sake. As for Pit he says this:

"Nintendo mined its archives when selecting characters for its fighting-game mashup, which made the inclusion of Pit even more puzzling. With decades of classic games to draw from, why did Nintendo choose to create one from scratch? If they had a hole in their roster, why not try to fill it with a third-party mascot like Chuck Rock or Bubsy? Is he supposed to be a flying gladiator? What’s with that bow? One thing’s for sure: Let’s hope Nintendo has learned its lesson from Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s lukewarm response and we never see Pit in a solo game."

He's clearly feigning ignorance of Kid Icarus, calling Pit an "original character." Then he goes on to humorously suggest Chuck Rock or Bubsy be included instead. If he knew about both those characters, then of course he knows about Pit. It's obvious that he's satirizing the fact that Nintendo has not made a Kid Icarus game in twenty years. Yet the article is cited as serious criticism, when it is exactly the opposite. --Jtalledo (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, where does he call Pit an original character? It seems to me he's criticising his design, and "Let’s hope Nintendo has learned its lesson from Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s lukewarm response and we never see Pit in a solo game." is hardly jokey. There's a difference between being sarcastic and joking around. Harry Blue5 (talk) 22:15, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, I get the original character bit. Yeah, he's being sarcastic about the fact they totally had to redesign him and stuff. It's irony, it's still valid negative reception. Harry Blue5 (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He's not referring to the redesign. He's alluding to the fact that Nintendo hasn't used the character in ages, so people might not know who he is. At any rate, since he's joking, there's no way to take him seriously. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:03, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Look, sarcarsm is still reception. For instance: "Oh yes, I just love how that bully punches me in the face." As that statement makes clear, he obviously doesn't like being punched in the face by a bully. Harry Blue5 (talk) 11:40, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's a completely different example. We don't know if this guy Ryckert likes the character or not from the context, especially since he's joking. So, it shouldn't be mentioned in the article as reception. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:08, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point, but we don't know if he's joking either. The basic fact is, he listed him as one of the characters who don't deserve their own games. That, in itself, is genuine reception. Rewriting the sentence wouldn't be out of the question, though. Harry Blue5 (talk) 17:45, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rewriting is a good idea. I'm all for including it, if it is mentioned that the list also includes John Madden and the Wrench from Wrecking Crew. Maybe it could be paraphrased. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:57, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
