[edit] Speculation (SSBB)

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)

[edit] Sequal speculation

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)

[edit] Article change

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

• In line with other articles like Toad (Nintendo) and Wart (Nintendo)
• No need to be so elaborate (such as the Kid Icarus name) - there is only one Pit. Wart (Nintendo) is named like so, instead of something like Wart (Super Mario Bros.)
• "Character" has long since been dropped from article titles; i.e. the game or franchise they cover is sufficient, such as Raiden (Metal Gear), or Persephone (The Matrix) instead of Persephone (Matrix character)

Thanks. Hbdragon88 04:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

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

• the charcter is often called "Kid Icarus"
• it is more precise than the generic "Nintendo" clarification
• it is in line with the naming of articles such as Link (Legend of Zelda) (a featured article, unlike Toad (Nintendo) and Wart (Nintendo))

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)

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)
