I know your having a hard time about the Pit issue, and I know many people have to see it before they believe it. There really is nothing I can prove to you about Pit's placement. He didn't really deserve to get such a high placement THIS tier list, but as Shaya said, the placement in the respective tier is what counted, not the actual placement.
Our best Pit in tournament placings is Koolaid atm. He got 9th/115 @ Virdian City, and has placed 1st many times in his region. Vex is getting really good too. He placed 5th @ Ktar, and he picked Pit up 2 weeks prior to that event. Our previous best Pit(Danny) had placed top 3 in all of the FL events. We also have A LOT of high placements in our tournament results thread. Most are pretty old, but even at the beginning of brawl, he was getting top 3.
All I can do is link you to some good Pit vids if you don't mind.
Danny(Pit) vs HRnut(Snake) - I know its old, but its still good and demonstrates some of Pit's finer qualities.
Masashi(Pit) vs RAIN(Falco) - shows that Pit can compete w/ a A tier characters, and is not disadvantaged in any aspect.
OCEAN(ROB) VS Masashi(Pit) -I think this is a nice match, Pit can be played extremely safe and I think this is a good demonstration.
Vex(Pit) vs Bnzaaa(ICs) - Vex proves Pit's gay side in this video. He times them out ^_^
All of these players are a lot better than me, and I'm trying hard to improve my own skill level while improving the reputation of Pit. I hope this helped you at least a little in trying to figure out how Pit is so good. If you have any advice on how to improve, I would appreciate it. I'm really open to new ideas on strats, improving, and what not.
