"Wing-renew": how to get more out of Pit's "Wings of Icarus"

You better have annotations on.

This was recorded with a camera pointed (slanted upward) at a small TV. The video illustrates what has been dubbed "wing-renewing". "Wing-renewing" is an "advanced technique" (tactic), for "Pit" (character), in the fighting game "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" for the Nintendo Wii.

"Wing-renewing" is the act of touching the ground while using the "Wings of Icarus" ("WoI") (blue wings). The act "renews" your jumps; after cancelling the WoI (in the air) (with an aerial attack (C-stick or (directional) A-button)), you regain your ability to use your second jumps (multi-jumps, wing-flaps) and third jump (the WoI). So, you have longer unbroken air-time to burn.

Step-by-step guide on how to efficiently "wing-renew" (for maximum air-time):
1. Jump (tap X or Y).
2. As soon as you leave the ground, (like a "wave-dash") activate the "Wings of Icarus".
3. Touch the ground in this state (active WoI). It sucks when you think you've "wing-renewed", but you were too hasty on this step, and find no jumps with which to recover. Efficiently enough from step 2, you don't have to wait to drop and touch the ground.
4. Fly (cancel the first WoI with an attack, jump thrice, then activate your second available (and "wing-refreshed") WoI).
5. Attack (specials can't interrupt) before your Wings of Icarus ends so you don't free-fall.
6. ???
7. Profit!

Some uses include, but are not limited to, using it to edge-guard better, surmounting the walls of Shadow Moses Island and escaping danger (e.g., Pikmin & Olimar's Final Smash).

"Wing-refreshing" is holding off on/delaying the use of the "Wings of Icarus" (B-up, up-B, up-special, "third" jump, blue wings) again after you've just previously used the WoI, so you can avoid "wing-fatigue". "Wing-fatigue" is the effect of the shortened length of the WoI caused by using/activating the WoI immediately after having just cancelled/been using them (before) (i.e., two uses/usages too close (together)).

I wasn't aware you could fly and attack and fly again.

[Dihgal]

@leonzchannelz Only after you wing-renew.

Pit's Nickname is "Kid Icarus".

0:38... hmm....?? Why?

[hellmonkey500]

All those comments about the Bikini Girl ARE relivant, considering that it is part of the video. If there was no picture, the comments would not be rlivant. But since there is one, they are relivant.

[Pikafan2132]

@shadowing00 That girl is on the end of the video too.

[TheFishSnacks]
