A similar kind of weapon, called Palutena's Arrow, is useable by Pit as his neutral special attack. The arrow can be curved in mid-flight to attack mobile foes (though particularly agile ones can avoid easily), or even looped into a 360 degree angle. It can be charged by holding the B button, but Pit wil eventually fire the arrow automatically. The weapon itself however, is not particularly strong; it lacks knock-out power. On the other hand, Palutena's Arrow can be quite deadly on Sudden Death matches, as it can KO lighter weight characters when fully charged.
