Nah, Marth is by far the cheapest.

^See? Generally, it's the good and/or popular characters that get hated on the most for being "cheap".

How is Marth cheap?

Pit's projectiles are too powerful for him. Pit's close range attacks are arguebly the best in the game. You can't give crazy powerful projectiles on top of that. That's like giving Ike Marth-like speed.

His over B combo seems to have priority over everything, has a wide range, and can be used over and over again in succession. When going up against Marth with a similar style character (fast with no ranged attacks, ala Fox), it's a pain getting around it. And then when you do get near him, all he does is counter.

And let's not get started on edge-guarding.
