First a palette swap, then a character in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Pit is now a fully-fledged fighter in Smash Bros. As a literal clone of Pit, most of Dark Pit's attributes and moves are identical to Pit, making these two characters very similar to each other. Dark Pit has few differences from Pit, with changes done only to his Strong Side Attack, Neutral and Side Specials, Final Smash and aesthetic features. Thus, he also shares Pit's strengths and weaknesses, having good ways to rack up damage, a great recovery, and poor KO options. Dark Pit is almost interchangeable with Pit, so mastering one character will make you proficient in the other. Whether you like Dark Pit's minute adjustments or his attitude, this fallen angel will help you get an edge over your foes.

Basic Attributes
Dark Pit is a middleweight, fitting his jack-of-all-trades status. His stats are exactly the same as Pit, with an average dash and air speed. Dark Pit has 3 midair jumps, which lets him increase the distance of his recovery and helps him extend offstage for edgeguards, or to avoid getting edgeguarded as well. His jumps are moderately floaty as well. Dark Pit's rolls are also quite fast in either direction. As a general note, whenever Dark Pit's attacks has a sweetspot, his bow will glow brightly whenever you connect with it.

Final Smash - Dark Pit Staff
Dark Pit takes out the Dark Pit Staff, his signature weapon, then fires a piercing shot that travels the length of the screen instantly. Any enemies in front of Dark Pit will be hit for immense damage and diagonal knockback, the power of the move decreasing slightly with each subsequent player sniped. While Dark Pit's attacks are mainly recycled from Pit's, his Final Smash is heavily inspired by Zelda's Light Arrow. It is one of the strongest Final Smashes in the game, and is quite easy to land due to the staff's extreme range. Try to catch multiple opponents with one shot. While every player after the first will take reduced knockback and damage, it is still strong enough to KO very early.
