After initially being teased before release via {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s reveal trailer, Dark Pit was officially revealed by the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website on October 9th, 2014, alongside {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}. He is a moveset {{h1|clone|Clones in Super Smash Bros. 4}} of {{SSB4|Pit}} and, like Dr. Mario and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, Dark Pit was originally intended to be an alternate costume before being split off into his own character. In regard to Dark Pit, the reason for this was due to the oddity of him wielding the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] and the [[Electroshock Arm]] being already modeled.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/02/18/masahiro-sakurai-s-super-smash-bros-diaries.aspx?PostPageIndex=4</ref>. | ||
Just as in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', Dark Pit shares the same voice actors with Pit, with Antony Del Rio voicing him in English and Minami Takayama in Japanese, albeit with completely different voice clips as well as the former still remaining uncredited with his role. | Just as in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', Dark Pit shares the same voice actors with Pit, with Antony Del Rio voicing him in English and Minami Takayama in Japanese, albeit with completely different voice clips as well as the former still remaining uncredited with his role. | ||
Dark Pit, alongside his base fighter Pit, is ranked 32nd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the D tier. The number of differences between the Pits is miniscule, yet somewhat noticeable: Dark Pit's forward tilt is weaker than Pit's, while his [[Silver Bow]] is significantly less maneuverable than [[Palutena Bow]]. Conversely, Silver Bow is stronger than Palutena Bow, while Dark Pit's [[Electroshock Arm]] is a more reliable KOing option compared to Pit's [[Upperdash Arm]] | Dark Pit, alongside his base fighter Pit, is ranked 32nd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the D tier.

Outside of these differences, Dark Pit and Pit share the same primary strengths and weaknesses. Their damage racking and [[edgeguarding]] potentials are strong; they boast very good [[neutral game]]s; their respective {{s|icaruspedia|bows}} grant them disjointed ranges; and their recoveries are long-distanced. However, both Pits have unimpressive KO potentials, which forces them to be largely reliant on their forward smashes, forward throws, sweetspotted back aerials, Upperdash/Electroshock Arms and aggressive edge-guarding in order to score KOs. | Outside of these differences, Dark Pit and Pit share the same primary strengths and weaknesses.

Dark Pit is almost completely identical to Pit with minor differences. Dark Pit's [[Silver Bow]] fires stronger arrows than Pit's [[Palutena Bow]], but cannot be maneuvered as much as Pit's. [[Electroshock Arm]] deals more damage than Pit's [[Upperdash Arm]] and launches opponents at a horizontal angle as opposed to a vertical angle. This property allows the move to KO opponents earlier than Pit's when they are closer to the [[blast line]], but it will KO later than Pit's if they are further away from it. Dark Pit's neutral infinite has a smaller hitbox and his forward tilt has noticeably less knockback than Pit's. Dark Pit also has a different [[Final Smash]] called [[Dark Pit Staff]]. It functions identically to {{SSB4|Zelda}} and {{SSB4|Sheik}}'s [[Light Arrow]], firing a straight shot that will play a zoom in animation whenever it hits an opponent. | Dark Pit is almost completely identical to Pit with minor differences.

Overall, these changes don't significantly change how Pit and Dark Pit play from each other, with the choice between the two coming down to personal preference. This is also reflected on how they were viewed competitively.

This is also reflected on how they were viewed competitively. The two were often right next to each other on [[tier list]]s, until the final tier list where they share the same spot due to the agreed consensus that they are essentially the same character. | ||
