Compared to Pit's old recovery, [[Wings of Icarus]], which was arguably one of the most mobile recoveries in ''Brawl'', Power of Flight does not give Pit as much freedom of movement and acts as a quick single direction recovery, unlike Wings of Icarus which gave Pit full flight for 3 seconds. However, Power of Flight cannot be easily [[gimp]]ed like its ''Brawl'' counterpart, as it can be re-used if the user is hit, and gives a massive amount of vertical height, still making it one of the best recoveries in the game.

*'''Power of Flight''': Default.
*'''Power of Flight''': Default.
*'''Striking Flight''': The angle of the Power of Flight is restricted to only slightly left or right, and mainly travels upward, reducing horizontal recovery. When Pit hits an opponent during the move, 6% to 9% is inflicted on the foe, making them flinch. This is ideal to prevent the opponent from attacking them mid-recovery. Dark Pit deals slightly more knockback and 0.5% more damage compared to Pit.{{Main|Pit (SSB4)/Up special/Custom 1}}{{Main|Dark Pit (SSB4)/Up special/Custom 1}}

Dark Pit deals slightly more knockback and 0.5% more damage compared to Pit.
*'''Breezy Flight''': The distance covered is reduced, limiting recovery. The Power of Flight starts up quickly, and is executed faster. It has a strong [[push]] effect on anyone near Pit or Dark Pit, pushing the opponent a sizable distance away. This makes it ideal for avoiding an opponent's attack during recovery by pushing them away.{{Main|Pit (SSB4)/Up special/Custom 2}}{{Main|Dark Pit (SSB4)/Up special/Custom 2}}

Line 46: Line 40:
The Power of Flight originates from ''Kid Icarus Uprising''. As Pit cannot fly on his own, [[Palutena]] (and [[Viridi]] during the {{s|icaruspedia|Chaos Kin}} arc) grant him this power. However, it could only be used for five minutes; any longer, and Pit's wings would burn up. This consequence was shown in Chapter 21 when even though he already used the Power of Flight for that much time, he wanted to use it again to save Dark Pit from the remains of the Chaos Kin.

Unlike Pit, Dark Pit had the ability to fly freely  in ''Uprising'' after his wings absorbed the remains of {{s|icaruspedia|Pandora}}. However, he lost the ability in Chapter 22 when Pandora revived herself by using the Rewind Spring. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Pit's Power of Flight is granted by Palutena while Dark Pit's Power of Flight is granted by Viridi as signaled by the colored trails on their wings.
