(This looks clunky and I'm of the opinion that the "shares character slot with" part should only be used if the characters are directly linked in terms of gameplay, such as transforming characters.)

'''Dark Pit''' ({{ja|ブラックピット|Burakku Pitto}}, ''Black Pit'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018] alongside fellow ''Kid Icarus'' fighters {{SSBU|Pit}} and {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and the rest of the returning roster. Dark Pit is {{SSBU|Pit}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #28<sup>ε</sup>]].

Dark Pit is {{SSBU|Pit}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #28<sup>ε</sup>]].


Antony Del Rio and Minami Takayama's portrayals of Dark Pit from ''SSB4'' were repurposed for the English and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'', respectively, with the former once again remaining uncredited. However, they both provide new voice clips for certain [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversations.

However, they both provide new voice clips for certain [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversations.
 
Dark Pit, alongside his base fighter Pit, are ranked 41st out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing them in the B- tier. This is a slight rise for them compared to their 32nd out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''.

All in all, in line with Dark Pit's Idol description in ''Uprising'', the [[icaruspedia:Dark Pit|"flawed clone of Pit"]] is a more difficult character to use projectile-wise due to his stronger, inaccurate projectile, but brings a different finishing tool in the form of Electroshock Arm, which can grant him opportunities to net KOs in the form of hard punishes. Nevertheless, Dark Pit's differences from Pit are not all that significant (similarly to fellow Echo Fighters {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Richter}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}), and it is largely up to the player to decide whether to use Pit or Dark Pit during battle, since both are traditional "all-rounders" with a more notable preference towards edgeguarding and recovery.

Much like Pit, Dark Pit's results and representation have not been particularly impressive compared to many other characters.


==Differences from {{SSBU|Pit}}==
==Differences from {{SSBU|Pit}}==
As in ''SSB4'', Dark Pit is almost completely identical to {{SSBU|Pit}}. Unlike in ''SSB4'', he no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a smaller neutral finisher; because of these changes, he now has a completely identical non-special moveset to his original counterpart, with the only mechanical differences between him and Pit being his neutral special ([[Silver Bow]]), side special ([[Electroshock Arm]]), and Final Smash ([[Dark Pit Staff]]). These mechanical differences, while few, are fairly notable: Silver Bow's arrows are faster and stronger but have reduced control, making them more useful as standard projectiles than for edgeguarding or zoning; Electroshock Arm launches at a lower angle, making it better at the edge as a KOing move than Upperdash Arm, but worse from across the stage; and Dark Pit Staff fires a long beam instead of being a focused attack like [[Lightning Chariot]], making it better for catching multiple opponents scattered around, but the move has less power to compensate.

While Dark Pit's differences are more significant compared to some [[Echo Fighters]] (such as {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|Richter}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}), they are marginal compared to others (such as {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and {{SSBU|Ken}}). Effectively, this makes Dark Pit interchangeable with Pit, with the choice between either in each [[match-up]] being dictated mainly by the opponent's ability to deal with their respective neutral specials and, to a much lesser extent, side specials.
Dark Pit's differences, while sometimes significant, are often considered to be marginal enough to not affect his viability in most situations, including competitive play. Aside from matchups or stages where either character's special moves would prove useful, choosing Dark Pit over Pit is entirely up to personal preference.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Much like {{SSBU|Pit}}, Dark Pit has been [[buff]]ed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''.
Dark Pit has been [[buff]]ed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Much like {{SSBU|Pit}}, almost all aspects of Dark Pit's moveset have been improved, and he benefits from the changes to gameplay mechanics.


Dark Pit shares most of the same buffs with Pit. He has increased KO ability on several of his moves, toning down one of his previously largest weaknesses in ''SSB4''. His aerial game has notably improved thanks to a combination of more damage and power, and lower [[landing lag]], and [[Silver Bow]] has less lag, both changes of which improve his neutral game. His grounded game has also become more consistent and useful. Lastly, Dark Pit largely benefits from the universal changes in ''Ultimate'', with the changes to [[air dodge]]s making his edgeguarding game even stronger, and the faster mobility and ability to use any attack out of a run making his offensive game more reliable.

Lastly, Dark Pit largely benefits from the universal changes in ''Ultimate'', with the changes to [[air dodge]]s making his edgeguarding game even stronger, and the faster mobility and ability to use any attack out of a run making his offensive game more reliable, which was a previously large weakness from ''SSB4''.


Among Dark Pit's unique buffs are those to his Silver Bow and [[Electroshock Arm]]: the former is a much more reliable projectile for KOing and edgeguarding, as it deals more damage and fired arrows travel faster, and they send at a much lower angle; meanwhile, the latter also sends at an even lower angle, slightly improving its KOing ability. Additionally, Dark Pit no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a less consistent finisher on his neutral attack, making his non-special moveset completely identical to his original counterpart.

Additionally, Dark Pit no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a less consistent finisher on his neutral attack, making his non-special moveset completely identical to his original counterpart.


Dark Pit has, however, also received a few nerfs that are shared with Pit, such as his [[Guardian Orbitars]] having less HP and shrinking the more time they're held out; [[Power of Flight]] halting completely before he can move, slightly worsening his recovery; and his grabs having more lag, standarizing them in comparison to the cast. He also retains many of his previous weaknesses from ''SSB4''.

Altogether, Dark Pit's moveset has been strengthened as a whole and he now boasts a better offensive game while keeping his good defensive game, and the universal changes give him more opportunities to gain the advantage. However, he still lacks noteworthy attributes (outside of his edgeguarding ability) which, along with many veterans either being buffed to varying degrees and/or benefitting from the universal changes, means that while Dark Pit fares much better than he did in ''SSB4'', he has not improved significantly relative to the cast. Like his original counterpart, Dark Pit has seen minimal tournament representation and results in the early metagame of ''Ultimate'', leading to the same increasingly negative reception he had received during ''SSB4'', though he has a small playerbase in the form of players such as {{sm|KiraFlax}}.
Altogether, Dark Pit's moveset has been strengthened as a whole and he now boasts a better offensive game while keeping his good defensive game, and the universal changes give him more opportunities to gain the advantage. However, he still lacks noteworthy attributes (outside of his edgeguarding ability) and carries many of his previous weaknesses from ''SSB4'', which isn't helped by many veterans either being buffed to varying degrees and/or benefitting from the universal changes. Much like his original counterpart, however, Dark Pit has received buffs from game updates that have helped fix some inconsistencies or given him new options, letting him moderately keep up with the rest of the cast. In the end, Dark Pit is a much better character than in ''SSB4''.

*In the [[World of Light]] trailer, Dark Pit is seen losing his [[Power of Flight]] with the loss of {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and his wings glow blue during use. This is unlike the in-game move, where his wings use a green glow, which occurs when the ability is granted by [[Viridi]].

*Dark Pit’s inclusion as a separate character as opposed to an alternative costume in SSB4 was originally due to the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] belonging to Pit and Sakurai deeming it unfitting for the weapons to be used by him. The [[Lightning Chariot]] that replaces Pit’s old Final Smash, however, has been used by both Dark Pit and Pit, thus defeating the original purpose of separating the two characters. The reason for Dark Pit's re-inclusion is likely due to ''Ultimate'''s goal of bringing all previous characters back into a singular game.
**On a related note, Dark Pit is the only Echo Fighter to appear in the World of Light opening.

**All three of these characters are dopplegängers of their original counterparts, while Dark Pit possesses both darkness (like Dark Samus) and anti-heroic traits (like Wario) at the same time.
