“	Dark Pit is Pit's echo fighter. His abilities are mostly the same as Pit's, but his hair and clothes are different colors, he summons different weapons, and celebrates victory to a different tune.	”

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• Dark Pit retains his Kid Icarus: Uprising appearance. His clothing and wings now feature simple detailing, and like Pit, his eyes and hair appear more detailed.
• Dark Pit's idle animation has been slightly altered.
• Dark Pit's down and side taunts are performed faster.
• Dark Pit's expression when Screen KO'd is now identical to Pit's.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Dark Pit's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• Dark Pit dashes much faster.

Special Moves

• Dark Pit can act out of Electroshock Arm faster if it connects.
• He always shouts "Electroshock!" when using Electroshock Arm. His other voice clip is used when he activates the Power of Flight.
• Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.
• Guardian Orbitars will shrink the longer they are held out.

Role in World of Light

Dark Pit was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of Master Hands.

Dark Pit was present when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. He was flying alongside Pit to escape the beams, but after Palutena was vaporized, they lost their Power of Flight and fell victim to the beams as well. They were both transformed into spirits along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

Trivia

• Dark Pit and Lucina are the first and only full clones to retain their full clone status in two games in a row.
• In the World of Light trailer, Dark Pit is seen losing his Power of Flight with the loss of Palutena, and his wings glow blue during use. This is unlike the ingame move, where his wings use a green glow, which occurs when the ability is granted by Viridi.
