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. | As in ''SSB4'', Dark Pit is almost completely identical to {{SSBU|Pit}}.

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. | |||
