Dark Pit is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4, being an unlockable newcomer. Dark Pit was teased before release, being shown in Palutena's reveal trailer. He was officially confirmed on October 9, 2014, but was leaked beforehand on September 11th by a leaker's Twitch stream. His profile art matches that of a previous leak. He is a clone of Pit, and shares many moves with him, including Upperdash Arm (using the Electroshock Arm instead for his version), Guardian Orbitars and Power of Flight.
How To Unlock
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
- Play 50 VS Matches.
- Complete Classic Mode 3 times.
Dark Pit must then be defeated in Reset Bomb Forest.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
- Complete All-Star Mode on normal.
- Play 40 VS Matches.
Dark Pit must then be fought on Palutena's Temple where beating him unlocks him.
Attributes
Dark Pit is a clone of Pit, and thus shares many attributes with him. Dark Pit does, however, have some gameplay differences, mostly in his special attacks. His Silver Bow arrows, once shot, cannot be aimed as well as Pit. He also uses the Electroshock Arm rather than the Upperdash Arm that Pit uses.
Differences from Pit
- Dark Pit's Silver Bow arrows deal 2% more damage than Pit's Palutena's Arrows at full charge.
- Dark Pit's Silver Bow also has slightly more knockback than Pit's Palutena's Arrow.
- However, it is slightly slower.
- Dark Pit's arrows have less range and cannot be guided as dynamically as Pit's.
- Dark Pit has no light rings to charge up his arrow.
- Electroshock Arm deals strong horizontal knockback which KO's sooner than Pit's Upperdash Arm if hitting foes off the side blast zones of the stage. It also does 0.5% more damage.
- However, it has less vertical KO power.
- Electroshock Arm also has the electric effect.
- Forward tilt deals less knockback.
- Dark Pit's Final Smash is different.
- Dark Pit's victory theme and poses (including quotes), and taunts are different.
- His "NO CONTEST" pose is also different.
Moveset
Ground Attacks
Normal Attacks
- Neutral attack - Slashes three times, twice horizontally, and once vertically in quick succession. If the A button is pressed repeatedly, Dark Pit will do the first two hits, but slash multiple times and finish with a vertical swipe instead.
- Dash attack - Slashes bow towards the ground.
- Forward tilt - Closes both blades in on his opponent for a scissor slash, before backing off.
- Up tilt - Backflips and kicks in the air, before correcting himself and kicking again.
- Down tilt - Crouches and swipes the bow around the ground.
Smash Attacks
- Forward smash - A weak slash followed immediately by a very strong slash.
- Up smash - Three quick slashes above his head. The final strike is the slowest and has all the knockback.
- Down smash - Slashes toward the ground in front of and behind him. Similar to Link's down smash.
Other Attacks
- Ledge attack - Flips onto the platform and kicks the opponent.
- Floor attack - Gets up and slashes around him.
Aerial attacks
- Neutral aerial - Spins bow in front of him, hitting multiple times.
- Forward aerial - Spins his bow in front of him, causing multiple hits.
- Back aerial - Thrusts both blades behind him.
- Up aerial - Spins his bow together above his head, again hitting multiple times.
- Down aerial - Slashes anyone underneath him.
Grabs and Throws
- Note: When pummeling an opponent, Dark Pit's bow briefly leaves his hand and is most likely a glitch.
- Pummel - Knees the opponent in their midsection. A very fast pummel.
- Forward throw - Holds his opponent in front of him before slashing them away.
- Back throw - Twirls around with the enemy in tow, slamming them on the ground and launches the opponent backward.
- Up throw - Does a handstand and kicks the opponent with both feet.
- Down throw - Slams opponent on the ground and slashes their back.
Special Moves
- Neutral special has Dark Pit fire a dark arrow from his Silver Bow at his opponent. The arrow can be angled.
- Side special has Dark Pit use the Electroshock Arm, dashing towards his opponent and launching them upwards.
- Up special has Dark Pit use the Power of Flight. It functions like Pit's version of the move.
- Down special has Dark Pit use the Guardian Orbitars, which are used to reflect attacks.
- Dark Pit's Final Smash has him fire a high powered laser from his Dark Pit Staff, which in most cases can One-hit KO. Similar to Zelda/Sheik's Light Arrow.

Side Special | Electroshock Arm | Electrocut Arm | Quickshock Arm |

Alternate costumes
Trophies
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions
Dark Pit's regular trophy can be obtained by completing Classic Mode with him and his alternative trophy can be obtained by completing All-Star mode with him.
- Dark Pit
- NA: Pit's mysterious, black-clad doppelgänger, Dark Pit. (Some call him Pittoo, but he really doesn't like that.) When he first appears, he immediately goes after both Pit and the Underworld Army. In Smash Bros., he uses moves a lot like Pit's, though both his bow and his Sacred Treasures are different.
- PAL: Pit's black-winged doppelgänger. Dark Pit, aka Pittoo (although he's not exactly fond of being called that), looks like Pit, moves like Pit and uses very similar attacks. He's a lot more aggressive, though, and doesn't take orders from anyone. He also has his own weapons, like his Silver Bow.
- Dark Pit (Alt.)
- NA: Dark Pit's Guardian Orbitars special puts up shields of light on either side of you to block attacks, deflect projectiles, and push back any enemies who are too close. You can even use the shields to protect against attacks from above and below. If they take too many hits, though, they'll vanish and become unusable for a while.
- PAL: Dark Pit's Guardian Orbitars special puts up shields of light on either side of you to block attacks, deflect projectiles, and push back any enemies who are too close. You can even use the shields to protect against attacks coming from slightly above or below you. If they take too many hits, though, they'll vanish and become unusable for a while.

Trivia
- Dark Pit is the only newcomer to be shown in another fighter's reveal trailer, but not to be revealed as a fighter with splash art and a tagline. This caused many to believe that Dark Pit was the boss character for Palutena's Temple or an alternate costume for Pit (with Sakurai even stating that all clone characters were originally costumes).
- Dark Pit and Rosalina & Luma are the only characters with a different victory theme that isn't a remix of their universe's original victory theme.
- Dark Pit is the only full clone to have a completely different Final Smash compared to the character that was cloned.
- Dark Pit's crowd chant is a repeated chant of "Pittoo, Pittoo", and is one of the only chants not to contain the fighter's name. Pittoo is a nickname given to him by Palutena in Kid Icarus: Uprising, used often by herself, Pit, and other characters in the game, generally to Dark Pit's dismay.
- Dark Pit sometimes yells "It's not over...!" upon being KO'd. This makes Dark Pit one of four characters to yell a complete sentence upon being KO'd, alongside Robin, Pit, and Shulk.
- Dark Pit is one of the two characters not to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's opening movie, the other being Duck Hunt.
