Power of Flight is Pit and Dark Pit's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4. After a brief charging period, Pit or Dark Pit launches himself in a chosen direction. Unlike similar special moves, the direction cannot be any downward angle.
Description from the 3DS version's foldout
"Fly through the air in any upward direction."
Origin
The Power of Flight originates from Kid Icarus Uprising. As Pit cannot fly on his own, Palutena (and Viridi during the 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 Pandora, but still uses the Power of Flight in Smash 4, possibly in reference to the time Viridi took control of Dark Pit.
