“	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.	”
—Super Smash Blog, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site

Dark Pit (ブラックピット, Black Pit) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018. He is an Echo Fighter of Pit. Antony Del Rio once again reprises his role as Dark Pit in the English version of the game.

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 scarf is now the correct color.
• Dark Pit's down and side taunts are performed faster.

Ground attacks

• Neutral infinite's animation has changed. Dark Pit's bow no longer spins while fully formed, he now quickly slashes with the bow split in two.
• Neutral infinite connects better into the final hit, improving the move's utility.
• Dash attack's animation has been altered. Dark Pit lunges quicker, and the move travels further. It also deals significantly higher knockback.
• Forward smash second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.

Aerial attacks

• All aerial moves have reduced landing lag.
• Neutral aerial has a slightly longer duration.
• Forward and up aerial have increased knockback.
• Back air sourspot seems to be removed.
• Down air hitbox is bigger.

Special moves

• Silver Bow travels faster and has decreased endlag.
• Electroshock Arm has less endlag when falling off the ledge.
• Power of Flight can now grab the ledge when facing backwards.
• Power of Flight halts at the end of the move, reducing its recovery potential.
• Dark Pit will float for a little bit after the move, but that means he will be more vulnerable to attacks.
• Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.
