Article on Icaruspedia | Dark Pit |
Dark Pit (ブラックピット, Black Pit), is a character from the Kid Icarus series. He is a rival and clone of Pit, created after Pit destroyed the Mirror of Truth. He is almost physically identical to Pit, but wears a black outfit, has black hair and red eyes. He also has a more serious and aggressive personality.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
One of Pit's palette swap in this game is a black colored Pit described on Smash Bros. DOJO as a "fallen angel".[1] However, since Brawl predates the true debut of Dark Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising, it is likely this design became the basis for his creation, especially since both games are directed by Masahiro Sakurai (whose redesigns of Pit and Palutena in Brawl also went on to be used in Uprising.)
In Super Smash Bros. 4
- Main article: Dark Pit (SSB4)
Dark Pit briefly appeared at the end of Palutena's reveal trailer and in the background of her promotional poster, and was later revealed as a playable character. He functions mostly as a clone of Pit.
In addition, Dark Pit was originally planned to be an alternate costume of Pit, but received his own character slot due to the fact that Sakurai wanted Dark Pit to have his own Final Smash, and because of his unique arm.
Trophies
Trophy descriptions
- 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.
