The first difference is Dark Pit's [[Silver Bow]]: compared to Pit's Palutena's Bow, Silver Bow's arrows travel in an almost fixed straight trajectory and can be only shifted slightly up and down. Their limited movement grant them significantly less utility overall, especially in regards to "sniping" offstage opponents and [[gimp]]ing them. Instead, they possess slightly higher overall damage, increased knockback, and speed when uncharged, which make them more rewarding when used as a more conventional projectile. In essence, Dark Pit's arrows are inferior to Pit's if a player solely uses them to pester opponents, but allow him to tack on more damage on opponents who are in a disadvantageous state. | The first difference is Dark Pit's [[Silver Bow]]: compared to Pit's Palutena's Bow, Silver Bow's arrows travel in an almost fixed straight trajectory and can be only shifted slightly up and down.

The second and more significant difference is his side special, [[Electroshock Arm]]. When compared, Electroshock Arm is significantly more powerful due to its higher damage, [[electric]] hitbox (which makes it safer on shield), and altered knockback scaling; when including its diagonal trajectory, it is easily capable of sending opponents offstage to edgeguard, and is a powerful tool for KOing, especially at the edges of a stage (where it can do so as early as 80%). Pit's Upperdash Arm is weaker due to its lower knockback growth and damage, KOing at around 150% | The second and more significant difference is his side special, [[Electroshock Arm]].

Pit's Upperdash Arm is weaker due to its lower knockback growth and damage, KOing at around 150%. However, its vertical trajectory allows it to set up juggles and KO consistently anywhere on the stage; its angle also makes it capable of KOing moderately early on stages with low ceilings. Hence, Electroshock Arm finds much more utility as a surprise KOing and edgeguarding tool, while Upperdash Arm is mostly limited to sending opponents into the air until high percentages. | ||
Dark Pit doesn't gain much benefit from his custom moves; only his neutral special really gains any benefit. Piercing Bow deals more damage and passes through rivals, but cannot be angled, giving it even less control than the regular Silver Bow. Guiding Bow is basically the opposite of Piercing Bow, trading damage for significantly more control, making it similar to {{SSB4|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Bow]]. | Dark Pit doesn't gain much benefit from his custom moves; only his neutral special really gains any benefit.
