'''Dark Pit''' ({{ja|ブラックピット|Burakku Pitto}}, ''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 {{SSBU|Pit}}. Dark Pit is classified as fighter #28ε.

Antony Del Rio and Minami Takayama reprise the role of Dark Pit in the English and Japanese versions of the game, respectively.

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Samus}} or any character in her unlock tree, being the eighth character unlocked after {{SSBU|Wario}}.

With the exception of the third method, Dark Pit must then be defeated on [[Reset Bomb Forest]].

==Differences from Pit==  

As in ''SSB4'', Dark Pit is mostly the same as Pit, but his neutral special and side special are generally stronger but riskier. His Final Smash is also fully unique as well.

*{{change|As with all Echo Fighters, Dark Pit has unique taunts and victory animations.}}

*{{change|Dark Pit's clapping animation is different as well.}}

*{{change|Dark Pit has a different victory theme.}}

*{{change|[[Silver Bow]] is stronger than Pit's Palutena Bow.}}

**{{buff|Silver Bow deals considerably more damage (8% → 14% fully charged) and knockback, and travels slightly faster.}}

**{{nerf|Silver Bow lasts for a shorter amount of time and cannot be controlled as easily.}}

*{{change|[[Electroshock Arm]] is stronger than [[Upperdash Arm]].}}

**{{change|Electroshock Arm deals [[electric]] damage, and sends opponents at a lower angle than Upperdash Arm.}}

*{{change|Dark Pit has a completely different [[Final Smash]], being [[Dark Pit Staff]].}}

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Dark Pit's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing and wings now feature simple detailing, and like {{SSBU|Pit}}, his eyes and hair appear more detailed.}}

*{{change|Dark Pit's idle animation has been slightly altered.}}

*{{change|Dark Pit's down and side taunts are performed faster.}}

*{{change| Many of Dark Pit's expressions, including when Screen KOed, are now identical to Pit's.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Dark Pit's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 5).}}

*{{buff|Dark Pit's [[air speed]] is slightly higher (0.89 → 0.935).}}

===Ground attacks===

**{{change|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.}}

**{{buff|Neutral infinite connects better into the final hit, improving the move's utility.}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{buff|Forward tilt is now identical to Pit’s, dealing more knockback.}}

*[[Up tilt]]:

*[[Down tilt]]:

**{{buff|Down tilt's endlag has been significantly lowered, and its angle has been made more vertical.}}

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{buff|Dash attack's animation has been altered to a downward swipe of his blade. It is quicker and covers more area in front of Dark Pit. It also deals significantly higher knockback.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{change|Forward smash's first hit has more range, but its second hit has less range. This makes it easier to land the first hit of the move and harder to land the second.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash's second hit connects better, improving the move's utility.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash deals more knockback compared to both Pit and the last game.}}

**{{buff|Neutral aerial's multi-hits connect more consistently.}}

*{{buff|[[Forward aerial|Forward]] and [[up aerial]] multi-hits deal less damage, while the final hits deal more. As a result, their knockback, kill power, and overall damage are increased.}}

**{{buff|Down aerial's hitbox is bigger.}}

===Throws/other attacks===

*{{nerf|Standing [[grab]] and dash grab have increased ending lag.}}

===Special Moves===

**{{buff|Silver Bow travels faster and has decreased endlag.}}

**{{buff|Silver Bow now deals considerably more damage and knockback, both compared to the last game and Pit’s arrows.}}

**{{buff|Dark Pit can act out of [[Electroshock Arm]] faster if it connects.}}

**{{change|Dark Pit always shouts "Electroshock!" when using Electroshock Arm. His other voice clip is used when he activates the Power of Flight.}}

**{{buff|Power of Flight can now grab the ledge when facing backwards.}}

**{{nerf|Power of Flight halts at the end of the move, reducing its recovery potential.}}

***{{nerf|Dark Pit will float for a little bit after the move, but that means he will be more vulnerable to attacks.}}

*[[Guardian Orbitars]]:

**{{buff|Guardian Orbitars comes out faster when activated.}}

**{{change|Guardian Orbitars will shrink the longer they are held out.}}

Dark Pit's opponents (with the exception of Pit) are characters that were man-made creations or genetically enhanced fighters.

Dark Pit was present when [[Galeem]] unleashed its beams of light. He was flying alongside {{SSBU|Pit}} to escape the beams, but after {{SSBU|Palutena}} was vaporized, they lost their [[Power of Flight]] and fell victim to the beams as well. They were both placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding {{SSBU|Kirby}}.

Dark Pit was one of the many fighters that fell under [[Dharkon]]'s control upon Galeem's first defeat. He can be found in the Dracula's Castle sub-area.
