'''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. Dark Pit is {{SSBU|Pit}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #28<sup>ε</sup>]].
'''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 officially revealed on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018] alongside fellow ''Kid Icarus'' fighters {{SSBU|Pit}} and {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and the rest of the returning roster. Dark Pit is {{SSBU|Pit}}'s [[Echo Fighter]], thus being classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #28<sup>ε</sup>]].


Antony Del Rio and Minami Takayama's portrayals of Dark Pit from ''Smash 4'' were repurposed for the English and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'', with the former once again remaining uncredited. However, they both provide new voice clips for certain [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversations.

However, they both provide new voice clips for certain [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversations.
 
Dark Pit, alongside his base fighter Pit, are ranked 41st out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing them in the B- tier. This is a slight rise for them compared to their 32nd out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''.

==Differences from {{SSBU|Pit}}==
==Differences from {{SSBU|Pit}}==
As in ''SSB4'', Dark Pit is almost completely identical to {{SSBU|Pit}}. Unlike in ''SSB4'', he no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a smaller neutral finisher - because of these changes, he now has a completely identical non-special moveset to his original counterpart, with the only mechanical differences between him and Pit being his neutral special ([[Silver Bow]]), side special ([[Electroshock Arm]]), and Final Smash ([[Dark Pit Staff]]). These mechanical differences, while few, are fairly notable: Silver Bow's arrows are faster and stronger but have reduced control, making them more useful as standard projectiles than for edgeguarding or zoning; Electroshock Arm launches at a lower angle, making it better at the edge as a KOing move than Upperdash Arm, but worse from across the stage; and Dark Pit Staff fires a long beam instead of being a focused attack like [[Lightning Chariot]], making it better for catching multiple opponents scattered around, but the move has less power to compensate.

However, Dark Pit's differences are marginal compared to other [[Echo Fighters]] (such as {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and {{SSBU|Ken}}). Aside from [[matchup]]s where Dark Pit's higher power or Pit's better camping ability would prove better, choosing Dark Pit over Pit is almost entirely up to personal preference.
Dark Pit's differences, while sometimes significant, are often considered to be marginal enough to not affect his viability in most situations, including competitive play. Aside from matchups or stages where either character's special moves would prove useful, choosing Dark Pit over Pit is entirely up to personal preference.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Much like {{SSBU|Pit}}, Dark Pit has been [[buff]]ed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''.
Dark Pit has been [[buff]]ed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Much like {{SSBU|Pit}}, almost all aspects of Dark Pit's moveset have been improved, and he benefits from the changes to gameplay mechanics.


Dark Pit shares most of the same buffs with Pit. He has increased KO ability on several of his moves, toning down one of his previously largest weaknesses in ''SSB4''. His aerial game has notably improved thanks to a combination of more damage and power, and lower [[landing lag]], and [[Silver Bow]] has less lag, both changes of which improve his neutral game. His grounded game has also become more consistent and useful. Lastly, Dark Pit largely benefits from the universal changes in ''Ultimate'', with the changes to [[air dodge]]s making his edgeguarding game even stronger, and the faster mobility and ability to use any attack out of a run making his offensive game more reliable.

Lastly, Dark Pit largely benefits from the universal changes in ''Ultimate'', with the changes to [[air dodge]]s making his edgeguarding game even stronger, and the faster mobility and ability to use any attack out of a run making his offensive game more reliable, which was a previously large weakness from ''SSB4''.


Among Dark Pit's unique buffs are those to his Silver Bow and [[Electroshock Arm]]: the former is a much more reliable projectile for KOing and edgeguarding, as it deals more damage and fired arrows travel faster, and they send at a much lower angle; meanwhile, the latter also sends at an even lower angle, slightly improving its KOing ability. Additionally, Dark Pit no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a less consistent finisher on his neutral attack, making his non-special moveset completely identical to his original counterpart.

Meanwhile, the latter also sends at an even lower angle, slightly improving its KOing ability. Additionally, Dark Pit no longer has a weaker [[forward tilt]] or a less consistent finisher on his neutral attack, making his non-special moveset completely identical to his original counterpart.


Dark Pit has, however, also received a few nerfs that are shared with Pit, such as his [[Guardian Orbitars]] having less HP and shrinking the more time they're held out; [[Power of Flight]] halting completely before he can move, slightly worsening his recovery; and his grabs having more lag, standarizing them in comparison to the cast. He also retains many of his previous weaknesses from ''SSB4''.

Altogether, Dark Pit's moveset has been strengthened as a whole and he now boasts a better offensive game while keeping his good defensive game, and the universal changes give him more opportunities to gain the advantage. However, he still lacks noteworthy attributes (outside of his edgeguarding ability) which, along with many veterans either being buffed to varying degrees and/or benefitting from the universal changes, means that while Dark Pit fares much better than he did in ''SSB4'', he has not improved significantly relative to the cast. Like his original counterpart, Dark Pit has seen minimal tournament representation and results in the early metagame of ''Ultimate'', leading to the same increasingly negative reception he had received during ''SSB4'', though he has a small playerbase in the form of players such as {{sm|KiraFlax}}.
Altogether, Dark Pit's moveset has been strengthened as a whole and he now boasts a better offensive game while keeping his good defensive game, and the universal changes give him more opportunities to gain the advantage. However, he still lacks noteworthy attributes (outside of his edgeguarding ability) and carries many of his previous weaknesses from ''SSB4'', which isn't helped by many veterans either being buffed to varying degrees and/or benefitting from the universal changes. Much like his original counterpart, however, Dark Pit has received buffs from game updates that have helped fix some inconsistencies or given him new options, letting him moderately keep up with the rest of the cast. In the end, Dark Pit is a much better character than in ''SSB4''.

Due to it hitting on frame 10, however, it is Dark Pit's slowest tilt attack, and its base hitboxes KO significantly later due to their lower damage output. Overall, it is one of Dark Pit's most situational attacks.

Its first hit has low set knockback to connect reliably into its second hit. Due to hitting on frame 10, it is also one of the fastest forward smashes in the game. The second hit can KO middleweights at around 120% from the center of Final Destination.

It is also a useful anti-air attack due to its long vertical range and [[disjointed hitbox]]es. However, it conversely possesses short horizontal range, resulting in it hitting grounded opponents only if they are at point-blank range in front of Dark Pit.

Like Dark Pit's other smash attacks, it is among the fastest of its kind, hitting on frame 5. While the first hit has higher base knockback and both hits have equal knockback scaling, the back hit's sweetspot KOs earlier thanks to its [[semi-spike]] angle.

It has the fastest startup out of Dark Pit's aerials (hitting on frame 4), long lasting hitboxes, and [[autocancel]]s in a short hop quickly after the hitboxes cease, making it useful for approaching, [[edgeguarding]], and canceling out weak projectiles.

The last hit has high knockback scaling, KOing middleweights at around 175% from the center of Final Destination, and at around 130% at the edge, making it useful for edgeguarding at high percents. Like neutral aerial, it also autocancels quickly in a short hop, but has comparatively longer horizontal range, so it is a safe approach option. However, it has moderate startup lag and minimal vertical range.

It has a sourspot at the base of Dark Pit's blades that launches vertically with weak knockback, allowing it to combo into several grounded moves and aerials (including another back aerial) from low to mid percents on landing. Conversely, the tip of the blades possess a sweetspot that launches horizontally with the highest knockback out of Dark Pit's aerials, KOing at around 135% from center stage, and making it one of Dark Pit's most reliable KO options. However, the sweetspot can be difficult to land due to having lower priority than the sourspot, as well as the move's moderate startup lag.

Combined with the long duration of its hitboxes, this allows it to function as a reliable [[juggling]] tool. With proper timing and spacing, it can also hit characters on the ground upon landing and start combos, much like his back aerial's sweetspot. However, its moderate startup and long total duration make it punishable if used high up from the ground and missed.

It also has the fastest total duration out of Dark Pit's aerials, and its non-meteor hitboxes launch opponents vertically, allowing it to combo into other aerials from low to mid percents. While its meteor smash is relatively weak, it is among the fastest, coming out on frame 10.

{{Pit and Dark Pit in competitive play (SSBU)}}
At the beginning of ''Ultimate's'' lifespan, Dark Pit was seen as a character who had improved significantly from ''SSB4'', with the universal increased mobility, landing lag reduction on all aerials, and new KO moves fixing many of his core problems from the previous game. However, Dark Pit's representation in the current stage of ''Ultimate'' has significantly dwindled due to how straightforward he is: professional players believe Dark Pit lacks an explosive factor in his kit, especially when compared to the cast (most of which gained significant game-changing buffs). Even characters considered less viable than him, such as {{SSBU|Little Mac}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}}, showcase more polarized but notable strengths, while Dark Pit was deemed as fundamentals-based, a low-reward fighter. This has perpetuated his archetype as an "honest" character with average capabilities all around. Due to this, professionals such as {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, and {{Sm|Armada}} have labeled Dark Pit as a low tier (or even bottom tier, in Mew2King's case, due to other characters outshining him and his parent, {{SSBU|Pit}}). However, his placement and viability in the meta are debatable to this day.

*Dark Pit’s inclusion as a separate character as opposed to an alternative costume in SSB4 was originally due to the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] belonging to Pit and Sakurai deeming it unfitting for the weapons to be used by him. The [[Lightning Chariot]] that replaces Pit’s old Final Smash, however, has been used by both Dark Pit and Pit, thus defeating the original purpose of separating the two characters. The reason for Dark Pit's re-inclusion is likely due to ''Ultimate'''s goal of bringing all previous characters back into a singular game.
