Timing

While charging, Dark Pit can aim upward or turn around, both taking 7 frames. The turnaround cannot be canceled, but the animations for both aiming up and back down can, allowing Dark Pit to fire the arrow in the chosen direction as early as one frame after the respective animation begins. The arrow's charge is also paused during the turnaround and aiming animations, allowing them to be used for intentionally delaying the attack.

Only one arrow can be active at a time, and Dark Pit cannot use the move again until it disappears. As a result, for the arrow's maximum duration, the earliest Dark Pit can use the move again is on frame 56.
