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.

Final Smash

Dark Pit Staff
Dark Pit Staff

Dark Pit releases a very powerful beam that has a very long range (a whole stage from end to end) that can instantly KO anyone caught in it. Timing is necessary since the beam itself is thin.

Recovery

Dark Pit can jump up to four times but the third and fourth jumps won't be as high as the first two. For horizontal recovery, you can use his Electroshock Arm special and for vertical his far-reaching Pandora Wings move. With these, you can easily return back to the stage.

Gameplay

Dark Pit doesn't have heavy damage-dealing attacks so he'll need to use his agility and multi-hit attacks to slowly build up damage to his opponents before using moves with high knockback. Since most of his attacks utilize his blades, this gives Dark Pit a little extra range. His mobility while airborne is also something that he can take advantage off. The Guardian Orbitars provide excellent side defense regardless whether if its used on the ground or while in the air. Dark Pit's Electroshock Arm attack has quick speed, good range, and knockback power so using it at the right time can compensate his lack of considerable power.
