Moveset

Ground Attacks

Normal
  • Neutral Attack - Slashes three times, spins the blades together back and forth, hitting repeatedly. Interestingly, Dark Pit cannot enter his rapid fire attack by simply holding the "Attack" button, he will only do a three hit combo. However, once he has entered the rapid fire attack, it is necessary only to continue holding 'Attack' to continue it. This means Dark Pit essentially has two different combos depending if the button is tapped or held initially. 11% damage rapid attack: 1% per hit.
  • Dash Attack - Small slash forward with one of his blades below, below average knock back. 12% damage.
  • Strong Side - Thrusts both blades forward causing 12% damage and good knockback.
  • Strong Up - Plants bow into the ground and does a handstand with it, performing two kicks above him, the first comboing into the next. Causes 16% damage.
  • Strong Down - Crouches and swipes blade towards the ground causing 11% damage. Can spike when the foot and blade touch the opponent.

Smash

  • Forward smash - A weak slash followed immediately by a very strong slash.
  • Up smash - Three quick slashes above his head.
  • Down smash - Slashes toward the ground in front of and behind him. Similar to Link's down smash.

Trivia

  • Dark Pit is the second playable character to first appear as a palette swap; the first was Wario in SSB and SSBM.
  • Dark Pit was hinted at in the Palutena reveal trailer, but was not fully confirmed for three months afterwards, just like Mr. Game & Watch in Pac-man's reveal trailer.
  • Dark Pit is the only character to use a Final Smash in his official artwork.
  • Dark Pit is the first, and so far, only playable dark/shadow doppelganger who is a separate character, since Shadow Mario is Bowser Jr.'s Final Smash, Dark Link and Dark Kirby are palette swaps, and Dark Samus is a palette swap and an Assist trophy.
