![]() ![]() Luigi is honestly the best comparison here, with his relation to Mario in terms of Smash. However, similar to Luigi, I have given Dark Pit enough logical differences to where he is different enough from Pit to not be considered even a semi-clone while still being similar enough to tell a connection. I'm not going to sugarcoat this at all it would be VERY likely Dark Pit would be similar to regular Pit, so my moveset reflects this with many of his moves. "That's very interesting, but what about his moveset? Surely as he's copied from Pit, he'd be an exact clone, right?" So it became an unintentional reference to Dark Pit being Pit's "mirror" copy. However, I later learned that Pit leads with his right in Brawl in a stark contrast. He would also hold his two blades of the Silver Bow with a reverse grip in both hands (such as when we first see him split the bow), in comparison to Pit using a standard grip with his right and a reverse grip with his left.Īlso, intended to be like Uprising, Dark Pit would lead with his left like when you control him or Pit in the game. To better reflect his more aggressive style of fighting and personality, Dark Pit would have more of a "fighter's stance" than Pit, with his hands in front of him rather than at his sides. So that covers some aesthetic differences between the two, but here's something that I could also see happening. Since Dark Pit would be using the Silver Bow, naturally, he would lack this patch. ![]() Notably, Pit had it on his left hand in Brawl and in Uprising. This patch is exclusive to the Palutena Bow, as Pit (or Dark Pit) do not have it while equipped with any other weapon. The "patch" that you see in the middle of the Palutena Bow in the image. Since Dark Pit would use the Silver Bow (due to being his weapon of choice), he would not have the golden halos on his arm, or any halos for that matter.Ģ. These appear on Pit's left arm in Brawl, and on his right in Uprising. Notice that the Palutena Bow has two additions to it that the Silver Bow lacks, both of which are applied to Pit in Brawl.ġ. Sakurai is also aware of Dark Pit’s popularity, given that he recently posted on his Twitter a poll condoned by Nintendo Dream Magazine, with this Top 20: 4, deeming any of the gods like Palutena or Hades to be “too omnipotent”. While I personally wouldn’t choose Dark Pit as a character if given the choice, I wouldn’t put it past Sakurai to include Dark Pit alongside Pit in Super Smash Bros. While someone like Palutena is considered more likely due to being more “prevalent” within the series and being less likely as a blatant clone, Dark Pit is best considered as the “Player 2” of the series, not unlike again, Luigi. What this means, that while his primary weapon can be the Silver Bow to match Pit, he either can use his other weapons as Special Moves, or be the first character to switch fighting styles by switching weapons by a command such as a Down Special. The last weapon that can be called “his” is the “Ogre Club”, and while not seeming like a Dark Pit exclusive, its Idol description states that it is “The club used by Dark Pit in his battle beneath the temple in Chapter 6.” His stance while using them can be made more aggressive as well to differentiate him from Pit in case of being Metal. This is where Dark Pit would be similar to Pit, however, his attacks can be made more aggressive and focus more on stabbing with the blades rather than slicing like Pit does. Second is the “Silver Bow”, which, like how Dark Pit is a recolor of Pit, the Silver Bow is a recolor of Pit’s Sacred Bow of Palutena. First, is the aptly named “Dark Pit Staff”, which is the weapon he used to try to snipe Pit in parts of Chapter 6. In Uprising, Dark Pit is seen specifically using 6 different weapons when you fight him, however, only 3 of those weapons can be truly called “his”. Well, he most likely would have some similarities to Pit, not unlike Luigi to Mario or Lucas to Ness, but like those two, he can branch off into some traits that are unique to him. How would he be different from Pit, you might ask. It may be more likely that Dark Pit would just be a clone if not a simple recolor like he was in Brawl, there is still the chance that Sakurai may include him as the 2nd representative for Kid Icarus. Brawl, but was deemed popular enough to be made into his own character in Kid Icarus Uprising. What is more interesting about Dark Pit is that he started out as simply a color for Pit in Super Smash Bros. While it is true that Dark Pit is essentially a darker recolor of Pit, remember that it is similar to how Luigi started as well (though not as a darker recolor). ![]()
