Dark Pit (Life & Death)

Dark Pit (ブラックピット, Black Pit) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Dark Pit is a rival and clone of Pit that was created after Pit destroyed the Mirror of Truth. Originally intended by Pandora to be used to have a "Pit" for the Underworld, Dark Pit instead attacked her, absorbed her powers, and fled. Due to this, Dark Pit is often considered an anti-hero, and after the events of Uprising has become a temporary officer in the Forces of Nature under Virdi.
Dark Pit is voiced by Antony Del Rio and Minami Takayama in-game, who also voice Pit. Both voice actors reprise their roles as the character since his debut in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A reverse gripped downward slash, followed by a reverse-gripped inward slash, then by an upward slash. If button mashed, Dark Pit will instead follow up the second slash with a flurry of slashes using both blades, which concludes with a lunging outward slash.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Arcs his body forward to perform a scissoring slash.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Two alternate lunging kicks upward.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A kneeling outward slash.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A spinning inward slash.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	A charged hit from the Ogre Club, which launches opponents sideways.
Up Smash 	N/A 	An upward hit from the Ogre Club, which launches opponents upwards.
Down Smash 	N/A 	A downward hit from the Ogre Club, which launches opponents downwards.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	A buzzsaw-like series of slashes in front of himself. It hits multiple times.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Lunges forward to perform a buzzsaw-like series of slashes that hit up to three times.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	A double reverse gripped thrust.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	An overhead, buzzsaw-like series of slashes. It hits multiple times, with its last hit launching vertically.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A downward arcing reverse gripped slash.
Grab 	N/A 	Reaches out with his free hand. The hand is notably wielding the Violet Palm.
Pummel 	N/A 	A knee strike. A fairly fast pummel.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Dark Pit launches the opponent forwards with the Electroshock Arm.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Dark Pit launches the opponent backward with the Electroshock Arm.
Up Throw 	N/A 	A handstand kick, similar to Sheik's up throw.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Pins the opponent to the ground and then slashes their back.
Neutral Special	Silver Bow 	Shoots a purplish-black arrow from his bow. Can be slightly angled up or down while flying and can be aimed up while charging. The arrows deal considerably more damage and knockback than Pit's and are slightly faster, although they cannot be curved as strongly.
Side Special 	Dark Pit Staff 	Dark Pit brings out his namesake weapon and fires a laser. The laser is stronger or weaker depending on how close the opponent is, with the strongest shots being far away, while the weakest shots are up close. It functions in a similar way to the Staff item.
Up Special 	Power of Flight	Soars through the air by using the Power of Flight. It covers a significant amount of distance, and the flight's direction can be angled in any way except downward, making it capable of being a purely vertical and nearly horizontal recovery option.
Down Special 	EZ Cannon 	Dark Pit brings out the EZ Cannon and shoots a ball of energy. If shot onto the stage with no opponents nearby, the ball will bounce once before exploding. If the ball is shot near an opponent, it will explode on impact upon hitting the opponent.
Final Smash 	Reset Bomb 	Dark Pit summons Virdi, who then sends out a Reset Bomb, which crashes into the stage, causing a massive explosion, which launches opponents away with major knockback, and causes any opponents with high damage to be screen KO'd instantly. Viridi then laughs as she vanishes. The move functions similarly to the Moon Assist Trophy.

==Fighter Spirits==
Dark Pit's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Dark Pit in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
