Dark Pit: Difference between revisions

[[File:PitandDarkPit_back.png|thumb|left|170px|Although not depicted in-game, the concept art depicts Dark Pit's wings looking different from Pit's, as his wings are narrower and sharper looking.]]  

In terms of appearance, Dark Pit is nearly identical to that of [[Pit]], with the most obvious differences being his black clothing and hair, and dark-colored wings that may appear a deep teal depending on the lighting, but are officially described to be black<ref>http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/characters.html#dark-pit</ref>. The color scheme is also similar to that of the black palette swap from ''Brawl'' with some minor changes such as red eyes, gold trim on the some parts of the chiton, and gold accessories opposed to the silver. One of the few differences that is unrelated to color is the design on the hems of his tunic, as Dark Pit's has triangular patterns opposed to the vine-like ones on Pit's.

Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious and darker personality. Dark Pit attacks with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks Pit after [[Pandora]] was defeated. Unlike Pit, Dark Pit hates the idea of being bounded down as a servant and would rather follow his own orders. This is noticeable when Dark Pit refused to follow Pandora's orders despite being created to obey her and later refused Medusa's offer to help him take down Pit, likely thinking that she would take command of him in exchange. He also appears to be sensitive about his identity. In early parts of the game, he is constantly fighting with Pit because he is supposedly "copying his act", and dislikes being called "Pittoo" by Pit and Palutena. He does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. Because Dark Pit came from the Mirror of Truth, it's implied that Dark Pit is actually a personification of Pit's negative inner feelings.

He is later shown to have a dry sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". Also similarly to his light counterpart, he seems to enjoy playing other Nintendo games, as he mentioned ''[[wikipedia:Brain Age|Brain Age]]'' at one point. However, he is also much sharper and brighter compared to Pit, seeing things from a third party view due to his lack of affiliation with any of the gods. This is shown when he accuses Palutena, Viridi and Hades of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are deities, and also when he seems to be the first to realize that it takes more than one soul to craft an Underworld monster.  

Dark Pit also does seem to have a sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that the [[Hades|Underworld god]] has been using souls to craft his [[Underworld Army]], and he agrees that the evil deity needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with the goddess of light, he does seem to care about Palutena, as he aids in rescuing her from the Chaos Kin, and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them.
