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 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. As he is a clone of Pit, it can be assumed he also has the appearance of a 13-year old with a height of 160 cm (5'3"). | 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>.

Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality. Dark Pit attacks with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks the unsuspecting 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.

He does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. He is commonly described as being mysterious, likely due to the fact the reason behind his desire to defeat Pit is largely unknown. 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, unlike Pit, he is quite sharp and bright, seeing things from a third party view due to his lack of affiliation with any of the gods. This is shown when he accuses all the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are powerful omnipotent figures. | 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".

Dark Pit is a [[smashwiki:clone|clone]] of [[Pit]], and uses his [[Silver Bow]] as his main weapon, but has a few minor differences, such as his [[smashwiki:side special|side special]], which is the [[Electroshock Arm]]. Despite his render depicting him wielding his [[Dark Pit Staff]], he only uses it for one move—his [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]]. He also has an unique victory fanfare which takes tunes from his iconic theme song. In the complete roster, Dark Pit's slot is placed between [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario|Dr. Mario]] and [[fireemblemwiki:Lucina|Lucina]], instead of next to his fellow ''Kid Icarus'' comrades, this is likely due to the fact that Dark Pit originally was just an alternate costume for Pit who was later turned to his own character, just like Dr. Mario and Lucina.<ref>http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/10/10/super-smash-bros-for-wii-u-director-has-harsh-words-for-clone-critics/</ref> | Dark Pit is a [[smashwiki:clone|clone]] of [[Pit]], and uses his [[Silver Bow]] as his main weapon, but has a few minor differences, such as his [[smashwiki:side special|side special]], which is the [[Electroshock Arm]].

In his [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]], Dark Pit reveals that some point afterwards the events of ''Uprising'', he joined the ranks of the [[Forces of Nature]] as an officer. According to him, he and Viridi had "interests that overlap", likely meaning that both of them are interested in taking Pit down. This would also mean that Dark Pit still views his lighter half as his rival, despite the incident that occurred with the Chaos Kin, and knowing that he would cease to exist if Pit were to die. | In his [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance#Dark Pit|Palutena's Guidance]], Dark Pit reveals that some point afterwards the events of ''Uprising'', he joined the ranks of the [[Forces of Nature]] as an officer.

*In ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'', there is an enemy clone of Pit named [[Putt]] that may have drawn inspiration for Dark Pit, but it is unlikely as the Game Boy game is usually overlooked by Nintendo themselves, and the black palette swap from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is the most likely explanation for Dark Pit's existence. | *In ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'', there is an enemy clone of Pit named [[Putt]] that may have drawn inspiration for Dark Pit, but it is unlikely as the Game Boy game is usually overlooked by Nintendo themselves, and the black palette swap from ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Despite appearing in the demo, he was completely unacknowledged by Nintendo at the time, as Dark Pit was not mentioned in the E3 2011 trailer nor did he show up in any official screenshots or press releases. He wasn't formally revealed until three months later in a trailer from the [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/conference2011/ Nintendo 3DS Conference] in September. | ||
