The | The Power of Flight is confirmed to be Pit's new up special in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', replacing the [[Wings of Icarus]] from ''[[Brawl]]''. Pit briefly charges then launches himself in the direction the player chooses. The wings noticeably change from blue, yellow, then red similar to how it does in ''Uprising'' when changing flight speed. The Power of Flight is also [[Dark Pit]]'s up special, working similarly to Pit's but allowing him to travel a further distance. | ||
