Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality. He rarely smiles outside of the occasional smirk. 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. However, it does appear that he is willing to work for someone to get what he wants, shown when he joins the [[Forces of Nature]] to defeat Pit. | Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality.

Dark Pit appears as an unlockable playable character in the games as a newcomer. He was formally announced on October 9, 2014, but he was previously [http://www.twitch.tv/hamayama leaked] by a user's Twitch channel who got a copy of the 3DS game early. Even prior to the Twitch stream, he was mentioned in another [[smashwiki:Leak#ESRB_leak|leak]]. In the 3DS version, Dark Pit can be unlocked by completing [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|Classic Mode]] three times, or playing 50 VS matches. While in the Wii U version, he can be obtained by completing [[smashwiki:All-Star Mode|All-Star Mode]] on normal difficulty, or playing 40 VS matches. Before his confirmation, he made an ambiguous cameo at the end of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqTW13AYniY#t Palutena's trailer] when the goddess questions if he has dropped in to crash her party, with which he responds with a smug "uh-huh". | Dark Pit appears as an unlockable playable character in the games as a newcomer.

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 | 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 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/ Forbes: Super Smash Bros.

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. 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]] previously, 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.
