I'd recommend Pit first of all.

Dark Pit is quite honestly the least "special" clone in smash history. He is EXACTLY the same except for 3 or 4 moves, all of which are downgrades because of the difference.

His voice acting is swag, and so is his victory theme, but you'll have more options with Pit.

These japanese vines showcase so many things, that no one seems to know about over here.

the more useful dash dancing is called dash dance pivot (DDP), used frequently in brawl, especially by sonic mains and marth mains. The inputs are easy to get down too, though the timings unique for each character, nice (and simple) addition to add to your movement options.

There's different smash groups that meet up for weeklies on Facebook. It'll be good to reach out to them if you're looking to play with strictly smashers.

I'm too lazy to actually look it up right now but what are the actuall differences between Dark pit and pit? Isn't dark put slightly stronger in some attacks while pit is faster

Pit is definitely a high tier character
Anyway the differences are:
Pit's arrows are weaker by 2% but curve better
Pit's ftilt has stronger knockback
His arm sends foes at an upward angle killing more consistently
I think there's another but basically Pit is better slightly

arrows are bad regardless and force the same situation no matter which one you use, it's only for forcing airdodges because they are going to avoid it offstage. You'd think pit's arrows would be more effective against characters that recover low but it doesn't do anything really.

Side b being a kill move is a pretty moot point considering it's just as if not more unsafe than an fsmash which will kill earlier anyway, dark pit's not only does more damage but puts them offstage which is a position he can deal with very well and get early gimps rather than praying your opponent is dumb enough to not shield at 150%. Not to mention dark pit's side b is way way waaaay better against rosalina, maybe some light characters can get cheesed by pit's side b but that's about it.

ftilt is a bad move so who cares if it does a little more damage, you shouldn't be using it in the first place.

Pit is a better character on paper, but there's really nothing but preference in which one you use, it doesn't make much of a significant difference outside of a few MUs to make it to the point where you wish you were using one instead of the other, other than having to listen to pit's horrid voice, that alone should make that **** not worth it


tl;dr - If you can use one pit, you can use the other, it's like having a character with custom moves while no one else does basically, you can pick the one that feels the most natural in a MU

I could be at syncs if that's easier too, or a place closer to where you're at. If its not possible to pick me don't worry about it.

https://youtu.be/gtMkeVWarTU I look at videos of brawl like this and wonder if smash 4 will ever be as deep/free-flowing...it's crazy how many things he did that you can't do in smash 4 anymore. Flashiest kirby I've ever seen as well.
