his moves causes more damage the angle he sends you in is different and he has zeldas final smash so stronger slightly slower his side special will only swing if it touches the opponent while pits will swing regardless and dark pits arrows dont curve those are the only differences ive seen his recovery is higher than pits though
quick question why was black pit changed to dark pit race shouldn't have anything to do with that at all since they had no problems with black yoshi please explain it to me why the name change
The thread for all those confused about DP, but you're not sure where to ask, well now you can! Commonly asked questions and answers will be added to the OP later, but for now, feel free to ask (or answer) your fellow Dark Pit mains.
Black Pit is just his Japanese name. Dark Pit's his english name. There was probably a race thing in the english translation of Kid Icarus Uprising, but he's just always been known as Dark Pit over here and Black Pit in Japan. Just a localization thing as far as I can tell.
awe i see makes sense
Anyone can answer these, right?
I've been observing it. For now, it looks like you'll just slide along with the lag. I'll take a closer look when I get a chance.
i've been messing around with it to see if it could prove useful at all and I've gotten a few free grabs from it since i don't think some people expect it(also I think guardian orbitars can push people off a ledge without doing damage for some weird edge guarding) this thread doesn't seem very active though w
A video of it in action would be cool. Orbitars pushing people off the ledge could come in handy for trying to set up a potential spike on people who aren't prepared but I dunno if it would give you enough room to do anything with [that and getting his spike is hard enough to hit]. People just seem to dislike Dark Pit and all his clonieness I guess. Granted the Pit thread isn't too active either from what i've seen sadly. ):
i've seen a lot of dark pit but really pit and dark pit can do all those things i don't have any video because it would have to be recorded on a phone which is embarrassment i will not endure(but if you do/get someone to that would be cool its not hard to find) i can look for the video that had the guardian orbitar push... can't post a link though so go on youtube and find
It definitely reflects the Links' boomerangs. How's it work on trees and bowling balls?
Im not too sure, I dont have anyone to test it on ATM. Im like 70% sure it works on the trees
it reflects any projectile that isn't a smash attack but it has armor so sometimes you can hit through people edge guarding(but not really worth it unless you think the 8-12% damage you soak isn't going to be game changing) also noticed you can smash villager on his rocket which is nice if you dont want to waste a good grab
Dthrow combos into aerials until about 35%, Fthrow kills at 120% at the ledge, and Uthrow leads to arrow follow-ups.
(Although DP is better in that regard, considering his flings the opponent diagonally instead of up. But the two are basically interchangeable anyway.)
Bair isn't all that good for KOs anymore. Me, I'll usually KO with Fsmash or Upperdash/Electroshock. Usmash works great if you land it.
For Dark Pit, his Sspecial is highly dependent on the opponent's position. (Also worth noting the aerial version is weaker.)
I didn't realize Pit's Side B was so much better :o
His Side B is very important to use correctly. If you time it wrong, you could get punished easily. Time it right, and you can juggle your opponents easily. Use it to punish people for rolling, or when they fall/recover to the stage. His U-Throw does the most damage, but his F-Throw is probably the throw I use the most often.
Learn the spike for the Dair, Bairs are alright, Usmash, Utilt, Fsmash are all good kill moves. I hardly ever use Side-b as a kill move, unless I Captain it and Jump off the edge to hit them with it (Vertical KB FTW)
Not necessarily better, but more consistant since it KOs off the top. Don't forget his is also weaker in the air.
"He" as in Pit is weaker in the air than Dark Pit?
No, the side specials.
1 - I suppose you could save it till the high percents if you're afraid of it getting stale, but that kind of takes away a good punishment move for rolls and ending lag. Besides, it's not his only kill move, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Don't use it too much in the early game, but then again, don't rule it out all together.
