@ Opossum Opossum Dark Pit is still pretty big in Japan. I think he's the Little Mac of Japan.
*nods silently in agreement*

He pops more often in Japanese fan art, was highly ranked on Japanese polls and even had an action figure like the one Lucina is getting. He's not liked in the West because "MUH CLONE", "MUH WASTE OF SPACE", "MUH SAKURAI BIAS".

In that sense, I think the Japanese are more sane... Oh wait, they overreacted negatively to Little Mac, save for a few souls who acknowledged his popularity in the West. "MUH I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS", "MUH OBSCURE", "MUH WASTE OF SPACE" were the cries of despair on the Eastern lands...

So, it doesn't matter where you live or where you were born and raised, the words of a certain wise man I've quoted in the last page hold true as ever.

But I like Dark Pit. I give no ****s about his haters or his clone status. :4darkpit:

I AM ROBOT
:4rob:?

BEEP BOOP
:4gaw:?

The mind wobbles.

Well i'm now 22
Happy birthday!

You know it's sad when Anime OC's are much more creative than Video Game OC's these days. I'd take look at a Naruto OC over the likes of Blonic or Fails on the Internet.

Yup you can't please everyone, which is why the "few crazy characters, stock cast, popular newcomers" balanced approach Sakurai has had been so effective. I guess "ignoring" was the wrong use of words. I need sleep :)

Huh, didn't realize he was that big in Japan. I should have realized, considering he has a figma. :laugh:

I should say though that I don't hate Dark Pit. I just wish he used a few more of the weapons from Uprising. :p

Said figma includes both Silver Bow and Dark Pit Staff as customizable parts.

:4link::4samus::4pit::4darkpit::4lucina: are the Nintendo characters so far with figma figures (:snake: also has one). One should do that match on the Wii U on... *announcer voice* 8-PLAYER SMASH!!

Clone characters are what happens when you have a small amount of time you don't know what to do with in development.

Doesn't Charizard have one too? I remember the Kanto starters got some, but on second thought I'm not sure if they were figmas.

Not figmas but are still customizable/posable action figures nonetheless.

Figma is just a brand name of action figures.

(I would so buy the five Nintendo character figmas, but they're expensive. x_x)

Ughhhhhhh. Just when I thought I recovered, my illness is back for round 2. >:/

Now I have to starve myself for at least 24 hours. Hope this doesn't impact my university work, as it's already forced me to rest and lag behind.

Don't you mean Krocodong?
Fix'd.

Rule #25 states that all Kuttthroats must begin words kontaining hard C's with K's instead. If that golden rule were to be broken, then Kaptain Scurvy might make these scalawags walk the plank. Or even worse, banish these kremepuffs to the same lair where poor souls like Konker the Squirrel and Banjo Kazooie resides. :demon:

As long as we're talking about dark pit, I think he should've stayed out. He's just a lame duck clone with nothing unique about him. Before bringing up his final smash, let me remind you that it is a clone of Zelda/Shiek.

I honestly think he's done with Smash after this title, unless he gets demoted to a color swap with his electroshock arm configured into Pit's custom moves.

I'm not sorry at all

@ Frostwraith Frostwraith , this is a topic that really heats you up isn't it XD
Think twice before dissing on my top 3 most wanted characters. :evil:

:4robinm::150::4darkpit:

But really, I'm cool. :shades:

Such a shame Dark Pit didn't have a clear confirmation by trailer. Such a damn shame, as the Mewtwo and Robin announcements had me yelling in excitement.

Sakurai stated that the only reason he took so little development time being essentially a palette swap with variable changes.
I don't like him much either, though. In terms of gameplay.

I know the feeling, my left thumb currently is infected with some sort of disease that makes it look swollen. So yeah, same boat.

No sir.


I need to see your live reaction, where is it?

What's with the "if Sakurai steps down, Ridley will be playable" mentality?

It's fallacious as ****.
Yeah, screw Ridley! There's only one good choice of a Metroid left that isn't another Samus and his name is Anthony Higgs. I'm pretty sure that y'all remembered him despite how crappy Other M was.

And I'm fine with it.

That's all he needs to be if he's to be a sufficiently accurate depiction of his character.

His most used weapon is the Silver Bow. The use of Dark Pit Staff as his Final Smash works perfectly well. It's his most powerful weapon (Staffs in KIU are sniper weapons, meaning they're slow and ludicrously powerful).

Anthony Higgs Is Remembered! :shades::troll:

Or maybe "Anthony Higgs Remembers the Fight!"

I actually liked the guy. Really cool sidekick to Samus, to be honest.

You will change your mind once I beat the **** out of you as :4darkpit:. :demon:

I don't get why people hate Dark Pit for being a clone but are fine with Dr.Mario and Lucina. Dark Pit is not the worst clone in this game, he is even better than Pit in this game.

Yeah in terms of value added Dark Pit was a great/fitting choice for the time they had.
