Dark Pit
S TierDark Pit excels in zoning and spacing, making effective use of his neutral special, Silver Bow, to control the battlefield and punish opponents from a distance. His Side Special, Electroshock Arm, can be used aerially to reduce end lag, allowing for quick follow-ups or retreating options. To maximize his strengths, focus on mixing up your arrow timing and utilizing Fair as a powerful spacing tool, especially against aggressive opponents. However, be cautious of characters with strong approaches or those that can easily reflect his projectiles, as Dark Pit can struggle against relentless pressure and close-range combat.

- down grab -> shorthop fair -> fastfall -> either grab or another down grab
- grab, down throw, dash, up-smash (low percent)
