Out of Shield options

UsmashFastest OOS

6f above, 7f in front

Usmash is Dark Pit's fastest out of shield option. However, it only hits above Dark Pit, which doesn't make it the most consistent option there is. Still very useful for killing opponents at high percents

NairOf course it's an Out of Shield option

7f

Despite being one frame slower than Usmash, Nair is Dark Pit's best out of shield option. It grants better reward than Usmash, especially at lower percents since you can combo off of it

Disadvantage

Disadvantage tools

Dark Pit has one of the better disadvantage states in the game. He has more option than most of the cast to stop opponents from recklessly edgeguarding him. Here are some of those options:

NairOf course it's useful in disadvantage

When hanging onto the ledge, Dark Pit can use his Nair to safely get back to the stage while throwing out a hitbox. If done correctly, Dark Pit will be around -6 on shield, which is fast enough to bait most punish attempts

Guardian OrbitarsForbidden SSBU air shield

Dark Pit's down-B is one of the best of its kind when it comes to disadvantage. It helps him a lot when landing, because it has the property of blocking physical hits while it's out. This makes landing against characters such as [[File:Ike_{{{2}}}_Stock.png|link=Ike/{{{2}}}|x25px|alt=]] [[Ike/{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] or [[File:Corrin_{{{2}}}_Stock.png|link=Corrin/{{{2}}}|x25px|alt=]] [[Corrin/{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] much easier than usual

• If a move hits both Dark Pit's hurtbox and the Orbitars, the Orbitars takes priority

This attack isn't perfect, however. See, it has a blind spot on Dark Pit's feet (and head). This makes landing against characters with more vertical Uairs such as [[File:Link_{{{2}}}_Stock.png|link=Link/{{{2}}}|x25px|alt=]] [[Link/{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]], [[File:Young Link_{{{2}}}_Stock.png|link=Young Link/{{{2}}}|x25px|alt=]] [[Young Link/{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] or [[File:Toon Link_{{{2}}}_Stock.png|link=Toon Link/{{{2}}}|x25px|alt=]] [[Toon Link/{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] harder than usual. Those blind spots also means that you will sometimes eat projectiles you were supposed to reflect

Recovery

Dark Pit's recovery allows him to go very deep before having to recover. His up-B covers a great distance, so don't be afraid of going deep offstage as Pit. You might find that despite the myriad of options Dark Pit has at his disposal, he can get easily edgeguarded. This is because you need to keep mixing up your recovery options in order to not get predictable. This is very important, because if you don't, Dark Pit suddenly becomes way easier to edgeguard. Here are Dark Pit's general options he can use to recover:

• His 3 aerial jumps
• side-B
• up-B
• down-B

Contrary to Pit, his arrow is less useful for recovering because of it being stiffer

Changing the speed of up-B

On stages with walls, Dark Pit can make his up-B go slower by hugging the wall (make your up-B go in the direction of the wall). Change up the timings and angles in order to keep your opponent on their toes when trying to two frameIn SSBU, a character is vulnerable for the first two frames of his ledge hang animation. A "two frame" refers to an attack that hit a character during those two frames you
