I've tried out a bit of Pit and Dark Pit, but I can't tell much of a difference between the two characters. I know they're clones, so they're going to have mostly the same moveset, but even clones usually have some difference in this franchise.
What are the differences between Pit and Dark Pit?
Pit and Dark Pit are extremely similar to one another. Here are a list of the differences from ssbwiki.
- Dark Pit's Silver Bow arrows deal 2% more damage than Pit's Palutena's Arrows at full charge.
- Dark Pit's Silver Bow also has slightly more knockback than Pit's Palutena's Arrow. However, It is slightly slower.

Here is a video displaying how incredibly similar these characters are.
