Death Battle (Season 2, Episode 2): Meta Knight VS Dark Pit

Dark Pit's Backstory

Wiz: After 25 years since the defeat of the Goddess of Darkness, Medusa, she was "somehow" revived so she could get a second chance to defeat her enemies, Pit and the Goddess of Light, Palutena.

Antasma: If by "somehow," you mean that, SPOILERS, the real villain and Lord of the Underworld, Hades revived her. So the day had to be saved again by Pit.

Spooky: One of Pit's missions was to defeat the Goddess of Calamity, Pandora and destroy a dangerous weapon called the Mirror of Truth. He encountered Pandora, in which they battled.

Boomstick: Noticing she was really bad at this "kill the angel" thing, Pandora decided to give up and give Pit the damn mirror. Pit started to run up to it and destroy it, but right before he broke it, a shadowy replica of him appeared in the mirror. Once the mirror was destroyed, a goth angel came out.

Wiz: The angel that came out was the dark doppelgänger of Pit, Dark Pit.

Antasma: Cress, vee all know vhat his name really is.

Spooky: Please don't-

Boomstick: PITTOO BITCHES!

Wiz: Ugh! Anyway, Dark Pit is the physical manifestation of Pit's dark side and looks almost identical to him. The only visible differences being his clothing, wings, and eye color. Oh, and that he can fly on his own due to absorbing Pandora's powers, unlike Pit.

Antasma: And then the not so visible ones, such as his attitude. Now you might think he is all bad, but it turns out that Dark Pit is not actually eefill.

Spooky: You see, the Mirror of Truth was destroyed by Pit right before Dark Pit was complete. This made him not fight for Medusa but also not fight for Palutena.

Boomstick: So the only neutral character in this entire game, is a goth anti-hero that is cocky-as-all-hell?

Wiz: Yup! Dark Pit can use a variety of weapons in battle and it's mostly chosen by the player on what he gets. However, he has been shown to prefer and use certain weapons in other media. A main theme with these weapons is that they can be fired rapid fire or can be charged for a charge shot.

Antasma: Dark Pit's main weapon is his Silver Bow. Ironically, this bow is a prototype of a veapon that Pit uses called the Palutena Bow. Unlike most other bows, the shots it fires get veaker the farther they go, so he likes to use close-quarters combat. Speaking of stay up close, the bow can also be split apart to form two swords. He holds one of them normally and the other in a reverse grip.

Spooky: This allows him to go from firing projectiles to slashing opponents quite easily. The shots of the Silver Bow also home in on targets. He also has the Electroshock Arm. This weapon covers his entire arm, and he can send out electrical projectiles that can paralyze foes. The charge shots expand the farther they go and a single hit from it can send an opponent flying backwards.

Boomstick: The Guardian Orbitars are two objects that float next to Dark Pit. They follow him around everywhere even while running and jumping. As the name implies, these weapons are for defense. They shield Dark Pit from both sides or can make one giant shield in front of him. These weapons also have the awesome ability to send projectiles right back at opponents.

Wiz: The First Blade is, well, the first weapon you get at the beginning of the game. Being the first weapon you ever get, it is probably the most balanced weapon. It can switch from sword to gun mode extremely quickly and Dark Pit makes great use of it.
