Same. Only because I don't think you could tell him apart from regular Pit enough to be a full character. Outside of a model change(which would be nice, honestly).
Not just the fact I want Medusa playable. Dark Pit having Pit's earlier moves(and gliding) would still be neat, don't get me wrong.
Shadow?Technically speaking, he IS Pit, as a manifestation of all his inner darkness.
... I will never get over Pit's inner darkness being Chaotic Good at worst.
I sure said that!To be pendantic, he was meant as an Evil Knock Off; a copy of Pit who would be loyal to Pandora and Medusa, to give them a One-Man Army equal to Pit.
But Pit shattered the Mirror of Truth before its magic could be completed, so Dark Pit was instead a copy of Pit without Pit's loyalty to Palutena, or any god. And he managed to inherit Pit's burning hatred of Medusa. Good job there, Pandora.

When you go for the Evil Clone of an Angel and get a Chaotic Good Jerk with a Heart of Gold it's a reasonable assumption that the original is probably a good contender for being Ultra-super Pure good.
It's still amusing how desperate Dark Pit is to make sure nobody thinks he's a nice guy, in spite of actually being a nice guy.

Dark Pit is another exception, since his abilities are practically the exact same as Pit's. And his looks are, as well.
Only other potential exception I could think of is Cosplay Pikachu. Again, discounting palette/texture swap references.
(Dry Bowser doesn't count, he was originally Bowser.)
I like to think it's mostly because Pit is too naive to see the world in anything besides black and white, hehe.

🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaMan, all these KIU spoilers. Maybe I should stop trying to play the game on a higher difficulty setting and just enjoy the story on a lower setting so I can finish the damn thing already.
I wonder about Dark Pit, but I assume he's just an alt for Pit. Unless he actually fought differently than Pit does in KIU...
As noted, Pit in 4 and Brawl play very differently.
So Dark Pit having Pit's Brawl moveset would make sense.
Likewise, it's not like how they played in Uprising matters too much. Smash is hardly canon. I'd list examples, but I think we can all look at one particular clone and nod our heads in agreement that "canon clearly gets ignored".

Shadow?
No. Plant Barrier is more useless. There's probably some variations, i.e. Plant Barrier being more useless. But it's definitely a seperate move from Leaf Shield.
As for Beat, I'm super happy to see the little guy. <3 He's the resident bottomless put rescue service, so it makes sense that he'd be an Up B.
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaFrom what I can tell from two minutes on Youtube (since I have no familiarity with MM 6), Plant Barrier doesn't seem like it can be fired, so that's a major difference right off the bat.
There's plenty of other candidates for variation on the down special, honestly. That whole concept of a shield weapon that has object circling Mega Man has recurred a lot over the games.
a.k.a. Cly, that one girl who doesn't post here much anymore Something something YI = SMW 2 = SMB 5.I'd like Junk Barrier. Damages on contact, and breaks apart in chunks when hit, rather than all at once.
And wow! Beat recovery! I'll be honest, I didn't think they'd get too creative with the recovery move, but they managed to turn Megs' bouncing pose into something different! Congrats!
So, I'm betting all his variants will be different boss weapons. I'm thinking Shadow Blade and maybe Ring Boomerang to replace Metal Blade.
Near anything could replace Crash Bomber. That basic "shooting the buster" animation has room for so many things.

I have a message from another time...I hope they stick to bombs for the Side B just so we get Remote Mine or Commando Bomb.
I think the last Up B may be Neo Rush Coil, but I'm not sure.

There's one costume I'm rooting for. Dark Pit.
They don't even need to bring in a different VA.
