I absolutely love the games twist on the “evil clone” trope Despite being so abrasive and combative, Pitoo is just as good natured and righteous as Pit is, Their good heart is the axis from which they both reflect eachother and meet at a common ground. Pitoo is the true reflection of Pit, Because while Pit is a soldier who fights for what’s right, and for lady Palutena, Dark Pit is an independent spirit who fights for what he believes in and under no flag but his own One is order, The other is freedom, But both are nonetheless good people when it comes down to it. And in a weird way; they both make up for eachothers weaknesses like brothers. While all sides in the war between the gods have committed horrible acts, It’s Pitoos friendship with Pit that makes him realize that Hades is the true enemy, And through Dark Pits influence, we get a better picture of how petty the conflict is, Even in regards to the side we fight on.
I'm willing to bet Dark Pit was inspired by the first idea brought up for this game. Originally, it would have seen Pit cast out of Skyworld after being banished by Palutena, forced to survive on Earth. Over the years he would grow more independent while also delving into dark magic, which would have turned his wings black. His hair was black as well.
Ough okay I gotta geek out about musical theming in narratives once more hold on- Dark Pit (the character) is one who doesn’t like to hold himself to a particular set of morals. He doesn’t truly join the bad guys, but he also doesn’t truly join the good guys. He does his own thing, of his own accord, on his own time. Much like Dark Pit (the character), Dark Pit (the song) doesn’t really “join in” with the other music. While most of the other songs are traditional orchestral scores, Dark Pit (the song) goes off and marches to its own beat. The musical choices in the game are top-notch.
I think another way for me to think of Dark Pit is almost like a "mercenary" they aren't particularly "good" or "evil" they just do the job they are paid to do. And for Dark Pit it's not being "paid" and more so whichever side happens to benefit him most. For example against Pandora he teams with Pit only to turn on him when them working together isn't beneficial to him anymore.
I’m not sure if I said it before. But the lead guitar thats used here is NOT a Classical Guitar, or acoustic. Its a Greek Mandolin. And honestly it makes much more sense than a Classical or Acoustic in the setting of Kid Icarus.
Still slightly hoping for a port for Switch... Just slightly though since Nintendo has the reputation of leaving certain franchises and games abandoned for some reason.
Love how this song ties in with the different sections of the flying section of the stage. Used to always listen to this song while doing Smash Run in Smash Bros 3DS as well as replaying through this chapter to see all the different Pittoo interactions
You haven't lived until you've gone to your local park wearing all black, hogged the swings for an hour going as high as you can, all while blasting this song at max volume through god awful purple dollar tree earbuds. My legs were burning and I felt physically ill afterwards but I REGRET NOTHING.
I feel Kinda bad for Dark Pit I think he just want to be a person and not just Pit. You can see that by the fact that he hate the nickname that Pit and Palu gave him, Pitoo (and in French it's Tip) wich is really similiar to Pit one basically mean Pit 2 and the other one is just Pit spelled backward. I think that's the reason why he is more in a neutral side not against you but not entirely with you. he want to forge his own person
Even though I never had a 3ds I loved this game when I was younger, and just now I dug up this song and all the memories of studying every weapon's abilities and praying that it'll be released on the Switch flooded my brain with that opening guitar strum. These are the best five minutes I've ever had the privilege of re-experiencing.
@@dan_hellsing haha not yet! My guitar ability has grown quite a bit in the past few months so maybe I'll come back to this song soon and see if I can figure out something then
Omg I never knew there’s an archive channel now after Deoxys and Gilvasunner got demolished by Nintendo- Back to hearing Kid Icarus Uprising music daily once more
I love that dark pit isn't actually bad actually I think he's the least corrupted character. anytime we fight dark pit it's pit that started the fight and the time in the lunar sanctum he was payed to defend it from pit and if he had won the 3 year war wouldn't have happened.
Are you sure? Synthesizers have gotten significantly better pretty rapidly in the past decade Ish. Dark souls 3 ost was entirely synthesized besides a couple voices for like 2 specific boss fights
Into a shining dawn To fight another day The world keeps fighting on And I see black and grey Before the night falls I'm gonna take flight And then I'm gonna find my way Into the fading dawn I'll beat all the odds The world keeps fighting on So I scream to the sky Damn the gods
This is so much better than the actual Dark Pit Theme, it makes me sad that Smash Ultimate didn't include it. I guess it's because it's wasn't really made to be looped, but rather to follow the action and lore beats during the actual level in Kid Icarus Uprising, so taking only the song would be experiencing it out of context.
@@manimanistatue Yeah but the song was only used in Smash Run, which lasts exactly 5 minutes, so it made sense to use it there. It wasn't available in regular matches.
