It’ll take a lot more effort for Dark Pit than it would for the main hero, but I believe that he can still defeat Palutena. It would be a close fight and Palutena has a lot of good energy blasts to hold her own in this battle. It just ultimately won’t be enough and Dark Pit has proven that he can move at high speeds and dodge attacks that would have crushed most opponents. He was a surprising addition to Super Smash, but a fun one nonetheless. Dark Pit wins.
