Last big pairing, though I chose those words carefully:

KID ICARUS CHARACTERS

PIT
--Unlocks: #4 in Vs, #3 in Samus's Classic line (after Inkling & Wii Fit), or in the Temple of Light in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--Altered dash attack.
--Now proclaims "I never learned how to read" on Star KOs.
--New FS: Lightning Chariot (source: Uprising)

PALUTENA
--Unlocks: Final Vs unlock, #8 in Kirby's Classic line (after Ness, Puff, Pac, Zelda, Robin, Corrin, & Lucas), or guarding Master Hand in the Final Battle of WoL.
--Faster.
--Up smash does magic damage instead of neutral.
--Out of all her custom specials in Smash 4, she is now locked into:
==B: Autoreticle
==Side B: Explosive Flame
==Up B: Warp
==Down B: Counter/Reflect Barrier

DARK PIT
--Unlocks: #54 in Vs, #8 in Samus's Classic line (after Inking, Wii Fit, Pit, Incineroar, Dark Samus, Cloud, & Wario), or in Dracula's Castle in the Dark Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--Altered dash attack.

MOTHER CHARACTERS

NESS
--Unlocks: #1 in Vs, #1 in Kirby's Classic line, or in Magicant in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--Jumps higher.
--Nair & pummel now do PSI damage instead of neutral.
--Throws are no longer affected by weight.
--PK Flash now passes through soft platforms & doesn't fizzle on hard platforms.
--PK Thunder now has aiming indicator.

LUCAS
--Unlocks: #36 in Vs, #7 in Kirby's Classic line (after Ness, Puff, Pac, Zelda, Robin, & Corrin), or in the northwest village in the Light Realm of WoL.
--Faster.
--Jumps higher.
--Pummel is now PSI instead of neutral.
--PK Freeze now passes through soft platforms & doesn't fizzle on hard platforms.
--PK Thunder now has aiming indicator.
--PSI Magnet now has a windbox.

So. Dark Pit's still in the game. Yup.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
