Dark Pit's Counter Picks

use nair off stage as an edgeguarding tool

Fair is an amazing spacing tool, use it when the opponent is jumpy and to keep them back. Down air is an incredible move that can be used to even start combos. Use shorthop Dair to start something up.

mix up your arrow timing in neutral to fool your opponent (especially if they have a reflect/absorb)

down grab -> shorthop fair -> fastfall -> either grab or another down grab

grab, down throw, dash, up-smash (low percent)
