Joker from Persona 5 announced for Smash Bros. Ultimate (DLC Pack 1)

[Neoxon]

That looks cool! It would join Earthbound and Castlevania as a series with a relatively intricate symbol. What exactly does that symbol refer to? I've only played P5.

It's the symbol for the arcana/tarot cards, a recurring theme of the Persona series.

If I was told to select the Persona tracks & was limited to songs between P3 to PQ2 (with a focus on Persona 5 for obvious reasons), I'd choose...

• Persona 3
  • Burn My Dread -Last Battle-
  • Mass Destruction
  • The Battle for Everyone's Souls
• Persona 3 Portable
  • Wiping All Out
• Persona 4
  • Pursuing My True Self
  • Reach Out to The Truth
• Persona 4 Golden
  • Shadow World
  • Time to Make History
• Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
  • Break Out of...
• Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
  • Maze of Life
  • Light Up the Fire in the Night (P4 Battle Theme)
  • Light Up the Fire in the Night (P3 Battle Theme)
  • Laser Beam
• Persona 5
  • Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There
  • Last Surprise
  • Life Will Change
  • Life Will Change (Instrumental)
  • Willpower
  • Beneath the Mask
    • This may get remixed to have a more battle-friendly tempo
  • Keeper of Lust
  • Jaldabaoth
  • Blooming Villain
  • The Whims of Fate
  • Rivers in the Desert
• Persona Q2: New Cinema Labrynth
  • Road Less Taken
  • Invitation to Freedom (P5 Battle Theme)
  • Remember, We Got Your Back (P4 Battle Theme)
  • Wait and See (P3 Battle Theme)
  • Pull My Trigger (P3P Battle Theme)

Fantastic selection. I would also include Unavoidable Battle from P3 as well

I just added it.

Man I'm still so happy about this.

They really nailed Joker's design (and the P5 character designs in general) that I'm happy it took until now for this to happen, Joker is so much cooler than other SMT/Persona characters.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Any ideas about what Persona's series symbol will be?

I personally think we'll get the Phantom Thieves symbol instead.

The Phantom Thieves symbol is only significant in the context of Persona 5 and not the Persona series as a whole. Typically most 3rd party reps in Smash represent their entire series in some form so it's more than likely that a catch all Persona series logo may be used in this case.

I wouldn't mind the Phantom Thieves logo though. Although I suppose the FF7 Meteor representing Cloud might an outlier in this case, so who knows, they might use the Phantom Thieves logo.

Honestly I don't think that matters as much as people give it credit for.

The phantom thieves symbol is a more eye catching image imo, hence why I think they would use it.

Take "Shadow World" out and it's perfect.
I vote for the tarot symbol as well.

It's also a very oblique reference to Philemon, the otherworldly entity in charge of giving Personas to people, and Igor's "boss". He doesn't appear in person in the Social Link era of the Persona games, but any time you see a mask design motif or a butterfly, it's referencing Philemon.

I love Persona 5 soundtrack, but everyone keeps forgetting the ultimate battle theme from Persona games:

 

[Cugel]

Will character packs add spirits and/or music / items ?

We know they add a character, music tracks, and a stage. They haven;t said whether or not they add new items and/or spirits.

The end of the video they debut the JP dub version of the Game Awards Joker trailer (just a slightly dialogue change in the beginning). Also this depiction of Kirby absorbing the P5 cat.

Sakurai like Morgana because it gives him the gift he's been waiting for all these years: SLEEP

I've never played an SMT or Persona game. However, I'm looking forward to Joker and everything that comes with him. What are some of the popular music from both franchises?
