Ren had an easy way out with his Joker codename, but it's not like Yu has his own codename.

They'd probably call him "Hero" like in Golden's opening.
Don't know why Atlus is so weird with the protag names. He was just called Yu Narukami in the Arena games. C'mon, Atlus, just do that all the time.
I wonder if this idea that the protag needs a name that everyone can recognize them (and that the VAs can say even if you name your character something else) by was one of the reasons that P5 has codenames for all of their main characters.
Sorta like Shepard in Mass Effect.

The only time he's not called Yu(besides the Smash costume) are in games where you can input a name.
Both Arena's, Dancing all Night, and Cross Tag Battle use Yu.
If their weird about anyone's names it's the P3 Hero and Joker. The Dancing games use Makoto and Ren but never refer to them as such in actual dialogue.

I'd imagine that the eventual Persona 5 Arena would use the Ren name, especially since ASW is already calling him Ren on social media. Though now ASW could run the risk of causing confusion for those who know Ren/Joker from Smash.
Could've been a reference for a scrapped thing with the inkling
Could've been a reference for the Staff weapon
Maybe they considered having Snake use a rifle-type weapon at some point!
Comedy option: reference for K Rool's blunderbus
Maybe we'll see some images of it in a famitsu article some day

I also only expect Challenger Pack 2 @ E3.
Challenger Pack 3 reveal I expect at or around Evo in August.
two reveals at E3, but only one is released right away is my guess
Any potential data on new characters got scrubbed out as far as I know.
Just the Labo Spirits, it looks like. Seems they finally learned their lesson.
Game coding is very, very difficult. For a game of the size and scope of Smash Ultimate, there are probably millions of lines of code to scrub...
Comparing Joker with other Persona protagonists, I wonder if any leads of their kind would have ever gotten in.
Someone like Narukami would be marginally more interesting than a Fire Emblem character. Joker is dressed like a modern Arsene Lupin and oozes flair with every movement. The whole Phantom Thief gig is just fun and stylish and such a huge part of Persona 5's appeal. It makes a fantastic first impression.
I can see there only be one character at e3 UNLESS there is also a first party to go with it, since I can't see introducing 3 third party characters back to back without giving any breathing room. Even Cloud enjoyed a few weeks and his own reveal, and then his release held everyone over for another 2 months before Corrin/Bayonetta were actually released.
I'm 50/50 on releasing by the end of june, I could see July
I'm interested to see what the translations have to show. Even if its not smash-related, knowing more about sakurai's approach to designing stuff is always interesting to know.
One thing I've noticed in interviews where sakurai talks about how each character was chosen, he usually starts off with how he wanted the series to be included instead of him seeing it as "xxx company should be included". Just look at the cloud interview where he states that a FF rep was intended and how he went to Atlus with the intention of asking for P5.
Of course there are exceptions (corrin was chosen based on the first-party games that were released), but I really do wonder if he would choose multiple IPs from the same company if he really felt that their representation would be fantastic.

I'm of the opinion that he chose P5 based off its critical reception. Persona as a series didn't seem to be big on his radar till recently (based off his interviews) and it never seemed to be a iconic franchise unlike FF, which was chosen in smash 4 dlc.
Then it would have been a rushed hack job and sent to die on the Wii U. Great alternate timeline you've thought up.
I guess what I'm actually thinking is Joker's inclusion in Smash feels like a testament for what the Phantom Thief aesthetic did for P5.
Or...something along those lines.

I'm positive that we could hit OT2 before Challenger Pack 2. Now I want to see if anyone have good suggestions for subtitles?
"Erdrick you glad I didn't say banana?"
"In conclusion, we stan harder than ever"
"Screw the rules, Kirby has a gun"
It will no doubt.
OT: So Capcom, Microsoft and Square Enix walk into a bar..
"Kirby's got a gun...
Whole world's come undone
What did his daddy do
What third party is new"
OT2 - A Nintendo discussion about Microsoft characters
Our Microsoft discussions seem to have dried up lately. I think some people think "Brave" will be the sole Smash announcement at E3.
we drifted back to yelling about namco reps so the microsfot part of the cycle should come back in the next few days
I wish I had a computer to make a gif of BK in sunglasses saying "they'll be back"... Because they always return.
