Smash Bros Ultimate datamine: Mementos seems to be Joker's stage (further confirms Persona 5R/Erdrick for Switch leak?)

I don't enjoy World of Light so if you're on that side of the fence then the lack of arcadey quick get in and get out of modes definitely is a bummer.
Mementos doesn't really confirm anything since it was the obvious stage choice.
The Jane stuff is way more interesting although....

This would the easiest explanation
I guess we won't know until someone finds the third character, but this would indeed explain so much about "Brave" being there.
The inklings have different outfits for each alt, although the base body is the same for each gender, but all the accessories and such are actually modeled, not just texture changes. There's also villager, although outside of the face that's mostly different textures. Cloud also got technically 3 alts last time (standard, AC, and AC with torn sleeves).
you guys know the song is gonna have the smash bros touch to make the music epic, not even considering we will have more tracks coming
Interesting! Funny I missed this person. They seem on the money. Thanks.
Except that that the crossdressing costume didn't have a ponytail. It was just long, loose hair.
I'm guessing this is the correct way to take it if the leak is legit.
That aside, other demon/shadow cameos in the background is still a must.
In the Persona fighting games so far, the main characters only use their main, iconic, unique Persona, so I'd honestly imagined Smash would be the same.
Mega Man gets to use a huge assortment of robot master weapons, though, so I think Joker should get to have just as much fun
IT'S ONLY FAIR
How does that work again in Persona itself? Most characters have one, but Joker can rebind? If so, I see no collision here. If you have a Persona fighting game you maybe don't want that unique character (or subset of characters) that has many for either balance (if they're bound to particular mechanics) or appeal reasons. If you have Smash, there's no comparison point, so Sakurai can do whatever.
Margaret's an exception with her use of 3 different personas, but yeah.
For the way I want Joker to play like, I don't think I'd like this much. I want it to be about multi-pronged attacks by remotely manipulating Arsene while also controlling Joker. I love that stuff.
Bayonetta was still robbed, though. No giant electric hammer, no triple-bladed claw scythe, no quadruple wielding swords... or the first game's rocket launchers, ice skates, etc.
He didn't mentions HRC since he said he wouldn't spoil upcoming modes tho.
Speculation that the "Jane" in the Smash DLC leaks is related to "Jack", which is Joker. So a female skin for Joker leads to additional speculation about a female MC in the Switch version of Persona 5.
A lot of speculation, but very interesting, and it ties together well.
Nice! I have been claiming for a female Persona protagonist for years. Hope it happens in the Switch version.
Kind of funny seeing this fan design having twin tails taking in the context of the potential real FemJoker having a ponytailI was already super hyped for Joker and I was hoping there would be a possibility of a female alt. My hype has risen
(I like this fan art, but it needs pants)
Makes sense when you think about it.
They'd want her to stand out from Ann. I wonder if she'd have black hair or if they'd go with a different color?
Black makes the most sense since Ann is blonde, Makoto and Haru different shades of brunette and Futaba a redhead.
The only overlap would be if they decided to add Hifumi to the main party again in the rerelease
With Xbox Game Pass (likely) coming to the Switch; if we still get Steve over Master Chief or Banjo (who are both part of the Game Pass line-up) I will be very disappointed.
Challenger Pack 1: Joker - Mementos
Challenger Pack 2: Erdrick - Alefgard
Challenger Pack 3: Banjo & Kazooie - Grunty's Lair
Challenger Pack 4: Doom Marine - Mars
Challenger Pack 5: ??? (I have plenty of picks I would like here: Phoenix Wright, Leon Kennedy, Dante, Monster Hunter, Lloyd Irving, The Prince, Ryu Hayabusa; I would welcome them all).
That's the dream (though I would've preferred a different SE rep, but i'll accept Erdrick). Though, two western third-parties might be a bit too much.

Monster Hunter and Banjo would make me the happiest. Only way they could top that is with Cuphead but even I am not that optimistic.
I wish that's the last 3. But nah, Steve is totally happening before Banjo, there's already Monster Hunter representation, and Elma missed her shot.
Black feels the most appropriate, but they did go with a different color for the female P3 MC. There's still the gray like Yu and Akihiko. Or Mitsuru's red, perhaps darker?
Red, black or grey would work really well with Joker's outfit i feel, and the school uniform
there's no xenoblade x rappresentation in ultimate, at all
xenoblade x on switch will happen eventually
Spirits do count as representation tho.
Even if it's not important representation to everybody.
Don't worry Elma fans, maybe 10 years from now in the next Smash Bros. she'll show up as an assist trophy.
i'm sorry
Oh right, I misinterpreted that and was thinking it was talking about the Persona Arena characters as a whole since everyone has 1 persona except for Margaret. I'm thinking about whether the SSBU devs will take cues from the fighting games like with Ryu/Ken, or make him wholly unique.
Sorry to kill the hype for female Joker, but I personally think based on how Smash does it's files there's no way that file is for that kind of thing.
So for every character's alt costumes there's specific files, starting with c00 for the default and going up to c07 for their last alt. For each and every character with a genderswap alt, the gender alternates between costumes, meaning the following is true of most characters with gender options:
Male: c00, c02, c04, c06
Female: c01, c03, c05, c07
The only exceptions are Inkling and WFT, but that's just because they're female by default so it's just the same thing reversed. So even if there was a female Joker, the file that's been datamined is a c06 file, meaning it's for a male Joker costume. So really, it gives us nothing. Joker would have to be female by default for it to be relevant, and there's no way in hell that's happening. More likely this is a file for something like the inevitable All-Out Attack Final Smash where Ann shows up or something.

Hang on a sec, didn't someone find files in the game that listed the names of some old Rare games?
If so, I think Banjo's odds might actually not be so bad considering that Ultimate already has files referencing old games that are just as irrelevant as he is, if not more so. And with the Microsoft deal looking more likely by the day, why else would Ultimate have those files than for Banjo anyway?

If I remember correctly, those games were Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini. Nintendo has the trademark or something for their Japanese titles, but not the games themselves. The devs were likely just mistaken and thought Nintendo actually owned those games.
The Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps names can be explained: both of those games had different titles in Japan (Star Twins and Blast Dozer), which Nintendo still own. The team putting together the Spirit list likely believed Nintendo owned the rights to those games because they owned the Japanese titles, but after they found out that they didn't, they scrapped any planned Spirits from those games.
